योग्यताविस्तार :

समास – समसनं समासः

समास का शाब्दिक अर्थ होता है – संक्षेप। दो या दो से अधिक शब्दों के मिलने से जो नया और संक्षिप्त रूप बनता है, वह समास कहलाता है। समास के मुख्यतः चार भेद हैं –

1. अव्ययीभाव
2. तत्पुरुष
3. बहुव्रीहि
4. द्वन्द्व

1. अव्ययीभाव – 

इस समास में पहला पद अव्यय होता है और वही प्रधान होता है और समस्तपद अव्यय बन जाता है।
यथा – निर्मक्षिकम्-मक्षिकाणाम् अभावः।
यहाँ प्रथमपद निर् है और द्वितीयपद मक्षिकम् है। यहाँ मक्षिका की प्रधानता न होकर मक्षिका का अभाव प्रधान है, अतः यहाँ अव्ययीभाव समास है। कुछ अन्य उदाहरण देखें –

  1. उपग्रामम् – ग्रामस्य समीपे – (समीपता की प्रधानता)
  2. निर्जनम् – जनानाम् अभावः – (अभाव की प्रधानता)
  3. अनुरथम् – रथस्य पश्चात् – (पश्चात् की प्रधानता)
  4. प्रतिगृहम् – गृहं गृहं प्रति – (प्रत्येक की प्रधानता)
  5. यथाशक्ति – शक्तिम् अनतिक्रम्य – (सीमा की प्रधानता)
  6. सचक्रम् – चक्रेण सहितम् – (सहित की प्रधानता)

JAC Class 10 Sanskrit Solutions Chapter 1 शुचिपर्यावरणम्

2. तत्पुरुष –

‘प्रायेण उत्तरपदार्थप्रधानः तत्पुरुषः’ इस समास में प्रायः उत्तरपद की प्रधानता होती है और पूर्व पद उत्तरपद के विशेषण का कार्य करता है। समस्तपद में पूर्वपद की विभक्ति का लोप हो जाता है।
यथा – राजपुरुषः अर्थात् राजा का पुरुष। यहाँ राजा की प्रधानता न होकर पुरुष की प्रधानता है।

  1. ग्रामगतः – ग्रामं गतः।
  2. शरणागतः – शरणम् आगतः।
  3. देशभक्तः, – देशस्य भक्तः।
  4. सिंहभीतः – सिंहात् भीतः।
  5. भयापनः – भयम् आपन्नः।
  6. हरित्रातः – हरिणा त्रातः। तत्पुरुष समास के दो प्रमुख भेद हैं-कर्मधारय और द्विगु।

(ii) कर्मधारय – इस समास में एक पद विशेष्य तथा दूसरा पद पहले पद का विशेषण होता है। विशेषण विशेष्य भाव के अतिरिक्त उपमान उपमेय भाव भी कर्मधारय समास का लक्षण है।
यथा – पीताम्बरम् – पीतं च तत् अम्बरम्।
महापुरुषः – महान् च असौ पुरुषः।
कज्जलमलिनम् – कज्जलम् इव मलिनम्।
नीलकमलम् – नीलं च तत् कमलम्।
मीननयनम् – मीन इव नयनम्।
मुखकमलम् – कमलम् इव मुखम्।

(ii) द्विगु- ‘संख्यापूर्वो द्विगुः’ इस समास में पहला पद संख्यावाची होता है और समाहार (एकत्रीकरण या समूह) अर्थ की प्रधानता होती है।
यथा – त्रिभुजम् – त्रयाणां भुजानां समाहारः। इसमें पूर्वपद ‘त्रि’ संख्यावाची है।
पंचपात्रम् – पंचानां पात्राणां समाहारः।
पंचवटी – पंचानां वटानां समाहारः।
सप्तर्षिः . – सप्तानां ऋषीणां समाहारः।
चतुर्युगम् – चतुर्णा युगानां समाहारः।

JAC Class 10 Sanskrit Solutions Chapter 1 शुचिपर्यावरणम्

3. बहुव्रीहि –

‘अन्यपदार्थप्रधानः बहुब्रीहिः’ इस समास में पूर्व तथा उत्तर पदों की प्रधानता न होकर किसी अन्य पद की प्रधानता होती है।

यथा –
पीताम्बरः – पीतम् अम्बरम् यस्य सः (विष्णुः)। यहाँ न तो पीतम् शब्द की प्रधानता है और न अम्बरम्
शब्द की अपितु पीताम्बरधारी किसी अन्य व्यक्ति (विष्णु) की प्रधानता है।
नीलकण्ठः – नीलः कण्ठः यस्य सः (शिवः)।
दशाननः – दश आननानि यस्य सः (रावण:)।
अनेककोटिसारः – अनेककोटिः सारः (धनम्) यस्य सः।
विगलितसमृद्धिम् – विगलिता समृद्धिः यस्य तम् (पुरुषम्)।
प्रक्षालितपादम् – प्रक्षालितौ पादौ यस्य तम् (जनम्)।

4. द्वन्द्व –

‘उभयपदार्थप्रधानः द्वन्द्वः’ इस समास में पूर्वपद और उत्तरपद दोनों की समान रूप से प्रधानता होती है। पदों के बीच में ‘च’ का प्रयोग विग्रह में होता है।
यथा –
रामलक्ष्मणौ – रामश्च लक्ष्मणश्च।
पितरौ – माता च पिता च।
धर्मार्थकाममोक्षाः – धर्मश्च, अर्थश्च, कामश्च, मोक्षश्च।
वसन्तग्रीष्मशिशिरा: – वसन्तश्च ग्रीष्मश्च शिशिरश्च।

JAC Class 10 Sanskrit Solutions Chapter 1 शुचिपर्यावरणम्

भावविस्तार –

पर्यावरण-परिभाषा – ‘आवियते परितः लोकोऽनेनेति पर्यावरणम्’ [चूँकि इसके द्वारा लोक को ढका (घेरा या आच्छादित किया) जाता है अतः पर्यावरण कहलाता है।
पृथ्वी, जल, तेज, वायु और आकाश ये पाँच महाभूत प्रकृति के प्रमुख तत्त्व हैं। इन पाँच तत्त्वों से ही पर्यावरण की रचना होती है। जो चारों ओर से लोक को घेरता या आच्छादित करता (ढकता) है, वह पर्यावरण है।
शुद्ध और प्रदूषणरहित पर्यावरण हमें सब प्रकार के जीवन के सुख देता है। हमारे द्वारा सदैव ऐसे प्रयत्न किए जाने चाहिए जिससे जल, स्थल और आकाश निर्मल हों। पर्यावरण सम्बन्धी कुछ श्लोक नीचे लिखे हुए हैं –

