Answer 2

Given :

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

The sum of the age of all the three is 135 years.

To Find :

Age of Baichung , his father and his grandfather .

Solution :

$\longmapsto\tt{Let\:Age\:of\:Grandfather\:be=x}$

As Given that Baichung 's father is 26 years younger than Baichung's grandfather and 29 year older than Baichung .So ,

$\longmapsto\tt{Age\:of\:Baichung's\:Father=x-26}$

$\longmapsto\tt{Age\:of\:Baichung=x-26-29=x-55}$

A.T.Q :

$\longmapsto\tt{x+x-26+x-55=135}$

$\longmapsto\tt{3x-81=135}$

$\longmapsto\tt{3x=135+81}$

$\longmapsto\tt{3x=216}$

$\longmapsto\tt{x=\cancel\dfrac{216}{3}}$

$\purple\longmapsto\:\large\underline{\boxed{\bf\red{x}\pink{=}\red{72}}}$

Value of x is 72 .

Therefore :

$\longmapsto\tt{Age\:of\:his\:Grandfather=x}$

$\longmapsto\tt\bf{72\:yrs}$

$\longmapsto\tt{Age\:of\:his\:Father=72-26}$

$\longmapsto\tt\bf{46\:yrs}$

$\longmapsto\tt{Age\:of\:Baichung=72-55}$

$\longmapsto\tt\bf{17\:yrs}$
