Let the age of Baichung’s father be x.
Then, the age of Baichung’s grandfather = (x+26)
and, Age of Baichung = (x-29)
According to the question,
x + (x+26) + (x-29) = 135
⇒ 3x + 26 – 29 = 135
⇒ 3x – 3 = 135
⇒ 3x = 135 + 3
⇒ 3x = 138
⇒ x = 138/3
⇒ x = 46
Age of Baichung’s father = x = 46
Age of Baichung’s grandfather = (x+26) = 46 + 26 = 72
Age of Baichung = (x-29) = 46 – 29 = 17
