The number of ways to travel from A to B is 10 ways. The number of ways to return from B to A in a different route is 9 ways. 

∴ The total number of ways = 10 × 9 = 90 ways.

The man can go from X to Y in 10 ways and as he is not to return by the same bus that he took while going, corresponding to each of the 10 ways of going, there are 9 ways of returning. Hence the total number of ways in which he can go to Y and be back is 10 × 9 = 90.

When Paul and uncle Oscar decide to gift the 5,000 pounds to Hester, by giving her 1,000 pounds on each birthday. She becomes eager and asks the lawyer if she could have all the 5,000 pounds in once. Then the son decides to give them away to her mother in once so that she is free of the debt and said that he could make more with the left amount. The uncle doubted and tried to caution the lad by telling him that is wise to not give what you have with you right now for the possibility. However, Paul was sure to know of one of the three upcoming races he assured and so gave the money to his mother gladly.

The Emperor is fond of wearing new clothes.

The Chief Adviser said to Emperor that the two weavers have found a secret way of weaving the finest silk cloth and making the most beautiful clothes and they were magic tailors too.

The two weavers explained about the magic way. The silk cloth is finely woven with many rich colors and attractive patterns. That type of dresses can be worn by only the great emperors like him.

c. wise men fit for their jobs

There are many who believe luck is important and one may find many such who believe in hard work. It is not though that those who believe in luck do not work hard. It is just that they believe in “do your best and God will do the rest However, there are those who completely blame their fate for everything and do not do anything to change or improve it. Still there are people that believe that hard work is greater than luck and that it has the power to change the destiny. One may find various beliefs around them and it depends on what they chose to believe in.

The weavers required a large quantity of finest silk, the purest gold thread and several jewels before starting their work.

Everyone pretended that they could see the cloth because the weavers had said that fools could not see their cloth and so they did not want to be considered fools.

Paul was a child that was doomed. There had to be some signs, indications to his disintegrating health, implying his mental situation. He was possibly an autistic child who needed more than general attention and care from his family. He heard the house whispering to him all the time that there must be more money. The child was possibly schizophrenic as well for he was hearing sounds that did not exist. And he was oedipal for sure. All these were already leading him to the inevitable, however, the child had no knowledge to what was happening to him. He tried and tried to earn for his mothers sake. He wanted to prove that he is lucky to earn and deserving of her love. And he did earn in Derby 80,000 pounds by predicting that Malabar would win through his clairvoyance. However, it deteriorated his health so much that he died in few days afterwards.

The cricket has spent the entire summer season by singing, dancing and merry-making. It has left the cricket bereft of food at the onset of winter. Now he is hungry and has no grain to eat and no shelter to save himself from dripping rain. This makes I him complain.

The rocking-horse is one of the three symbols present in the story that Lawrence has dealt with throughout the story. The horse is symbolic of the victory that Paul achieves at last. The materialistic gain and the importance of money over love. The whispering that haunts Paul that “there must be more money and the rocking-horse are interrelated. The want of money to achieve the love of mother that he never had, he goes on betting and earning more and more, thus, proving his luck. The boy when asked his mother for what is luck, she explained him that luck is what brings one money. The boy is disheartened to know that his father has no luck and so will not make money. He is sad at the implication that he will never have his mother's love who is all consumed by indebtedness. The boy, autistic as he is, with some clairvoyance rides his horse harder and ferociously till he “gets there It shows his desperation to physically win his mother's love by winning the race and thus earning more money, as “there must be more money Post the ride, Paul will stand facing the horse with his legs apart and he would look at the bent head of the horse and its shining eyes. These interpret just one thing, the determination, the wanting, the longing for money. It is about success,money, love and most importantly, winning. And Paul gets it all, he wins and gets her mother the money through his triumphs in races. And he even found her love as she grew too concerned about her son's obsession with the races that eventually killed him.

It would be totally unfair to call Hester that harsh a lady for she did care about her children after all,however, she gave importance to materialistic gains. When she realised her sons obsession with the racing horses, she asked Bassett the gardener to keep Paul away from Oscar so it did not affect her son's health. She realised that the obsession was proving to be neurotic for her son and she wanted her son to be healthy and for that she risked her relation with her dear brother.

As it can be implied from the story, The Rocking-horse Winner, Paul was an autistic child who also suffered Oedipus-complex. The story pictures a very young Paul who is at the threshold of teenage and is very eager to fight the sounds that keep whispering in his house that “there must be more money He was desperate to bring happiness to his mother through money and desired to replace his father in her life. As Paul grew impatient and betted on racing horses to earn money by means of gambling. Hester, realised that her son was indulging too much in horse racing and asked the gardener and her brother to keep him away from it. She realised how tensed Paul had grown. Yet she knew not that the worry that had been eating and consuming him up was of his mother. 

Eager to win, Paul lost, and lost again. It was before Derby, he grew worried to earn for his mother and prove his luck to her. She was worried so much that she left the party in the middle to return to her son to see him safe and healthy. However, it was the last time she saw her son in senses.

(B) reaction proceeds with fall in temperature

Mixing of solid barium hydroxide [Ba(OH)2] and solid ammonium chloride [NH₄Cl] in a ratio of 2 : 1 by weight at room temperature in a test tube sets an endothermic reaction and it proceeds by absorbing energy from the surrounding. Thus, there is a fall in temperature and especially the bottom of the test tube becomes cold.

The correct option is (b) (ii) and (iii) 

• Slaking, the process of turning the traditional building material lime from calcium oxide (burnt lime or quicklime) into calcium hydroxide (slaked lime, slack lime, limewater, pickling lime or hydrated lime).
• Its exothermic process and as calcium hydroxide is basic so pH will be greater than 7.

(B) (ii) and (iii)

Slaking of lime is accompanied by liberation of heat, hence it is an exothermic reaction. Calcium hydroxide is an alkali and its aqueous solution (i.e., lime water) turns red litmus blue. Thus, the pH of the solution will be more than seven.

Every day begins with a new source of enthusiasm. But the moment we begin our work we are first reminded of the list of pending work on hand. This creates stress in our mind. This thought imperils the ability to work. It reduces productivity. It reduces accuracy in the work we are doing. We become lethargic and want to take help of others.

That means we become dependent on others. It affects us physically and emotionally. Irritation develops as a result. We are unable to deal patientiy with others. Our thinking is mistified and routine work is disturbed. The present work also gradually becomes a part of the pending list.
