Payal and her mom are fond of birds and animals. Their house was a home to all kinds of abandoned animals, lost dogs, injured cats and lost baby birds. Though not a large house, Payal’s mom had a BIG heart. One day Shefali didi had brought a carton. Inside the carton, there was a small Owlet. Payal’s Mom picked it up carefully and placed her inside the cage. They named it Owlie.

They had to figure out a way to feed the owlet. As Owls eat rats, snakes and frogs, Payal’s mom was hesitant to bring meat inside the house. Finally, Mom ordered the meat and put the meat before Owlie. As Owlie was a baby, it didn’t know to eat. Mom decided to squish (smash) the meat until it was soft and shoved (forced) the food into Owlie’s mouth. In a second, Owlie fell down on the floor of the cage. They thought they had killed Owlie and started talking about burying Owlie. Suddenly, Owlie opened one eye and got onto her feet. That’s when Payal and her Mom learnt that it was Owlie’s way of defending danger.

Payal’s Mom started reading a lot about owls and their habits. Payal took the job of looking after Owlie. Once Owlie leamt to eat on its own, Payal loved it when she offered the meat on her hand and Owlie took the piece. Owls were night birds, so they slept all day and were active during the night. So Payal decided to let Owlie fly when she was bigger. To train her to fly, they had to keep Owlie in closed room. So they chose the library with two doors.

One door led to the rest of the house and another into the garden. Payal used to read all kinds of books in her favorite library room. The book shelves also displayed beautiful pieces of pottery, dolls and wooden and clay animals and birds from all around the world.

Once Owlie was moved to the library, it was decided by Mom and Payal not to leave the doors open. Every night, Payal left the cage door open and put a piece of meat on the cage. Owlie would fly out of the cage and find her food. Every morning, Payal used to close the cage door and find minced meats all over the room. So she thought Owlie was flying around in night and returning back to the cage in the morning to sleep. After some days, Payal left the cage door open as Owlie was sleeping during the day. But one day, when Payal returned, the cage was empty and the garden door was left open. Payal panicked and called for her Mom. Mom asked Payal to be calm and search for Owlie. They couldn’t find Owlie . Finally they decided that Owlie had gone and left the doors open.

Payal was very upset and was looking sadly at the cage . Mom advised Payal to read a book to cheer herself up. Payal started looking for a book to read. Suddenly she noticed a curio (unusual object) on the shelf. Payal was happy to find out that it was Owlie. Payal scolded the owl and put her back in her cage.

Question 1.
Take two pans, one wide and another narrow. Fill hot water in both to the same depth. Keep them in open. Observe after one to two hours. The pan that is wide has cooled more than the narrow one. That is more the surface area; the rate of evaporation is more.

From this, can you guess why we unfurl the clothes while putting them to dry, rather than just drape them over the cloth line?
Answer:
Wet clothes dry faster when we unfurl (Spread) them because the rate of evaporation depends on the surface area. If the surface area will be more, rate of evaporation will be higher or more.

VII. Long Answers

Question 1.
Distinguish between the characteristics of solid, liquid and gas.
Answer:

Question 2.
We would have observed that the plate that covers the cooked food items have water droplets inside. Why? Explain.
Answer:

1. The water vapour emerges from the hot food and goes up.
2. The plate covering the food item is in relative less temperature than the hot food.
3. Thus the more energetic molecules loose energy once they touch the cooler plate.
4. As the molecules lose heat, they lose energy and slow down.
5. They move closer to other gas molecules.
6. Finally these molecules collect together to form a liquid.
7. Condensation happens when molecules in a gas cool down.

Question 3.
Write note on the following:

1. Curdling of milk
2. Fermentation

Answer:
(i) Curdling of milk: Curdling is a process in which liquid gradually turns into solid, forming clumps along the way. Take hot milk in a pan and add few drops of curd, in few minutes milk curdles forming lumpy solid masses. We can even add lemon extract to the hot milk to effect curdling immediately, but the taste and texture of the curd will not be the same as that of the curdling occurring in a few hours.

