VI. Paragraph Questions and Answers.

Question 1.
What do you know about The Jungle Book*?
Answer:
The Jungle Book was written by Rudyard Kipling. The book has attracted audiences of all ages for its plot structure and characters. Children especially enjoy this story, as it deals with the early childhood of a boy in the midest of wild animals in the forest. It has many episodes such as the acceptance of Mowgli by the pack of wolves, the friendship between Bagheera, the black panther and Mowgli. Bagheera serves as a friend, protector and mentor to the man-cub. It has also episodes of Mowgli’s adventurous trips in the jungle with Baloo, the bear and the fight between Mowgli and the monkey’s gang. Mowgli was forced to leave the jungle. But after sometime, he decides to return to the jungle and lives there.

Question 2.
Explain In detail about the law of the Jungle.
Answer:
The law of the Jungle, which never orders anything without a reason, forbids every beast to eat Man, except when he is killing to show his children how to kill and then he must hunt outside the hunting grounds of his pack or tribe. The real reason for this is that Man-killing means, sooner or later, the arrival of men on elephants with guns and rockets and torches. Then everybody in the jungle suffers. The reasons the beasts give among themselves is that Man is the weakest and most defenceless of all living things.

Textual Activities

Warm Up

Look at the pictures given below and talk about their habitat (living place, food, family, etc, )

Answer:
Every living organism has- a habitat. Habitats vary greatly from organism to organism, because all living things have different needs for survival. A human being needs a beautiful house to live in. He needs good healthy food and a loving family around him. Most people prefer to live in cities.

Animals like Tigers, Lions and Monkeys live in the forests or jungles. They are happy to be in their habitat instead of being caught and kept in zoos. Lions live generally in western India and African Savannah, where the forest is not so dense. These grasslands invite a lot of herbivores to come there and be hunted by the lions. Gorillas thrive in the tropical and sub-tropical forests that run along the equatorial belt. Abundant and green vegetation is the main characteristic of the gorilla habitat. Gorillas form a family of 15-20 consisting of adults and kids and live peacefully.

The Jungle Book Summary

Section I

The Jungle book was written by Rudyard Kipling. Children enjoy this story, as it deals with the early childhood of a boy in the midst of wild animals in the forest. The characters in this story are Father Wolf, Mother Wolf, Tabaqui (the Jackal), Shere Khan (the Tiger), Man’s Cub (Mowgli), Wolf’s Cubs and the Narrator.

The scene opens in the Seeonee Hills. It was seven o’clock in the evening. There were no stars in the sky. It was utter darkness in the forest. Father Wolf woke up from his day’s rest and got ready for the hunt. Mother Wolf dropped her four tumbling cubs into the mouth of the cave, where they all live. Father Wolf moved down to spring downhill, where he meets Tabaqui, the jackal. He informed the Father Wolf and the Mother Wolf that Shere Khan had shifted his hunting grounds.

So he had told Tabaqui that he will hunt among those hills for the next moon. Shere Khan was the Tiger, who lived near the Waingunga river, twenty miles away from the Seeonee Hills. Father Wolf got angry and told that he had no right to come there and change his quarters with due warning. Mother Wolf told them that since Shere Khan had been lame in one foot right from his birth, his mother called him Lungri (the Lamd One). The villagers of the Waingunga were angry with him and he had come there to make their villagers angry. She said that they must run away by setting fire on Shere Khan. Hearing this, the Jackal moved away saying that they can hear Shere Khan below in the forest.

Section II

Father Wolf listened to the dry, angry whine of a tiger, who has caught nothing. Father Wolf called Shere Khan a fool to begin a night’s work with that noise. Mother Wolf told him that Shere Khan intends to hunt a man and not any other animal. The whine of the Shere Khan had changed to a sort of humming purr that seemed to come from every quarter of the compass. It was the noise that frightened everyone in the jungle.

Section III

The law of the jungle never orders anything without a reason, forbids every beast to eat man, except when he is killing to show his children how to kill and then he must hunt outside the hunting grounds of his pack or tribe. The purr grew louder and there was an untigerish howl from Shere Khan. He howled because he had burnt his feet, as he accidently jumped into a woodcutter’s campfire. The bushes rustled a little in the forest and so Father Wolf was ready for his leap. When he saw a Man’s cub, he stopped to leap at him. This naked baby looked up into Father’s Wolf’s face and laughed.

