कृति 2: (स्वमत अभिव्यक्ति)

‘बढ़ती हुई जनसंख्या का मनुष्य जीवन पर प्रभाव’ के बारे में आपके विचार 25 से 30 शब्दों में लिखिए। (बोर्ड की नमूना कृतिपत्रिका)
उत्तर:
आज लगभग सभी देशों की जनसंख्या में बढ़ोत्तरी हो रही है। यह जनसंख्या वृद्धि आज संसार के समक्ष एक समस्या बन गई है। सभी देशों के संसाधन सीमित हैं और बढ़ी हुई जनसंख्या की माँग विशाल है, जिसकी पूर्ति करना संभव नहीं है। इसी का परिणाम है कि आज लोगों के सामने बेकारी की समस्या उत्पन्न हो गई है। जनसंख्या वृद्धि के कारण कृषि पर आधारित लोग परेशान हैं। खेती योग्य जमीन बँटती जा रही है।

अब वह इतने लोगों को रोटी देने में असमर्थ हो गई है। गाँवों की आबादी का बोझ शहरों पर आ पड़ा है। यहाँ शहरों में बेकारी की समस्या है। यहाँ भी लोग रोटी, कपड़ा, मकान की समस्याओं से जूझ रहे हैं। लोग गंदी बस्तियों में रहने के लिए मजबूर हैं। न इतने लोगों के लिए ढंग की शिक्षा व्यवस्था उपलब्ध हो पा रही है और न ही चिकित्सा व्यवस्था।

बढ़ती जनसंख्या ने देश की अर्थव्यवस्था बिगाड़ दी है। इस पर अंकुश लगाकर ही इस समस्या से छुटकारा पाया जा सकता है। तभी मनुष्य के जीवन स्तर में भी सुधार हो पाएगा।

(2) सही विकल्प चुनकर वाक्य फिर से लिखिए:
(i) बिलकुल चुपचाप बैठकर सिर्फ ………………………… बारे में सोचें। (मेरे/अपने/सबके)
(ii) दूसरों की सोच-समझ पर ………………………… रखें। (भरोसा/प्रेम/संदेह)
(iii) ………………………… अन्य नहीं, अंतमय है, हमारे ही प्रतिरूप, हमसे अलग या भिन्न नहीं। (दूसरा /सब/वह)
(iv) ………………………… तरह सारे मनुष्य केवल मनुष्य होते और कुछ नहीं। (इसी/उसी/किसी)
उत्तर:
(2) (i) बिलकुल चुपचाप बैठकर सिर्फ अपने बारे में सोचें।
(ii) दूसरों की सोच-समझ पर भरोसा रखें।
(iii) दूसरा अन्य नहीं, अंतमय है, हमारे ही प्रतिरूप, हमसे अलग या भिन्न नहीं।
(iv) उसी तरह सारे मनुष्य केवल मनुष्य होते और कुछ नहीं।

कृति 2: (स्वमत अभिव्यक्ति)

‘आत्मचिंतन के लाभ’ विषय में अपने विचार 25 से 30 शब्दों में लिखिए।
उत्तर:
आत्मचिंतन यानी स्वयं के विषय में चिंतन करना। आत्मचिंतन का अर्थ है किसी कार्य को करने या होने के बाद उसे करने के लिए अपनाई. गई क्रिया और विचार पद्धति का विश्लेषण। आत्मचिंतन के द्वारा हमें अपनी गलतियों से सीखने, साथ ही अपने किए गए कार्य को और बेहतर ढंग से करने का मौका मिलता है। किसी भी व्यक्ति को कोई दूसरा जितना सिखा सकता है, उससे कहीं अधिक वह अपने स्वाध्याय एवं आत्मचिंतन के द्वारा सीख सकता है। इस प्रक्रिया में हम शांत भाव से बैठकर किसी समस्या या मुद्दे के बारे में चिंतन कर सकते हैं।

छात्र जीवन में तो इसकी और भी अधिक आवश्यकता है। अपनी क्षमताओं के विषय में अच्छी तरह जाने-समझे बिना हम लक्ष्य निर्धारित कर लेते हैं। शीघ्रातिशीघ्र उसे प्राप्त कर लेना चाहते हैं और बाद में भटक जाते हैं। इसलिए पहले आत्मचिंतन करें, स्वयं को जानें, फिर लक्ष्य प्राप्ति का प्रयास करें।

