प्रश्न
There are two beautiful lakes near a village. People come for boating and picnics in both the lakes. The village Panchayat is worried that with the noise of the boats the birds will stop coming. The Panchayat wants motorboats in only one lake. The other lake will be saved for the birds to make their nests.
- Find the area of lake B on the drawing in square cm. What is its actual area in square km?
उत्तर
Lake B has 15 fully filled squares and 11 half-filled or more than half-filled squares.
- Area of 15 fully filled squares
= 15 × 15
= 225 square cm
We consider the area of every single half-filled or more than half-filled square as 1-centimetre square.
- Thus, the area of 11 such squares
= 11 × 11
= 121 square cm - So, the total area of lake B
= 225 + 121
= 346 square cm
We are given 1 cm on drawing = 1 km on the ground
Therefore, 346 square cm on drawing = 346 km

In an experiment to estimate the size of a molecule of oleic acid 1 mL of oleic acid is dissolved in 19 mL of alcohol. Then 1 mL of this solution is diluted to 20 mL by adding alcohol. Now 1 drop of this diluted solution is placed on water in a shallow trough. The solution spreads over the surface of water forming one molecule thick layer. Now, lycopodium powder is sprinkled evenly over the film and its diameter is measured. Knowing the volume of the drop and area of the film we can calculate the thickness of the film which will give us the size of oleic acid molecule.
Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:
- Why do we dissolve oleic acid in alcohol?
- What is the role of lycopodium powder?
- What would be the volume of oleic acid in each mL of solution prepared?
- How will you calculate the volume of n drops of this solution of oleic acid?
- What will be the volume of oleic acid in one drop of this solution?
