The "possible" ages? There is only one possibility with the given information -- unless you care which grandparent is older.
Subtract 11 from the age of the older; that makes their two ages the same, with the sum of the two ages 135-11=124. So each of their ages is 124/2=62. Now add those 11 years to took off back on to find their ages are 62 and 73.
