1. Answer ：‒

   6 years, 60 years.

   Step – by step – explantion:–

   Present age of Grand daughter be ➙ y

   Grand father age ➙ 10y

   10y – y ➙ 54

   9y ➙ 54

   y ➙ 54 ÷ 9

   y ➙ 6

   So, Grand daughter age ➙ 6 years

   Grand father age ➙ 10 × 6 ➙ 60 years.

2. let granddaughter’s age be x.

   hence,

   grandfather’s age = 10x

   also given that,

   10x = 54 + x

   10x – x = 54

   9x = 54

   x = 54/9

   x = 6

   Therefore, granddaughter’s age = 6 yrs

   grandfather’s age = 10(6) = 60 yrs

   Hope this helps!!
