C Correct answer
Explanation

Father's age = A + 38. Mother's age = (A - 4) + 36 = A + 32. Difference = (A + 38) - (A + 32) = 6 years.

AI explanation

Let Ayeshas age be A and her younger brothers age be A - 4. Her father was 38 when she was born, so the fathers present age is A + 38. Her mother was 36 when her brother was born, making the mothers present age (A - 4) + 36, which simplifies to A + 32. The difference between the fathers and mothers ages is (A + 38) - (A + 32) = 6.
