36 Siya being a plant lover came up with an idea of 1+1+
opening a nursery during the lockdown and she 2
bought a few plants with pots. She wants to place pots
in such a way thatnumber of pots in row one is 3, pots
in row second is 5 and in third is 7 and so on.

Q (i): What is the difference in number of pots increasing per row?

Q (ii): What will be the number of pots in row 5?

area of a garden to understand theheights, distances 2
and various other mathematical measurement
parameters.The above positions A, B, C, D, E and F are
for the plants grown in the garden.
Garderner's position is at origin (0,0). He grows the
plant A first, then B, C, D, E and F as according to the
alphabetical manner.

Q (i): Where is the plant F grown?

Q (ii): How far apart are plants A and B grown ?
Q (iii): Find the coordinates of the point which divides the line segment of plant C and D
in 1:1.

38 A boy 4 m tall spots a pigeon sitting on the top of a
pole of height 54m from the ground. The angle of 1+1+
elevation of the pigeon from the eyes of boy at any 2
instant is 600. The pigeon flies away horizontally in
such a way that it remained at a constant height from
the ground. After 8 seconds, the angle of elevation of
the pigeon from the same point is 45 0. Based on the
above information answer the following questions
(take √3=1.73 )

Q. (i) Find the distance between the boy and the pole.
Q. (ii) If the distance between the positions of pigeon increases, then what will be the
effect on the angle of elevation ?
Q. (iii) Find the distance of first position of the pigeon from the eyes of the boy .
OR
