Let R be the age of Ritika and M be the age of her Mother.

Given R + 26 = M   --- (1)

In 9 years her mother will be twice as old as Ritika.

(M + 9) * 2 = R + 9

M = R + 9    ---- (2)

Solve (1) and (2), we get 

M = 17 years.

Substitute M in (1), we get

R = 17 + 26 = 43 years.


Hope this helps!  :)
