Mind the Gap

If his brother was 1 year old and the other was 2 years old, the diference is of one year old,the difernce forever going to be 1 year, hence, the answer is 18. $\square$

1 year difernce are not going to change (forever) so 19-1=18

It is given that when the person was 2 years old, his brother was just half of his age. Therefore, we get: 2*(1/2)=1. i.e his brother's age is 1 year. Now the person is 19 year old. So, his brother should be 1 year younger than him. Hence, his brother's age is 18 years.

If his brother was half his age when he was two that means his brother was 1 year old. So the brother will always be one year younger as the answer is 18.

When he was 2 years old, his brother was 1 year old. So if he was 19 years old, his brother would be 18 years old since when he was 2 his brother is 1 year younger. :)

Since the author is 2 years old at the time and the younger brother is half that age, this means that there is a 1 year difference (2/2 = 1). Knowing that age is a scale, we can conclude and say that the difference will always be 1 year. Tn = n - 1, where n > 0.

There is two brothers . when elder brother was 2 years the younger brother was 1 year. So younger brother was half the elder brother age .So now the elder brother age is 19. So don 't divide it by 2. Because when he was 3 yrs the younger one become 2 yrs.Now the younger one age is 2. But now it is not half . It was less by one . So 19 - 1=18 . So the younger age is 18

Now my age is 19 when i was 2 years old my brother was 1 year old, so now his age is 18 its simple

Me: 2 yrs ,Bro = 1 yr Me (now): 2+17 yrs=19 yrs, Bro(now) = 1+17 =18 yrs

his brother is just one year away from his age !!!!

Lol are people really having troubles with this. When they was 2 the brother was 1 meaning the brother is always one year younger than the other

Age difference = 1 year. So when he turned 19,his brother should be 19-1=18 years old

That was hard

Because of possible time dilation this question can not be answered!

Hehe, the answer is 18

2÷2 (finding one half of something) =1 so his brother was one.

2 (his age) - 1 (brother's age) = 1 (age difference)

19 ( current age) - 1 (age difference) = 18

Would have been harder with a bigger starting age and smaller fraction

Some people are too smart for their own good. Half of 2 is 1. So she's only one year older than him. You do the math.

Because half of 2 is 1 so, 2-1is1 like that, 19-1is 18

When I was 2 years old brother was 1 year when he was 3 brother was 2 :when he will be 19 his brother would be 18

Given age of elder brother = 2( given ) Given age of younger brother = 1( half of elder brother's age ) Present age of elder brother = 19 19 = given age + 17 Therefore, present age of younger brother = 1 +17 = 18

He is 2 y.o and his brother is 1 y.o so a difference of 1 y.o so in every year passing by.. He is older of 1 y.o so when he arrive 19 his brother is 18..

Its an easy one...!!

No matter how you work it the answer is 18.

When the older was two the younger was half of 2 which is 1 So the older is one year older so the younger is 18 Pretty simple question don't have to make it harder than it has to be Simple:-)

It's 18 because the older brother is older than the younger brother by one year.

Easiest question yet

if his brother was 1 year old and the other was 2 years old, the diference is of one year old,the difference forever going to be 1 year, hence, the answer is 18

I am saying any questions not a easy or hard... All questions are interesting...

The diference between the ages is: $\frac{2}{2}=1$ Because is the half, then the first guy is older then, if it has 19, his brother is: $19-1=18$

There will be one years difference so it's 18

If he is 2 half of that is 1 so his brother is 1 year younger then him so you will just subtract 1 from every age

Quite simple really, if he was one when they were two that makes him a year younger!? Not rocket science just common sense!

2\2=1 19-1=18

The difference between the 2 brothers is 1 year so when he is 19 then his brother will be 18

Gap will always be 1 year

19-2= 17 so 1+17= 18

Its the difference of one year, which is understood in the first sentence itself.

The trick is that they say half the age to confuse you

Says WAS HALF HIS AGE, at the time.he was doesn't mean he always will be

When he was 2, his brother was half, so 1. So just subtract 1 from 19 and you get 18. Very easy.

2×1\2=1 now 19-1=18

the age of my brother is under of my age with 1 year

2 divided by 2 is 1. Which means that they are only a year apart. So, when he is 19, his brother is 18.

