PSEB 8th Class English Letter/Application Writing

पत्र लिखना एक कला है। एक अच्छा पत्र लिख कर आप शत्रु का दिल भी जीत सकते हैं। पत्र मुख्यतः तीन प्रकार के होते हैं-व्यक्तिगत, व्यावसायिक अथवा अधिकारियों को लिखे गए पत्र।

व्यक्तिगत पत्र (Personal Letters)-व्यक्तिगत पत्र वे पत्र होते हैं जो हम अपने मित्रों या सगे-सम्बन्धियों को लिखते हैं। ऐसे पत्र प्रायः समाचारों से भरे होते हैं। इन पत्रों में हम अपने घर, परिवार, स्कूल या किसी अनुभव का वर्णन करते हैं। ये पत्र एक विशेष विधि द्वारा लिखे जाते हैं। इन्हें ऐसे लिखा जाता है जैसे कि आप किसी व्यक्ति से बातचीत कर रहे हों। पते के अतिरिक्त इन पत्रों के छ: भाग होते हैं।

1. लिखने वाले का पता (The address of the sender)
2. तिथि (Date)
3. सम्बोधन या अभिवादन (The salutation or greeting)
4. विषय-वस्तु (The body of letter)
5. विधिवत् अन्त (The subscription or complimentary close)
6. हस्ताक्षर (Signature)

प्रत्येक भाग को लिखने की अपनी अलग विधि होती है। आओ हम एक-एक करके इनका अध्ययन करें-
1. The Address of the Sender. पहले पत्र भेजने वाले का पता पृष्ठ पर सबसे ऊपर दायें कोने में लिखा जाता था। प्रत्येक लाइन में अन्त में Comma और आखिरी लाइन के अन्त में Full Stop लगाया जाता था।

परन्तु अब पता लिखते समय विराम चिन्ह लगाने की विधि में अन्तर आ गया है। अब पंक्तियों के अन्त में Commas और Full Stop का प्रयोग नहीं होता। इसके अतिरिक्त अब Sender’s Address दाहिने कोने की बजाये बाएं कोने में लिखा जाता है।

15 Model Town
Rajpura
2. Date. तिथि लिखने वाले के पते के बिल्कुल नीचे लिखी जाती है। तिथि लिखने की कई विधियां हैं, जैसे-
15 Model Town
Rajpura
March 12, 20……
या
12th March 20…..
या
12 March 20……
3. The Salutation or Greeting. (i) मित्र को पत्र लिखते समय उसे उसके नाम से सम्बोधित कीजिए; जैसे-Dear Mohan, जहां तक हो सके मित्र को उसी नाम (संक्षिप्त) से संबोधित कीजिए जिस नाम से आप बातचीत करते समय उसे सम्बोधित करते हैं; जैसे,
Dear Monu
Dear Sonu

(ii) माता-पिता, भाइयों, बहनों अथवा घनिष्ठ सगे सम्बन्धियों को आप यूं सम्बोधित कर सकते हैं-
My dear Father or Daddy/Dad
My dear Mother or Mamma/Mom
My dear Brother My dear Gopal
My dear Kamla
नोट-यदि आप Address में विराम चिन्ह नहीं लगाते तो आप सम्बोधन में भी इनका प्रयोग न करें।

4. The Body of the Letter-यह पत्र का सबसे महत्त्वपूर्ण भाग है। एक अच्छा पत्र वह माना जाता है जो सरल हो और जिसमें पाठक की रुचि बनी रहे। पत्र की प्रत्येक पंक्ति अर्थपूर्ण एवं रोचक हो। पत्र ऐसे लिखना चाहिए मानो आपका सम्बन्धी आपके सामने बैठा हो और आप से बातें कर रहा हो। पत्र का यह भाग लिखते समय विराम चिन्हों और Grammar के अन्य सभी नियमों का पूरा पालन करें।

5. The Subscription or Complimentary Close-(i) मित्र को लिखे गए पत्र का अन्त इस प्रकार करें
Yours sincerely
या
Your sincere friend

(ii) सगे-सम्बन्धियों को लिखे गये पत्रों का अन्त इस प्रकार करें-
Yours affectionately

(iii) निम्नलिखित phrases के साथ भी व्यक्तिगत पत्रों का अन्त किया जा सकता है- . Ever sincerely yours
या
Your loving son/Love
या
Lovingly yours
नोट-यदि आपने सम्बोधन के समय comma नहीं लगाया तो आप पत्र का अन्त करने वाले phrase के साथ भी comma न लगायें।

