If you can solve this you're a genius (actually it's not that hard - just simple algebra)
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? Have a go before you check the answer below. No cheating Even if you're a little weak in maths have an attempt ........ Solution : The mother (M) is 21 years older than the child , so 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 induction.... ... At this moment the Father is on top of Mother. |
