If at age 6, the younger brother was half of the age of the speaker,
at that point in time, the speaker's age was ,
and the age difference between them was years.
The difference in age will continue to be years.
The speaker says "now I am 60".
If that is a true statement,
the same younger brother of the speaker is now
.

We have no information about the speaker's sons' ages.
We just know that one is at least 3, and the another one is at least .
Maybe when a younger son turned 3 yesterday, while another son was 6.
Maybe that happened a year ago,
or 10 years ago, or 30 years ago.

Solution:

When I was six, my sister was half of my age.

Age of sister = 6/2 = 3

This implies that the sister is 3 years younger.

Now, when I’m 70, age of sister = 70 - 3

Age of sister = 67.

Therefore, the age of my sister = 67 years.

Example:

When I was ten, my sister was half my age. Now I'm 70, how old is she?