The baby pushed his way between the cubs to get close to the warm hide. Mother Wolf was happy to have the man’s cub with them. Shere Khan came to the entrance and asked for the baby. The mouth of the cave was too narrow for a tiger to go into it. The Mother Wolf came forward facing Shere Khan bravely. She said that the Man’s cub belonged to her. He would live with them and in the end would hunt Shere Khan. Father Wolf looked amazed at the courage of Mother Wolf. Shere Khan backed out of the cave growling and insisting that the man club belonged to him.

Section IV

Mother Wolf threw herself down panting among the cubs, and when Father Wolf asks her whether she wanted to keep the Man-cub, she said that she would keep him with her cubs. Shere Khan would have killed him, if she had let him out. She named him as ‘Mowgli’ the little Frog and told him that he had to hunt Shere Khan, as he had hunted him.

On Christmas eve, the soldiers had their first good freeze. Everything was tinged white with frost and a bright sun shone. It was perfect Christmas weather. Clusters of tiny lights were shining all along the German line and they had placed Christmas trees, lit by candles, lanterns, like beacons of goodwill. The Germans began singing, “ Stille nacht.” The British applauded the Germans. Both the troops crossed the barbed wires and were in No Man’s Land.

The Christmas Truce Summary:

This story unfolds a Truce of how the foes on a warrior front become friends on a Christmas eve. It is a British soldier’s letter to his sister. A surprised brother writes to his sister something almost like a fairy tale that blended the enemy soldiers to sing carols before the fire on the battlefields of France. After the first battle was over with many dead soldiers on both sides they were waiting for replacements to come from home. It was a terrible wait expecting an artilleiy shell that would explode and kill or maim several men.

The rain played the worst havoc that made the boots stuck to the ground. This was the case for the German soldier separated by fifty yards bordered by no man’s land-yet close enough as their voices could be heard. We hated them as they had killed many of our soldiers. But we almost felt that we had something in common. As we were experiencing a good freeze with little shelling or rifle fire from either sides, the shooting stopped as darkness fell. But, we were informed that there might be a sudden attack by the Germans.

Waking up, I saw an unbelievable sight as the Germans had placed Christmas trees in front of their trenches lit by candles or lanterns. They started singing carols and we too joined them. Though we couldn’t understand their language, the tune of the song made it clear that they were singing carols. Finally we agreed to cross over and join them to celebrate Christmas forgetting that we were in the war zone.

British Khaki and German’s grey mingled over the bonfire. Many knew English as they had worked in England before. Just when we finished and started to go to our spots, an old German soldier clutched my arm and asked why can’t we just have peace and go home. We are just soldiers following orders and protecting our nation. But I hope, a day will come when there will be no wars when such spirit will be felt by world leaders to offer good wishes instead of warnings, gifts in place of retaliations. All nations want peace, though the author wonders if the wanting is quite enough.

Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 8th Maths Solutions Term 2 Chapter 4 Information Processing Ex 4.3

Question 1.
Choose the correct answers:

Question (i)
In questions A and B, there are four groups of letters in each set. Three of these sets are like in some way while one is different. Find the one which is different.
A. (a) C R D T (b) A P B Q (c) E U F V (d) G W H X
B. (a) H K N Q (b) I L O R (c) J M P S (d) A D G J
Answer:
A. (a) C R D T (b) A P B Q (c) E U F V (d) G W H X
Hint:
The four groups of letters are
CRDT APBQ EUFV GWHX
The above can be written as

We find that when we take 1st & 3rd letter & 2nd & 4th letter as 2 pairs, the 3rd letter is the next letter alphabetically to the 1st letter.
Similarly the 4th letter is alphabetically the next letter of the 2nd letter.
i.e CD, AB, EF, GH & PQ, UV, WX
Only in CRDT, we have T instead of ‘S’. So,
Answer:
in CRDT ⇒ Option (a)

B. The four groups of letters are
HKNQ ILOR JMPS ADGI
If we notice, we find that 2 letters are missing in the sequence, ie.
H_IJK_LMN_OPQ I_JKL_MNO_PQR
L_KLM_NOP_QRS A_BCD_EFG_HI
We find that only in ADGI, the difference is only one letter between G & I.
Hence it is the odd one out.

