Multiples of 4: 4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32.....
Multiples of 7: 7,14,21,28,35,42....

Common multiples of 4 & 7 is 28.
Janice is 28 years old now.

Hmm… My steps are

1) see which numbers square up to 400 (that is 2020 = 400)
2) since we need consecutive numbers (pages facing each other) , we start with 2120
3) happens 1st try (no 21) was the correct answer

Hope it helps

The multiples of 4 must be (+1) of the multiples of 7 coz of ''next year'' (+1 year).
''Small'', you are right... both 7 & 35 are possible answers.
Usually, such question will state ''more than xx years old and less than xx years old''.
Eg. ''Janice is more than 10 years old and less than 40 years old\".

Multiples of 7 : 7 14 21 28 35
Multiples of 4 : 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36
