The most popular and correct answer to this puzzle is 42 years old. Logic: If the sister was twice the age when the person was two, then she was four years old at the time (2 × 2 = 4). This means she is just two years older than the person. If the person is now 40 years old, then the sister becomes 42 years old (40 + 2 = 42).