Question (ii)
A group of letters are given. A numerical code has been given to each letter. These letters have to be unscrambled into a meaningful word. Find out the code for the word so formed from the 4 answers given.

(a) 2 3 4 1 5 6
(b) 5 6 3 4 2 1
(c) 6 1 3 5 2 4
(d) 4 2 1 3 5 6
Answer:
(b) 5 6 3 4 2 1
hint:
Given code is

Option (a) is 234156. When we substitute number for each letter from code, we get,

Option (b) is 563421, similarly, we get 5 6 3 4 2 1

Option (c) is

Option (d) is

So, only in option b, we get a meaningful word, i.e PENCIL.
Hence, answer is Option (b)

Question (iii)
In questions I and II, there are based on code language. Find the correct answer from the four alternatives given. A
C In a certain code, ‘M E D I C I N E’ is coded as ‘COMPUTER’ written in the same code?
(a) C N P R V U F Q
(b) C M N Q T U D R
(c) R F U V Q N P C
(d) R N V F T U D Q
Answer:
(C) R F U V Q N P C
Hint:
It is given that in a certain code M E D I C I N E is coded as E O J D J E F M When we observe the word & the code, we find that, there is a pattern.

[to understand, see the matching shapes]
To get the code from the word, we follow the below steps
1.
swap 1st & last letters, so we get
E [ E D I C I N ] M
2. For the middle letters, replace the letters with their alphabetically next letters, so we get

3. Now we have to reverse the order of the middle letters in the bracket, so we get
E[O J D J E F]M = E O J D J E F M
Thus we get the code.
So similarly, we have to follow the 3 steps to get code, therefore:
for

Step 1: Swap 1 st & last letters, so we get
R [O M P U T E ]C
Step 2: For the middle letters, replace the letters with alphabetically next letters, so we get
R [P N Q V U F] C
Step 3: Reverse the word of letters in the bracket to we get
R [F U V Q N P] C
∴ Ans is R F U V Q N P C ⇒ Option C

Question (iv)
If the word ‘PHONE’ is coded as ‘S K R Q H’, how will ‘R A D I O’ be coded?
(a) S C G N H
(b) V R G N G
(c) U D G L R
(d) S D H K Q
Answer:
(C) U D G L R
hint:
If PHONE is coded as S K R Q H
Find that code for R A D I O

We find that we get the code, by 3rd letter alphabetically so, from P, skipping Q & R, we get S.
Similarly, from H, skipping I & J, we get K
Like wise for R A D I O, skipping the 2 alphabets
From R, skip S & T → U
From A, skip B & C → D

From D skip E & F → G
From I skip J & K → L
From O skip P & Q → R
Answer:
is U D G L R ⇒ Option c

Question 2.

Question 1.
Find HCF of 52 and 78 using repeated division.
Solution:

26 is the HCF of 52 & 78

Question 2.
Find HCF of 56 & 98 using repeated subtraction method.
Solution:
Let m = 98, n = 56
m – n = 98 – 56 = 42 ; now m = 56 & n = 42
m – n = 56 – 42 = 14 ; now m = 42 & n = 14
m – n = 42 – 14 = 28 ; now m = 14 & n = 28
m – n = 28 – 14 = 14 ; now = 14 & n = 14
∴ HCF of 98 & 56 is 14.

Question 3.
Find the first 10 terms of the Fibonacci series.
Solution:
Let us first write down the first 2 terms which are 1, 1. To find the remaining terms, we use the general formula. F(n) = F(n – 1) + F(n – 2)
∴ F(3) = F(2) + F(1)
F(1) = 1; F(2) = 1
F(3) = 1 + 1=2
F(4) = F(3) + F(2) = 2 + 1 = 3
F(5) = F(4) + F(3) = 2 + 3 = 5
∴ The first 10 terms are; 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,13, 21, 34, 55