उत्तर:

कृति 2: (स्वमत अभिव्यक्ति)

‘जीवन की सार्थकता के विषय में अपने विचार 25 से 30 शब्दों में लिखिए।
उत्तर:
ईश्वर ने हमें सर्वश्रेष्ठ योनि अर्थात मानव योनि में जन्म दिया है। हमारा कर्तव्य है कि हम मानव जाति के लिए कुछ अच्छा कार्य करें। हमें जितनी आयु मिली है, वह समय हम अच्छे कार्यों को करने में लगाएँ। कुछ ऐसा काम करें जिससे समाज और देश का हित हो।

कुछ लोग समय की कमी की बात करते हैं। लेकिन यदि कुछ करने की लगन हो तो समय आड़े नहीं आता। स्वामी विवेकानंद 40 वर्ष की आयु से भी पहले इस संसार से चले गए। ईसा मसीह का 30 वर्ष की आयु में ही प्राणांत हो गया। रामानुजम, रानी लक्ष्मीबाई, नेपोलियन, सिकंदर और अन्य अनेक अल्पायु में ही इस असार संसार को छोड़ गए, फिर भी मानव इतिहास में, ये महापुरुष अपनी छाप छोड़ गए।

सीमित समय में भी जितना अधिक-से-अधिक अच्छा हो सके, हमें देश व समाज के कल्याण के लिए कुछ सकारात्मक अवश्य करना चाहिए।

कृति 2: (स्वमत अभिव्यक्ति)

→ ‘जो हम शौक से करना चाहते हैं, उसके लिए रास्ते निकाल लेते हैं, इसका सोदाहरण अर्थ 25 से 30 शब्दों में लिखिए।
उत्तर:
जिन कामों या चीजों का हमें शौक होता है, जिसमें हमारी रुचि होती है, उसके लिए हम समय, विधा सब निकाल लेते हैं। रुचि सफलता की वाहक है। हम सभी अपनी रुचि के कामों को करते समय उसमें डूब जाते हैं। उसी का परिणाम होता है सफलता। शिक्षा काल में जिस विषय में हमारी रुचि होती है, उसे पढ़ने में हम सारी रात भी जग लेते हैं, जबकि किसी ऐसे विषय की पुस्तक खोलते ही आँखें नींद से भर आती हैं, जो हमें पसंद न हो।

व्यायाम, तैराकी, बागवानी, चित्रकला, गायन, वादन आदि ऐसे अनेक कार्य हैं, जिनका यदि शौक हो तो मनुष्य घंटों बिताने पर भी उनसे ऊब अनुभव नहीं करता। किसी भी काम में सफलता प्राप्त करने के लिए उसमें रुचि होना परम आवश्यक है। बिना रुचि के आगे बढ़ने की संभावना बहुत कम होती है। जिस काम में हमारी रुचि होती है, उसे करने के लिए हम अपनी सारी ऊर्जा लगा देते हैं। न दिन देखते हैं, न ही रात। थकान शब्द तो मानो हमारे शब्दकोश में कभी था ही नहीं।

→ ‘कंप्यूटर ज्ञान का महासागर’ विषय पर तर्कपूर्ण चर्चा कीजिए।
उत्तर:
कंप्यूटर इस पृथ्वी पर कल्पवृक्ष के समान है। जीवन का कोई भी ऐसा क्षेत्र नहीं है, जहाँ इसका महत्व न हो। सूचना के क्षेत्र में कंप्यूटर के कारण अद्भुत क्रांति आ गई है। इंटरनेट इसकी अनुपम देन है। दुनियाभर की जानकारी हम मिनटों में प्राप्त कर सकते हैं। यह एक सेकंड में दस हजार करोड़ गणितीय गणना कर सकता है।

