Solution:
We draw a number line.
We start from 0 move 5 units at a time to right.
We make 2 such moves. We shall reach at 10.
PSEB 6th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Whole Numbers Ex 2.1 9

We draw a number line.
We start from 0, move 5 units at a time to right.
We make 3 such moves. We shall reach at 15.
PSEB 6th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Whole Numbers Ex 2.1 10
So, 3 × 5 = 15

Question (j)
9 ÷ 3
We draw a number line.
Starting from 0, we move 9 units to the right of 0 to arrive at A.
Now, from A take moves of 3 units to the left of A till we reach at ‘O’. We observe that there are 3 moves.
PSEB 6th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Whole Numbers Ex 2.1 11
So, 9 ÷ 3 = 3.

Question (k)
12 ÷ 4
We draw a number line.
Starting from 0, we move 12 units to the right of 0 to arrive at A.
Now, from A take moves of 4 units to the left of A till we reach at ‘O’. We observe that there are 3 moves.
PSEB 6th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Whole Numbers Ex 2.1 12
So, 12 ÷ 4 = 3.

PSEB 6th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Whole Numbers Ex 2.1

Question (l)
10 ÷ 2
Solution:
We draw a number line.
Starting from 0, we move 10 units to the right of 0 to arrive at A.
Now, from A take moves of 2 units to the left c A till we reach at ‘O’. We observe that there are 5 moves.

The property to which the owner has a personal right is called private property. No one can use this property without the permission of its owner. Privately owned houses, shops, motor cycles, scooters, etc. are good examples of private property.

On the other hand, public property is the property to which all of us have a common right. Roads, buses, railways, hospitals, schools, post offices, etc. are some examples of public property.

7. Long Answer Type Questions:

Question (i)
Explain the uses of water.
Answer:
Water is a very vital resource and is used for many purposes. Some of the uses of water are mentioneded below :
Uses of Water.

  1. It maintains temperature on earth.
  2. It is used for drinking, bathing, washing, etc.
  3. Running or flowing water is used for generating electricity.
  4. It is used for irrigation of crops.
  5. It is also used for cleanng, cooking, watering plants, etc.

Question (ii)
Explain water cycle with diagram.
Answer:
Water cycle in nature. Water falls on earth in the form of rain, dew, snow etc. This
PSEB 6th Class Science Solutions Chapter 14 Water 1
water falls in ponds, streams, oceans and some water seeps down the earth. With the heat of sun, the water evaporates from the streams, ponds, oceans etc. and fills the atmosphere with water vapours. These water vapours on cooling get condensed and form clouds. These clouds come back on earth in form of rains. So, this cycle goes on.

Question (iii)
Why there is need to conserve water ? Write technique of rain water harvesting.
Answer:
Fresh water is only 2.59% on earth and is in very low amount that can be used for drinking or human consumption. So, we must conserve the water.

Rain Harvesting. It is a technique which involves collection and storage of rain water and its reuse, it is the simplest and oldest method.

Techniques of rain harvesting. The most commonly used technique used for rain water harvesting is roof top rain water harvesting.

Roof Top Rain Water harvesting. In this rain water is collected on the roof of house and then stored in storage tank through pipes. This stored water can be used for any purpose.

Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
Write few uses of water.
Answer:
Uses of water.

  1. For drinking, bathing, washing etc.
  2. For cooking, cleaning, watering the plants etc.
  3. For crop growth.
  4. For generating electricity.
  5. In many industries like textile industries and food processing industries.

Question 2.
What is evaporation ? Which factors increase the evaporation ?
Answer:
Evaporation. The process of conversion of liquid into its vapours is called evaporation. Factors responsible for increasing evaporation are :

  • Wind. More wind results in speedy evaporation
  • Sunlight. More sunlight increases the speed of evaporation. This is why evaporation is fast during summer and slow during winter.
  • Exposed Surface Area. When the surface area is large, the speed or rate of evaporation is high.
  • Humidity. If the humidity in the surrounding is high then the speed of evaporation is low and if the humidity is low then the rate of evaporation is low.