6. Signature-व्यक्तिगत पत्र में आप को अपने पूरे हस्ताक्षर नहीं करने चाहिएं। आपको या तो नाम का पहला हिस्सा लिखना चाहिए या फिर वह नाम लिखें जिस नाम से आप अपने सगे-सम्बन्धियों या मित्रों द्वारा पुकारे जाते हैं। जैसे-
Sohan
या
Sonu आप Sohan Lal Gupta अर्थात् पूरा नाम न लिखें।

Salutation and Subscription at a Glance

Official Letters या Business Letters.
(i) ऐसे पत्रों में कोई विशेष अन्तर तो नहीं होता। अन्तर केवल इतना है कि इन पत्रों के प्राय: छ: की बजाए सात भाग होते हैं।

(ii) ऐसे पत्रों में पत्र लिखने वाले का पता और तिथि व्यक्तिगत पत्रों की तरह ही लिखे जाते हैं।’

(iii) ऐसे पत्रों में उस फर्म (Firm) या व्यक्ति का पूरा पता भी पत्र में लिखा जाता है जिसे पत्र लिखा जा रहा हो, जैसे-
Messrs Malhotra Book Depot
(Producers of Quality Books)
Railway Road
Jalandhar City

(iv) ऐसे पत्रों में सम्बोधन की विधि इस प्रकार होती है
Dear Sir
या
Dear Sirs
या
Madam
या
Sir
नोट-यदि व्यक्ति आप से परिचित है तो आप उसे यूं भी सम्बोधित कर सकते हैं-
Dear Mr. Sharma

(v) ऐसे पत्रों की विषय-वस्तु संक्षिप्त, स्पष्ट और विनम्र-भाषी होनी चाहिए।

(vi) ऐसे पत्रों का अन्त यूं करना चाहिए
Yours truly
या
Yours faithfully

(vii) आप माननीय व्यक्तियों अथवा उच्च पद पर आसीन व्यक्तियों को पत्र लिखते हुए Yours respectfully या Yours obediently का प्रयोग भी कर सकते हैं। नाम से सम्बोधित पत्रों का अन्त Yours sincerely से ही करना चाहिए।

(viii) ऐसे पत्रों में हस्ताक्षर पूरे होने चाहिएं और हस्ताक्षर के पश्चात् लिखने वाले का नाम या पद लिखा जाना चाहिए, जैसे-
Yours faithfully
Mohan Lal Sharma
Manager

2. Where does the koel sit ?
3. Please bring him milk and fruit now.
4. Hurrah ! We have won the match.

Kinds of Sentence

वाक्य पांच प्रकार के होते हैं-

1. Assertive Sentences (साधारण वाक्य)
2. Interrogative Şentences (प्रश्नवाचक वाक्य)
3. Imperative Sentences (आजसयक वाक्य )
4. Exclamatory Sentences (विस्मया दिसूचक वाक्य)
5. Optative Sentences (इच्छासूचक वाक्य)

Parts of a Sentence

वाक्य के दो भाग होते है-

1. Subject (उद्देश्थ)
2. Predicate (विधेय)

1. वाक्य में जिस व्यक्ति पशु स्थान अथवा वस्तु के बारे में कुछ कहा जाता है उसे Subject कहते हैं।
2. Predicate. Subject के बारे में जो कुछ कहा जाता है उसे Predicate कहते हैं।

विशेष- Imperative Sentences का Subject प्राय लुप्त रहता है जैसे-

2. Come in. (You come in.)

Simple and Complex Sentences

What is a Simple Sentence?
(साधारण वाक्य की परिभाषा)

जिस वाक्य में केवल एक Finite Verb हो, वह Simple Sentence कहलाता है। साधारण वाक्य में एक Subject (उद्देश्य) और एक Predicate (विधेय). होता है; जैसे,-

1. Mohan loves his country.
2. Ram plays hockey.
3. Dogs bark.

Note. 1. जिस क्रिया का अपना subject (उद्देश्य) हो, वह Finite Verb (परिमित क्रिया) कहलाती है।
2. ऊपर के प्रत्येक वाक्य में एक-एक Finite Verb (loves, plays, bark) है।
3. प्रत्येक का अपना Subject (Mohan, Ram, Dogs) है और अपना Predicate (loves his country, plays hockey, bark) है।

