    Before we could discuss this in any specific detail, I think we would have to

    know the angles. A generic discussion without actual numbers for the angles

    would be just plain too confusing.

    The general approach is that the vertical components of both tensions

    add up to 20N, and the horizontal components are equal but in opposite

    directions. That's the only way that the mass is hanging motionless.

    You have to find the horizontal and vertical components of the tensions

    by using the angles and maybe the lengths of the ropes.
