Let the elder sister's age be x and younger sister's age be y
Given that difference between two the ages of to sisters is 2 years
⇒ x - y = 2
Given that father's age is 52, then mother's age = 50
Also given that elder sister's age x = half of the mother's age = 50/2 = 25
Substitute x = 25 in x - y = 2
⇒ 25 - y = 2
⇒ y = 25 - 2 = 23
