Question

Monu's father is 26 years younger than Monu's grandfather and 29 years older than Monu. The sum of the ages of all the three is 135 years. What is the age of each one of them?

Answer 1

Let the age of Monu’s father be x years

According to the question

Age of Monu = x – 29 years

And age of Monu’s grandfather = x + 26

Adding all of these,

x + x - 29 + x + 26 = 135

⇒ 3x = 135 + 3

\(\Rightarrow \text{x}=\frac{138}{3}=46\)

So, Monu' s father is 46 Years

and Monu is 46 - 29 = 17 years

Monu’s grandfather is 46 + 26 = 72 years
