There is a mathematical solution for this. Try to answer this question and put your answer in the comments.
Answer:
Mandy (M) is 21 years older than Raju (Child 'C').
M = C + 21
In 6 years from now the mom will be 5 times as old as the child.
M + 6 = ( C + 6 ) x 5
C + 21 + 6 = ( C + 6) x 5
C + 27 = 5C + 30
-3 = 4C
C = -3/4
The child is -3/4 year old, that's -9 months.
Child will be born in 9 months. So, you can guess where is Mandy's husband right now?
