By then, the storm had started. The wind blew hard on us. We had to take shelter in a bus terminus. It rained heavily. We couldn’t step out of the bus terminus for nearly two hours. Then we came out. It was still raining. There was water upto our knees. My mother gave a call to my father asking him to come there. He hired a car and picked us up. We reached home safely at 8 p.m.

Project

G. Make a fact file on how do we use these resources in our day-to-day life.

• Solar energy
• Wind energy
• Hydro energy

Answer:
Solar Energy

Many scientist believe that solar energy is the future fuel. To cut down electricity bills, we should use solar energy. You can choose a full solar electrical system and completely remove yourself from the local power supply company. Solar systems can heat the water in your homes to fill your hot-water tank. Almost every electronic device that contains GPS or receives information via satellite such as cell phones, use some of the oldest solar technology around. Satellites that link us to most mass forms of media directly or indirectly use the sun’s rays to power them.

Wind Energy

The earth is a source of many forms of energy such as hydro, biomass, nuclear and geothermal. Wind energy is a source of energy which is free, very abundant and environment friendly. Wind turbines are one of the power generating devices, which utilize wind energy to generate power. This electricity is used to run electric devices and or stored in the batteries. Many countries use wind energy to power a pump water from the ground. The wind energy is also used to power the sailing ships in the sea. A more enjoyable use to wind energy is for sports and activities that rely on the power of wind.

Hydro Energy

Like wind energy, Hydro energy is mostly used for electricity generation and accounts for almost 20% of the total global electricity production. Hydro- power is also used to store energy. Hydro electricity is one of the cheapest and non-polluting sources of power. It is much more reliable than wind and solar power. The most common type of hydro-electric power plant uses a dam on a river to store water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity.

A Childhood in Malabar: A Memoir Summary

This story, written by Kamala Das recounts the incident of a stormy day at her grand parents’ house in the village of Kerala. Kamala Das and her elder brother were invited to the feast of someone’s birthday at Ambazhathel. They were taken to the serpent shrine by Malathi Kutty. There, they saw Meenakshi Edathi. She was a distant relative of the Ambazhathel family. She was setting out turmeric, milk and bananas for the snakes.

Being poor, she was dependent on their generosity. A middle aged person, Meenakshi spent her time rushing around the house and compound, doing certain trivial duties. But the family of Ambazhathel could not have existed happily for a single day without Meenakshi, as she was the only one, who knew about the needs of the inmates of the family.

After lunch, they returned home to Nalapat along with Malathi Kutty. Within an hour, they heard the sound of a gale. The wind tore through the cocount palms, dry leaves swirled upwards, branches shook ahd the seat of the swing fell down, due to this gale. Kamala Das’ grandmother, (Ammamma) asked all of them to sit down in the upstairs middle room and gave them a metal dice to play with.

Her father’s mother (Muthassi) ordered to close all the small windows. The sound of the rain was like the roar of a vast crowd of people. Malathi Kutty insisted that she wanted to go to Ambazhathel and see Kutti Oppu. Ammamma tried to comfort her that she will send her as soon as the storm stopped. The backyard was flooded and the water had also collected in the Central Hall. They all sat on their beds and mattresses. Just then, Ammayi arrived, drenched to the skin. Cheriamma suggested that they can chant akshara slokans to forget their fear.

As soon as Ammaman and Ammayi went upstairs, the servant woman started wailing and hitting her head with her hands. She was worried about her family members. Muthassi and Ammamma comforted her and said that she could go home the next day, as soon as the rain stopped. All of them, heard the trees crashing to the ground and a dog whining in the western yard. Sankaran Nair told them that there was knee-deep water in the courtyard.

Thumbi, their pet dog was also drenched and was shivering in the cold. Sankaran spread a gunny bag for Thumbi to lie down. All of them spent the whole night in the southern room. When they woke up, the rain had stopped. A young man from Vadekkara came to check whether all are safe. He told them that he started out at day break and waded through the water. On his way, he saw the collapsed huts and trees, dead fowls and dead goats floating in the water.

