Concept: Ayesha’s father was 38 years of age when she was born while her mother was 36 years old when her brother 4 years younger to her was born. The difference between the ages of her parents is 6 years.
All we have to do is apply the warped knowledge that has been provided. Ayesha's father's age was disclosed at the time of birth. When a brother is born, the mother's age is supplied, along with the relationship between Ayesha and his brother's age. This indicates, indirectly, the relationship between Ayesha's mother and father. To find the difference, simply multiply the two ages.[17]
For example, Ayesha's father was 38 years old when she was a baby.
When her brother, who is four years her junior, was born, her mother was 36 years old.
Ayesha was therefore four years old when her brother was born.
Therefore, (36 - 4) = 32 years old is the mother's age at the time of Ayesha's birth, or when Ayesha was 0 years old.
The age difference (D) between her parents is therefore D = age of the mother at the time of Ayesha's birth - age of the father.
D=38-32=6 years
Her parents are six years apart in age.
Hence, the correct response is 6 years
