B. 6 years
C. 4 years

Le t us assume the present Nisha's age be P years.
Then Nisha's younger brother Age will be P - 4.
Then father present age = 38 + P
Mother present Age = 36 + P - 4 = 32 + P
According to question,
Difference in age of parents = Father age - Mother age
Difference in age of parents = 38 + P - (32 + P)
Difference in age of parents = 38 + P - 32 - P = 6 years.
