Let the age of Baichung’s father = m year

Since, Baichung’s father is 26 year younger than Baichung’s grand father

Therefore, Age of Baichung’s grandfather = Age of Baichung’s father + 26 = m + 26 year

Since, Baichung’s father is 29 year older than Baichung

Therefore, Age of Baichung = Age of Baichung’s father – 29 = m – 29 year

Now, we have

Age of Baichung = m – 29 year

Age of Baichung’s father = m year

Age of Bahichung’s grandfather = m + 26 year

According to question, the sum of ages of all the three = 135 year

Therefore,

Age of Baichung + Age of Baichung’s father + Age of Baichung’s grandfather = 135

⇒ (m – 29) + m + (m + 26) = 135 year

⇒ m – 29 + m + m + 26 = 135 year

⇒ m + m + m – 29 + 26 = 135 year

⇒ 3m – 3 = 135 year

After transposing – 3 to the RHS, we get

3m = 135 year + 3

⇒ 3m = 138 year

After dividing both sides by 3, we get

This means age of Baichung’s father = 46 year

Now, by substituting the value of m, we can calculate the age of Baichung and the age of Baichun’s grandfather.

Therefore,

Age of Baichung = m – 29 = 46 – 29 = 17 year

Age of Baichung’s grandfather = m + 26 = 46 + 26 = 72 year

Thus,

Age of Baichung = 17 year

Age of Baichung’s father = 46 year

Age of Baichung’s grandfather = 72 year

Answer 2

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
