Q.

A father said to his son, "I was as old as you are at present at the time of your birth." If the father's age is 38 years now, the son's age five years back was ?                         [Bank P.O 1994]
A. 14 Years B. 19 Years
C. 33 Years D. 38 Years

Answer: Option A
Explaination:

 


Let the son's present age be x years.


Then (38-x)=x

2x=38

x=19.

Therefore son's age 5 years back =(19-5) years

= 14 Years.
