Solution:
The mother is 21 years older than the child. Let the mother be M and the Child be C
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
The child is -3/4 years old, that is, it'll be born in 9 months.
Thus.. by mathematical deduction....
Right now, the father is on top of the mother... hahahahahaha!!! Got You?
Kama kawaida, wasiojua hesabu watabisha na wengine watabaki wametoa mimacho.
Good Day my fellow mathematicians!