चाहे मौसम का पूर्वानुमान हो या प्राकृतिक गैस और खनिज भंडारों का पता लगाना हो, रेलगाड़ियों और हवाईजहाजों का आरक्षण कराना हो या संसारभर की जानकारी प्राप्त करनी हो, कंप्यूटर के द्वारा घर बैठे हम मिनटों में कर सकते हैं। यह समय-समय पर भौगोलिक सूचनाओं से संबंधित जानकारी भी देता है। मुद्रण व प्रसारण के क्षेत्र में इसका योगदान असीमित है।

कंप्यूटर एक चालक की भाँति वायुयान का संचालन करता है। चालक के बटन दबाते ही कंप्यूटर स्वयं गति और दिशा का निर्धारण कर लेता है। शिक्षा के क्षेत्र में तो आज कंप्यूटर एक अनिवार्यता बन गया है।

→ महानगरीय/ग्रामीण दिनचर्या के लाभ तथा हानि के बारे में अपने अनुभव के आधार पर लिखिए।
उत्तर:
गाँवों में आज भी खुला आसमान है। वहाँ का वातावरण शुद्ध, प्रकृति की गोद में है, जबकि महानगरों में आसमान दिखाई नहीं पड़ता। बड़े पैमाने पर वाहनों से होने वाला प्रदूषण, लगातार होने वाला शोर, भीड़ और धुआँ असहज महसूस कराता है। भीड़भाड़, ट्रैफिक जाम, और अपराध महानगरों में रोज की बात है। गाँवों में एक प्रकार का ठहराव है। शाम ढलते ही चारों ओर एक प्रकार का सन्नाटा पसर जाता है।

जबकि, महानगरों में जीवन हर समय गतिमान रहता है। देर रात तक ऑफिस, दुकानें खुली रहती हैं। बस, ट्रेन, टैक्सियाँ, स्कूटर्स सड़कों पर दौड़ते रहते हैं। गाँवों में धूप, हरियाली और शांति का आनंद प्राप्त कर सकते हैं। लोग आज भी गर्मजोशी से मिलते हैं। एक-दूसरे के दुख-तकलीफ में काम आते हैं। महानगरों में बहुत-से लोग पड़ोसी तक को नहीं पहचानते। दोस्तों, रिश्तेदारों के लिए समय नहीं निकाल पाते।

यहाँ लोगों के पास पैसा है, सुविधाएँ हैं, पर शांति कोसों दूर है। ग्रामीण लोगों का जीवन महानगरों की भागदौड़ से दूर एवं प्रकृति के करीब होता है। दूसरी ओर महानगरों में लोग हमेशा समय को पकड़ने के लिए दौड़ते रहते हैं। अति व्यस्तता के कारण तनाव, फिर स्वास्थ्य। संबंधी विभिन्न परेशानियाँ उन्हें घेर लेती हैं।

Answer:
Dr A. P.. Kalam was the son of an imam, a simple fisherman. He was born in Rameswaram on 15 October 1931. He went on to become the 11th President of India from 2002 to 2007. He was widely acclaimed as the ‘People’s President’. He was particularly fond of children and youth and made himself approachable to them at all times.

He was a student of Physics and aerospace engineering. He was a scientist and science administrator mainly at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for nearly four decades. He was intimately involved in India’s civilian space programme and military missile development efforts.

He is famous as the Missile Man of India for his work on the development of ballistic missile and launch vehicle technology. He also played a pivotal organisational, technical, and political role in India’s Pokhran-II nuclear tests in 1998, the first since the initial nuclear test by India in 1974.

He was the recipient of several prestigious awards, including the Bharat Ratna in 1997, India’s highest civilian honour.

Amongst his writings, the most famous are ‘Transcendence: My Spiritual Experiences with Pramukh Swamiji’, and ‘India 2020’.

While delivering a lecture at the Indian Institute of Management, Shillong, Kalam collapsed and died from an apparent cardiac arrest on 27uly 2015, aged 83. Thousands including national-level dignitaries attended the funeral ceremony held in his hometown of Rameswaram, where he was buried with full state honours.

Question 14.
(A) Draft a speech that you would give at your School Assembly convincing junior students that the secret of true happiness lies in Giving and Sharing more than in Receiving and Taking.

Write it with the appropriate steps in your notebook.
Answer:
Friends,
It is through experience I .have learned that ‘AS’ you give, so you live’.

