What is your stance regarding the two endings to the Roger Skunk story?

Answer»

It is interesting to contrast the two endings of the Roger Skunk story. Jack's ending of the story is quite mature and practical. It points out the harsh realities that one has to go through in life. The world is based on individual differences; every species of animals has its distinct features, which must be respected and accepted in totality. Moreover, parents know what is best for their children, and their decisions should be respected and obeyed. Jo wanted the story to end happily. She wanted Roger Skunk's problems solved and expected that he would live happily, playing with his new friends. This ending too is justified when we look at it from a child's point of view.As a child, Jo was unable to understand the worth of one's originality and individuality. Besides, it is difficult for children to understand or explain unhappy endings.

A disaster relief team consists of engineers and doctors in the ratio of 2 : 5. (i) If there are 18 engineers, find the number of doc tors. (ii) If there are 65 doctors, find the number of engineers.

Answer»

i) Ratio of engineers and doctors= 2 : 5 

The number of engineers = 18 

Let the number of doctors = x 

Now 2 : 5 :: 18 : x . 

By the rule of proportion 

2x = 5 × 18

\(\frac {5\times18}{2}\) = 45

∴ The number of doctors 45

ii) Numbers of doctors = 65 

Let the number of engineers = x then 2 : 5 :: x : 65 

By the rule of proportion 5x = 2 × 65

x = \(\frac {2\times65}{2}\) = 26

∴ The number of engineers = 26

The walls and ceiling of a room are to be plastered. The length, breadth and height of the room are 4.5 m, 3 m and 350 cm, respectively. Find the cost of plastering at the rate of Rs. 8 per square metre.

Answer»

Given details are,

Length of room = 4.5m

Breadth of wall = 3m

Height of wall = 350cm = 350/100 = 3.5m

Area of ceiling = l × b

= 4.5 × 3

= 13.5 m2

Area of walls = 2 (lh + bh) m2

= 2 (4.5×3.5 + 3×3.5)

= 2 (15.75 + 10.5)

= 52.5 m2

Sum of Area of ceiling + area of walls = 13.5m2 + 52.5m2

= 66m2

Given, Cost for plastering 1m2 area = Rs 8

∴ Cost for plastering 66 m2 area = 66 × 8 = Rs 528

5074.

The perimeter of a floor of a room is 30 m and its height is 3 m. Find the area of four walls of the room.

Answer»

Given details are,

Height of floor = 3m

Perimeter of floor = 30m

So, perimeter = 30

2(l+b) = 30

l+b = 30/2

l+b = 15m

∴ Area of four walls of room = 2 (lh + bh) m2

= 2h (l+b)

= 2 (3) (15)

= 90m2

A cuboidal vessel is 10 cm long and 5 cm wide. How high it must be made to hold 300 cm3 of a liquid?

Answer»

Given details are,

Volume of a liquid in the vessel = 300 cm3

Length of a cuboidal vessel = 10 cm

Breadth of a cuboidal vessel = 5 cm

Let height of cuboidal vessel be ‘h’ cm

We know that, l × b × h = 300 cm3

h = 300/(l × b)

= 300/(10×5)

= 6cm

5076.

A cuboidal vessel is 10 m long and 8 m wide. How high must it be made to hold 380 cubic meters of a liquid?

Answer»

Dimensions of a cuboidal vessel: 

Length = l = 10 m 

Breadth = b = 8 m 

Volume of the vessel = 380 m3

Let ‘h’ be the height of the cuboidal vessel. 

We know, 

Volume of cuboidal vessel = lbh 

lbh = 380 m3 

or 10 x 8 x h = 380 

or h = \(\frac{(380)}{(10 \times 8)}\)

or h = 4.75 

Therefore, height of the vessel should be 4.75 m.

The inner diameter of a circular building is 54 cm and the base of the wall occupies a space of 2464 cm2. The thickness of the wall is(a) 1 cm (b) 2 cm (c) 4 cm (d) 5 cm

Answer»

(a) 1 cm

Let the outer radius of the wall be R cm. Then,

πR2 = 2464 ⇒R2\(\frac{2464\times7}{22}\) = 784

⇒ R = \(\sqrt{784}\) = 28 cm.