(ii) Fermentation: Fermentation is the process in which microorganisms such as yeast and certain bacteria break down sugar solution into alcohol and carbon-di-oxide. It is an irreversible process as the alcohol fosned cannot be turned back into sugar. Thus, fermentation is a chemical change.

Question 4.
Explain the characteristics of physical change with examples.
Answer:

(i) During a physical change, no new substances are formed. In a physical change,the chemical properties of a substance do not change. For example, when ice cube melts, water is formed. In this change, there is no new substance, but water is same both in ice and in water.

(ii) A physical change is usually temporary and reversible in nature. For example, when water is heated, water vapours are formed, once water vapours are cooled, water can be obtained again.

(iii) In a physical change, the chemical properties of a substance do not change. For example, when a piece of gold is melted, its chemical composition remains the same in the solid form and also in the liquid form.

(iv) In a physical change, the physical properties such as colour, shape and size of a substance may undergo a change.For example, cutting of vegetables and inflating a balloon are some examples of physical changes in which size and shape of a substance undergoes a change.

Question 5.
Write the characteristics of chemical change.
Answer:

1. Heat, light or any other radiation may be given off or absorbed.
2. Sound may be produced.
3. A change in smell may take place (or) a new smell may be given off.
4. A colour change may take place.
5. A gas may be formed.
6. Formation of precipitate

Question 6.
Explain about indicators of a chemical change with examples.
Answer:
(i) Take some broken pieces of egg shell in a test tube and add lemon juice to it. You could see bubbles of carbon-di-oxide evolving in the test tube. This is because of the chemical change between the two. Hence, we can say that evolution of bubbles serve as an indicator that of a chemical change.

(ii) When water is added to quicklime (calcium oxide) there will be evolution of lot of heat along with the formation of slaked lime (calciumhydroxide). This is a chemical change and it is indicated by the evolution of heat when the reaction sets in between quicklime and water.

(iii) Spoilage of food is a chemical change and it is indicated by the foul smell. So, change of odour is also an indicator of a chemical change.

(iv) When an iron nail is kept in water for a few days and taken out, the nail will become reddish brown in colour indicating that it has rusted. Rusting is a chemical change and it is indicated by a change in colour of the iron nail.

(v) A lump of curd is the precipitate that is obtained by the chemical reaction between hot milk and lemon juice. So, formation of precipitate is also an indication of a chemical change.

IX. Picture based Question:
Question 1.
Cut a fresh slice of potato, apple and brinjal and keep it away for sometime. What is the reason for the change of colour in these cases?

Answer:

1. Colour of the potato and brinjal remains the same when stored in water but there is a change in colour with the piece kept in air.
2. The slice of an apple acquires a brown colour if it is not consumed immediately.
3. This occurs mainly due to oxidation which is caused by oxygen from the air.
4. So, it is a chemical change.

Question 2.

Answer:

1. Meting
2. Condensation

X. Higher order Thinking questions (HOTS):

Question 1.
Give an example to justify the statement that physical changes can be reversible as well as irreversible.
Answer:

1. When water is frozen into ice, it is a physical change. It is reversible since ice can be converted to water again.
2. When a piece of wood is cut into very small pieces, it is a physical change. It is reversible since small pieces of wood cannot be converted back to the bigger piece of wood.
3. It shows that physical changes can be reversible as well as irreversible.

Question 2.
Photosynthesis is a chemical charge. Justify your answer.
Answer:

1. Photosynthesis is the process through which plants convert light energy into chemical energy. Here is the chemical reaction involved.
2. As we can see, water and carbon di oxide combine to form glucose and oxygen,
3. Since new chemical species are formed, photosynthesis is clearly a chemical change.

Question 3.
Why is spoiling of food a chemical change?
Answer:

1. Spoiling of food is a chemical change as it involves the breakdown of the food particles by the microbes.
2. When the food gets spoiled certain properties of that food is loosed and some are gained, as there is a new change happening it is a chemical change.
3. Spoilage of food is indicates by the foul-smell. So change of odour is an indicator of a chemical change.