There was a time in my life when I only wanted things. I was happy only when I received gifts. My main goal in life was to take as many things from others as I could.

But then one day, on the way to market, I saw a beggar boy running along the road. In his hand he held a loaf of bread. He ran to his mother, who was lying on the sidewalk. He sat next to her and started feeding her. It touched me deeply that this boy who must have been hungry himself, found greateroy in feeding his famished mother.

From that day onwards I started giving things to others. If I had two pens and someone wanted one, I would give it to him or her. I asked my mother to give my old clothes to a poor child from a nearby slum. For my birthday celebrations, instead of having a party, I went along with my mother to the temple and fed a line of beggars.

Giving things to others brings me greatoy and happiness. Receiving something gives temporary satisfaction. But reaching out to others and seeing them smile, sharing things with others and making it worthwhile – these are far more precious than any other personal possessions.

Thank you.

(B) Divide your class in two groups and have a Debate on the topic ‘Science and Spirituality can go hand in hand’.
Answer:
For (view):
Both science and spirituality study aspects of our world. Both require mental discipline. Both require belief in certain axioms and truths. Hence both are valid. Science is the body. Spirituality is the mind. Science explores the creations of God. Spirituality delves into the nature of God. Both are two sides of the same coin. Both complement each other.

It is inevitable therefore that science and spirituality go hand in hand.

Against (counterview):

Science requires factual knowledge. It is a component of millions of physical laws. Spirituality is a free bird that soars on the wings- of personal belief. It does not require proof. Only faith. How then can they be considered to be on the same plane? One is concrete; the other abstract. In order to draw upon spirituality, one may conjure up any image in the mind and be satisfied. Science seeks explanation in logical reasoning based upon unlimited past experiences and developed into a truth by considering experiment after experiment.

Question 1.
If sin θ = \(\frac { 7 }{ 25 } \), find the values of cos θ and tan θ.
Solution:
sin θ = \(\frac { 7 }{ 25 } \) … [Given]
We know that,
sin² θ + cos² θ = 1

…[Taking square root of both sides] Now, tan θ = \(\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}\)

Alternate Method:
sin θ = \(\frac { 7 }{ 25 } \) …(i) [Given]
Consider ∆ABC, where ∠ABC 90° and ∠ACB = θ.
sin θ = \(\frac { AB }{ AC } \) … (ii) [By definition]
∴ \(\frac { AB }{ AC } \) = \(\frac { 7 }{ 25 } \) … [From (i) and (ii)]

LetAB = 7k and AC = 25k
In ∆ABC, ∠B = 90°
∴ AB² + BC² = AC² … [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ (7k)² + BC² = (25k)²
∴ 49k² + BC² = 625k²
∴ BC² = 625k² – 49k²
∴ BC² = 576k²
∴ BC = 24k …[Taking square root of both sides]

Question 2.
If tan θ = \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \), find the values of sec θ and cos θ.
Solution:

Alternate Method:
tan θ = \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \) …(i)[Given]
Consider ∆ABC, where ∠ABC 90° and ∠ACB = θ.
tan θ = \(\frac { AB }{ BC } \) … (ii) [By definition]
∴ \(\frac { AB }{ BC } \) = \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \) … [From (i) and (ii)]

Let AB = 3k and BC 4k
In ∆ABC,∠B = 90°
∴ AB² + BC² = AC² …[Pythagoras theorem]
∴ (3k)² + (4k)² = AC²
∴ 9k² + 16k² = AC²
∴ AC² = 25k²
∴ AC = 5k …[Taking square root of both sides]

Question 3.
If cot θ = \(\frac { 40 }{ 9 } \), find the values of cosec θ and sin θ
Solution:

..[Taking square root of both sides]

Alternate Method:
cot θ = \(\frac { 40 }{ 9 } \) ….(i) [Given]
Consider ∆ABC, where ∠ABC = 90° and
∠ACB = θ
cot θ = \(\frac { BC }{ AB } \) …(ii) [By defnition]
∴ \(\frac { BC }{ AB } \) = \(\frac { 40 }{ 9 } \) ….. [From (i) and (ii)]
Let BC = 40k and AB = 9k

