Let the age of Baichung be x years.

Then according to question age of Baichung's father = x + 29 years

and age of Baichung's grandfather = x + 29 + 26 years

The sum of their ages is given 135 years. According to that, x + x + 29 + x + 29 + 26 = 135 

 3x + 84 = 135

Transposing 81 on the RHS we get,            

3x = 135 - 84 = 51

Dividing both sides by 3 

 x =\frac{51}{3} = 17

Thus, the age of Baichung = 17 years

The age of Baichung's father = 17 + 29 = 46 years

The age of Baichung's grandfather = 46 + 26 = 72 years
