(i) I have left a very important casket in my closet, can you please bring if for me?

(iii) Yeah, I do understand that. To me, yes it is impossible, can you try for my sake please. 

(iv) One person cannot do that, we may have to work as a team.

(i) 25

(ii) 49

(i) A = {0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9},

(ii) B = {2, 3, 7, 8}

It is clear from the table that

(i) A one digit number may between 1 and 9, whose square are 1 and 81.
so the number of digits may be either 1 or 2.

(ii) Two digits numbers may be between 1 and 99 whose squares are 100 and 9801. So the number of digits may be 3 or 4.

(iii) Similarly 3 digits numbers are between 100 and 999 whose square 10000 and 998001. Therefore square of any three digit number may be in 5 or 6 digits.

If unit place digit of a number is as 2, 3 7 or 8 then number can not be a perfect square.

So (ii) 402 (iii) 3003 and (v) 1008 are not perfect square.

The correct option is (C) 6.

(i) 18 = (18)² = 18 × 18 = 324

(ii) 11 = (11)² = 11 × 11 = 121

(iii) 107 = (107)² = 107 × 107 = 11449

(iv) 15 = (15)² = 15 × 15 = 225

(v) 200 = (200)² = 200 × 200 = 40000

(vi) 27 = (27)² = 27 × 27 = 729

11111² = 123454321

111111² = 12345654321

Area of square field = 361 m²

∴ Side of square field = \(\sqrt {361}\) = 19 m

∴ Required length of wire = 4 x side = 4 x 19 = 76 m

Role of Newspapers in Cultural Awakening and Freedom Movement During the British period, Social reformers began actively campaigning for radical changes in the society. The reformation of Hinduism, the move for abolition of ‘Sat! and efforts to encourage widow re-marriage were some of the major reforms. Inspired by these great leaders, many newspapers were started in different parts of the country.

Many freedom fighters of Indian Independence were the editors of newspapers. Amrit Bazar Patrika (started in 1868) was edited by Sisir Kumar Ghosh, Bengalee (started in 1833) was edited by Surendranadh Banerjee, ‘The Hindu’ (started in 1878) was edited by G. Subramaniya Iyer, ‘Kesari’ (started in 1881) was edited by Balagangadhara Tilak.

The editors expressed their views through these newspapers. These papers played a prominent role in arousing national consciousness among Indians. The Krishna Patrika was edited by Mutnuri Krishna Rao. Nilagiripathrika, edited by S.V. Narasimha Rao of Nalgonda. Tenugu pathrika by Vaddiraju brothers from Inugurthi in Warangal. Golkonda, edited by Suravaram Pratapa Reddy. Urdu magazine Rayyat, edited by Mandumula Narasing Rao, Mahatma Gandhi wrote profusely. He took over the ‘Young India’ in 1918 and started another journal ‘Navjeevan’ in Gujarati. He wrote extensively in ‘Harijan’ under the editorship of Mahadev Desai.

Thus the newspapers played an important role in Freedom movement.