What is a Complex Sentence?
(मिश्रित वाक्य की परिभाषा)

Complex Sentencé को जानने से पहले Clauses (उप-वाक्य) को समझ लेना आवश्यक है, क्योंकि Clauses के मेल से ही Complex Sentence बनता है।

Clause. शब्दों के ऐसे समूह को Clause (उप-वाक्य) कहते हैं जिसका अपना Subject तथा अपना Predicate हो और साथ में किसी अन्य वाक्य का उप-भाग भी हो।

Kinds of Clauses. Clauses के प्रकार को समझने के लिए हमें नीचे लिखे वाक्य को ध्यान से पढ़ना चाहिए-
I like him because he is brave.
नोट-1. इस वाक्य के दो भाग हैं।
2. प्रत्येक भाग में Subject और Predicate दोनों हैं। इसलिए दोनों ही clause हैं।

पहली Clause (I like him). पहली clause का पूरा अर्थ निकलता है। इसका अर्थ समझने के लिए दूसरी clause की आवश्यकता नहीं है। ऐसी clause को Principal Clause या Main Clause (प्रधान उप-वाक्य) कहते हैं।

दूसरी Clause (because he is brave). दूसरी clause का पूरा अर्थ नहीं निकलता। पूरा अर्थ देने के लिए यह Principal Clause पर depend (आश्रित) है। इसलिए इसे Dependent या Subordinate Clause (आश्रित उप-वाक्य) कहते हैं।

Complex Sentence की परिभाषा-जिस वाक्य में एक Principal Clause (प्रधान उप-वाक्य) तथा एक या एक से अधिक Subordinate Clauses (आश्रित उप-वाक्य) हों, उसे Complex Sentence कहते हैं।

Exercise (With Hints)

1. Rani is a nice girl.

PSEB Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 12 Perimeter and Area Ex 12.2

1. Find the approximate area of each of the following figures by countaing the number of squares – complete, more than half and exactly half.

Solution:
(i) Number of complete squares m = 7
Here we do not have any half square or more than half.
∴ n = 0, p = 0
∴ Area of plane figure = m + n + \(\frac {1}{2}\)p
= 7 + 0 + 0
= 7 sq. units

(ii) Number of complete squares m = 2
Number of more than half squares n = 4
Number of half squares p = 0
∴ Area of plane figure = m + n + \(\frac {1}{2}\)p
= 4 + 2 + 0
= 6 sq. units.

(iii) Number of complete squares m = 10
Number of more than half squares n = 0
Number of exactly half squares p = 2
∴ Area of plane figure = m + n + \(\frac {1}{2}\)p
= (10 + 0 + \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 2) sq. units
= (10 + 1) sq. units
= 11 sq. units

(iv) Number of complete squares m = 11
Number of more than half squares n = 0
Number of exactly half squares p = 2
∴ Area of plane figure = m + n + \(\frac {1}{2}\)p
= 11 + 0 + \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 2
= 11 + 1 = 12 sq. units

(v) Number of complete squares m = 10
Number of more than half squares n = 3
Number of exactly half squares p = 0
∴ Area of plane figure = m + n + \(\frac {1}{2}\)p
= 10 + 3 + 0
= 13 sq. units

2. Find the area of rectangle whose:

Question (i)
length = 12 cm, breadth = 16 cm
Solution:
Length of rectangle = 12 cm
and Breadth of rectangle = 16 cm.
∴ Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
= 12 cm × 16 cm
= 192 sq. cm

Question (ii)
length = 25 m, breadth = 18 m
Solution:
Length of rectangle = 25 m
and Breadth of rectangle = 18 m
∴ Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
= 25 m × 18 m
= 450 sq. m

Question (iii)
length = 2.7 m, breadth = 45 cm
Solution:
Length of rectangle = 2.7 m = 270 cm
and Breadth of rectangle = 45 cm
∴ Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
= 270 cm × 45 cm
= 12150 sq. cm

Question (iv)
length 4.2 cm, breadth = 1.5 cm
Solution:
Length of rectangle = 4.2 cm
and Breadth of rectangle = 1.5 cm
∴ Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
= 4.2 cm × 1.5 cm
= 6.3 sq. cm

Question (v)
length = 3.8 mm, breadth = 4 mm.
Solution:
Length of rectangle = 3.8 mm
and Breadth of rectangle = 4 mm
∴ Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
= 3.8 mm × 4 mm
= 15.2 sq. mm

3. Find the area of the square with side:

Question (i)
19 cm
Solution:
Side of the square = 19 cm
∴ Area of the square = side × side
= 19 cm × 19 cm = 361 sq. cm.

