A father said to his son I was as old as you are at the present at the time

1. A father said to his son, "I was as old as you are at the present at the time of your birth". If the father's age is 38 years now, the son's age five years back was:

1. A. 14 years
2. B. 19 years
3. C. 33 years
4. D. 38 years

1. Answer & Explanation:

   Suppose the son's current age is x years. Then, (38 - x) = x

   ⇒  2x = 38.

    ⇒ x = 19.

    Son's age 5 years back (19 - 5) = 14 years
