PLease try this one. Please do not scroll down till you give up with the
answer.
Solution :
The mum is 21 years older than the child.
M = C + 21
In 6 years from now the mum will be 5 times as old as the child.
M + 6 = (C + 6) x 5
Hence,
C + 21 + 6 = (C + 6) x 5
C + 27 = 5C + 30
-3 = 4C
C = -3/4 = -9 months
The child is -3/4 years old, it'll be born in 9 months.
"So right now, the father is on top of the MOTHER!!"