The solution lies in the thinking and not in getting carried away by the sentence formulation of the problem. When the boy/girl was 2 years, half of two is 1, and that's the age of the brother; but essentially, with age between people, the difference is going to be constant. Hence at 19 years, the brother is going to be 18.

what I did was , well half of 2 is 1 so I just went added 1 to 2 making it 3 , then I also added 1 to 1 making it 2 so I realized it was just one year behind so the answer is obviously 18

1 year older.

When he was two, brother was one

17 years later when he was 19, his brother is eighteen.

This is not ratio!

the bro is just a year younger

2-1=1,19-1=18 the answer is 18

if his brother was 1 year old and the other was 2 years old, the diference is of one year old,the difernce forever going to be 1 year, hence, the answer is 18

the age gap bw the two brothers is 1 years ( as one was one year old and the other two ). so the age gap remains the same, when the elder brother turns 19, the younger one turns 18..

as simple as that :)

the difference between their ages is 1 year that's all it is very easy

His brother was 1 year old, when he was 2 years old, which means he is 1 year behind. therefore, 19-1=18 years old.

when he was 2 years old his brother was 1 year old now he is 19 year old his brother is defiantly 18 year old.

If when you were 2 and your brother was half your age, making him 1, each time you turned older, he would be one year younger. You: 2, 3, 4 ,5 ,6 ,7 ,8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 ,17 ,18, 19 Brother: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 ,17 ,18

If his brother was 1 year old while he was 2 years old it means that the brother will always be one year younger to him so when he turns 19 the brother will still be 1 year younger then him and 19-1 = 18. So 18 is the answer.

my age 2 brother was i m 19 he must be 18

when he was 2 years old, his brother was half his age. So 1/2 of 2 =1 thus, his brother's age is 1. The difference between their ages is 2-1=1. the difference is not going to change even when he is 19 years old. thus, his brother's age is 19-1=18 years. Cheers!!

at age of 2 years , let it be T assigned and for younger brother let it be B, now B=1/2T......B=1/2(2)=1, at age of T=19, B=T-1, B=19-1=18

Write a solution. Let X = the age of my brother. X = 1/2 (2) X = 1

     19-2=17 is the year passed by

    17+1=18 is the age of my brother now.

The older brother ages twice as fast as the first because his twin brother was only half his age at 2 so the solution is 19/2 = 8 years old

When he was 2, his brother was half his age. aka 1. One is a single year below 2, so when he is 19 his brother should be a single year younger than him, aka, 18. They are trying to screw with you with the word half

If the I was 2, then my brother was half my age, or 1. That means that my brother will always be 1 year less than me. Hence, when I am 19, my brother has to be 18

when i was 2 years old then my brother's age is just half i.e 1 year old so difference is 1 year. and now a days when i am 19 years old then my brothers age is 18 years old.

When he is 2 Years Old, his brother will be 1. Therefore he is 1 age less than him. One age less than 19, is 18 :) If he were to be 100, his brother will be 99 and so on :D

Brother 1 = 1,2,3,4.........19 Brother 2 = 0,1,2,3.........18, the difference is one year

He was 2 yr old and his brother was half of his age means 1 yr. old. Their age different 1 year i.e. his brother is one year younger than him (age difference will always be constant). So if he is 19, his brother shall be 18.

When me 2 years,then my brother is 1.Difference is 1 year.So the answer should be 18 years .

Very easy math . 18 years old .

always 1 year younger.

whan I am 2, then my brother is 1years. so after 19years old my brother is 19-1=18years old.

If x=2 and y=1÷2 (x) so y=1 And when x=19 which means after 17 years (19-2=17) x=2+17 then y= 1+ 17=18

2-1 = 1 year younger

Thus, 19-1 = 18 years old #

His brother age is half of 2. That mean 1 at that stage. So his brother is one year younger then him. So current age is (19-1)=18.

18 year old

2/2 = 2-1 = 1. Here lies the concept.

1/2=3/2 *?

The brother's only have a age difference of 1. So the younger brother is 18 years old, when the elder one is 19

18 years.......................

according to the first condition,the person =2 years
his brother =1/2*2
=1
difference between the two ages =1
therefore ,the present age of the person =19
brothers age =19-1
=18 years

his brother was half his age when he was 2, therefore his brother was 1. concluding that his brother was behind 1 year from him and so when he turned 19 his brother is simply 18 of age

Since their age Difference is 1.. The age will be 18.

The difference between the 2 ages if : 2 - 2/2 = 1 So the brother must be 19-1 = 18