यथा – पृथिवीं परितो व्याप्य तामाच्छाद्य स्थितं च यत्।
जगदाधाररूपेण, पर्यावरणमुच्यते।।

अनुवाद – जगत् के आधार के रूप में पृथ्वी के चारों ओर व्याप्त और उसको घेरकर जो स्थित है, पर्यावरण कहलाता है।

प्रदूषण के विषय में –

सृष्टौ स्थितौ विनाशे च नृविज्ञैर्बहुनाशकम्।
पञ्चतत्त्वविरुद्धं यत्साधितं तत्प्रदूषणम्।।

अनुवाद – सृष्टि की स्थिति और विनाश में बुद्धिमान् मनुष्यों द्वारा पंचतत्त्वों के विरुद्ध बहुत अधिक विनाशकारी जो साधा जाता है अर्थात् किया जाता है, वह प्रदूषण है।

वायुप्रदूषण के विषय में –

प्रक्षिप्तो वाहनधूमः कृष्णे बह्वपकारकः।
दुष्टैरसायनैर्युक्तो घातकः श्वासरुग्वहः।।

अनुवाद – वाहनों द्वारा फेंके गए (निकाले गए) काले धुएँ में घातक हानिकारक रसायनों से युक्त बहुत-से अपशिष्ट श्वास रोगों के वाहक होते हैं।

जल-प्रदूषण के विषय में –

यन्त्रशाला परित्यक्तैर्नगरे दूषितद्रवैः।
नदीनदौ समुदाश्च प्रक्षिप्तैर्दूषणं गताः।।

अनुवाद – कारखानों द्वारा छोड़े गए और नगरों के दूषित द्रवों (जलों) के नदी, नालों और समुद्रों में डाले जाने के द्वारा (फेंकने से) इनके जल दूषित किए जाते हैं।

प्रदूषण-निवारण एवं संरक्षण के लिए –

शोधनं रोपणं रक्षावर्धनं वायुवारिणः।
वनानां वन्यवस्तूनां भूमेः संरक्षणं वरम्।।

JAC Class 10 Sanskrit Solutions Chapter 1 शुचिपर्यावरणम्

अनुवाद – वायु, जल की शुद्धि, वन्यवस्तुओं तथा भूमि के संरक्षण के लिए वनों का लगाना तथा रक्षापूर्वक उनकी वृद्धि करना श्रेष्ठ उपाय है।
ये पाँचों श्लोक पर्यावरण काव्य से संकलित हैं।

शुचिपर्यावरणम् Summary and Translation in Hindi

पाठ-परिचय – निरन्तर बढते हए पर्यावरण-प्रदषण से आज सम्पूर्ण विश्व पीडित है। पथ्वी, जल, व तेज सभी तो प्रदूषित हो गए हैं। मानव मन को शान्ति कहाँ मिले। विश्वव्यापी इसी समस्या से अनुप्रेरित होकर आधुनिक संस्कृत-कवि हरिदत्त शर्मा ने यह कविता लिखी है। ‘शुचिपर्यावरणम्’ उनके ‘लसल्लतिका’ गीत-संग्रह में संकलित है। इसमें कवि महानगरों की यान्त्रिक बहुलता से बढ़ते प्रदूषण पर चिन्ता व्यक्त करते हुए कहता है कि यह लौहचक्र तन-मन का शोषक है, जिससे वायु-मण्डल और भूमण्डल दोनों मलिन हो रहे हैं। प्रस्तुत कविता के प्रथम तीन श्लोकों में कवि ने यान्त्रिक वृद्धि के कारण प्रदूषित पर्यावरण तथा वायुमण्डल प्रदूषण का वर्णन किया है, चौथे से सातवें श्लोकों में कवि शुद्ध जलवायु-युक्त हरे-भरे वृक्षों से घिरे पक्षियों की संगीत लहरी से गुंजित शुद्ध-पर्यावरण में जाने की अभिलाषा करता है।

मूलपाठः, अन्वयः,शब्दार्थाः, सप्रसंग हिन्दी-अनुवादः

1 दुर्वहमत्र जीवितं जातं प्रकृतिरेव शरणम्।
शुचि-पर्यावरणम्॥
महानगरमध्ये चलदनिशं कालायसचक्रम्।
मनः शोषयत् तनुः पेषयद् भ्रमति सदा वक्रम्॥
दुर्दान्तैर्दशनैरमुना स्यान्नैव जनग्रसनम् ॥ शुचि…. ॥1॥

अन्वयः – अत्र जीवितं दुर्वहं जातं, (अत:) प्रकृतिः, शुचि-पर्यावरणम् एव शरणम्। कालायसचक्रम् अनिशं महानगरमध्ये चलत्, मनः शोषयत्, तनुः पेषयत् सदा वक्रम् भ्रमति, अमुना दुर्दान्तैः दशनैः जनग्रसनम् एव स्यात्। शुचिपर्यावरणमेव शरणम्।

शब्दार्थाः – अत्र = अस्मिन् संसारे (यहाँ, इस संसार में), जीवितम् = जीवनम् (जीवन), दुर्वहम् = दुष्करम् (कठिन, दूभर), जातम् = भूतं, उत्पन्नम् (हो गया है), अतः प्रकृतिः = अतः प्राकृतिकस्थलम् (अतः प्रकृति), शुचि-पर्यावरणम् एव = शुद्ध-पर्यावरणम् एव (स्वच्छ, शुद्ध वातावरण ही), शरणम् = आश्रयः (आश्रय योग्य है) अर्थात् शुद्ध पर्यावरण की शरण में ही जाना चाहिए। कालायसचक्रम् = लौहचक्रम् (लोहे का पहिया), अनिशम् = अहर्निशम् (दिन-रात), महानगरमध्ये = विशाल नगरेषु, महत्सु नगरेषु (महानगरों में), चलत् = गतिमत्, प्रवृत्तमानम् (चलता हुआ), मनः शोषयत् = मनसः शोषणं कुर्वत् (मन का शोषण करता हुआ), तनुः = शरीरम् (शरीर को), पेषयद् = पिष्टीकुर्वत् (पीसता हुआ), सदा = सर्वदा, सदैव (हमेशा, सदैव), वक्रम् = कुटिलम् (टेढ़ा-मेढ़ा, वक्रगति से), भ्रमति = घूर्णति (घूमता है), अमुना = अनेन (इसके द्वारा), दुर्दान्तः = विकरालैः, भयङ्करैः (विकराल), दशनैः = दन्तैः (दाँतों से), जन-ग्रसनम् एव = मानवानां भक्षणम्, नीगीर्णनिम् एव (मानव का विनाश ही), स्यात् = भवेत् (होना चाहिए, होगा), अतः शुचि-पर्यावरणम् एव = शुद्धं वातावरणमेव (स्वच्छ जलवायु ही), शरणम् = आश्रयः (एकमात्र सहारा है।)

