Question

A survey was conducted in the National Capital in over twenty schools about 40 different activities that interest the children in the age group of 13 years to 15 years. Write a paragraph in not more than 120 words, analyzing the following information.

Answer in Brief

Solution

In a survey conducted in the National Capital across twenty school on the areas of interest of the children in the age group 13 to 15 years, some interesting data was thrown up. The survey indicated that music related activities were most sought after, with sixty percent (60%) of the children showing a general inclination towards it. Cricket turned out to be second popular activity with forty percent (40%) of the students being avid players of the game. Theatre occupied the interests of thirty-five percent (35%) of the respondents surveyed. Finally Art of Dance each seem to have captured the imagination of twenty five percent (25%) of the children. It is seen that each child in unique with a different set of interests. Of course the survey was limited to the National Capital and by any means it cannot be extrapolated as the interests of children across the country. A survey was conducted in more than twenty schools in New Delhi about the different activities that interest the children in the age group of 13 years to 15 years. It was amazing to know that it was not playing cricket in which maximum students showed their interest. Rather music interests the maximum number of school children. Then, with a great margin, cricket becomes their second choice. It may be due to the reason that during corona period, children had to shift their preference to solo and indoor activities. Once more, with a slight variation, kids tend to be interested in theatre. Unexpectedly, these aspiring artists have ranked dance and art as their last but not least preference. Above all, the poll made clear the 'healthy' reality that developing kids prefer actual activities to digital ones.

Iron meteorites are mostly made of metals nickel and iron. They are not very common. Nearly 50,000 years ago, an iron meteorite, Canyon Diablo, which created a crater a nearly a mile wide and 6 feet deep, known as Meteor Crater, was found in Arizona.
 
Stony – iron meteorites rarely land on our planet. They are made of iron – nickel alloy mixed with non – metallic matter similar to the outer layers of the earth. Such a meteorite weighing more than one and a half tons was found in Huckitta, Australia in 1924.
 
There are three sub – types of stony meteorites. The first is the chondrites which make up 86 percent of meteorites.
Carbonaceous chondrites are another rare type of stony meteorites. The most famous of these fell in Murchison, Australia in 1969. It contains evidence that life on earth did not begin here. The last type, the anchondrites are also rare. Scientists say that such matter was once part of Mars and our own moon.
