A
B
C
Here is the answer
When you were 2 years old, your sister was twice your age, which means she was 4 years old at that time (2 years x 2 = 4 years).
Now that you are 40 years old, you need to calculate the age difference between you and your sister back then and apply it to your current age. The age difference between you and your sister is 2 years (4 years – 2 years = 2 years).
Therefore, if your sister were 2 years older than you when you were 2 years old, she would also be 2 years older than you. Hence, your sister is currently 42 years old (40 years + 2 years = 42 years).
