Current Son's Age is 37 and Father's age is 73

One year ago Son was 36 and father was 72. Father was twice the age of son 36*2=72

Let us solve it by trial and error
1 scenario father´s age = 63 son´s age = 36
one year ago father was 62 and son 35 ratio = 62 / 35 = 1,77
2 scenario father´s age = 53 son´s age = 35
one year ago father was 52 and son 34 ratio = 52 / 34 = 1,53
3 scenario father´s age = 73 son´s age = 37
one year ago father was 72 and son was 36 ratio = 72 / 36 = 2

Current ages are 73 and 37

CURRENT AGES:
FATHER'S AGE =73
SON'S AGE =37
Reversing the digits of father's age we get son's age =73 REVERSE WE GET 37
One year ago father was twice in age of that of his son: 36* 2=72
37 -1=36
73-1 =72