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.

Question 4.
There are 20 girls and 25 boys in a class.
(a) What is the ratio of number of girls to the number of boys?
(b) What is the ratio of number of girls to the total number of students in the class?
Solution:
Given number of girls = 20
Number of boys = 25
Total number of students = 20 + 25 = 45.
Ratio of Number of girls to the number of boys

girls : boys = 4 : 5
Ratio of number of girls to the total number of students

Ratio of no. of gets to total students = 4 : 9

Question 5.
Simplify the ratio 20 : 5
Solution:
\(\frac{20}{5}=\frac{4}{1}\) = 4 : 1

Question 6.
Mother wants to divide ₹ 36 between her daughters Sumi and Divya in the ratio of their ages. If age of Sumi is 15 years and age of Divya is 12 years. Find how much Sumi and Divya gets?
Solution:
Given Sumi’s age = 15 years
Divya’s age = 12 years
Ratio of their ages
\(\frac{\text { Sumi’s age }}{\text { Divya’s age }}=\frac{15 \text { yrs }}{12 \text { yrs }}=\frac{5}{4}=5: 4\)
Now mother wants to divide ₹ 36 between the daughters in the ratio of their ages.
Sum of the parts of ratios = 5 + 4 = 9.
Sumi gets 5 parts and Divya gets 4 parts out of 9 equal parts.
Sumi’s share \(=\frac{5}{9} \times 36\) = ₹ 20
Divya’s share \(=\frac{4}{9} \times 36\) = ₹ 16

Question 7.
The ratio of breadth and length of a hall is 2 : 5. Complete the following table that shows some possible breadths and lengths of the hall.

Solution:
Given the ratio of breadth and length of the hall = 2 : 5.
Also given breadth of the hall = 10
length of the hall = 25.
Ratio of breadth : length = \(\frac{10}{25}=\frac{2}{5}=2: 5\)
To find First missing number:
Take the first ratio = \(\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2 \times 10}{5 \times 10}=\frac{20}{50}\)
First missing number = 20.
Also, \(\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2 \times 20}{5 \times 20}=\frac{40}{100}\)
Second missing number = 100

Question 8.
Kumaran has ₹ 600 and wants to divide it between Vimala and Yazhini in the ratio 2 : 3, who will get more and how much?
Solution:
Divide the whole money into 2 + 3 = 5 equal parts then, Vimala gets 2 parts out of 5 parts and Yazhini gets 3 parts out of 5 parts.
Amount Vimala gets = \(600 \times \frac{2}{5}\) = ₹ 240
Amount Yazhini gets = \(600 \times \frac{3}{5}\) = ₹ 360
Vimala received ₹ 240 and Yazhini gets ₹ 360, which is ₹ 120 more than that of Vimala.

Question 9.
Find the value of x if 16 : 24 :: x : 30.
Solution:
Given the two ratios are in proportion.
Product of extremes = 16 × 30 = 480
Product of means = 24 × x
We know that product of extremes = product of mean 480
480 = 24 × x
⇒ x = 20

Question 10.
The cost of 12 pens is ₹ 96, then find the cost of 8 such pens.
Solution:
Since the ratio of number of pens to its cost are in proportion.
We say that 12 : 96 :: 8 : cost
Product of extremes = 12 × cost
Product of means = 96 × 8 = 768
Product of extremes = product of means
12 × Cost = 96 × 8
Cost = \(\frac{96 \times 8}{12}=64\)
Cost of 8 pens ₹ 64

Question 11.
If the ratio between 72 and y is same as the ratio between 64 and x then what is the ratio between x and y?
Solution:
Given ratio between 72 and y = ratio between 64 and x

Aadisaran made 50 runs in 10 overs and Mohan made 42 runs in 7 overs. Whose run rate is better?
Solution:
Run Rate = Ratio of runs to over
Run rate of Aadisaran = \(\frac{50}{10}\) = 5
Run rate of Mohan = \(\frac{42}{7}\) = 6
Mohan’s run rate is better.

