a man is four times older than his wife and five times as old as his son. when the son was born, the age of the wife is six-seventh that of her husband's age. find the age of his wife?
:
This problem is nonsense, 4 times his wife's age and 5 times his son's age is a
physical impossibility, for example if the man was 80, wife is 20, son is 16 ??
The last statement is even more ridiculous .
Whoever inflicted this on you should be be publicly flogged