सन्दर्भ – प्रसङ्गश्च – यह गीतांश हमारी ‘शेमुषी’ पाठ्यपुस्तक के ‘शुचि पर्यावरणम्’ पाठ से लिया गया है। यह पाठ प्रो. हरिदत्त शर्मा-रचित ‘लसल्लतिका’ गीतिसंग्रह से सङ्कलित है। इस पाठ में कवि पर्यावरण प्रदूषण के आधार पर लिखता

हिन्दी-अनुवादः – इस संसार में जीवन दूभर हो गया है, अतः प्रकृति का शुद्ध-पर्यावरण ही (एकमात्र) सहारा है अर्थात् शुद्ध पर्यावरण की शरण में ही जाना चाहिए। (यह) लोहे का पहिया (यन्त्रजाल) दिन-रात महानगरों में चलता हुआ, मन का शोषण करता हुआ, शरीर को पीसता हुआ हमेशा टेढ़ा-मेढ़ा वक्रगति से घूमता है। इसके विकराल दाँतों द्वारा मानव का विनाश ही (किया जा रहा है) होगा। अतः शुद्ध पर्यावरण की शरण में ही जाना चाहिए।

Question 1.
Why is diffusion insufficient to meet the oxygen requirement of multicellular organisms like humans?
Answer:
In multicellular organisms like human, all the cells are not in direct contact with the s surrounding environment. The body structure is more complex and the body size is also large. Therefore, simple diffusion will not be sufficient to s send oxygen to every cell.

Question 16.
What are the components of the i transport system in highly organised plants?
Answer:
Xylem tissue (vessels and tracheids) and phloem tissue (sieve tube and companion cell) are the components of the transport system in highly organised plants.

Question 17.
How are water and minerals transported in plants?
Answer:
Water conducting channels : Xylem consists of vessels and tracheids, which form continuous water conducting channel.

Absorption of water by the roots : The root cells actively take up ions from soil. This creates a difference in the concentration of these ions between the root and the soil. Water, therefore moves into the root from the soil to eliminate this difference.

Column of water : To eliminate the concentration difference between the soil and the root, the steady movement of water into root creates column of water.

Conduction of water by root pressure : Due to absorption of water by root cells, a pressure is generated to push water in xylem element.

This pressure is insufficient to move water over the heights of plants. So, plants use another strategy to move water in xylem upwards to the highest points of the plant body.

Conduction of water by transpiration pull : The loss of water in the form of vapour from the aerial parts of the plant is known as transpiration.

The water which is lost through the stomata is replaced by water from the xylem vessels in the leaf. Evaporation of water molecules from the cells of a leaf creates a sunction which pulls water from the xylem cells of roots.

During the day when the stomata are open, the transpiration pull becomes the major driving force in the movement of water in the xylem.

At night effect of root pressure is necessary for the upward flow of water.

Thus, transpiration helps in absorption and upward movement of water and minerals dissolved in it from roots to the leaves.
JAC Class 10 Science Solutions Chapter 6 Life Processes 3

Question 18.
How is food transported in plants?
Answer:
The transport of soluble products of photosynthesis is called translocation.

  • Translocation occurs in the part of the vascular tissue known as phloem.
  • Besides, the products of photosynthesis, the phloem transports amino acids and other substances. These substances are especially delivered to roots, fruits, seeds and to growing organs where it is stored.
  • The translocation of food and other substances takes place in the sieve tubes with the help of adjacent companion cells both in upward and downward directions.
  • The translocation in phloem is achieved by utilising energy.
  • Sucrose (Sugar / Carbohydrate) is transferred into phloem tissue using energy from ATP. This increases the osmotic pressure of the tissue causing water to move into it.
  • This pressure moves the material in the phloem to tissues having less pressure. The phloem thus moves material according to the plant’s need.

Example: In the spring, sugar stored in root or stem tissue is transported to the buds which need energy to grow.

Question 19.
Describe the structure and functioning of nephrons.
Answer:
Nephron is a basic filtration unit in the kidneys.

  • Each kidney has large numbers of nephrons packed closely together.
  • Nephron is a long-coiled tubular structure which begins with a cup-shaped end. called Bowman’s capsule and it ends in collecting tubule.
  • A cluster of very thin-walled blood capillaries seen in the Bowman’s capsule is called glomerulus.
    JAC Class 10 Science Solutions Chapter 6 Life Processes 4

The purpose of making urine is to filter out waste products from blood.

  • Nitrogenous wastes such as urea, uric acid, etc. are removed from blood in the kidneys.
  • Urine is produced by filtration units i.e., nephrons.
  • Cup-shaped Bowman’s capsule collects the filtrate.
  • Some substances in the initial filtrate, such as glucose, amino acids, salts and a major amount of water are selectively reabsorbed as the urine flows along the coiled tube.
  • The amount of water reabsorbed depends on the amount of water present in the body and amount of dissolved waste which is to be excreted.
  • Thus, urine is formed in both kidneys. [In a normal healthy adult, the initial filtrate in the kidneys is about 180 L daily. However, the s volume of excreted urine is only a litre or two per day. The remaining filtrate is reabsorbed ; in the kidney tubules.]

Question 20.

Unlike animals, the plants do not possess any special organs or system for excretion. However, the plants excrete their wastes in different ways:

  • O2 produced during photosynthesis by the green plants is set free directly in the atmosphere.
  • Plants remove surplus water by the process of transpiration through the stomata.
  • Sometimes plants store certain wastes in the cells of their leaves which are ultimately shed off.
  • Certain plants store wastes in the cellular vacuoles of their cells.
  • Other waste products such as resin and gum are stored especially in old xylem.
  • Plants excrete some waste substances into the soil around them.

