Puzzle – Where is the father?

Question:
The mother of the child is 21 years older. The mother will be precisely 5 times as old as the child in exactly 6 years. Where is the father?

Solution:
Let’s assume the present age of the child be x
So the mother’s age shall be x+21
6 years from the present, the age of the child and mother will be x+6 and x+27, respectively.
As per the question,
x+27 =5(x+6)
x+27 =5x+30
From the calculation, x is coming out as -3/4 = -0.75
It is negative, therefore it means that the child is not born yet.
So where he(Father) is?
Let’s find out.
3/4 of a year is 9 months, and it is a fact that the human baby takes 9 months in the mother’s womb to develop fully.
So, the mother at present is conceiving the child or procreating with his father.
