Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say , present age of the son is X

Then when his son was born father was X year's old.

So father’s present age is X+X =2X

According to question,

2X=38

i.e X = 19

Therefore present age of the Son is 19.

But you want to know what was the age 5 years back.

So it is 19 - 5 = 14.
