Detailed Solution

Let the age of Baichung be x years.

Age of Baichung’s father = x + 29

Age of Baichung’s grandfather = Age of Baichung's father + 26 = x + 29 + 26 = x + 55

The Sum of the ages of all three is 135 years (Given)

Baichung's age + Baichung's father's age + Baichung's grandfather's age = 135

⇒ x + (x + 29) + (x + 55) = 135

⇒ 3x + 84 = 135

⇒ 3x = 135 - 84

⇒ 3x = 51

⇒ x = 51/3

⇒ x = 17

Thus, we get the ages of each of them as

Age of Baichung = 17 years

Age of Baichung’s father = x + 29 = 17 + 29 = 46 years

Age of Baichung’s grandfather = x + 55 = 17 + 55 = 72 years