In ∆ABC, ∠B = 90°
∴ AB² + BC² = AC² … [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ (9k)² + (40k)² = AC²
∴ 81k² + 1600k² = AC²
∴ AC² = 1681k²
∴ AC = 41k … [Taking square root of both sides]

Question 4.
If 5 sec θ – 12 cosec θ = θ, find the values of sec θ, cos θ and sin θ.
Solution:
5 sec θ – 12 cosec θ = 0 …[Given]
∴ 5 sec θ = 12 cosec θ

Question 5.
If tan θ = 1, then find the value of

Solution:
tan θ = 1 … [Given]
We know that, tan 45° = 1
∴ tan θ = tan 45°
∴ θ = 45°

Question 6.
Prove that:
i. \(\frac{\sin ^{2} \theta}{\cos \theta}+\cos \theta=\sec \theta\)
ii. cos² θ (1+ tan² θ) = 1
iii. \(\sqrt{\frac{1-\sin \theta}{1+\sin \theta}}=\sec \theta-\tan \theta\)
iv. (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ) tan θ. sec θ
v. cot θ + tan θ cosec θ. sec θ
vi. \(\frac{1}{\sec \theta-\tan \theta}=\sec \theta+\tan \theta\)
vii. sin⁴ θ – cos⁴ θ = 1 – 2 cos² θ
viii. \(\sec \theta+\tan \theta=\frac{\cos \theta}{1-\sin \theta}\)

Proof:
i. L.H.S. = \(\frac{\sin ^{2} \theta}{\cos \theta}+\cos \theta\)

ii. L.H.S. = cos² θ(1 + tan² θ)
= cos² θ sec² θ …[∵ 1 + tan² θ = sec² θ]

= 1
= R.H.S.
∴ cos² θ (1 + tan² θ) = 1

iv. L.H.S. = (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ)

∴ (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ) = tan θ. sec θ

v. L.H.S. = cot θ + tan θ

∴ cot θ + tan θ = cosec θ.sec θ

vii. L.H.S. = sin⁴ θ – cos⁴ θ
= (sin² θ)² – (cos² θ)²
= (sin² θ + cos² θ) (sin² θ – cos² θ)
= (1) (sin² θ – cos² θ) ….[∵ sin² θ + cos² θ = 1]
= sin² θ – cos² θ
= (1 – cos² θ) – cos² θ …[θ sin² θ = 1 – cos² θ]
= 1 – 2 cos² θ
= R.H.S.
∴ sin⁴ θ – cos⁴ θ = 1 – 2 cos² θ

viii. L.H.S. = sec θ + tan θ

xi. L.H.S. = sec⁴ A (1 – sin⁴ A) – 2 tan² A
= sec⁴ A [1² – (sin² A)²] – 2 tan² A
= sec⁴ A (1 – sin²A) (1 + sin² A) – 2 tan² A
= sec⁴ A cos²A (1 + sin² A) – 2 tan²A
[ ∵ sin² θ + cos² θ = 1 ,∵ 1 – sin² θ = cos² θ]

iii L (1, 2), M (5, 3), N (8, 6)
Solution:

∴ slope of line AB = slope of line BC
∴ line AB || line BC
Also, point B is common to both the lines.
∴ Both lines are the same.
∴ Points A, B and C are collinear.

∴ slope of line PQ = slope of line QR
∴ line PQ || line QR
Also, point Q is common to both the lines.
∴ Both lines are the same.
∴ Points P, Q and R are collinear.

∴ slope of line LM ≠ slope of line MN
∴ Points L, M and N are not collinear.
[Note: Students can solve the above problems by using distance formula.]

Question 3.
Find the co-ordinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining P (0,6) and Q (12,20).
Solution:
P(x₁,y₁) = P (0, 6), Q(x₂, y₂) = Q (12, 20)
Here, x₁ = 0, y₁ = 6, x₂ = 12, y₂ = 20
∴ Co-ordinates of the midpoint of seg PQ

∴ The co-ordinates of the midpoint of seg PQ are (6,13).