Question 21.
How is the amount of urine produced regulated?
Answer:
The amount of urine formed depends on how much excess water there is in the body, and on how much of dissolved waste there is to be excreted. More water and dissolved wastes in the body will produce more urine. On the other hand, less water and less dissolved wastes will produced less urine.

Question 2.
Give scientific reasons for the following statements:
(1) Proper transportation (conducting) system is necessary in higher plants.
Answer:
The green leaves of plants obtain CO2 from the atmosphere and synthesize carbohydrates. The plants, through their roots, absorb water and other raw mineral elements essential for the constitution of the body, from the soil.

In higher plants the distance between the roots and the leaves being more, the water, mineral elements and the products of photosynthesis cannot be sent to all the different parts of the plant body, merely by diffusion from cell to cell. Therefore, in order to distribute all these substances rapidly and timely, a proper transportation (conducting) system is necessary in higher plants.

(2) In very tall plants, the suction force created due to transpiration is the main conducting force for water and mineral ions through the xylem.
Answer:
The xylem tissue in all the organs of a plant remains connected to each other and forms a continuous path for the flow of water, etc. Thus, a continuous water column is formed therein.

Mere root pressure, created in small herbs, is not sufficient to push water and minerals to the great height of very tall plants. The plants adopt another way to reach the target of fulfilling the water requirement. Evaporation of water molecules in the form of vapour occurs through stomata.

Due to that a suction force arises in the cells of leaves. This suction force comes into being from the cells of the leaves and is gradually experienced in the xylem of roots. As a result, the water column in the xylem rises up. Hence in very tall plants, the suction force created due to transpiration is the main conducting force for water and mineral ions through the xylem.

(3) Translocation in the phloem takes place in both upward and downward directions.
Answer:
The phloem transports amino acids, various plant hormones and other organic substances in addition to the products of photosynthesis.

Carbohydrates are synthesized in the leaves due to photosynthesis. These carbohydrates are transported to the roots and stem through phloem. The plant hormones synthesized in shoot apex flow downwards through the phloem and the plant hormones synthesized in the root apex and the food reserve stored in roots are transported upwards through the phloem. Thus, the translocation in the phloem takes place in both, upward and downward directions.

(4) The right side chambers of the heart have deoxygenated blood and left side chambers have oxygenated blood in them.
Answer:
The four-chambered heart, in man, is formed of two atria and two ventricles. All the four chambers of the heart are separated from each other by septa.

Deoxygenated blood from different organs of the body (except lungs) is brought through s superior and inferior vena cava and poured in the right atrium and then into the right ventricle, Similarly oxygenated blood from the two lungs is brought through pulmonary veins and poured in the left atrium and then into the left ventricle.

The four-chambered heart prevents the mixing of oxygenated blood with deoxygenated blood. Hence, the right side chambers of the heart have deoxygenated blood and the left side chambers have oxygenated blood in them.

(5) Lymph separates from the blood and remixes with the blood.
Answer:
The lymph oozes out through the pores in thin walls of the blood capillaries, as a fluid from the blood flowing through the capillaries. It flows very slowly in the intercellular spaces between the tissue cells. The intercellular spaces have no walls of their own and are called lymph capillaries.

These lymph capillaries meet and join with each other to form larger ones which finally open in a vein to pour its contents. Thus, lymph, as a colourless watery fluid collects in a large lymph vessels that finally open in particular veins S in the body to pour its contents back in blood.

(6) The wall of the artery is thick and elastic while that of vein is relatively thin.
Answer:
The arteries carry blood from the heart towards different organs. When the ventricles contract, the blood is pushed in the arteries under high pressure. In order to withstand this pressure, the arteries must have thick and elastic walls. The veins receive blood from different organs and carry it to the heart. The blood in the veins flows at relatively low pressure. Hence, the wall of the veins is relatively thin and less elastic.

(7) The organisms possessing chlorophyll are autotrophs.
Answer:
The organisms, possessing chlorophyll, can trap and utilize the solar energy to synthesize their own food using CO2 and water. This process of trapping the solar energy for synthesis of ones own food is called photosynthesis and the mode of nutrition of such organisms is called autotrophic. In photosynthesis, the food synthesized is the simplest hexose sugar-glucose, which is utilized for obtaining energy. The surplus glucose is stored as reserve food in the form of starch. Hence, the organisms possessing chlorophyll are autotrophs.

(8) The stomata in leaves keep on opening and closing.
Answer:
On one or both the surfaces of the leaves of flowering plants, there are numerous stomata as minute pores. Each of these pores is guarded by a pair of guard cells. The opening and closing of the stomata is controlled by these guard cells, which contain chloroplasts.

When water enters the guard cells, the latter swell and cause the opening of stomata and when the guard cells lose water, the guard cells contract and cause the closing of stomata. Thus, the stomata in leaves keep on opening and closing due to entry and exit of water in the guard cells.

(9) The parasitic mode of nutrition is harmful for the host organism.
Answer:
In parasitic nutrition, one organism depends fully for obtaining its nutritional needs, directly on other living organism. The latter is called a host from whom the parasite directly obtains food. The parasitic organism keeps close contact with the host and sucks or absorbs nutrients from its body. The host goes on becoming weaker physically and physiological. The health of host thus is affected. Thus, the parasitic mode of nutrition is harmful for the host organism.

(10) HCl (Hydrochloric acid) is an important constituent of gastric juice.
Answer:
For the chemical digestion of food in stomach, the stomach secretes gastric juice from its gastric glands. HCl is one of the constituents of gastric juice.

HCl destroys the bacteria and other micro¬organisms entering along with the ingested food and thereby prevent the decay of food in stomach. HCl provides acidic medium for the action of gastric enzyme. HCl converts inactive enzyme pepsinogen into an active enzyme pepsin. Pepsin acts in acidic medium on proteins and starts their digestion and convert them into preoteoses and peptones. Thus, HCl is an important constituent of gastric juice.

(11) The length of small intestine of herbivorous is relatively much longer than that of carnivorous.
Answer:
The length of small intestine is different in different animals and that depends upon the nature of food taken by the animal. The carnivorous eat flesh. The digestion of flesh as food is quite easy and rapid and there is very small amount of roughage.

