Question

Baichungs father is 26 years younger than baichungs grandfather and 29 years older than baichung . The sum of the ages of all the three is 135 years . What is the age of each one of them.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Baichungs Father be x

Then

The age of Baichung is x-29

And

Baichungs grandfather age will be x+26

Now

x+26+x+x-29=135

3x+3=135

3x=135-3=132

So

x=44years

Hence

Baichungs father is 44years old

Baichungs age is 15years

Baichungs grandfather age is 70years

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