Question 4.
Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points A (3, 8) and B (-9, 3) is divided by the Y-axis.
Solution:
Let C be a point on Y-axis which divides seg AB in the ratio m : n.
Point C lies on the Y-axis
∴ its x co-ordinate is 0.
Let C = (0, y)
Here A (x₁,y₁) = A(3, 8)
B (x₂, y₂) = B (-9, 3)
∴ By section formula,


∴ Y-axis divides the seg AB in the ratio 1 : 3.

Question 5.
Find the point on X-axis which is equidistant from P (2, -5) and Q (-2,9).
Solution:
Let point R be on the X-axis which is equidistant from points P and Q.
Point R lies on X-axis.
∴ its y co-ordinate is 0.
Let R = (x, 0)
R is equidistant from points P and Q.
∴ PR = QR

∴ (x – 2)² + [0 – (-5)]² = [x – (- 2)]² + (0 – 9)² …[Squaring both sides]
∴ (x – 2)² + (5)² = (x + 2)² + (-9)²
∴ 4 – 4x + x² + 25 = 4 + 4x + x² + 81
∴ – 8x = 56
∴ x = -7
∴ The point on X-axis which is equidistant from points P and Q is (-7,0).

Question 6.
Find the distances between the following points.
i. A (a, 0), B (0, a)
ii. P (-6, -3), Q (-1, 9)
iii. R (-3a, a), S (a, -2a)
Solution:
i. Let A (x₁, y₁) and B (x₂, y₂) be the given points.

Solution:
Let A (-3, 1), B (0, -2) and C (1, 3) be the vertices of the triangle.
Suppose O (h, k) is the circumcentre of ∆ABC.

∴ (h + 3)² + (k – 1)² = h² + (k + 2)²
∴ h² + 6h + 9 + k² – 2k + 1 = h² + k² + 4k + 4
∴ 6h – 2k + 10 = 4k + 4
∴ 6h – 2k – 4k = 4 – 10
∴ 6h – 6k = – 6
∴ h – k = -1 ,..(i)[Dividing both sides by 6]
OB = OC …[Radii of the same circle]

∴ h² + (k + 2)² = (h – 1)² + (k – 3)²
∴ h² + k² + 4k + 4 = h² – 2h + 1 + k² – 6k + 9
∴ 4k + 4 = -2h + 1 – 6k + 9
∴ 2h+ 10k = 6
∴ h + 5k = 3 …(ii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from (i), we get

∴ Points L, M, N are non collinear points.
We can construct a triangle through 3 non collinear points.
∴ The segment joining the given points form a triangle.
Since MN ≠ LN ≠ LM
∴ ∆LMN is a scalene triangle.
∴ The segments joining the points L, M and N will form a scalene triangle.

∴ The segments joining the points P, Q and R will not form a triangle.

iii. By distance formula,

∴ d(A, B) + d(B, C) + d(A, C) … [From (iii)]
∴ Points A, B, C are non collinear points.
We can construct a triangle through 3 non collinear points.
∴ The segment joining the given points form a triangle.
Since, AB = BC = AC

Solution:
P(x₁,y₁) = P(-12,-3),
Q(X₂,T₂) = Q(4, k)
Here, x₁ = -12, x₂ = 4, y₁ = -3, y₂ = k

But, slope of line PQ (m) is \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) ….[Given]
∴ \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) = \(\frac { k+3 }{ 16 } \)
∴ \(\frac { 16 }{ 2 } \) = k + 3
∴ 8 = k + 3
∴ k = 5
The value of k is 5.

Question 10.
Show that the line joining the points A (4,8) and B (5, 5) is parallel to the line joining the points C (2, 4) and D (1 ,7).

∴ x₁ + x₂ + x₃ = 3 …(vii)
Adding (ii), (iv) and (vi),
y₂ + y₃ + y₁ + y₃ + y₁ +y₂ = 12 + 10 – 4
∴ 2y₁ + 2y₂ + 2y₃ = 18

Solution:
Suppose, O (h, k) is the circumcentre of ∆ABC


∴ h² – 6h + 9 + k² – 10k + 25 = h² – 4h + 4 + k²
∴ 2h + 10k = 30
∴ h + 5k = 15 … (ii)[Dividing both sides by 2]
Multiplying equation (i) by 5, we get
25h + 5k = 115 …(iii)

