    Solution :

    The mum is 21 years older than the child.

    let M = current age of the mom
    &...C = current age of 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

    C + 21 + 6 = (C + 6) x 5
    [since
    M = C + 21 ]

    C + 27 = 5C + 30

    -3 = 4C
    C = -3/4

    The child is -3/4 years old, it'll be born in 9
    months.


    Therefore, right now, the father is on top of the mother :Lighten:
