Let the son's age be x
Then the father's age will be, x + 27
According to the question...
After 10 years
x + 27 + 10 = 2(x + 10)
x + 37 = 2x + 20
2x - x = 37 - 20
x = 17.
Present ages,
Son's age = x = 17 years
Father's age = x + 27 = 17 + 27 = 44
Son's Present age = 17 years
Father's present age = 44 years

Suppose the son's age is p
Father's age will = p + 27
p + 27 + 10 = 2(p + 10)
p + 37 = 2p + 20
2p - p = 37 - 20
Father's age = p + 27
Present age of son = 17 years
Present age Father = 44 years
