That's nonsense.

The difference in their ages never changes. It can't be 5 years now and 6 years 4 years from now.

This problem is faulty. If you set up equations according to the description, you will find a false equation as a result.

A, Ama
b, brother

The description given can never happen.
Age difference between brother and sister will never change.
