Choose an answer
A.21 years old.
B.23 years old.

D.The oldest brother is 19 years old not 21 years old.
Hint: It's a 9-word phrase with 37 letters, starting with "T".
Answer
The oldest brother is 19 years old not 21 years old.
Why this is the answer
With seven brothers spaced two years apart and the youngest at 7, the ages run 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 - so the oldest is 19, not the 21 many people mistakenly guess.
