Question

Sam's father is 26 years younger than sam and he is 29 years older than his grandfather. The sum of age's of all three is 135 years. Find the age of each of them?

Answer 1

Let's assume x, y & z to be sams, sams father and sams grandfather's age respectively

y=x+26
z=y+29=x+26+29=x+55

Also, x+y+z=135

putting the values of y and z from above we get x=18 y=44 & z=73

Answer 2

Let a = Sam.,
b = Sam's Father.,
c = Sam's Grandfather.

b = a + 26
c = b + 29 = a + 26 + 29 = a + 55.

Also, a + b + c = 135.

∴ It Will Be a = 18, b = 44, c = 73.
