Let the age of the father be 'f', mother be 'm', Hari be 'h', Chari be 'c'. It has been given that Chari is 4 years older than Gouri. Therefore, the age of Gouri is c-4.
When Chari was born, the sum of the ages of Hari, his father and mother was 70 years.
If Chari's age is 'c' now, then Chari's father's age when Chari was born would have been 'f-c' (i.e, Current age - the number of years that has passed after Chari's birth). The same holds true for all the family members.
=> f - c + m - c + h - c = 70
f+m+h-3c = 70 -------------(1)
The sum of the ages of the 4 family members when Gouri was born was twice the sum of the ages of the father and mother at the time of Hari's birth
=> f-(c-4) + m -(c-4) + h -(c-4) + c - (c-4) = 2(f-h+m-h)
=> f + m + h + c - 4(c-4) = 2f + 2m - 4h
f+m+h-3c + 16 = 2f+2m-4h
Substituting (1), we get,
70 +16 = 2f+2m-4h
43 + 2h= f+m ---------------(2)
Substituting (2) in (1), we get,
43 + 2h + h - 3c = 70
3h - 3c = 27
=> h-c = 9
Therefore, the difference between the age of Hari and Chari is 9 years. Therefore, option D is the right answer
