GENERAL ARTICLES

INDIAN HISTORY

Indian History is a topic of interest to many. Chronologically, Indian History can be classified into three periods – Ancient India, Medieval India and Modern India. There were activities of humans in the Indian subcontinent 2 million years ago. Now, India is one of the leading developing nations. The nation's independence and development greatly rely on Modern India. Everyone knows that British ruled India and India got independence on 15th August 1947. But the British landed in India on August 24, 1608 AD.

Did we suffer too long under the British rule? Did India a wealthy nation before the British rule? What really happened from the start to the end? How about our culture?

INTRODUCTION TO LEADERS

A leader is the one who impacts a change in the society. A change is necessary to an evolving society. Our ancestors came across issues like capitalism, slavery, racism, untouchability and so on. Every such issue was demolished by the common people with the support and guidance of the prominent leaders. First of all why we need leaders?

A leader is like a Shepard who takes us with him/her on a journey!  They show how a change can be attained. So we, youngsters need to know about such leaders to get a vision and to bridge the gaps in the society.  It'll greatly empower us, if we closely observe them. Right, how can we closely observe?  Obviously by reading about them. So we are here to help you know about the great and influencing leaders. In the upcoming blogs we will post about prominent leaders.

Also comment your perception on leaders and how they impact on society and individuals .

In the field of Mathematics, the concepts of Algebra and trigonometry, the number of pi and zero were originated from India.

This fact is recalled with a sense of Pride by Indians. For the first time ever, India discovered that there is water on moon. The Indian Space Research Organization’s lunar probe, Chandrayaan -1 detected water on the surface of the moon in the form of ice using a moon mineralogy mapper.

READING MATTERS

    

"No matter what rock is in the way, no matter what storm is on the way, the water ultimately going to go down the river "

These are the words of  one of the highest paid female athlete, Goodwill ambassador of UNDP, Ambassador of world's top brands, influential sports woman, a famous tennis player and an Entrepreneur who is known for her mental toughness and struggling personality!  Maria Sharapova.....

 I think everyone of us know her as a famous tennis player who became famous after  winning the 2004 Wimbledon Championship .  But the story has started somewhere else! In a small town of Russia when a 4 year old girl held the tennis racket. If you guys want to know the journey from a small town of Russia to Florida, just take a look at 'Unstoppable: My life so far', a memoir by Maria Sharapova. This memoir tells about her Unstoppable attitude. We could even say that the book is more about Sharapova's father who dedicated his life in the making of a champion.

It is not  one of those rags to riches story, but a unique one. From the preface itself, we can understand that. Rather reading we can listen to her inspiring journey!

Devote some time for reading in this quarantine ! 

Stay home! Stay safe!

ANSWERS OF LAST WEEK

1) ANSWER- C) 15

Let the present ages of son and father be x and (60 -x) years respectively.

Then, (60 - x) - 5= 4(x - 5)

55 - x = 4x - 20

5x = 75  => x = 15

2) ANSWER - D) 1.5 Kmph

 Speed of boy is B= 4.5 Kmph

 Let the speed of the stream be S= X Kmph

  Then speed in downstream= 4.5+X

  Speed in upstream= 4.5-X

  As the distance is same,

             4.5+X = (4.5-X) 2

             4.5+X = 9-2X

             3X = 4.5

             X = 1.5 Kmph

3) ANSWER - A) 1999

 NOTE - Repetition of leap year = Add +28 to the Given Year.

  Repetition of non leap year

  Step 1 : Add +11 to the Given Year. If Result is a leap year, Go to step 2.

   Step 2:  Add +6 to the Given Year

   Since the given Year is 1993, Which is a non leap year.

    Step 1 : Add +11 to the given year (i.e. 1993 + 11) = 2004, Which is a leap year.

    Step 2 : Add +6 to the given year (i.e. 1993 + 6) = 1999

    Therefore, the  calendar for the year 1993 will be same for the year 1999

4) ANSWER - A) 10 Litres

Number of litres of water in 125 litres of the mixture = 20% of 150 = 1/5 of 150

 = 30 litres.

Let us Assume that another 'P' litres of water are added to the mixture to make

water 25% of the new mixture. So, the total amount of water becomes (30 + P)

 and the total volume of the mixture becomes (150 + P)

 Thus, (30 + P) = 25% of (150 + P)

 Solving , we get P = 10 litres.

5) ANSWER - B) 154

The diameter is equal to the shortest side of the rectangle.

 So radius= 14/2 = 7cm.

 Therefore, area of circle = πr(22/7)X49= 154 sq.cm
