Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Let BASIT'S age be x years. Then, BASIT'S father's age =(x+29) years

Basits grandmothers age =[(x+29)+26) years =(x+55) years

According to the given condition, we have

x+(x+29)+(x+55)=135

⇒3x+84=135

⇒3x=135−84

⇒3x=51

⇒x=

3

51

=17

∴ Basits age is 17 years, his father's age is 46 years and his grandmother's age is 72 .