2. Endoskeleton and Exoskleton
3. Pectoral and Pelvic girdle
4. Ball and socket Joint and Hinge Joint
5. Voluntary and Involuntary muscle

Answer:
1. Movement and Locomotion

Movement:

• Movement is the act of changing the place or position by one or more parts of the body.
• It can either be voluntary or involuntary.
• A movement takes place at the biological level.
• Movement requires energy.

Locomotion:

• Locomotion is the movement of an organism from one place to another.
• It is always voluntary.
• Locomotion takes place at the organism level.
• Locomotion doesn’t necessarily require energy.

2. Endoskeleton and Exoskleton

Endoskeleton:

• It is the skeleton found inside the body.
• It originals from mesoderm.
• Example: Human beings.

Exoskleton:

• It is the skeleton found on the exterior layer of the body.
• It originals from embryonic ectoderm or mesoderm.
• Example: Scales of fish feathers of birds

3. Pectoral and Pelvic girdle

Pectroal girdle:

• It is situated in the shoulder region.
• It gives articulation to forelimbs.
• The shoulder blade and collar bone remain separate.
• They are comparatively lighter.

Pelvic girdle:

• It is situated in the hip region.
• It gives articulation to legs or hind limb.
• Three bones (ilium, ischium and pubis) are fused to form a single hip bone.
• They are strong to take upto lot of stress

4. Ball and socket Joint and Hinge Joint

Ball and socket Joint:

• A ball shaped head of one bone articulates with a cup like socket of j an adjacent bone.
• Movement can occur in three planes. This joint allows the greatest range of movement.
• Example: Shoulder, Hip

Hinge Joint:

• A cylindrical protrusion of one bone articulates with a trough-shaped depression of an adjacent bone.
• Movement is restricted to one plane. This joint allows bending and straightening only.
• Example: Elbow Knee Ankle

5. Voluntary and Involuntary muscle:

Voluntary muscle:

• They are striated (Multinucleate muscles and unbranched) muscles.
• They are attached to bones.
• Example: found in arms, legs
• They are used as per our will.

Involuntary muscle:

• They are non – striated (Single muscle, central nucleus) muscles.
• They are attached to soft parts of the body like blood vessels, Iris, Skin etc.
• They are not under our control.

Question 2.
What are antagonistic muscles? Give one example.
Answer:

1. Muscles often work in pairs which work against each other. These are called antagonistic pairs.
2. The muscles in the upper arm control the bending and straightening of the arm.
3. The two muscles, the biceps and triceps are working against each other.
4. When the biceps contracts the lower arm is raised and the arm bends.
5. In this position the triceps muscle is relaxed.
6. To straighten the arm the reverse happens.
7. The triceps contracts straightening the arm, while the biceps relaxes.

Question 3.

2. They are hollow and have air spaces between them.
3. The hind limbs of birds are modified as claws, which help them to walk and to perch.
4. The breast bones are modified to hold massive flight muscles which help in moving wings up and down.
5. Birds have special flight muscles and the forelimbs are modified as wings.
6. The wings and tail have long feathers, which help in flying. Birds show two types of flight: gliding and flapping.

Question 4.
What are the functions of skeleton in human body?
Answer:
The skeletal system serves five important functions in the human body:

1. It provides structure and shape to the body.
2. It supports and surrounds the internal organs of the body.
3. Calcium and phosphorus, the two minerals that the body needs for important regulatory functions, are stored inside the bones.
4. Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow.
5. The bones of the skeletal system act as levers for muscular action.

Muscular movement would not be possible without tendons (fibrous cords of tissue that attach muscle to bone) and ligaments (fibrous cords of tissue that attach bone to bone).

VI. Answer in detail

Question 1.
Name the different types of joints? Give one example for each type.
Answer:

Joint	Examples
Ball and Socket	Shoulder Hip
Hinge	Elbow Knee Ankle
Pivot	Spine (Atlas / Axis joint at the top)

Gliding	Spine (between the bony processes of the vertebrae)
Saddle	Thumb, shoulder and inner ear.

Question 2.
Write about the human axial skeleton, giving suitable labelled diagram.
Answer:
The axial skeleton consists of the bones along the axis or central line of the human body. It consists of the skull, facial bones sternum, ribs and vertebral column.

