Amita is 2 years older than her friend Amrita. Amita's father is twice as old as
Amita and Amrita is twice as old as her sister. The ages of Amita's father and
Amrita's sister differs by 43 years. The difference between the ages of Amita and
Amrita is:
2
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 2.
Amita is 2 years older than her friend Amrita
Thus, difference = 2 years
Alternatively:-
Amrita’s age = x years
Amita’s age = x + 2
Amita’s father’s age = 2(x + 2)
Amrita’s sister’s age = x/2
⇒ 2(x + 2) - x/2 = 43
⇒ 4(x + 2) - x = 86
⇒ 4x + 8 - x = 86
⇒ 3x = 78
⇒ x = 26
Difference = x + 2 - x = 2 years
