It is a TOTAL and ABSOLUTE disharmony with COMMON SENSE to read what you write in your post
" . . . A woman is currently 21 years older than her daughter."
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
In such "age problems", it is assumed (dictated by the common sense)
that if one person is "N years" older than the other person,
then it is TRUE forever until these persons are alive.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
How you write your post, it shows WITHOUT ANY WORDS that you (or the "sourse" of this problem)
are unfamiliar with the subject ("age word problems", in this case).
