Answer:
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 !!
