a woman is 5 years younger than her husband and 3 times as old as her daughter .if the daughter attain 21 years of age after 6 years what is the present age of husband

let woman,s age be 3x now
husband,s age is 3x+5
daughter's age = x
after 6 years daughter is 21
x+6=21
x=21-6=15
mothers age = 3 *15=45
husband's age = 45+5 = 50 years now
