A father told his son, “I was as old as you are now at the time of your birth.” If the father’s present age is 38 years, find the son’s age 5 years ago.

A. 12 years
B. 14 years ✅
C. 16 years
D. 18 years

Explanation

  • Let son's present age = s
  • Father's age at son's birth = 38 - s
  • Given: 38 - s = s
  • 38 = 2s => s = 19
  • Son's age 5 years ago = 19 - 5 = 14 years