Hence these animals have short small intestine. The herbivorous eat grass and other vegetation. The cellulose of the plant cells is a complex substance and its complete digestion needs more space and time and hence longer small intestine and longer large intestine. Hence, the length of small intestine of herbivorous is relatively much longer than that of carnivorous.

(12) Bile is an important digestive juice though it does not contain any digestive enzymes.
Answer:
Bile is a greenish yellow alkaline digestive juice secreted from the liver cells. Bile contains bile salts, certain bile pigments but does not contain any digestive enzymes.

The bile salts turn the acidic food from stomach, alkaline and thereby provide alkaline medium for further reactions in intestine. Pancreatic enzymes and intestinal enzymes need alkaline medium. Bile salts emulsify the large fat globules into a very large number of very minute fat droplets and thereby greatly increase the exposed surface area of fat for the rapid action of lipases. Hence bile is an important digestive juice though it does not contain any digestive enzymes.

(13) Respiration is important to keep the organism in living state.
Answer:
The living cells of the body need energy for performing various vital functions. The energy is obtained by the biological oxidation of organic nutrients in the cell.

The process of breakdown of food sources for cellular needs either using oxygen or without oxygen is called respiration. The energy, so released is for continuation of various functions and thereby ‘ maintaining the living state of the organism. Thus, respiration is essential for life.

Question 4.
(a) What property do all elements in the same column of the periodic table as boron have in common?
(b) What property do all elements in the same column of the periodic table as fluorine have in common?
Answer:
(a) In the modern periodic table, Boron is an element of group 13. Its valency is 3. Thus, all other elements of this group have valency 3.

(b) In the modern periodic table, fluorine is an element of group 17. All the elements of this group have 7 electrons in their valence shells. Therefore, the valency of all elements of this group is 1.

Question 5.
An atom has electronic configuration 2, 8, 7.
(a) What is the atomic number of this element?
(b) To which of the following elements would it be chemically similar? (Atomic numbers are given in parentheses.)
N (7) F (9) P (15) Ar (18)

Question 6.
The position of three elements A, B and C in the periodic table are shown below:

Group Group 17
A
B C

(a) State whether A is a metal or non-metal.
(b) State whether C is more reactive or less reactive than A.
(c) Will C be larger or smaller in size than B?
(d) Which type of ion, cation or anion, will be formed by element A?
Answer:
(a) Element A is an element of group 17. There are 7 electrons in their valence shell and thus by gaining one more electron it acquire a complete octet. Thus, an element A is a non-metal.

(b) On going down in a group, the atomic s size increases. Therefore, the force of attraction of the nucleus on the incoming electron decreases. As a result, reactivity decreases down the group. Since element C has larger atomic size than A, the element C is less reactive than the element A. In reference of forming positive ion, element C is more reactive than the element A.

(c) Elements B and C belong to the same period. On moving left to right in a period, atomic size (volume) decreases. Thus, the atomic size of C is smaller than B.

(d) Since element A has 7 electrons in the valence shell, it has a tendency to gain one electron to complete its octet. Thus, element A forms an anion.
A + \(\overline{\mathrm{e}}\) → A

Question 7.
Nitrogen (atomic number 7) and phosphorus (atomic number 15) belong to group 15 of the periodic table. Write the electronic configuration of these two elements. Which of these will be more electronegative? Why?
Answer:
The electronic configuration of nitrogen and phosphorus are as follows:

Element Atomic number Electronic configuration
K L M
Nitrogen (N) 7 2 5
Phosphorus (P) 15 2 8 5

Nitrogen is more electronegative than phosphorus because electronegative character decreases on moving down a group.

Question 8.
How does the electronic configuration of an atom relate to its position in the modern periodic table?
Answer:
In the periodic table, position of an element depends on its electronic configuration. The position of an element can be determined by knowing the number of valence electron in its electronic configuration.
For example,
JAC Class 10 Science Solutions Chapter 5 Periodic Classification of Elements 1
Possesses one electron in its valence shell. Hence, it belongs to group 1.
→ The number of shells in the electronic configuration of an element determines its position in a period.
For example,
JAC Class 10 Science Solutions Chapter 5 Periodic Classification of Elements 2
has three shells (K, L and M). So, it belongs to 3rd period of the periodic table.

Question 9.
In the modern periodic table, calcium (atomic number 20) is surrounded by elements with atomic numbers 12, 19, 21 and 38. Which of these have physical and chemical properties resembling calcium?

Jharkhand Board Class 10 Science Periodic Classification of Elements InText Questions and Answers

Question 1.
Did Dobereiner’s triads also exist in the columns of Newlands’ octaves? Compare and find out.
Answer:
Dobereiner’s triads also exist in the columns of Newlands’ octaves.

  • Lithium, sodium and potassium forms a Dobereiner’s triad.
  • Lithium, the first element of this triad is considered as the first element as Newlands’ octave, then the eighth element from it is sodium. These elements possesses similar properties according to the law of triads and the law of octaves.
  • Similarly, if sodium is considered as the first element then the eighth element from it is potassium.  Moreover, sodium and potassium possess similar properties according to both the laws.
  • Apart from these, some other elements beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) obeys law of triads and the law of octaves.
  • Thus, Dobereiner’s triads also exist in the columns of Newlands’ octaves.

Question 2.
What were the limitations of Dobereiner’s classification?
Answer:
The limitations of Dobereiner’s classification are as follows:

  • All the elements known at that time could not be arranged as Dobereiner’s triad. Hence this method of classification of elements into triads was not found to be successful.
  • Three elements nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and arsenic (As) were then known elements, but these elements could not be classified as Dobereiner’s triad.

Question 3.
What were the limitations of Newlands’ law of octaves?
Answer:

  • Newlands’ law of octaves was applicable only to lighter elements having atomic masses up to 40 u.
    The law of octaves was applicable only s upto calcium, because after calcium every eighth element did not possess properties similar to that of the first element.
  • Newlands assumed that only 56 elements s existed in nature and no new elements would be discovered in the future. But, later on, several new elements were discovered whose properties did not fit into the law of octaves.
  • In order to fit elements into his table, Newlands adjusted two elements in the same slot, but also put some unlike elements under the same column.

For example, cobalt (Co) and nickel S (Ni) are placed in the same slot and these are placed in the same column as fluorine, chlorine and bromine which have very different properties S than these elements. Iron, which resembles cobalt and nickel in properties, has been placed far away from these elements.

