Her husband could have left her to set up his own harem for all I know, so I'll just go solve the maths problem!
Say S is Shilpa's age, and R is Raju's age.
Shilpa is 21 years older than her son, so S = R + 21.
Six years from now, when Shilpa is six years older than she is now, she'll be five times as old as Raju, so (S+6) = 5R.
This becomes a simultaneous equation,
5R - S = 6
R - S = - 21
Negate the bottom line and add:
5R - S = 6
-R + S = 21
=========
4R = 27 => R = 6.75 => Raju is 6 3/4 years old.
Now S = R + 21 so that makes Shilpa 27 3/4 years old.

This question is a) not mathematical if you are asking about the husband. He is not needed to answer the math problem, which means he is nowhere.
The answer to the math problem is Raju is 3.75 years old. His mother is 24.75 years old. To solve the problem you must first figure out what kind of equation is it. This is an equal equal equation.
R stands for the boy and S stands for the mother.
21 + r = s
5r + 6 = s
21 + r = 5r + 6
You would then subtract r from the left side and right leaving you with : 21 = 4r + 6
Then you would subtract 6 from the left and right side leaving you with : 15 = 4r
Then you would divide by four on each side leaving you with
3.75 = r.
Then to check and see the mothers age you would plug the solution for r into the problem.
21 + 3.75 = (5 X 3.75) +6
The answer for the right side is 24.75 and the answer for the left is also 24.75, meaning they equal each other and that 24.75 is the mothers age.
What now!?

wow tough one, can you email me the answer? maths_green_scout@yahoo.co.uk I think the answer is :-
Let raju age be x, therefore shilpa age ll b x+21
6 yrs down de road
(x+21)+6 = 5(x+21)
therefore raju age = - 3/4
so biologically speaking raju is juz a sperm at dat pt of time, n his dad is prob riding shilpa in bed or b) in sum artificial insemenation clinic..........=)
