Question

In the 1950's, a young woman sued film star Charlie Chaplin for parental support of her illegitimate child. Charlie Chaplin's blood type was already on record as type AB. The mother of the child had type A and her son had O blood. Is the child Charlie Chaplin's? I said No. I am right, if not why?

Answer 2

You are wrong because there is no way Charlie Chaplin fathered the child in question because he doesn’t have a
