A mother is 21 years older than her child.
In 6 years time, the mother will be 5 times older than the child.
Question: Where is the father?
Answer:
M = Mother
C = Child
M = C + 21
M+6 = (C+6)*5
C+21+6 = (C+6)*5
C+21+6 = 5C + 30
C+27 = 5C + 30
27 = 4C + 30
-3 = 4C
-3/4 = C
-9 months = C
Therefore the child was in bed with the mother 9 months before he was born!