Skull:

1. It is a hard structure made of 22 bones.
2. 8 bones are fixed together to form the cranium and 14 hones fuse to form the face.
3. The lower jaw is the only movable bone of the skull.

Vertebral column:

1. It is called the backbone and runs of the back of the body.
2. It is made of 33 individual bones called vertebrae as follows :
   • 7 Cervical vertebrae
   • 12 Thoracic vertebrae
   • 5 Lumbar vertebrae
   • 5 Fused sacral vertebrae
   • 4 Fused coccygeal vertebrae
3. The hollow tube of the vertebral column contains the spinal cord.
4. Vertebrae are joined by gliding points which allow the body to be bent back, front or side – wards.

Function of vertebral column:

1. It protects the spinal cord
2. It supports the head
3. It serves as an attachment for ribs
4. Helps in walking, standing erect and posture.

Sternum or Ribcage:

1. It is a cone shaped structure in the chest region and made up of 12 pairs of ribs.

Question 3.
Discuss various types of movements seen in living organisms.
Answer:
There are three types of movements:

1. Amoeboid movement:
It is brought about by pseudopodia which are appendages which move with movement of protoplasm within a cell.

2. Ciliary movement:
This movement is brought about by appendages called as cilia which are the hair-like extensions of the epithelium. Both these kinds of movements are seen with cells of the lymphatic system.

3. Muscular movement:
It is a more complex movement which is brought about by the musculoskeletal system. This type of movement is seen in the higher vertebrates.
Example: Human beings.

The movements brought about by the musculoskeletal system, comprising of the joints, skeleton and types of muscles.

Some of the movements in body parts of human are:

1. Movement of eyelids.
2. Movement of the heart muscles.
3. Movement of teeth and jaw.
4. Movement of arms and legs.
5. Movements of head.
6. Movements of neck.

Question 4.
What is a streamlined body? How does it help in the movement of animals that fly or swim in water?
Answer:
1. A streamlined body is one which is pointed at the ends and broad in the middle. When such a body travels through a fluid or gaseous medium it exhibits minimum friction or resistance. A body shape which is streamlined helps cut against the friction created by the medium around the moving body.

2. Streamlined body lowers the friction drag between a fluid, air or water and an object moving trough that fluid. Drag is a force that slows down motion. Streamlining reduces the surface area of the moving object.

3. Streamlining reduces friction of movement to a minimum thus decreasing overall drag. Fishes can save energy while swimming because of the streamlined body.

Question 5.
Write a short note on different types of muscles.
Answer:

Muscles found in higher vertebrates are of three types:

1. Striated or skeletal muscles or voluntary muscles.
2. Unstriated or smooth muscles or involuntary muscles.
3. Cardiac muscles.

VI. Answer briefly

Question 1.
How are joints classified? Explain with example.
Answer:
The point at which two separate bones meet is called a joint Depending on the type of movement they allow, joints can be of three types: fixed, slightly movable and movable joints.

1. Fitted or Immovable joints:
In this type of joint, no movement is possible between the two bones. The structures between the bones of the skull box are examples of immovable joints.

2. Slightly movable joints:
Only very little (partial) movement occurs between the two bones. The joint between a rib and the breast bone or between the vertebrae is the example for slightly movable joint.

3. Freely movable joints:
In this type, varying degree of movements is possible between the two bones forming the joint. There are six major types of movable joints.

Condition:
The different types of movable joints are:

Joint	Examples
Ball and Socket	Shoulder Hip
Hinge	Elbow Knee Ankle
Pivot	Spine (Atlas / Axis joint at the top)
Condyloid	Wrist
Gliding	Spine (between the bony processes of the vertebrae)
Saddle	Thumb, shoulder and inner ear.

Question 2.
What is a synovial joints?
Answer:

A synovial joint is a joint which makes connection between two bones consisting of a cartilage lined cavity filled with fluid, which is known as a diarthrosis joint. These are the most flexible type of joint between bones, because the bones are not physically connected and can move more freely in relation to each other. Synovial joints have four main distinguishing features.

