By the end of the Epic Age,many evil practices had crept into society in the name of religion Explain?

Answer»

In later Vedic period, religion became complex and dicult. Many evil customs crept into society in the name of religion. Costly sacrices, superstitions, and elaborate and meaningless rituals destroyed the simplicity and appeal of the original religion. The Vedic texts were written in Sanskrit, which the common people could not understand. The brahmanas explained the texts in a manner that increased their own power, wealth and status. The rites and rituals introduced by them led to the exploitation of the common people. Religion became expensive and oppressive. The caste system became rigid. The lower casts, especially the shudras, were increasingly isolated and persecuted. They were denied the right to study the religious scriptures and were not even allowed to recite Sanskrit hymns.

What is Meant by Application of Funds?

Answer»

The funds collected by a company from the owners and outsiders are employed to create following assets: 

1. Fixed Assets: These assets are acquired for long-terms and are used for business operation, but not meant for resale. The land and buildings, plant, machinery, patents, and copyrights are the fixed assets. In case of the XYZ COMPANY LTD., fixed assets are worth Rs. 526.75 crore. 

2. Investments: The investments are the financial securities created by investing surplus funds into any non-business related avenues for getting income either for long-term or short-term. Thus incomes and gains from the investments are not from the business operations. 

3. Current Assets, Loans, and Advances: This consists of cash and other resources which can be converted into cash during the business operation. Current assets are held for a short term period for meeting day-to- day operational expenditure. The current assets are in the form of raw materials, finished goods, cash, debtors, inventories, loans and advances, and pre-paid expenses.

\(2+\frac{sin\theta}{cot\theta-cosec\theta }\)

Answer»

\(2+\frac{sin\,\theta}{cot\,\theta - cosec\,\theta}\)

\(= 2+\cfrac{sin\,\theta}{\frac{cos\,\theta}{sin\,\theta} - \frac{1}{sin\,\theta}}\)

\(=2+\frac{sin^2\theta}{cos\,\theta -1}\)

\(=2 + \cfrac{4\,sin^2\frac{\theta}{2}\,cos^2\frac{\theta}{2}}{1 - 2\,sin^2\frac{\theta}{2}-1}\) \(\binom{\because\, sin\,\theta\, =\, 2\,sin\frac{\theta}{2}cos\frac{\theta}{2}}{\text{And}\,cos\,\theta\, =\, 1 - 2\,sin^2\frac{\theta}{2}}\)

\(= 2 - 2\,cos^2\frac{\theta}{2}\)

\(=2\left(1 - cos^2\frac{\theta}{2}\right)\)

\(=2\,sin^2\frac{\theta}{2}\) \(\left(\because sin^2\frac{\theta}{2} + cos^2\frac{\theta}{2} = 1\right)\)

Alternative : \(\rightarrow\)

\(2+\frac{sin\,\theta}{cot\,\theta - cosec\,\theta}\) \(=2+\frac{sin\,\theta}{cot\,\theta - cosec\,\theta}\times \frac{cot\,\theta + cosec\,\theta}{cot\,\theta + cosec\,\theta}\)

\(= 2 + \cfrac{sin\,\theta \left(\frac{cos\,\theta}{sin\,\theta} + \frac{1}{sin\,\theta}\right)}{cot^2\theta - cosec^2\theta}\)

= 2 - (cos θ + 1) (∵ cot2θ - cosec2θ = -1)

\(= 2 - \left(2\,cos^2 \frac{\theta}{2} - 1 + 1\right)\) \(\left(\because cos\,\theta = 2\,cos^2\frac{\theta}{2} - 1\right)\)

\(=2 - 2\,cos^2\frac{\theta}{2}\)

\(=2\left(1-cos^2\frac{\theta}{2}\right)\)

\(=2\,sin^2\frac{\theta}{2}\) \(\left(\because 1 - cos^2\frac{\theta}{2} = sin^2\frac{\theta}{2}\right)\)

18.

What are grids? How are they important in a toposheet?

Answer»

Places are located on maps with the help of latitudes and longitudes. But it is difficult to show the precise location of minor geographical features in toposheets.To solve this difficulty north – south and east west lines in red are incorporated in the toposheets. The north-south lines are called eastings and the east-west lines are called northings. The grid formed by the eastings and the northings are called reference grid. Each grid with 2 cm width and 2 cm breadth covers an area with 1 kilometre length and 1 kilometer breadth on the earth’s surface (in 1: 50000 toposheets)

19.

How do spatial data and attributes differ? Explain with example.

Answer»

Each feature on the earth’s surface has a location of its own. Such features of the earth’s surface having a specific location are known as spatial data. 

For eg : among the countries of the world, the location of India is between north latitudes 8°4′ and 37°6′ and east longitudes 68°7′ and 97°25′.

The additional information about the characteristics of each data on the earth’s surface are called attributes. The characteristics of spatial data can be recorded with the help of their attributes. 

For eg : when we find out the location of well in our house, it forms spatial data. When we collect information about the characteristics of the well like its depth, whether it has a platform or retaining wall, these are its attributes.

Write down the location and function of sensors listed below: a) Air Flow Sensor b) Air Temperature Sensor c) Oxygen Sensor d) Throttle Position Sensor e) Vehicle Speed Sensor

Answer»

a) Air Flow Sensor : 

Air flow sensor is a device that is used in conjunction with an oxygen sensor to accurately measure the flow of air into a fuel injection engine. Normally, it is located on throttle body. 

b) Air Temperature Sensor : 

The air temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature of the incoming air in the engines air stream. The sensor is used by the computer to measure air density for fuel mixture control. The computer uses this information to change the air/fuel ratio according to the air density. Normally, it is located on intake manifold. 

c) Oxygen Sensor : 

The Oxygen sensor is a device positioned in the exhaust manifold/ stream. Oxygen sensor, measures the make-up of the exhaust whether it is running too lean or too rich. 

d) Throttle Position Sensor : 

The purpose of the throttle position sensor/switch is to relay the position of the throttle butterfly valve to the ECU. Normally, it is located on throttle body. 

e) Vehicle Speed Sensor : 

Normally, the vehicle speed sensor is located on transmission box/ gear box housing. The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) measures transmission/transaxle output or wheel speed. The ECM uses this information to modify engine functions such as ignition timing, air/fuel ratio, transmission shift points, and to initiate diagnostic routines.
