Let baichungs age be x
Age of his father =x+29
Age of his grandfather =(x+29)+26
ATQ,x+(x+29)+{(x+29)+26}=135
= 3x+29+29+26=135
=3x+84=135
=x=(135-84)/3
=17

Let the age of baichung be b years
his father's age is f
grandfather's age is g
A/q
f+26 =g___(1)
f-29 = b___(2)
adding (1) and (2).
b+g = 2f -3___(3)
and b+f+g = 135___(4)
substituting the value of (3) in (4)
f+2f-3 = 135
⇒3f = 138
⇒f =46 years
then g= f+26 = 46+26 = 72 years
and b = f-29 = 46 -29 =17 years
his father's age is f
grandfather's age is g
A/q
f+26 =g___(1)
f-29 = b___(2)
adding (1) and (2).
b+g = 2f -3___(3)
and b+f+g = 135___(4)
substituting the value of (3) in (4)
f+2f-3 = 135
⇒3f = 138
⇒f =46 years
then g= f+26 = 46+26 = 72 years
and b = f-29 = 46 -29 =17 years
