Question

Baichung's father is 26 years younger than Baichung's grandfather and 29 years older than Baichung. The sum of the ages of all the three is 135. What is the age of each one of them?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the age of Baichung age be x years

therefore age of his father will be x+29 years

and his grandfather's age will be x+29+26 years

Step-by-step explanation:

now acc. to ques.

x+x+29+x+29+26=135

3x+84=135

3x=135-84

3x=51

x=17 years

Therefore the age of Baichung will be 17 years.

Age of his father will be x+29=17+29=46 years.

and age of his grandfather will be x+29+26= 72 years

Answer 2

Given :-

• Baichung's father is 26 years younger than Baichung's grandfather and 29 years older than Baichung.

• The sum of the ages of all the three is 135.

To Find :-

• What is the age of each one of them?

Solution :-

Let the age of Baichung's father be x years.

According to the question :-

Given that,

Baichung's father is 26 years younger than Baichung's grandfather and 29 years older than Baichung.

Therefore,

Age of Baichung's grandfather will be

= ( x + 26) years

Age of Baichung will be = (x -29) years

Again,

According to the question :-

Given that,

The sum of the ages of all the three is 135.

x -29 + x +26 + x = 135

⟼ 3x - 3 = 135

⟼ 3x = 138

$⟼x = 46$

Hence,

Age of Baichung's father is = 46 years

Substituting the value of x, we get

Age of Baichung's grandfather is = x +26 = 72 years.

Age of Baichung is = x - 29 = 17 years.
