Let baichjngs age be x
Father is 29+x
Grandfather is 26+29+x
So
X+29+x+26+29+x=135
2x=135-29-29-26
2x=51
Father is 29+x
Grandfather is 26+29+x
So
X+29+x+26+29+x=135
2x=135-29-29-26
2x=51

hey!!!
according to the question, baichung's father is 26 yrs younger than baichung's grandfather and 29 yrs older than baichung.
let baichung's age be x.
therefore her father's age will be x + 29 and her grandfather's age will be x + 29 + 26
sum of their is given = 135 yrs
>> ( x ) + ( x + 29 ) + ( x + 29 + 26 ) = 135 yrs
>> 3x + 84 = 135 yrs
>> 3x = 135 - 84
>> 3x = 51
>> x = 51/3
>> x = 17
hence, baichung's age = x = 17 yrs
her father's age = x + 29 = 17 + 29 = 46 yrs
her grandfather's age = x + 29 + 26 = 72 yrs
cheers!!!
