III Answer any 4 questions. (4x5=20)

31. Explain two methods that you can use to measure the length of a curved line.

Method 1: Using a Thread

1. Take a piece of thread and place a knot at one end.
2. Place the knotted end at the beginning of the curved line.
3. Carefully lay the thread along the curved line, ensuring it follows the path exactly.
4. Mark the point on the thread where the curved line ends.
5. Now, straighten the thread and measure the length from the knot to the marked point using a standard ruler. This length is the length of the curved line.

Method 2: Using a Divider

1. Take a divider and open its two ends to a small, fixed distance (e.g., 1 cm).
2. Place one tip of the divider at the starting point of the curved line and let the other tip fall on the line.
3. Pivot the divider from the second tip and place the first tip further along the line. Repeat this process along the entire length.
4. Count the number of "steps" taken by the divider.
5. The length of the line is approximately the number of steps multiplied by the distance between the divider tips, plus the length of any remaining part measured with a ruler.

32. Give examples:-

• a) Linear motion: An athlete running on a straight 100m track.
• b) Curvilinear motion: A javelin thrown by an athlete.
• c) Circular motion: The tip of a fan blade when the fan is on.
• d) Oscillatory motion: The movement of a child on a swing.
• e) Irregular motion: A bee flying from flower to flower.

33. Make a list of the functions of root and stem.

Functions of the Root:

• Anchorage: It fixes the plant firmly in the soil.
• Absorption: It absorbs water and essential minerals from the soil.
• Storage: In some plants like carrots and beetroots, the root stores food.
• Conduction: It transports the absorbed water and minerals upwards to the stem.

Functions of the Stem:

• Support: It supports the branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits, holding them up to the sunlight.
• Conduction: It transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaves and other parts. It also transports food (prepared in the leaves) to all parts of the plant, including the roots.
• Storage: Some stems, like potato and ginger, are modified to store food.
• Photosynthesis: In some plants with green stems (like cacti), the stem also performs photosynthesis.

34. Differentiate between Unicellular and multicellular organisms.

Feature	Unicellular Organisms	Multicellular Organisms
Number of Cells	They are made of a single cell.	They are made of many cells.
Body Organisation	Simple body organisation.	Complex body organisation with cells grouped into tissues, organs, and organ systems.
Life Processes	All life processes (like digestion, respiration, excretion) are carried out by the single cell.	Different life processes are carried out by different specialized cells and organ systems.
Lifespan	They generally have a short lifespan.	They generally have a longer lifespan.
Examples	Amoeba, Bacteria, Yeast, Paramecium.	Humans, Mango Tree, Fish, Insects.

35. Tabulate the vitamins and their corresponding deficiency diseases.

Vitamin	Deficiency Disease
Vitamin A	Night Blindness
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)	Beriberi
Vitamin C	Scurvy (bleeding gums)
Vitamin D	Rickets (weak bones in children)
Vitamin E	Nervous system problems, Infertility
Vitamin K	Haemorrhage (Failure of blood to clot)

36. Explain in detail about the applications of computer.

Computers are versatile machines used in almost every field of life. Some of their key applications are:

• Education: Computers are used for online learning (e-learning), conducting research, accessing digital libraries, and creating educational presentations. They make learning interactive and engaging.
• Communication: They are essential for modern communication through emails, video conferencing (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet), instant messaging, and social media, connecting people across the globe.
• Healthcare: In hospitals, computers help in maintaining patient records (EHR), diagnosing diseases through medical imaging (MRI, CT scans), monitoring patients' vital signs, and in surgical procedures.
• Business and Banking: Companies use computers for managing finances, maintaining employee records, marketing, and data analysis. In banking, they are used for online transactions, ATMs, and managing customer accounts.
• Entertainment: Computers are a primary source of entertainment for watching movies, listening to music, playing games, and creating digital art and animation.
• Science and Research: Scientists use powerful computers (supercomputers) for complex calculations, weather forecasting, space exploration, and simulating scientific experiments.

= 96 sq.m

25. The area of a rhombus is 160sq.cm and the length of one of its diagonals is 8cm. Find the length of the other diagonal.

Solution:
Area of rhombus = \(\frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2\)
160 = \(\frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times d_2\)
160 = 4 × \(d_2\)
\(d_2\) = 160 / 4
\(d_2\) = 40 cm

26. Find the area of the trapezium whose height is 14cm and the parallel sides are 18cm and 9cm of length.

Solution:
Area of trapezium = \(\frac{1}{2} \times h \times (a+b)\)

29. A dozen bananas cost Rs.20, what is the price of 48 bananas?

Solution:
1 dozen = 12 bananas.
Cost of 12 bananas = Rs.20.
Cost of 1 banana = Rs. 20 / 12.
Cost of 48 bananas = (20 / 12) × 48 = 20 × 4 = Rs.80.

30. Given that AB is a straight line. Calculate the value of x° in the following case.

Solution:
Angles on a straight line sum to 180°.
72° + x° = 180°
x° = 180° - 72°
x° = 108°
So, x = 108.

Solution:
1. Railway tracks.
2. Opposite edges of a ruler, door, or window.

32. If 30 men can reap a field in 15 days, then in how many days can 20 men reap the same field.

Solution:
This is a case of inverse proportion.
Total work = Men × Days = 30 × 15 = 450 man-days.
Days required for 20 men = Total work / Number of men
= 450 / 20 = 22.5 days.

35. If P=-15 and Q=5 find (P-Q) + (P+Q)

Solution:
(P - Q) + (P + Q) = (-15 - 5) + (-15 + 5)
= (-20) + (-10)
= -30

36. The area of a trapezium is 1080sq.cm. If the length of its parallel sides are 55.6cm and 34.4 cm find the distance between them.

Solution:
Area = \(\frac{1}{2} \times h \times (a+b)\)
1080 = \(\frac{1}{2} \times h \times (55.6 + 34.4)\)
1080 = \(\frac{1}{2} \times h \times (90)\)
1080 = 45 × h
h = 1080 / 45
h = 24 cm. The distance between them is 24 cm.

37. What should be added to 3x+6y to get 5x+8y?

Solution:
Required expression = (5x + 8y) - (3x + 6y)
= 5x + 8y - 3x - 6y
= 2x + 2y

38. If the cost of 7kg of onions is Rs.84. Find the following.
(i) Weight of the onions bought for Rs.180.
(ii) The cost of 3kg of onions.

Solution:
Cost of 1 kg of onions = Rs.84 / 7 = Rs.12.
(i) Weight bought for Rs.180 = Rs.180 / Rs.12 per kg = 15 kg.
(ii) Cost of 3 kg of onions = 3 × Rs.12 = Rs.36.

39. Find the value of x, y and z.

Solution:
Angles on the straight line AD add up to 180°.
x + (3x + 40°) = 180°
4x + 40° = 180°
4x = 140°
x = 35°

Vertically opposite angles are equal.
y + 30° = 3x + 40°
y + 30° = 3(35) + 40° = 105° + 40° = 145°
y = 145° - 30°
y = 115°

Also, vertically opposite angles x and z+10° are equal.
x = z + 10°
35° = z + 10°
z = 35° - 10°
z = 25°

40. Find the shortest route to Vivekandar Memorial Hall from the Mandapam using the given map.

Solution:
There are two possible routes:
Route 1: Mandapam → Pallivasal Island → Vivekandar Memorial Hall
Distance = 6 km + 2 km = 8 km.

Route 2: Mandapam → Krusadai Island → Vivekandar Memorial Hall
Distance = 7 km + 1.5 km = 8.5 km.

Comparing the distances, the shortest route is Route 1 with a distance of 8 km.
