Alright, lets get started.

The ages of all four sisters will be = x, x+2, x+4, x+6

As per given in question, two times of youngest sister age exceeds the oldest sister age by 30 means

2x - 30 = (x+6)

Simplifying the equation

2x - (x+6) = 30

2x - x - 6 = 30

x = 36

So this is the age of youngest sister.

So, age of oldest sister will be x + 6 = 36 + 6 = 42

Hene the age of oldest sister is 42 years.   :  Answer

Hope it will help :)
