Given:

Baichung\'s Father is 26 years younger than Baichung\'s Grandfather and 29 years older than Baichung.

The sum of the ages of all the three is 135.

To do :

We have to find the ages of each of them.

Solution :

Let the age of Baichung be $x$ and the age of the grandfather be $y$.

This implies,

Age of Baichung\'s father $= x+29 = y-26$

$y = x+29+26 = x+55$

The sum of the ages of all the three $= 135$

$x+(x+29)+y = 135$

$x+x+29+x+55 = 135$

$3x+84 = 135$

$3x = 135-84$

$3x = 51$

$x = \frac{51}{3}$

$x = 17$

$x+29 = 17+29=46$

$y = x+55 = 17+55=72$

The age of Baichung is 17 years.

The age of Baichung\'s father is  46 years.

The age of Baichung\'s Grandfather is 72 years.