Inner diameter = 54 cm 

⇒ Inner radius = 27 cm 

∴ Thickness = 28 cm – 27 cm = 1 cm

A cylindrical road roller made of iron is 1 m long. Its internal diameter is 54 cm and the thickness of the iron sheet used in making the roller is 9 cm. find the mass of the roller, if 1 cm3 of iron has 7.8 gm mass (use π = 3.14)

Answer»

Given that, 

internal radius of cylinder road roller (r1) = \(\frac{54}2\) = 27 cm

Thickness of road roller (t) = 9 cm 

Radius of cylinder road roller be R 

t = R – r 

t = R - 27 

R = 9 + 27 = 36 cm 

Given height of cylindrical road roller (h) = 1 m 

h = 100 cm 

Volume of iron=πh(R2 - r2

= π(362 - 272) × 100 

= 1780.38 cm 

Mass of 1 cm of iron = 7.8 gm 

Mass of 1780.38 cm of iron = 1780.38 × 7.8 

= 1388696.4 gm 

∴ Mass of roller (m) = 1388.7 kg

5082.

Find the height of the cylinder whose volume is 1.54 m3 and diameter of the base is 140 cm?

Answer»

It is given in the question that, 

Volume of cylinder = 1.54 m3 

Diameter of the base = 140 cm = 1.4m 

Hence, 

Radius of the base = \(\frac{1.4}{2}\)

= 0.7 m 

Now, 

Volume of cuboid = \(\pi r^2h\)

1.54 = \(\pi (0.7)^2(h)\)

1.54 = \(\frac{22}{7}\times0.7\times0.7\times h\)

h = 1 m 

Hence, height of the cuboid = 1m

5083.

The volume of a circular iron rod of length 1 m is 3850 cm3. Find its diameter.

Answer»

It is given in the question that, 

Volume of cylindrical rod = 3850 cm3 

Height of the rod = 1m = 100 cm 

Now, 

In order to find the diameter of the rod we need to find the radius of the rod 

Hence, 

Volume of cuboid = \(\pi r^2h\)

3850 = \(\pi (r^2)(100)\)

3850 = \(\frac{22}{7}\times r^2\times 100\)

r2\(\frac{3850\times7}{100\times22}\)

r = 1.75× 7 

r = 3.5 cm 

Hence, 

Diameter = 2(radius) 

= 2 × 3.5 

= 7 cm

5084.

The volume of a circular iron rod of length 1m is 3850 cm3. Find its diameter.

Answer»

Given volume of circular iron rod is 3850 cm3

But we know that Volume of cylinder = πr2h

3850= 22/7 × r × r × 100

r2= 3850 × 7/100 × 22

r = 1.75 × 7

r= 3.5cm

Therefore diameter = 2 × r

Diameter= 2 × 3.5 = 7cm

What is meant by Protocol? What protocols are used on the internet? Explain.OrWhat is the Protocol? Why is it needed in networks? Explain.OrWrite in brief Protocol.

Answer»

Protocol: Protocol is a software, i.e., set of rules which are used to establish communication between several computers. It defines the exact order in which two machines exchange data with one another. Protocols are technical customs or guidelines that govern the exchange of signal transmission and reception between equipment. Each protocol specifies the exact order in which signals will be transferred. Both Hardware and software are designed to handle specific protocols. Functions of Protocol: There are the following functions of protocol:

  • How to begin and terminate a session between two computers?
  • How the messages in a session are to be framed?
  • How errors in the transmission of messages are to be detected?
  • How messages are to be retransmitted when errors are detected?
  • How to find out which message block was sent by which terminal computer and to whom?
  • How the dialogue on the communication line proceeds?

Examples:

1. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol): TCP breaks up the data to be sent into packets. It guarantees that any data sent to the destination computer reaches it. IP is a set of conventions used to send packets from one host to another. It is responsible for routing the packets to a desired destination IP address.

2. X.12: This protocol is used to establish a connection between companies to exchange important papers.

3. X. 25: This protocol establishes the interface for common data network.

4. HTTP: HyperText Transfer Protocol works on the internet to send or receive files from different locations.