Question (ii)
24 mm
Solution:
Side of square = 24 mm
∴ Area of square = side × side
= 24 mm × 24 mm
= 576 sq. mm

Question (iii)
3.5 cm
Solution:
Side of the square = 3.5 cm
Area of square = side × side
= 3.5 cm × 3.5 cm
= 12.25 sq. cm

Question (iv)
2.6 cm
Solution:
Side of the square = 2.6 cm
Area of square = side × side
= 2.6 cm × 2.6 cm
= 6.76 sq. cm

Question (v)
8.2 cm.
Solution:
Side of the square = 8.2 cm
Area of the square = side × side
= 8.2 cm × 8.2 cm
= 67.24 sq. cm.

4. The area of a rectangle is 216 sq. cm and its length is 12 cm. Find its breadth.
Solution:
The area of the rectangle = 216 sq. cm.
Length of the rectangle = 12 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = \(\frac{\text { Area }}{\text { Length }}\)
= \(\frac {216}{12}\) cm
= 18 cm.

5. The area of a rectangle is 225 sq. m and its breadth is 9 in. Find its length.
Solution:
The area of the rectangle = 225 sq. m
and Breadth of the rectangle = 9 m
∴ Length of the rectangle = \(\frac{\text { Area }}{\text { Breadth }}\)
= \(\frac {225}{9}\) m
= 25 m

6. The length and breadth of a ground are 32 m and 24 m. Find the cost of levelling the ground at the rate of ₹ 3 per sq. m.
Solution:
Length of ground = 32 m
and Breadth of ground = 24 m
Area of the ground = Length × Breadth
= 32 m × 24 m
= 768 sq. m.
Levelling cost of 1 sq. m = ₹ 3
Levelling cost of 768 sq. m = ₹ 3 × 768
= ₹ 2304

7. Find the perimeter of a rectangle whose area is 324 sq. cm and its one side is 36 cm.
Solution:
Area of rectangle = 324 sq. cm
One side of rectangle = 36 cm
∴ Other side of rectangle = \(\frac{\text { Area }}{\text { One side }}\)
= \(\frac {324}{36}\) = 9 cm
Perimeter of rectangle
= 2 × (1st side + 2nd side)
= 2 × (36 + 9) cm
= 2 × 45 cm
= 90 cm

8. The perimeter of a square field is 100 m. Find its area.
Solution:
The perimeter of square field = 100 m
∴ 4 × side of square = 100 m
∴ Side of a square = \(\frac {100}{4}\) = 25 m
Hence area of square field = side × side
= 25 m × 25 m
= 625 sq. m.

9. Area of a rectangle of length 20 cm is 340 sq. cm. Find its perimeter.
Solution:
Area of rectangle = 340 sq. cm
and Length of rectangle = 20 cm
Breadth of rectangle = \(\frac{\text { Area }}{\text { Length }}\)
= \(\frac {340}{20}\) cm = 17 cm
Perimeter of rectangle
= 2 × (Length + Breadth)
= 2 × (20 + 17) cm
= 2 × 37 cm
= 74 cm

10. A marble tile measure 15 cm × 20 cm. How many tiles will be required to cover a wall of size 4 m × 6 m?
Solution:
Area of the wall = 4 m × 6 m
= 400 cm × 600 cm
= 240000 sq. cm
Area of a marble tile = 15 cm × 20 cm
= 300 sq. cm
Number of tiles required to cover wall
= \(\frac{\text { Area of wall }}{\text { Area of tile }}=\frac{240000}{300}\) = 800
Hence number of tiles required to cover wall = 800

11. Find the cost of levelling the square field of side 75 m at rate of ₹ 5 per square metre.
Solution:
Side of the square field = 75 m
Area of square field = side × side
= 75 m × 75 m
= 5625 sq. m
Cost of levelling 1 sq. m = ₹ 5
Cost of levelling 5625 sq. m = ₹ 5 × 5625
= ₹ 28125

12. How many stamps of size 2 cm × 1.5 cm can be pasted on a sheet of paper of size 6 cm × 12 cm?
Solution:
Area of the sheet of paper
= 6 cm × 12 cm = 72 sq. cm
Area of one stamp = 2 cm × 1.5 cm = 3 sq cm
Number of stamps pasted on sheet of paper
= \(=\frac{\text { Area of paper sheet }}{\text { Area of stamp }}=\frac{72}{3}\) = 24.

