Let Baichung’s age be x years, then Baichung’s father’s age = (x+29) years and
Baichung’s granddaughter’s age = (x+29+26) = (x+55) years.
According to condition, x+x+29+x+55=135
⇒ 3x+84=135
⇒ 3x+84-84=135-84 [Subtracting 84 from both sides]
⇒ 3x=51
⇒ 3x/3=51/3 [Dividing both sides by 3]
⇒ x=17 years
Hence, Baichung’s age = 17 years, Baichung’s father’s age = 17 + 29 = 46 years and
Baichung’s granddaughter’s age = 17 + 29 + 26 = 72 years.