Question 4.
Use Mendeleev’s periodic table to predict the formulae for the oxides of the following elements:
K, C, Al, Si, Ba
Answer:

Element Group number (Valency) Molecular formula of oxide
K 1 K<sub>2</sub>O
C 4 CO2
Al 3 Al2O3
Si 4 SiO2
Ba 2 BaO

Question 5.
Besides gallium, which other elements have since been discovered that were left by Mendeleev in his periodic table? (any two)
Answer:
Besides gallium, Mendeleev had left gaps for germanium and scandium in his periodic table.

Question 6.
What were the criteria used by Mendeleev in creating his periodic table?
Answer:
The following criteria was used by Mendeleev in creating his periodic table :

  • The properties of elements are the periodic function of their atomic masses.
  • Elements with similar properties are arranged in the same group.
  • The formula of oxides and hydrides formed by an element.

JAC Class 10 Science Solutions Chapter 5 Periodic Classification of Elements

Question 7.
Why do you think the noble gases are placed in a separate group?
Answer:
Noble gases like helium (He), neon (Ne) and argon (Ar) are chemically very inert and are present in extremely low concentrations in our atmosphere. Hence they are placed in a separate s group.

Question 8.
How could the modern periodic table remove various anomalies of Mendeleev’s periodic table?
Answer:
The modern periodic table removed three main anomalies of Mendeleev’s periodic table as discussed below:
(1) Position of isotopes : All the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number. Therefore, they are placed at one place in the same group of the periodic table.

(2) Anomalous position of some pairs of elements: In the Mendeleev’s periodic table, elements with similar properties are placed in the same group. For example, cobalt (atomic mass 58.9 u) placed first and nickel (atomic mass 58.7 u) placed later while in the modern periodic table elements are arranged in increasing order of their atomic numbers, therefore, cobalt with atomic number 27 placed first and nickel with atomic number 28 placed later.

(3) Uncertainty in discovery of new elements: Since atomic masses do not increase in a regular manner in going from one element to the next, therefore, in Mendeleev’s periodic table, it was not possible to predict as to how many new elements could be discovered between two known elements.

Since, modern periodic table is formed on the basis of atomic numbers of elements, discovery of new element become easy.

Question 9.
Name two elements you would expect to show chemical reactions similar to magnesium. What is the basis for your choice?
Answer:
In the modern periodic table, elements having same number of electrons in the valence shell show similar chemical properties.
Magnesium has two electrons in the valence shell, hence all the elements such as beryllium (Be), calcium (Ca) and strontium (Sr) having two electrons in the valence shell show similar chemical properties.

Elements of group 2

Question 11.
(a) Lithium, sodium, potassium are all metals that react with water to liberate hydrogen gas. Is there any similarity in the? atoms of these elements?
(b) Helium is an unreactive gas and neon is a gas of extremely low reactivity. What, if anything, do their atoms have in common?
Answer:
(a) Lithium, sodium and potassium are alkali metals which react with water to form metal hydroxides with the release of hydrogen gas.
2M + 2H2O → 2MOH + H2
Where, M = Li, Na and K
All these metals have one electron in their respective valence shells.

(b) Helium and neon are noble gases. Both the elements have their outermost shells completely filled. Helium has only K shell which is complete with 2 electrons while neon has two shells, K and L. Both these shells are complete, i.e., K s shell has 2 electrons and L shell has 8 electrons.

Activity 5.1 [T. B. Pg. 84]

Looking at its resemblance to alkali metals and the halogen family, try to assign hydrogen a : correct position in Mendeleev’s periodic table.
To which group and period should hydrogen be assigned ?

Discussion:

  • Hydrogen is an element having lowest atomic number (Z = 1) and lowest atomic mass (1.008 u).
  • The electronic configuration of hydrogen resembles with alkali metals.
  • Like alkali metals, hydrogen combines with halogens, oxygen and sulphur to form compounds having similar molecular formulae. Hence, hydrogen can be placed along with alkali metals of group (IA).
  • Hydrogen exists as a diatomic molecule like halogens and it combines with alkali metals to form ionic compounds and with non-metals to form covalent compounds.
  • Thus, hydrogen should be placed along with halogens in group (VII).

Conclusion :
The position of hydrogen in the periodic table is controversial, however, it would be more appropriate to place it in group I and period I.

Activity 5.2 [T. B. Pg. 85]

  • Consider the isotopes of chlorine, Cl-35 and Cl-37.
  • There are two known isotopes of chlorine : Cl-35 and Cl-37.
  • The atomic number of these two isotopes is 17, hence they have similar electronic configuration and chemical properties, but their atomic masses are different.

Questions :

Question 1.
Would you place them in different slots because their atomic masses are different?
Answer:
According to Mendeleev’s periodic table, “The properties of elements are the periodic function of their atomic masses.”

  • According to Mendeleev, if these two isotopes are arranged in the order of increasing atomic masses, then their position should be before K(39.1u), but there is no vacant position available for Cl-37 in between Cl-35 and K(39.1u). Therefore they cannot be placed at the different position.

Question 2.
Would you place them in the same position because their chemical properties are the same?
Answer:
As they have similar chemical properties, they should be placed at the same position in group 17.

Activity 5.3 [T. B. Pg. 85]

Questions:

Question 1.
How were the positions of cobalt and nickel resolved in the modern periodic table?
Answer:

  • In modern periodic table, elements are arranged in increasing order of their atomic numbers.
  • The atomic number of cobalt and nickel are 27 and 28 respectively. Hence, on the basis of increasing order of their atomic numbers, cobalt is placed s in group 9 and nickel is placed in group 10.

JAC Class 10 Science Solutions Chapter 5 Periodic Classification of Elements

Question 2.
How were the positions of isotopes of various elements decided in the modern periodic table?
Answer:
In the modern periodic table, positions of isotopes of different elements are not fixed separately. Since the various isotopes of an element have the same atomic number, they are assigned the same position in the modern periodic table.

Question 3.
Is it possible to have an element with atomic number 1.5 placed between hydrogen and helium?
Answer:

  • The atomic number of an element is always definite and whole number.
  • In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged in increasing order of their atomic numbers.
  • The atomic number cannot be represented in fraction number. Thus, an element with atomic number 1.5 cannot be placed between hydrogen S and helium.