13.

Question (i)
What will happen to the area of a square if its side is trebled (tripled)?
Solution:
Let side of the square = x cm
∴ Area of the square = (x × x) sq. m
Now, if the side is trebled, then side of new square = 3x cm
∴ Area of the new square
= [(3x) × (3x)] sq. m
= (3 × 3 × x × x) sq. m
= 9 (x × x) sq. cm
= 9 × (Area of original square)
∴ If side is trebled, then area becomes 9 times of original area.

Question (ii)
What will happen to the area of a rectangle if its length is halved and breadth is doubled?
Solution:
l cm and b cm be the length and breadth of the rectangle respectively.
∴ Area of rectangle = l × b
Now, If its length is halved and breadth is doubled.
∴ New length = \(\frac {1}{2}\) l
and new breadth = 2b
Thus area of new rectangle = length × breadth
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × l × 2b
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 2 × (l × b)
= (l × b) = original area
Area will remain the same.

Question (iii)
What will happen to the area of a square if its side is halved?
Solution:
Let side of the square = x cm
∴ Area of the square = (x × x) sq. cm
Now, if side is halved, then
side of new square = \(\frac {1}{2}\)x cm
∴ Area of the new square sq.cm


Hence, if side is halved, then the area becomes one-fourth times original area.

14. Find the area of the following figures by splitting it into rectangles and squares:

Question (i)

Solution:
The given figure can be divided into 2 parts

Rectangle A of size 8 cm × 3 cm
Rectangle B of size 4 cm × 2 cm
∴ Area of rectangle A
= 8 cm × 3 cm = 24 sq. cm
and Area of rectangle B
= 4 cm × 2 cm
= 8 sq. cm
⇒ Total area of the figure
= 24 sq. cm + 8 sq. cm
= 32 sq. cm

Question (ii)

Solution:
The given figure can be divided into 2 parts

Rectangle A of size 10 cm × 2 cm
Rectangle B of size 8 cm × 2 cm
∴ Area of rectangle A
= 10 cm × 2 cm = 20 sq. cm
and Area of rectangle B
= 8 cm × 2 cm = 16 sq. cm
Total Area of the figure
= (20 + 16) sq. cm = 36 sq. cm

Question (iii)

Solution:
The given figure can be divided into 3 parts

Rectangle A of size 12 cm × 3 cm
Rectangle B of size 3 cm × 2 cm
Rectangle of size 12 cm × 3 cm
Area of rectangle A
= 12 cm × 3 cm = 36 sq. Cm
Area of rectangle B
= 3 cm × 2 cm = 6 sq. cm
Area of rectangle C
= 12 cm × 3 cm = 36 sq. cm
Total area of the figures
= (36 + 6 + 36) sq. cm
= 78 sq. cm

Question (iv)

Solution:
The given figure can be divided into 3 parts

Rectangle A of size 13 × 3 units
Rectangle B of size 5 × 3 units
Rectangle C of size 5 × 3
Area of rectangle A
= 13 × 3 = 39 sq. units
Area of rectangle B
= 5 × 3 = 15 sq. units
Area of rectangle C
= 5 × 3 = 15 sq. units
Hence total area of the figure
= (39 + 15 + 15) sq. units
= 69 sq. units Ans.

or y = \(\frac{28 \cdot 5}{\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{28 \cdot 5 \times \sqrt{3}}{3}\) ……….(2)

Distance covered towards building = x = (x + y) – y
= (28.5 × √3) – (\(\frac{28.5}{3}\) × √3) m [sing (1) and (2)]

= 28.5 (1 – \(\frac{1}{3}\)) √3 m

= 28.5 (\(\frac{3-1}{4}\)) √3 m

From (1) and (2), we get
h = \(\frac{h+1.6}{\sqrt{3}}\)
or √3h = h + 1.6
or (√3 – 1) h = 1.6
or (1.732 – 1) h = 16
or (0.732) h = 1.6
or h = \(\frac{1.6}{0.732}\) = 2.1857923
= 2.20 m (approx.)
Hence, height of pedestal is 2.20 m.

= (20 × 1.732) m = 34.64 m
DA = x = 60 m
and AB = 80 – x = (80 – 60) m = 20 m.
Hence, heigth of the poles are 3464 m and the distances of the point from the poles are 20 m and 60 m respectively.

