Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let Baichung`'`s age in years `= x`
Then, Baichung`'`s father age in years `= x+29`
Baichung`'`s grandfather age in years ` = x+29+26 = x+55`
So, `x+x+29+x+55 = 135`
`=>3x+84 = 135=> 3x = 51=> x= 17`
So, Age of Baichung ` = 17` years
Age of his father ` = 17+29 = 46` years
Age of his grandfather ` = 46+26 = 72` years