Activity 5.6 [T. B. Pg. 88]

Questions :

Question 1.
How do you calculate the valency of an element from its electronic configuration?
Answer:
The valency of an element is determined by the number of valence electrons present in the outermost shell of the atom.
For elements of group 1, 2, 13 and 14, the valency is equal to the number of valence electrons and for elements of group 15, 16, 17 and 18, the valency is equal to 8 minus number of valence electrons.

Question 2.
What is the valency of magnesium with atomic number 12 and sulphur with atomic number 16?
Answer:
Electronic configuration of Mg with atomic number 12 is K L M 2 8 2
∴ Valency of Mg = 2
Electronic configuration of S with atomic number 16 is K L M 2 8 6
∴ Valency of S = 8 – 6 = 2

Question 3.
Find the valency of the first twenty elements.

Ar 18 18 2 8 8 8 8-8 = 0
K 19 1 2 8 8 1 1 1
Ca 20 2 2 8 8 2 2 2

Question 4.
How does the valency vary in a period on going from left to right?
Answer:
In a period, the valency first increases and then decreases. In a period, the valency first increases from 1 to 4 and then decreases from 4 to 0.

Question 5.
How does the valency vary in going down a group?

Question 7.
It is given that in a group of 3 students, the probability of 2 students not having the same birthday is 0.992. What is the probability that the 2 students have the same birthday?
Solution:
Let E = Event of 2 students not having the same birthday
∴ P(E) = 0.992
∴ P(E) + P(\(\overline{\mathrm{E}}\)) = 1
∴ 0.992 + P(\(\overline{\mathrm{E}}\)) = 1
⇒ P(\(\overline{\mathrm{E}}\)) = 1 – 0.992

∴ n(E1) = 2
(∵ In a deck of cards, 26 cards are red and 26 cards are black. There are four kings in a deck in which two are red and two are black)
Probability of getting a king of red colour = \(\frac{n\left(E_1\right)}{n(S)}=\frac{2}{52}=\frac{1}{26}\)

ii) Let E2 = Event of getting a face card
∴ n(E2) = 12
(∵ In a deck of cards, there are 12 face cards – 4 king, 4 jack, 4 queen)
Probability of getting a face card = \(\frac{n\left(E_2\right)}{n(S)}=\frac{12}{52}=\frac{3}{13}\)

iii) Let E3 = Event of getting a red face card
∴ n(E3) = 6
(∵ In a deck of cards, there are 12 face cards – 6 red, 6 black)
Probability of getting a red face card = \(\frac{n\left(E_3\right)}{n(S)}=\frac{6}{52}=\frac{3}{26}\)

iv) Let E4 = Event of getting a jack of hearts
∴ n(E4) = 1

Probability of getting a jack of hearts = \(\frac{n\left(E_4\right)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{52}\)

v) Let E5 = Event of getting a spade
∴ n(E5) = 13
(∵ In a deck of cards, there are 13 spades, 13 clubs, 13 hearts, 13 diamonds)
Probability of getting a spade = \(\frac{n\left(E_5\right)}{n(S)}=\frac{13}{52}=\frac{1}{4}\)

ii) A student argues that ‘there are 11 possible outcomes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
Therefore, each of them has a probability \(\frac{1}{11}\). Do you agree with this argument? Justify your answer.
Solution:
Total possible outcomes of throwing the two dice, S =
{(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)
(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)

(6, 1), (6, 2), (6,3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
∴ n(S) = 36

a) Let E1 = Sum of two dice is 3 = {(1, 2), (2, 1)}
n(E1) = 2
∴ P(E1) = \(\frac{n\left(E_1\right)}{n(S)}=\frac{2}{36}\)

b) Let E2 = Sum of two dice is 4 = {(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 1)}
n(E2) = 3
∴ P(E2) = \(\frac{n\left(E_2\right)}{n(S)}=\frac{3}{36}\)

c) Let E3 = Sum of two dice is 5 = {(1, 4), (2, 3), (3,2), (4, 1)}
n(E3) = 4
∴ P(E3) = \(\frac{n\left(E_3\right)}{n(S)}=\frac{4}{36}\)

d) Let E4 = Sum of two dice is 6 = {(1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 3), (4, 2), (5, 1)}
n(E4) = 5
∴ P(E4) = \(\frac{5}{36}\)

e) Let E5 = Sum of two dice is 7 = {(1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4,3), (5, 2), (6, 1)}
n(E5) = 6
∴ P(E5) = \(\frac{n\left(E_5\right)}{n(S)}=\frac{6}{36}\)

f) Let E6 = Sum of two dice is 8 = {(2, 6), (3, 5), (4, 4), (5, 3), (6,2)}
n(E6) = 5
∴ P(E6) = \(\frac{n\left(E_6\right)}{n(S)}=\frac{5}{36}\)

g) Let E7 = Sum of two dice is 9 = {(3, 6), (4, 5), (5, 4), (6,3)}
n(E7) = 4
∴ P(E7) = \(\frac{n\left(E_7\right)}{n(S)}=\frac{4}{36}\)

h) Let E8 = Sum of two dice is 10 = {(4, 6), (5, 5), (6, 4)}
n(E8) = 3
∴ P(E8) = \(\frac{n\left(E_8\right)}{n(S)}=\frac{3}{36}\)

i) Let E9 = Sum of two dice is 11 = {(6,5), (5, 6)}
n(E9) = 2
∴ P(E9) = \(\frac{n\left(E_9\right)}{n(S)}=\frac{2}{36}\)

j) Let E10 = Sum of two dice is 12 = {(6, 6)}
n(E10) = 1
∴ P(E10) = \(\frac{n\left(E_{10}\right)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{36}\)

Question 22.
A game consists of tossing a one rupee coin 3 times and noting its outcome each time. Hanif wins if all the tosses give the same result i.e., three heads or three tails, and loses otherwise. Calculate the probability that Hanif will lose the game.
Solution:
Total possible outcomes (H + T)3
= H3 + 3H2T + 3HT2 + T3
HHH HHT HTH THH HTT THT TTH TTT = 8.
Possible losses HHT HTH THH HTT THT TTH = 6

Question 23.
A die is thrown twice. What is the probability that
(i) 5 will not come up either time? (ii) 5 will come up at least once?
[Hint: Throwing a die twice and throwing two dice simultaneously are treated as the same experiment].
Solution:
i) Total number of cases, n(S) = 62 = 36
Let \(\overline{\mathrm{E}}\) = Event that 5 will come up either time
= {(1, 5), (2, 5), (3, 5), (4, 5), (5, 5), (6, 5), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 6)}
⇒ n(\(\overline{\mathrm{E}}\)) = 11
and E = Event that 5 will not come up either time
n(E) = 36 – 11 = 25
∴ Probability that 5 will not come up either time = \(1-\frac{11}{36}=\frac{36-11}{36}\)
= \(\frac{25}{36}\)
ii) Probability that 5 will come up at least once = 12 – 1 = \(\frac{1}{2}\).

