Answer: The age of Maya is 12 years.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Let the age of Maya be 'm'.

According to question, Zach is 4 years older than twice his sister Maya’s age.

Age of Zach be 2m+4

and we have given that

Age of Zach = 28 years

So, it becomes,


2m+4=28\\\\2m=28-4\\\\2m=24\\\\m=(24)/(2)\\\\m=12

Hence, the age of Maya is 12 years.

Therefore, Fourth option is correct.
