Let the son's present age be x years. Then, (38 - x) = x
2x = 38.
x = 19.
Son's age 5 years back (19 - 5) = 14 years.

It is given that fathers present age is 38
now Let the present age of son is x
and hence x+x=38.
x=19
and age 5yrs back will be 19-5=14
hence the answer is 14yrs

assume after z years later father age becomes 38 year
father son
x 0 (at the time of birth)

x+z = 38 x (this x value has taken from given condition)

x+z = 38,0+z = x
so 2x = 38.............x = 19
19-5(because we need to find age of five year back)..................14
