Question

Kripa’s father is 35 years younger than her grandfather, and 40 years older than her. If the sum of the ages of the three is 160 years, let’s find her grandfather’s age?

Answer 1

Answer:

• 90 years

Step-by-step explanation:

x + x + 40 + x + 75 = 160

=> 3x = 160 - 115

=> x = 45/3 = 15

Grandfather's age = x + 75 = 90 years

Answer 2

Answer:

90 years

Step-by-step explanation:

if Kripa's age = x

Father's age = x + 40

Grandfather's age = (x + 40) + 35 = x + 75 (father is 35 years younger than grandfather i.e. grandfather is 35 years older than father)

x + x + 40 + x + 75 = 160

=> 3x = 160 - 115

=> x = 45/3 = 15

grandfather's age = x + 75 = 90 years