Question 3.
Explain the arrangement of arm bones.
Answer:

1. Arm bone is the upper limb made up of humems, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals and phalanges.
2. All these bones are joined by hinge joints which allow the limb to move only in one direction.
3. Humems makes up the upper arm.
4. Fore – arm is made up of radius and ulna.
5. Wrist is made up of carpals. Palm is made up of metacarpals Fingers are made up of phalanges.

Ananth = \(\frac { 1}{ 5 }\) – = \(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\)
New Profit sharing Ratio = 2 : 2 : 1
Sacrificing Ratio = 1 : 0

Question 10.
Raja and Ravi are partners, sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. They admit Ram for 1/4 share of the profit. He takes 1/20 share from Raja and 4/20 from Ravi. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio.
Answer:
New Profit Sharing Ratio = Old Ratio – Sacrificing Ratio
Raja = \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 }\) – \(\frac { 1 }{ 20 }\) = \(\frac { 12 – 1 }{ 20 }\) = \(\frac { 11 }{ 20 }\)
Ravi = \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\) – \(\frac { 4 }{ 20 }\) = \(\frac { 8 – 4 }{ 20 }\) = \(\frac { 4 }{ 20 }\)
Ram = \(\frac { 1 }{ 20 }\) + \(\frac { 4 }{ 20 }\) = \(\frac { 5 }{ 20 }\)
New Profit sharing Ratio = 11 : 4 : 5
Sacrificing Ratio = \(\frac { 1 }{ 20 }\) : \(\frac { 4 }{ 20 }\)

Question 11.
Vimala and Kamala are partners, sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 4:3. Vinitha enters into the partnership and she acquires 1/14 from Vimala and 1/14 from Kamala. Find out the new profit sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio.
Answer:
New Profit Sharing Ratio = Old Ratio – Sacrificing Ratio
Vimala = \(\frac { 4 }{ 7 }\) – \(\frac { 1 }{ 14 }\) = \(\frac { 8 – 1 }{ 14 }\) = \(\frac { 7 }{ 14 }\)
Kamala = \(\frac { 3 }{ 7 }\) – \(\frac { 1 }{ 14 }\) = \(\frac { 6 – 1 }{ 14 }\) = \(\frac { 5 }{ 14 }\)
Vinitha = \(\frac { 1 }{ 14 }\) + \(\frac { 1 }{ 14 }\) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 14 }\)
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 7 : 5 : 2
Sacrificing Ratio = 1 : 1

Question 12.
Govind and Gopal are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5 : 4. They admit Rahim as a partner. Govind surrenders 2/9 of his share in favour of Rahim. Gopal surrenders 1/9 of his share in favour of Rahim. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio.
Answer:
New Profit Sharing Ratio:
Govind = \(\frac { 5 }{ 9 }\) x \(\frac { 2 }{ 9 }\) = \(\frac { 10 }{ 81 }\) ; \(\frac { 5 }{ 9 }\) – \(\frac { 10 }{ 81 }\) = \(\frac { 45 – 10 }{ 81 }\) = \(\frac { 35 }{ 81 }\)
Gopal = \(\frac { 4 }{ 9 }\) x \(\frac { 1 }{ 9 }\) = \(\frac { 4 }{ 81 }\) ; \(\frac { 3 }{ 8 }\) – \(\frac { 3 }{ 64 }\) = \(\frac { 24 – 3 }{ 64 }\) = \(\frac { 21 }{ 64 }\)
Rahim = \(\frac { 2 }{ 9 }\) + \(\frac { 1 }{ 9 }\) = \(\frac { 3 }{ 9 }\) ; \(\frac { 10 }{ 81 }\) + \(\frac { 4 }{ 81 }\) = \(\frac { 14 }{ 81 }\)
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 35 : 32 : 14
Sacrificing Ratio = \(\frac { 10 }{ 81 }\) : \(\frac { 4 }{ 81 }\) = 5 : 2

