The total cost of six books, five pencils and seven sharpeners is Rs. 115 and that of eight books, ten pencils and fourteen sharpeners is Rs. 190. Then which of the following article’s cost can be found uniquely A) Pencil B) Book C) Sharpener D) Cannot say |
|
Answer» Correct option is (B) Book Let the cost of 1 book, 1 pencil and 1 sharpener is Rs. x, y & z respectively. \(\therefore\) According to given conditions 6x + 5y + 7z = 115 _________(1) and 8x + 10y + 14z = 190 _________(2) Multiply equation (1) by 2, we get 12x + 10y + 14z = 230 _________(3) Subtract equation (2) from (3), we get 4x = 230 - 190 = 40 \(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac{40}4\) = 10 which is cost of 1 book. From (2) given equations we can found only the value of x, because after substituting the value of x, we get two equations which are coincide. Therefore, we can not found the value of y & z. Hence, only book's cost can be found uniquely. Correct option is B) Book |

A soft drink is available in two packs- (i) a tin can with a rectangular base of length 5 cm and width 4 cm, having a height of 15 cm and (ii) a plastic cylinder with circular base of diameter 7 cm and height 10 cm, Which container has greater capacity and by how much? |
|
Answer» (i) Dimensions of a cubical tin can: Length (l) = 5 cm Breadth (b) = 4 cm Height (h) = 15 cm Capacity of the tin can = Volume of Tin Can = l x b x h cubic units = (5 x 4 x 15) cm3 = 300 cm3 (ii) Radius of the circular end of the plastic cylinder (R) = diametr/2 = 7/2 cm = 3.5 cm Height of plastic cylinder (H) = 10 cm Capacity of plastic cylinder = Volume of cylindrical container = πR2H = 22/7 x (3.5)2 x 10 cm3 = 385 cm3 From (i) and (ii) results, the plastic cylinder has greater capacity. Difference in capacity = (385 – 300) cm3 = 85 cm3 |

List one reason why learning the alphabet was so important to women like Rashsundari Devi, Ramabai and Rokeya. |
|
Answer» Learning the alphabet was important to women like Rashundari Devi, Ramabai and Rokeya because women were forbidden education as it was considered dangerous for their moral development and family life. By learning how to read and write, these women achieved a degree of independence. Through her own writing, Rashsundari Devi gave the world an opportunity to read about women’s lives in those days. Ramabai set up a Mission in Khedgaon near Pune in 1898, where widows and poor women were encouraged not only to become literate but to be independent. Rokeya started a school for girls in Kolkata in 1910. |
