Question

Baichung&#x2019;s father is 26 years younger than Baichung&#x2019;s 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?

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Let Baichung’s father age is x. Therefore, Baichung's age is x-29 and his grandfather age is x+26

Now, x + x+ 26 + x- 29 = 135

3x -3 = 135

3x = 138

x = 138/3 = 46

So, Baichung's Father Age = 46 years

Baichung's Age = 46 - 29 = 17 years

Baichung's grandfather Age = 46 + 26 = 72 years
