A father said to this 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 year's back was :

  • A. 14
  • B. 14
  • C. 14
  • D. 14

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let, sons present age = x years

So, son is born x year ago

Then father age was x years

So, fathers present age (x + x) or 2x years

2x = 38

x = 19

5 years back in was (19 - 5) = 14 years
