In olden days, knights were bold. They used to ride on their horses with a sword ora lance in armour. During their age of chivalry, knights fought their opponents for a righteous cause and gained considerable applause. Knights regarded themselves as being worthy of capturing the hearts of some fair lady, which was the most desired prize. They would strike heavy blows on all their opponents, as the crowds watched them in suspense. They were held in high esteem by the people.

The crowds watch them with abated breath.

Knights strike heavy blows on all their opponents and foes.

Mostly by ship and sometimes by ferry. Because in a big ship, we will be safe and happy and can get what we want. Besides, we can watch dolphins moving along the ship. We can also see coral reefs, beautiful fishes of different colours and sea turtles through glass bottomed boats.

The writer saw many interesting things on the ship. But, the most interesting thing that surprised him was that some people were sitting in a saloon getting their hair cut. It was interesting because he felt it strange to observe such thing on the ship.

I agree with this view. It’s because each of the islands is very small. Only 37 islands of the total 600 islands are inhabited. Like in India, these islands have people of different languages, cultures and faiths. Yet they live happily together. They are the very small copies of India. So they are called miniature India.

An Adventure is an unusual, exciting and daring deed.

I couldn’t walk in the streets well. I couldn’t live in a house. I couldn’t get enough food.

No, this is because when the cabin is moving with uniform velocity, there will be no net unbalanced force.

a) Old partnership has to be dissolved.

Correct answer is ii) Reconstitution

Average profit = 60000 

Remuneration to partner = 15000 

Average actual profit = 60000 – 15000 = 45000 

Normal profit = Capital employed x Normal rate of Return = 500000×8/100 = 40000 

Super profit = Average Actual profit – Normal Profit = 45000 – 40000 = 5000 

Goodwill = Super profit x No. of years purchase = 5000×3 = 15000

b – Change in location of business

i) Vimal’s Capital A/c Dr 12,000 

Plant and machinery A/c 10,000 

Revaluation A/c 2,000

d) Dissolution of firm

The given equations are

 \(\frac{x}a+\frac{y}b=a + b\)......(i)

\(\frac{x}{a^2}+\frac{y}{b^2}=2\).....(ii)

Multiplying (i) by b and (ii) by b² and subtracting, we get 

bx/a - b²x/a² = ab + b² - 2b² 

⇒ ab− b^2/a² x = ab - b² 

⇒x = (ab− b²)a²/ab −b² = a² 

Now, substituting x = a² in (i) we get 

a²/a + y/b = a + b 

⇒ y/b = a + b – a = b 

⇒y = b² 

Hence, x = a² and y = b² .

The given equations are 

x + y = a + b …….(i) 

ax – by = a² – b² ……..(ii) 

Multiplying (i) by b and adding it with (ii), we get 

bx + ax = ab + b² + a² – b² 

⇒ x = ab+ a²/a+b = a 

Substituting x = a in (i), we have 

a + y = a + b 

⇒ y = b 

Hence, x = a and y = b.

 The given equations can be written as

\(\frac{3}x+\frac{6}y=7\)...........(i)

\(\frac{9}x+\frac{3}y=11\)......(ii)

Multiplying (i) by 3 and subtracting (ii) from it, we get 

18/y - 3/y = 21 – 11 

⇒ 15/y = 10 

⇒ y = 15/10 = 3/2 

Substituting y = 3/2 in (i), we have 

3/x + 6×2/3 = 7 

⇒ 3/x = 7 – 4 = 3 

Hence, x = 1 and y = 3/2.

Correct option is A) Grease

Reshma prepared Mitra’s bed with grass.

It is difficult for Mitra to make new friends because he is lame.

Speed = distance covered/time taken

⇒ distance = Speed × time 

⇒ d = 500 × t [ ∵ time = t hrs] 

⇒ d = 500 t

f(x) = 3 – 2x 

f(x²) = 3 – 2 (x²) 

= 3 – 2x² 

(f(x))² = (3 – 2x)² 

= 9 + 4x² – 12x 

But f(x²) = (f(x))² 

3 – 2x² = 9 + 4x² – 12x 

-2x² – 4x² + 12x + 3 – 9 = 0 

-6x² + 12x – 6 = 0 

(÷ by – 6) ⇒ x² – 2x + 1 = 0 

(x – 1) (x – 1) = 0 

x – 1 = 0 or x – 1 = 0

x = 1 

The value of x = 1

a) Displacement is given by the minimum distance between the initial and final positions of a body. In the given case, the cyclist comes to the starting point after cycling for 10 minutes. Hence, his net displacement is zero.

b) Average velocity is given by the relation:

Average velocity = Net displacement/Total time

Total path length = OP + PQ + QO = 1 + 1/4(2π x 1) + 1

= 2 + (1/2)π = 3.570

Time taken = 10 min = 10/60 = 1/6 h

Average speed = 3.570/(1/6) = 21.42 km/h

After cutting squares we will get a cuboid, 

Length of the cuboid (l) = 24 – 2x 

Breadth of the cuboid (b) = 24 – 2x 

Height of the cuboid (h) = 2x 

Volume of the box = Volume of the cuboid 

V = (24 – 2x)(24 – 2x) (x) 

= (24 – 2x)² (x) 

= (576 + 4x² – 96x) x 

= 576x + 4x³ – 96x²

V = 4x³ – 96x² + 576x 

V(x) = 4x³ – 96x² + 576x

(a) Since the cyclist returns to the starting point, his net displacement is zero.

(b) The average velocity

=\(\frac{Net\,displacement}{Time\,taken} =0\)

(c) Average speed = \(\frac{\textit{Length of the path}}{\textit{Time taken}}\)

=\(\frac{Op+arcPQ+QO}{10min}\)

\(= \frac{1 \mathrm{km}+1/{4} \times 2 \pi \times 1 \mathrm{km}+1\mathrm{km}}{1 / 6 \mathrm{hour}} = 21.4 km / hour.\)
