Let the present age's of mother be 'M' and that of her son be 'S'.

According to the given data in the question,

M - 5 = 3(S - 5)

F - 3S = -10  ...............(1)

Then given ,

M + 5 : S + 5 = 11 : 5 

=> 5M - 11S = 30 ..............(2)

From (1) & (2), we get

S = 20

Then by substituting S = 20 in (1) or (2), we get

M = 50.

Hence, the present age of mother is M = 50 years.