Point R is the midpoint of seg QS.
By midpoint formula,
x co-ordinate of R = \(\frac { 12+4 }{ 2 } \) = \(\frac { 16 }{ 2 } \) = 8
y co-ordinate of R = \(\frac { 14+18 }{ 2 } \) = \(\frac { 32 }{ 2 } \) = 16
∴ co-ordinates of R are (8, 16).
Point Q is the midpoint of seg PR.
By midpoint formula,

∴ 28 = y₃ + 16
∴ y₃ = 12
∴ P(x₃,y₃) = (16, 12)
∴ co-ordinates of P are (16, 12).
Point P is the midpoint of seg AQ.
By midpoint formula,

∴ co-ordinates of A are (20, 10).
Point S is the midpoint of seg RB.
By midpoint formula,

∴ 36 = y₂ + 16
∴ y₂ = 20
∴ B(x₂, y₂) = (0, 20)

Solution:
Suppose O (h, k) is the centre of the circle passing through the points P, Q and R.

∴ (h – 6)² + (k + 6)² = (h – 3)² + (k + 7)²
∴ h² – 12h + 36 + k² + 12k + 36
= h² – 6h + 9 + k² + 14k + 49
∴ 6h + 2k = 14
∴ 3h + k = 7 …(i)[Dividing both sides by 2]
OP = OR …[Radii of the same circle]

∴ (h – 6)² + (k + 6)² = (h – 3)² + (k – 3)²
∴ h² – 12h + 36 + k² + 12k + 36
= h² – 6h + 9 + k² – 6k + 9
∴ 6h – 18k = 54
∴ 3h – 9k = 27 …(ii)[Dividing both sides by 2]
Subtracting equation (ii) from (i), we get

Substituting the value of k in equation (i), we get
3h – 2 = 7

Joan asked the Squire to give her a horse, an armour and some soldiers, and send her to the Dauphin. On hearing this, Robert angrily asked the steward why he had not told him that she was mad.

The steward told Robert to give Joan what she wanted. Robert then told Joan that he would send her back to her father with orders to lock her up. Joan replied that it wouldn’t happen that way; Robert had not wanted to see her, yet she had managed to see him.

Question 7.
Answer the following questions.
(a) The learned people were sometimes divided in their opinions, different persons giving quite different answers; at other times, none of them gave an answer. They all suggested ways to look for an answer. Point out one example of each.
Answer:
To know the right time for every action: Draw up in advance a table of days, months and years and live strictly according to it. The people the king most needed: Councillors The most important occupation: Science.

(b) Though the hermit did not say anything to the king for some time, he did not ignore the king or treat him rudely in any way. Do you agree? What evidence of his politeness can you point out? What shows that he listened and responded to the king’s words?
Answer:
I agree that though the hermit did not say anything to the king for some time, he did not ignore the king or treat him rudely in any way. His politeness is evident by the fact that he greeted the king. By spitting on his hand before he resumed digging, the hermit indicated that the work he was doing was more important and that the king would have to wait.

(c) The hermit ‘spoke only to common people’; so the king ‘put on simple clothes’. Do you think the king hoped to be mistaken for a common man, or was he just showing that he was a humble person? What shows that the hermit knew him to be the king?
Answer:
The king put on* simple clothes because he did not want the hermit to refuse to answer his questions. The king was aware that the hermit was wise and would know that he was the king and not mistake him for a common person. Out of humility and respect, the king dressed up like a commoner. We know that-the hermit knew that he was the king by the way he returned the king’s greeting.

(d) Did the king behave as an ordinary person, rather than as a ruler, at the hermit’s hut? What shows it? Did he also act as a good, kind person? When did he do so?
Answer:
Like any other ordinary person, the king tended to the wounded man. He even washed the wound and bandaged it many times. When required, he brought and gave the man water to drink. The king went out of his way to be good and kind to the man. All this happened after the wounded man came running, wounded, to the hermit’s hut.

(e) Do you think the hermit knew, beforehand, not only about the king’s arrival but about the ambush by his enemy? Think a little about this and say what you really feel.
Answer:
I think the hermit somehow knew everything before the king arrived. He must have known about the plan of the king’s enemy and so was able to deal with it purposefully when the king arrived. News about the ambush must definitely have come to his ears. Otherwise he would not have been able to answer the king’s questions in such a real and practical way. He was a hermit, a wise man, and nothing of importance would have escaped his consideration.

