Question
Select the correct answerRatna’s father was 38 years old when she was born while her mother was 36 years old when her brother 4 years younger to she was born. What is the difference between the ages of her parents?Options8 years4 years2 years6 years
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to understand the age difference between Ratna and her brother, and how that affects the ages of their parents when each child was born.
-
Ratna's brother is 4 years younger than she is. This means that when he was born, Ratna was 4 years old.
-
Ratna's mother was 36 years old when her brother was born. Because Ratna was 4 at this time, this means that her mother was 36 - 4 = 32 years old when Ratna was born.
-
Ratna's father was 38 years old when she was born.
-
Therefore, the difference in age between Ratna's parents when she was born is 38 (father's age) - 32 (mother's age) = 6 years.
So, the correct answer is 6 years.