Question 11.
A TV tower stands vertically on a bank of a canal. From a point on the other bank directly opposite the tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 60°. From a point 20 m away from this point on the same bank, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 30° (see fig.). Find the height of the tower and the width of the canal.

Solution:
Let BC = x m be the width of canal and CD = h m be height of TV tower. The angles of elevation of top of tower at different position are 30° and 60° respectively. Various arrangements are as shown in figure.

In right angled ∆ABC,

\(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{BC}}\) = tan 60°

or \(\frac{h}{x}\) = √3
or h = √3x …………..(1)

Also, in right angled ∆ABD,
\(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{BD}}\) = tan 30°

or \(\frac{h}{20+x}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)

or h = \(\frac{20+x}{\sqrt{3}}\) ……………….(2)

From (1) and (2), we get

√3x = \(\frac{20+x}{\sqrt{3}}\)
or √3(√3x) = 20 + x
or 3x = 20 + x
or 2x = 20
or x = \(\frac{20}{2}\) = 10

Substitute this value of x in (1), we get
h = 10(√3)
= 10 × 1.732
h = 17.32 m
Hence, height of TV tower is 17.32 m and. width of the canal is 10 m.

Question 12.
From the top of a 7m 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:
Let BD = hm be the height of cable tower and AE = 7 m be the height of building. The angle of elevation of the top of a cable tower and angle of depression of its foot from top of a building are 60° and 45° respectively.
Various arrangements are as shown in figure.

In right angled ∆ABC,

\(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{AE}}\) = cot 45°

or \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{7}\) = 1

or AB = 7 m. ……………..(1)

Also, in right angled ∆DCE,

\(\) = cot 60°
or \(\frac{\mathrm{EC}}{h-7}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)

or EC = \(\frac{h-7}{\sqrt{3}}\) ……………..(2)

But AB = EC ………….(Given)
7 = \(\frac{h-7}{\sqrt{3}}\) [Using (1) and (2)]
or 7√3 = h – 7
h = 7√3 + 7 = 7 (√3 + 1)
or h = 7 (1.732 + 1) = 7(2.732)
or h = 19.124
or h = 19.20 m (approx.)
Hence, height of the tower is 19.20 m.

Question 13.
As observed from the top of a 75 m high lighthouse from the sea-level, the angles of depression of two ships are 30° and 45°. If one ship is exactly behind the other on the same side of the lighthouse, find the distance between the two ships.
Solution:

Let CD = 75 m be the height of light house and point D be top of light house from w’here angles of depression of two ships are 30° and 45° respectively. Various arrangements are as shown in the figure.

In right angled ∆BCD,
\(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{CD}}\) = cot 45°

or \(\frac{y}{75}\) = 1
or y = 75 m ……………(1)

Also, in right angled ∆ACD
\(\frac{\mathrm{AC}}{\mathrm{CD}}\) = cot 30°

or \(\frac{x+y}{75}\) = √3
or x + y = 75√3
or x + 75 = 75√3 [using (1)]
or x = 75√3 – 75
= 75 (√3 – 1)
= 75( 1.732 – 1)
= 75 (0.732)
or x = 54.90
Hence, distance between the two ships is 54.90 m.

Question 14.
A 1.2 m tall girl spots a balloon moving with the wind in a horizontal line at a height of 88.2 m from the ground. The angle of elevation of the balloon from the eyes of the girl at any instant ¡s 60°. After some time, the angle of elevation reduces to 30° (see fig.). Find the distance travelled by the balloon during the interval.

Solution:
Let ‘AB’ be the position of 1.2 m tall girl, at the point of the angles of elevation of balloon at
different distances are 30° and 60° respectively. Various arrangements are as shwon in th figure.
According to question,
FG = ED = CE – CD
= 88.2 m – 1.2 m
= 87 m

In right angled ∆AGF,
\(\frac{A G}{G F}\) = cot 60°

or \(\frac{x}{87}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)

or x = \(\frac{87}{\sqrt{3}}\) m.