Question 13.
Prema and Chandra share profits in the ratio of 5:3. Hema is admitted as a partner. Prema surrendered 1/8 of her share and Chandra surrendered 1/8 of her share in favour of Hema. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio.
Answer:
New Profit Sharing Ratio:
Prema = \(\frac { 5 }{ 8 }\) x \(\frac { 1 }{ 8 }\) = \(\frac { 5 }{ 64 }\) ; \(\frac { 5 }{ 8 }\) – \(\frac { 5 }{ 64 }\) = \(\frac { 40 – 5 }{ 64 }\) = \(\frac { 35 }{ 64 }\)
Chandra = \(\frac { 3 }{ 8 }\) x \(\frac { 1 }{ 8 }\) = \(\frac { 3 }{ 64 }\) ; \(\frac { 3 }{ 8 }\) – \(\frac { 3 }{ 64 }\) = \(\frac { 24 – 3 }{ 64 }\) = \(\frac { 21 }{ 64 }\)
Hema = \(\frac { 5 }{ 64 }\) + \(\frac { 3 }{ 64 }\) = \(\frac { 8 }{ 64 }\)
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 35 : 21 : 8
Sacrificing Ratio = 5 : 3

Question 14.
Karthik and Kannan are equal partners. They admit Kailash with 1/4 share of the profit. Kailash acquired his share from old partners in the ratio of 7:3. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio.
New Profit Sharing Ratio:
Karthik = \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) x \(\frac { 7 }{ 10 }\) = \(\frac { 7 }{ 40 }\) ; \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) – \(\frac { 7 }{ 40 }\) = \(\frac { 20 – 7 }{ 40 }\) = \(\frac { 13 }{ 40 }\)
Kannan = \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) x \(\frac { 3 }{ 10 }\) = \(\frac { 3 }{ 40 }\) ; \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) – \(\frac { 3 }{ 40 }\) = \(\frac { 20 – 3 }{ 40 }\) = \(\frac { 17 }{ 40 }\)
Kailash = \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) x 10 = \(\frac { 10 }{ 40 }\)
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 13 : 17 : 10
Sacrificing Ratio = 7 : 3

Question 15.
Selvam and Senthil are partners sharing profit in the ratio of 2:3. Siva is admitted into the firm with 1/5 share of profit. Siva acquires equally from Selvam and Senthil. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio.
Answer:
New Profit Sharing Ratio:
Siva’s share = \(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\) x \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 }\)
Selvam’s share = \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\) – \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 }\) = \(\frac { 4 – 1 }{ 10 }\) = \(\frac { 3 }{ 10 }\)
Senthil’s share = \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 }\) – \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 }\) = \(\frac { 6 – 1 }{ 10 }\) = \(\frac { 5 }{ 10 }\)
Siva’s share = \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 }\) + \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 }\) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 10 }\)
New Profit sharing Ratio = 3 : 5 : 2
Sacrificing Ratio = 1 : 1

Question 16.
Mala and Anitha are partners, sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. Mercy is admitted into the partnership with 1/5 share in the profits. Calculate new profit sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio.
Answer:
Calculate New Profit Sharing Ratio = 1 – \(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\) = \(\frac { 4 }{ 5 }\)
Mala = \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 }\) x \(\frac { 4 }{ 5 }\) = \(\frac { 12 }{ 25 }\)
Anitha = \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\) x \(\frac { 4 }{ 5 }\) = \(\frac { 8 }{ 25 }\)
Mercy = \(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\) x 5 = \(\frac { 5 }{ 25 }\)
New Profit Sharing Ratio = 12 : 8 : 5
Sacrificing Ratio = Old share – New share
Mala = \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 }\) – \(\frac { 12 }{ 25 }\) = \(\frac { 15 – 12}{ 25 }\) = \(\frac { 3 }{ 25 }\)
Anitha = \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\) – \(\frac { 8 }{ 25 }\) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 25 }\)
Sacrificing Ratio = 3 : 2

