The difference between the ages of two brothers is half the difference between the ages of their parents. The elder brother is now 18 years of age and their father’s age was 32 years when younger brother was born who is now 15 years old. What is their mother’s age? Correct Answer 41 years

Let the present age of mother = x years

 Father’s present age = 32 + 15 = 47 years

According to the question

⇒ 47 – x = 2 (18 – 15)

⇒ 47 – x = 6

⇒ x = 47 – 6 = 41 years

∴ Present age of mother is 41 years