Also, in right angled ∆ADE,
\(\frac{A D}{E D}\) = cot 30°

or \(\frac{x+y}{87}\) = √3

or x + y = 87√3
or \(\frac{87}{\sqrt{3}}\) + y = 87√3
or y = 87√3 – \(\frac{87}{\sqrt{3}}\)

or y = 87√3 – \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)

or y = 87 \(\frac{3-1}{\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\)

or y = \(\frac{87 \times 2 \times \sqrt{3}}{3}\)

or y = 58√3
or y = 58(1.732) = 100.456
or y = 100.456 m.
Hence, distance travelled by the balloon during the interval is 100.46 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 further t(me taken by the car to reach the foot of the tower.
Solution:
Let CD = h m. be the tower of height.
Let A be initial position of the car and after six seconds the car be at 13. The angles of depression at A and B are 30° and 60° respectively. Various arrangements are as shown in figure.

Let speed of the car be υ metre per second using formula, Distance = Speed x Time
AB = Distance covered by car in 6 seconds
AB = 6υ metre
Also, time taken by car to reach the tower be ‘n’ seconds.
∴ BC = nυ metre
In right angled ∆ACD.
\(\frac{\mathrm{CD}}{\mathrm{AC}}\) = tan 30°

or \(\frac{h}{6 v+n v}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)

or h = \(\frac{6 v+n v}{\sqrt{3}}\) ……………….(1)

Also, in right angled ∆BCD,
\(\frac{C D}{B C}\) = tan 60°

or \(\frac{h}{n v}\) = √3
h = nv (√3) ……….(2)

From (1) and (2), we get
\(\frac{6 v+n v}{\sqrt{3}}\) = nυ(√3)
or 6υ + nυ = nυ(√3)
or 6υ + nυ = 3nυ
or 6υ = 2nυ
or n = \(\frac{6 v}{2 v}\) = 3
Hence, time taken by car to reach the foot of tower is 3 seconds.

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:
Let CD = h m be the height of tower and B ; A be the required points which are at a distance of 4 m and 9 m from the tower respectively. Various arrangements are as shown in the figure.

In right angled ∆BCD
\(\frac{\mathrm{CD}}{\mathrm{BC}}\) = tan θ

or \(\frac{h}{4}\) = tan θ ………….(1)

Also, in right angled ∆ACD,
\(\frac{C D}{A C}\) = tan (90 – θ)

or \(\frac{h}{9}\) = cot θ

Multiplying (1) and (2), we get
\(\frac{h}{4} \times \frac{h}{9}\) = tan θ cot θ

or \(\frac{h^{2}}{36}=\tan \theta \times \frac{1}{\tan \theta}\)

or h² = 36 = (6)²
or h = 6
Hence, height of the tower is 6 m.

PSEB 8th Class English Grammar Tenses

Tense शब्द लातीनी भाषा के शब्द tempus से बना है जिसका अर्थ है समय (Time) । अर्थात् Tense हमें किसी कार्य या घटना के समय या काल का ज्ञान कराता है। नीचे दिए गए वाक्य पढ़ें:

1. I play some game daily.
2. I played cricket yesterday.
3. I shall play hockey tomorrow.

पहले वाक्य के verb (play) से Present Time का बोध होता है। दूसरे वाक्य के verb (played) से Past. Time का बोध होता है। तीसरे वाक्य के verb (shall play) से Future Time का बोध होता है। इस तरह-
(1) जिस verb से Present Time का बोध होता है, वह Present Tense कहलाता है-
I take bath in the morning.
I go for a walk in the evening.

(2) जिस verb से Past Time का बोध होता है, वह Past Tense कहलाता है
I took bath in the,morning.
I went for a walk in the evening.

(3) जिस verb से Future Time का बोध होता है, वह Future Tense कहलाता है
I shall take bath in the morning.
I shall go for a walk in the evening.
इस प्रकार तीन मुख्य Tenses हैं-

1. The Present Tense
2. The Past Tense
3. The Future Tense.

अब यह जान लेना भी आवश्यक है कि प्रत्येक काल में कार्य अथवा क्रिया (verb) की स्थिति भिन्न-भिन्न होती है। हो सकता है कि काम चल रहा हो। यह भी सम्भव है कि कार्य पूरा हो चुका हो अथवा किसी अनिश्चित (indefinite) स्थिति में हो। इस तरह कार्य की मुख्य रूप से चार अवस्थाएं होती हैं। हम यूं भी कह सकते हैं कि प्रत्येक मुख्य Tense के चार रूप होते हैं और कुल मिला कर 12 Tenses होते हैं। यहां हम इन सभी Tenses का अलग-अलग अध्ययन करेंगे।

1. Simple Present Tense
