Ayesha’s father was 38 years of age when she was born while her mother was 36 years old when her brother four years younger to her was born. What is the difference between the ages of her parents?
We are given the following information:
Ayesha’s father was 38 years old when she was born.
Ayesha’s brother is 4 years younger than her.
Ayesha’s mother was 36 years old when her brother was born.
Step 1: Define Variables
Let:
Ayesha’s age = A
Ayesha’s brother’s age = A – 4
Father’s age now = 38 + A
Mother’s age when brother was born = 36
Mother’s age now = 36 + (A – 4) = 32 + A
Step 2: Find the Age Difference
The difference between the ages of her parents:
(38 + A) – (32 + A) = 38 – 32 = 6
Final Answer:
The difference between Ayesha’s father’s and mother’s ages is 6 years.
