Explanation:

Let the present age of the son is ‘x’ years.
So at the birth of the so, Father’s age was ‘x’ years. And at that time son’s age was ‘0’.
Now the son is x years old. That means ‘x’ years have passed.
So from that time to now, Father also have grown by ‘x’ years.
So The present ages of son and father respectively are ‘x’ and ‘2x’ years.
And It is given that 2x = 38
x = 19 (Son’s age at present).
So his Age 5 years back was = 19 – 5 = 14 Years