Question 14.
If the cost of 7 m of cloth is ₹ 294 find the cost of 5 m of cloth.
Solution:
Given cost of 7 m of cloth = ₹ 294.
Cost of 1 m of cloth = \(\frac{294}{7}\) = ₹ 42
Cost of 5 m of cloth = ₹ 42 × 5 = ₹ 210.
Cost of 5 m of cloth = ₹ 210.

Question 15.
Divino earns ₹ 1500 in 10 days. How much will she earn in 30 days?
Solution:
Divino’s earning for 10 days = ₹ 1500
His earning in 1 day = \(\frac{1500}{10}\) = ₹ 150
Divino’s earning in 30 days = 150 × 30 = ₹ 4,500
Divino earns ₹ 4,500 in 30 days.

Question 16.
The temperature dropped 15 degree Celsius in the last 30 days. If the rate of temperature drop remains the same how many degrees will the temperature drop in the next 10 days?
Solution:
Temperature drop in 30 days = 15 degrees.
Temperature drop in 1 days = \(\frac{15}{30}=\frac{15 \div 15}{30 \div 15}=\frac{1}{2}\)
Temperature drop in next 10 days = \(\frac{1}{2} \times 10\) = 5 degrees
Hence temperature dropped 5 degrees in the next 10 days.

Question 17.
Shobana pays ₹ 7500 as rent for 3 months. How much does he has to pay for the whole year if the rent per month remains the same?
Solution:
Rent paid for 3 months = ₹ 7500
Rent paid in 1 month = \(\frac{7500}{3}\) = ₹ 2500
Rent paid for the whole year = 2500 × 12 = ₹ 30,000
Shobana has to pay ₹ 30, 000 for the whole year.

Question 18.
By proportionality law, check whether 3 : 2 and 30 : 20 are in proportion.
Solution:
Here the extremes are 3 and 20 and the means are 2 and 30.
Product of extremes, ad = 3 × 20 = 60.
Product of means, bc = 2 × 30 = 60.
Thus by proportionality law, we find ad = bc and hence 3 : 2 and 30 : 20 are in proportion.

(a) One of the angles is 90°
It is a right-angled triangle
(b) Since two sides are equal.
It is an isosceles triangle. Also m∠B = 90°
It is an Isosceles right-angled triangle

Question 2.
Classify the triangles (scalene, isosceles, equilateral) given below.
(a) ∆ABC, AB = BC
(b) ∆PQR, PQ = QR = RP
(c) ∆ABC, ∠B = 90°
(d) ∆EFG, EF = 3 cm, FG = 4 cm and GE = 3 cm
Solution:

(b) Equilateral triangle
(c) Right angled triangle
(d) Isosceles triangle

Question 3.
In triangle ∆ABC, AB = BC = CA = 5 cm. Then what is the value of ∠A, ∠B and ∠C?
Solution:
Since AB = BC = CA
∠A = ∠B = ∠C
We know that ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
∴ ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°

Question 4.
In ∆PQR, ∠P = ∠Q = ∠R = 60°, then what can you say about the length of sides of ∆PQR? Also, write the name of the triangle?
Solution:
∠P = ∠Q = ∠R = 60°
So PQ = QR = RP
∆PQR is equilateral triangle

(i) 3 matchsticks?
(ii) 4 matchsticks?
(iii) 5 matchsticks?
(iv) 6 matchsticks?
Name the type of triangle in each case. If you cannot make a triangle think of the reason for it.
Solution:

(b) (i) With the help of 3 matchsticks, we can make an equilateral triangle. Since all three matchsticks are of equal length.

(ii) With the help of 4 matchsticks, we cannot make any triangle because in this case, sum of two sides is equal to the third side and we know that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the length of the third side.
(iii) With the help of 5 matchsticks, we can make an isosceles triangle. Since we get two sides equal in this case.

(iv) With the help of 6 matchsticks, we can make an equilateral triangle. Since we get three sides equal in length.
