Let the present age of the Son be - x

then,

present age of Mother will be - 2x

Now, 20 years ago, their ages wil be 20 years less., i.e

Mother - (2x-20) & Son - (x - 20)

Then, according to given condition, Mother was 10 times the age of son, so the equation becomes :-

(2x - 20) = 10(x - 20)

(2x - 20) = (10x - 200)

8x = 180

x = 180/8

x = 22.5 (This is the age if Son)

And Mother is twice as old as her son,

So, Mothers age will be - 2X

i.e., 2 * 22.5 = 45

Hence, Mother is 45 years old !!