Question 3.
Water disappears from the wet clothes. Why ?
Answer:
Heat from sun converts water into water vapours which get disappeared in the air.

Question 4.
What are clouds ?
Answer:
Clouds are nothing but condensed water vapours in the sky.

PSEB 6th Class Science Solutions Chapter 14 Water

Question 5.
Why is sea water not fit for drinking purposes ?
Answer:
Sea water contains many salts in it thus giving water a salty or saline taste. This salty water is not fit for drinking purposes.

Question 6.
What are effects of excessive rains ?
Answer:
Effects of excessive rains.

  • Excessive rains will increase the level of water in ponds, rivers, seas etc. resulting in floods.
  • Excessive rains can result in floods. These floods can cause damage to property, life and crops.

Question 7.
What is rain water harvesting ? Why is it done ?
Answer:
Rain water harvesting. The collection of rain water in tanks etc. is called rain water harvesting.
Need of rain water harvesting. We must do rain harvesting because of the following reasons :

  1. To increase the availability of water.
  2. To store water for later use when its scarcity is felt.

Long Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
List sources of water. Explain briefly.
Answer:
Sources of water. At homes we get water from taps, but the main sources of water are :
(i) Ponds
(ii) Lakes
(iii) Rivers
(iv) Wells
(v) Sea water
(vi) Rain.

(i) Ponds. Ponds are low lying areas in which rain water or river water gets collected.

(ii) Lakes. Lakes are natural sources of water. They may contain salts in them.

(iii) Rivers. Rivers contain water formed by melting of snow on the mountains. These rivers many be flowing all year round or temporarily during a particular season. These rivers also have rain water in it. There may be or may not be impurities in them.

(iv) Wells. A part of rain-water seeps into the ground through soil. It reaches the bottom areas of earth’s crust and collects there as a water body. This water is put to use by bor wells and hand pumps.

(v) Sea water. Oceans are big reservoirs of water. Most of the rivers fall into the sea and thus carry dissolved salts and impurities into the sea. That is why, sea water is salty in taste.

(vi) Rain. The rain drops in the form of a cloud are almost pure. But rain water gets contaminated due to gases from atmosphere, particulate matter, acid fumes and micro-organisms floating in the air. We get rain only during specific period i.e. monsoon season in our country.

Question 2.
What is Rain ? What will happen if it does not rain at all ?
Answer:
Rain. When the water vapours in the cloud become too heavy, it falls back to the ground as rain. The earth receives heavy rain at some part of the year. Some parts do not get enough of rainfall. It affects the human, plants and animal life. If at certain places there will not be rain for a year then the soil becomes dry and drought. As most of the soil water evaporates and transpirates from the plants, rivers, ponds and wells, it will dry and water table would lower down. All this affects the humans, animals and wild plants. If it continues for one or two years in continuation, it results into drought.

Question 3.
What will happen if it keeps raining continuously ?
Answer:
Consequences of continuous rains. Rains bring a lot of enjoyment and pleasant weather especially after hot days. However, if it rains heavily, you might have noticed water getting collected here and there and at times causing disruption of normal life.

In case of continuous rains the water level of rivers, lakes and ponds will rise. The soil surface will get laden with water resulting into flood. When the soil gets too much of water, air in the soil comes out of it. Due to lack of air the animals living inside the soil also come out of it. Heavy rains also result in the loss of crops due to overflooding.

Question 4.
Explain and draw a neat diagram of water cycle in nature.
Answer:
Answer:
Water cycle in nature. Water falls on earth in the form of rain, dew, snow etc. This
PSEB 6th Class Science Solutions Chapter 14 Water 1
waterfalls in ponds, streams, oceans, and some water seep down the earth. With the heat of the sun, the water evaporates from the streams, ponds, oceans, etc., and fills the atmosphere with water vapours. These water vapours on cooling get condensed and form clouds. These clouds come back on earth in form of rains. So, this cycle goes on.
