Detailed Solution

The tenure of a member of Rajya Sabha is 6 years.  A member of the Lok Sabha has a one-year shorter term than a member of the Rajya Sabha. Additionally, one-third of the Rajya Sabha's members retire every two years. Therefore the general term must be three times as long as that. The exact term of office for members of the Rajya Sabha is six years. It is the period a member serves, barring resignation or dismissal. However, the tenure for Rajya Sabha members is six years, and a third of them leave the office every two years.