Question 12.
Narrate an experience of your own that has helped you to realise that ‘Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.’ Write it in your notebook, in about 20 lines.
Answer:
Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet!

It was Rousseau who said, ‘Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.’

I realized the truth of this statement when I was in Std. X. It was an important year for me. My school was far from my home. So were my classes. I had to spend a lot of time walking in order to reach either school or classes. This meant a lot of waste of precious time that I could use very well for study.

I was an only child and my father had passed away four years ago. My mother would tell me, ‘Have patience. Things will work out.’ But I really could not understand her.

The rainy months passed by with me trudging anxiously to school or to the classes. If I was lucky, someone would give me a lift, dy studies were suffering.

I was lagging behind in keeping up with homework and revision.

Then one day the postman delivered a letter. Mother read it in excitement.

‘You know what? There’s a good news. Your uncle from the US is coming to visit us. He is your dad’s brother. The last time he saw you was when you were j a baby.’

‘Oh,’ I said, wondering how that could be good for us. On the contrary, I would have to take my uncle visiting and that would take up more of the time I required for earnest study.

The day arrived. My uncle came over. A jolly fellow, full of stories and fun and small delightful gifts. In the afternoon I took his leave saying I had to go to school and then classes.

‘How are you going?’ he asked.
I put my head down and said, ‘Walking’.
‘Come, I’ll take you by autorickshaw,’ he said. And so we went.
‘It’s quite a distance,’ my uncle commented. I nodded silently.
In the evening when I came home, I could not believe my eyes.
There, resting against the wall was the most beautiful bicycle I had ever seen.
Mother and my uncle came out to greet me.
‘This is yours, boy. No more walking long distances for you!’
Tears welled up in my eyes and I ran and hugged my uncle.
‘Thank you so much,’ I said.
Indeed, my patience had been rewarded with sweet fruit!

Question 13.
After reading this story, develop a dialogue with 2 of your classmates about the characters in the story. Besides the tactful introduction to the conversation and write 8 to 10 sets of dialogues.
Answer:
My self: Hey, did you like the story, ‘Three Questions’?

Student 1: Yes, I was particularly impressed with the king. He was very humble. He was eager to know more about life.

My self: Yes, he did not claim that he knew everything just because he was king.

Student 2: I liked the hermit. He was quite a cool character.

My self: He was very wise. He knew beforehand that the king would come to him. He also knew the solution to the king’s problem, even before the incidents occurred.

Student 1: Yes. And the surprising thing is that the king indirectly got the answers to his questions from a long-forgotten enemy.

My self: The story is very cleverly written, woven around these three characters. One seeks answers to questions. One knows the answers to the questions. One is the medium through which the answers are given.

Student 2: If the king’s bodyguards had not attacked the man, he would not have come to the hermit’s hut and met the king.

My self: If the man had not been wounded and the king had not bandaged his wounds and saved his life, the man would not have forgiven him for a cruel wrongdoing in the past.

Student 1: Yes, Leo Tolstoy wanted to give us the message of forgiveness and doing good even to our enemies. Through the three characters in the story and their interactions, the writer brought out his message very well.

My sfelf : Indeed, a well-written story, and one from which we learn such a lot!

Question 14.
From the library or Internet, read the story ‘How much land does a man need?’ by Leo Tolstoy and write a review of the same, covering the following points.
Background of the story
Characters
Plot/Theme
Climax
Message/Moral
Answer:
The climax of the story is that the person whom the king had wronged by executing his brother years ago, finally forgave him. This is because the king had saved his life.

(a) rose got up from a sitting or kneeling position a flower
(b) sink drop downwards go down below the surface of a liquid
(c) bed a garden plot a piece of furniture for resting
(d) rest to cease work in order to relax or sleep the remaining part

By saving the life of the wounded man, who was in fact the king’s enemy, the king passes on to us the message that the most important thing in life is to do good to others, because it is for that purpose alone we were sent into this life.

Question 15.