Question 24.
Which of the following arguments are correct and which are not correct? Give reasons for your answer.
i) If two coins are tossed simultaneously there are three possible outcomes – two heads, two tails or one of each. Therefore, for each of these outcomes, the probability is \(\frac{1}{3}\).
ii) If a die is thrown, there are two possible outcomes – an odd number or an even number. Therefore, the probability of getting an odd number is \(\frac{1}{2}\).
Solution:
i) Incorrect: We can classify the outcomes like this but they are not then ‘equally likely’. The reason is that ‘one of each’ can result in two ways – from head on first coin and tail on the second coin or from tail on the first coin and head on the second coin. This makes it twice as likely as 2 heads or 2 tails.

ii) Correct. The two outcomes considered in the question are equally likely. Both have the same probability. i.e., \(\frac{1}{2}\).

What should be the length of the slide in each case?
Solution:
JAC Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 - 3
(i) Figure (a) shows the slide for children below the age of 5 years.
Let BC = 1.5 m be the height of the slide. Slide AC is inclined at CAB = 30° to the ground.
In right angled ΔABC, sin 30° = \(\frac{BC}{AC}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{AC}\)
⇒ AC = 3 m.

(ii) Figure (b) shows the slide for elder children. Let RQ = 3 m be the height of the slide. Slide PR is inclined at ∠RPQ = 60° to the ground.
In right angled ΔPQR, sin 60° = \(\frac{RQ}{PR}\) ⇒ \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) = \(\frac{3}{PR}\)
PR = \(\frac{3 \times 2}{\sqrt{3}}\) = 2\(\sqrt{3}\) m.

Solution :
JAC Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 - 4
tan C = \(\frac{AB}{CB}\)
tan 30° = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
tan 30° = \(\frac{h}{30}\)
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) = \(\frac{h}{30}\)
h\(\sqrt{3}\) = 30
h = \(\frac{30}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{30 \times \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}}=\frac{30 \sqrt{3}}{3}\)
h = 10\(\sqrt{3}\)mts.

Let the boy be standing at point B initially. He walks towards the building and reaches point D. From the figure, the distance walked by the boy towards the building is BD.
AC = AG – CG
AC = 30 – 1.5 = 28.5
Now, in ΔABC, we have
tan 30 = \(\frac{AC}{BC}\)
BC = \(\frac{AC}{tan 30}\)
BC = 28.5\(\sqrt{3}\)
Again, in ΔADC, we have
tan 60 = \(\frac{AC}{DC}\)
DC = \(\frac{AC}{tan 60}\)
DC = \(\frac{28.5}{\sqrt{3}}\)
DC = \(\frac{28.5 \sqrt{3}}{3}\) = 9.5\(\sqrt{3}\)
BD = BC – DC
BD = 28.5\(\sqrt{3}\) – 9.5\(\sqrt{3}\)

tan 60° = \(\sqrt{3}\)
tan 45° = 1
In ΔADC, A\(\hat{\mathrm{D}}\)C = 60

tan 45° = \(\frac{AB}{AD}\) = 1
AB = AD = 20 mts.
DA\(\sqrt{3}\) = x + 20
\(\sqrt{3}\)DA = x + 20
\(\sqrt{3}\)(20) = x + 20
x = 20\(\sqrt{3}\) – 20

From the top of a 7 m high building, the angle of elevation of the top of a cable tower is 60° and the angle of depression of its foot is 45°. Determine the height of the tower.
Solution :
JAC Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 - 17
In ΔDBC, tan 60° = \(\frac{DC}{BC}\)
\(\sqrt{3}\) = \(\frac{DC}{BC}\)
= \(\frac{DC}{AE}\) = \(\frac{DC}{7}\) (BC = AE).

In ΔABE, tan 45° = \(\frac{AB}{AE}\)
1 = \(\frac{7}{AE}\)
∴ AE = 7 mts.
AB = BC = 7 mts.
DC = 7\(\sqrt{3}\)
∴ DE = DC + CE
= 7\(\sqrt{3}\) + 7 = 7(\(\sqrt{3}\) + 1) mts.

Solution :
JAC Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 - 20
Let the initial position of the balloon be A and final position be B.
Height of the balloon above the girl’s height = 88.2 m – 1.2 m = 87m
Distance travelled by the balloon = DE = CE – CD
JAC Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 - 21
Distance travelled by the balloon, DE = CE – CD
= (87\(\sqrt{3}\) – 29\(\sqrt{3}\)) m
= 29\(\sqrt{3}\) (3 – 1) m
= 58\(\sqrt{3}\) m.

Question 15.
A straight highway leads to the foot of a tower. A man standing at the top of the tower observes a car at an angle of depression of 30°, which is approaching the foot of the tower with a uniform speed. Six seconds later, the angle of depression of the car is found to be 60°. Find the time taken by the car to reach the foot of the tower from this point.
Solution :

Question 16.
The angles of elevation of the top of a tower from two points at a distance of 4 m and 9 m from the base of the tower and in the same straight line with it are complementary. Prove that the height of the tower is 6 m.
Solution :
JAC Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 - 24
Let AB be the tower. ∠ABC = x
∴ ∠ADB = 90° – x
In ΔABC tan x = \(\frac{AB}{BC}\)
tan x = \(\frac{AB}{4}\) ……………(i)
In ΔADB tan (90° – x) = \(\frac{AB}{9}\)
cot x = \(\frac{AB}{9}\) ……………(ii)
(i) × (ii)
tan x × cot x = \(\frac{AB}{4}\) × \(\frac{AB}{9}\)
tan x × \(\frac{1}{tan x}\) = \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}^2}{36}\)
1 = \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}^2}{36}\)
AB² = 36
AB = ± \(\sqrt{36}\)
AB = ± 6
∴ Height of the tower AB = 6 m.
Note: C and D can be taken on the same side of AB.
