The older more likely.

Explanation:

The odds will be the same for either of the woman. The older more likely to have a twins. Hormonal changes as women age further are likely to be another reason the older one is more likely to have a twins. A study by Homburg and colleagues found out that older women have higher level of FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) hormones, which influences the likelihood of having fraternal twins. They are likely to prepare more than one egg in a menstrual cycle.
