A mother is 21 years older than the child.
6 years from now the mother will be 5 times as old as the child.
Question : Where's the father? (25 Marks)
Try first, before you check the answer below.-- Whoever calculated this one must be one hell of a mathematician …….
Solution: The mother 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 5Hence, C + 21 + 6 = (C + 6) x 5C + 27 = 5C + 30-3 = 4CC = -3/4
The child is -3/4 years old.
A year has 12 months
And 3/4 of a year is 9 months-3/4 years is -9 months
So the child is -9 months old.
Therefore, the child will be born in 9 months.
Thus.. by mathematical deduction...
Right now, the father is on top of the mother!
Lol!
Thanx BJ!
