Hi there!
Here's the answer:


•°•°•°•°•°•<><><<><>><><>°•°•°•°•°•

{ Father said his son, "i was as old as you are at present at the time of your birth." }


Given,
Fathers present age = 38
Let son's present age= x

At birth time of son,
When Son's age = 0
Father's age = x
( °•° Father's age at the time of his son birth = Son's present age)

Father's present age - Son's age = Father's age at the time of Son's birth.

=> (38 - x ) = x
=> 2 x = 38.
=> x = 19.

•°• Son's present age = 19 years.

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