Question 17.
Ambika, Dharani and Padma are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3:2. They admit Ramya for 25% profit. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio.
Answer:
Ramya share = 25% = 100% – 25% = 75% = \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\)
Ambika’s share = \(\frac { 5 }{ 10 }\) x \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\) = \(\frac { 15 }{ 40 }\)
Dharani’s share = \(\frac { 3 }{ 10 }\) x \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\) = \(\frac { 9 }{ 40 }\)
Padma’s share = \(\frac { 2 }{ 10 }\) x \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\) = \(\frac { 6 }{ 40 }\)
Mercy’s share
New Profit Sharing Ratio
Sacrificing Ratio = Old share – New share
Ambika’s share = \(\frac { 5 }{ 10 }\) – \(\frac { 15 }{ 40 }\) = \(\frac { 20 – 15 }{ 40 }\) = \(\frac { 5 }{ 40 }\)
Dharani’s share = \(\frac { 3 }{ 10 }\) – \(\frac { 9 }{ 40 }\) = \(\frac { 12 – 9 }{ 40 }\) = \(\frac { 3 }{ 40 }\)
Padma’s share = \(\frac { 2 }{ 10 }\) – \(\frac { 6 }{ 40 }\) = \(\frac { 8 – 6 }{ 40 }\) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 40 }\)
Sacrificing Ratio = 5 : 3 : 2

Answer:
Dhamu’s share of goodwill against sacrificing ratio:
Sacrificing Ratio = Old share – New share
Varun = \(\frac { 5 }{ 9 }\) – \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) = \(\frac { 5 – 3 }{ 9 }\) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 9 }\)
Barath = \(\frac { 4 }{ 9 }\) – \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) = \(\frac { 4 – 3 }{ 9 }\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 9 }\)

G. Tackling the issues

Ask the class to discuss solutions to an issue that plagues contemporary society at large or just your community for example, homelessness, violence, environmental degradation, hunger.
Half the class should mention idealistic solutions to the chosen issue; the Other half should mention only realistic approaches to solving the problem.
See if, in listening to both sides, someone can come up with a proposal that is both realistic and unconventional an idea that hasn’t been tried yet.
Answer:
Homelessness – Idealistic Solutions

Student No. 1 :
A permanent and sustainable end to homelessness requires four essential components.
1. Housing is the essential foundation to ending homelessness.
2. Housing is essential, but it is not sufficient. Housing alone, without attention to health, behavioural health, employment and education will continue to result in instability and recurrent homelessness for many people.

Student No. 2 :
1. A key to an apartment is great. But we have to stay connected with the society. Staying lonely in an apartment is not advisable.
2.People should be aware of new home loan plans and housing

Student No. 3 :
Proposal that is both realistic and unconventional:
We can end the homelessness crisis by stabilizing people through shelter, moving them into permanent housing and implementing assistance programs to keep them in their housing. Only then we can reduce and eliminate homelessness in India.

Answer:
Once I was walking through a thick mango grove all alone at mid noon when the scorching sun was right above the head but the close branches of the mango trees formed an umbrella over me. As I walked solitary in the middle of the grove, I could hear only the rustle of the trees, and chirping of the birds. The giant shadows of the huge trees moved in front of me. A strange feeling tickled my stomach as if a powerful alien figure accompanied me. Fear choked my throat and I started walking fast making large paces. Crossing a ruined well I heard the frogs croak that doubled terror in me. But no human soul was seen around. I called all the gods on earth for my rescue. Alas! The discerning spirit within me told it was just an eerie feel in me. Now I realised it was just an impact of the ghost film that I had viewed the previous night. I laughed to myself and continued to walk boldly whistling towards my destination.

The Listeners Summary

A man identified as the ‘Traveller’ arrives on horseback late at night at a lone house in a forest. He knocks on the moonlit door asking if anybody is there. His horse was hungrily biting and chewing the grass noisily amidst the silence of the forest.

The forest ground was covered with ferns. A bird flew from the cylindrical tower on the wall of the house which proved that it lived there undisturbed.

The Traveller knocks thrice on the door asking if anyone is there but no one responds to his call. Nobody peeped from the leaves creeping window sill nor they leaned down and looked into his grey eyes.

When the Traveller was standing confused and still, the host of ghosts that lived in the lonely house stood listening in the silence of the moonlight to the voice of the human. In the dull moonlight they stood crowded on the dark steps which lead to the empty hall in the house. They were attentively listening to the call of the lonely Traveller which disturbed the calm environment.
