Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To find Sarita's grandfather's age based on Sarita's present age, we can follow these steps: 1. **Define Sarita's Age**: Let Sarita's present age be represented by the variable \( y \) years. 2. **Determine Grandfather's Age**: According to the problem, Sarita's grandfather is 6 times her age. Therefore, we can express her grandfather's age as: \[ \text{Grandfather's Age} = 6 \times \text{Sarita's Age} \] 3. **Substitute Sarita's Age**: Since Sarita's age is \( y \), we substitute \( y \) into the equation: \[ \text{Grandfather's Age} = 6 \times y \] 4. **Final Expression**: Thus, Sarita's grandfather's age can be expressed as: \[ \text{Grandfather's Age} = 6y \text{ years} \] ### Summary: - Sarita's present age = \( y \) years - Grandfather's age = \( 6y \) years
