Let my age be y,my sister age is 2y.
When i was 2 yr old,she was 4 yr old.When i am 40 yr old,she will be 80 yr old.
There is no way it can be 42 or 44.
when i was 2 she was 4,is it possible for me to be 40 now and she is 42 or 44 or 38.

Though mathematics showed me flames back in high school to a point that I even dropped it, I think the sister is now 80 years.

When i was 2 my sister was twice my age,that means 2×2=4
She is 2 years older than i am

Now i am 40 she should be 42
And i insist i am very correct.

42 is the correct answer. No argument about that.

So if you were 3 and she was 6,now you are 40 she will be 43 abi?
The question said twice my age and not two years older than me.

It says she was twice my age at 2 years old. Then the problem tells you 38 years passed. Time moves linearly so she won't remain two times older forever. It would not make sense for the sister to grow twice as old for every year the sibling grows. The sister won't turn 6 next year when he turns 3.

Thinking it should be 42 years on a second thought

I wonder how people miss this question. It's seems like an insult to ask this question and when people still gets it wrong I feel deeply disappointed. I mean you don't even need a calculator.

Exactly, the question wants to feel like logic but it's just a silly, stupid, simple question. You don't have to think far at all. But here we have harlequin getting it wrong and still boasting. He's not the first to get it wrong tho. Them plenty

Baba you dey wrong. Even if you would use word problem to solve it. It goes thus
My age is 2 my sister is times 2 which is 4
So now I'm 40 which means 38 years don pass, so just had that 38 years to my sister 4 years too to give you 42. Abi your sister na allien wey they grow twice your age every year. Example the following year you will be 3 wouldn't your sister turn 5 abi na 6 she go turn? True this can't be solved as a word problem.

This is mathematics you don't compare questions with reality,solve according to the question.
