A wire is bent to form a square of side 22 cm. If the wire is rebent to form a circle, then its radius will be: 

Detailed Solution: Question 3

Given:

The side of the square = 22 cm

Formula used:

The perimeter of the square = 4 × a (Where a = Side of the square)

The circumference of the circle = 2 × π × r (Where r = The radius of the circle)

Calculation:

Let us assume the radius of the circle be r

⇒ The perimeter of the square = 4 × 22 = 88 cm

⇒ The circumference of the circle = 2 × π × r

⇒ 88 = 2 × (22/7) × r

⇒ 

⇒ r = 14 cm

∴ The required result will be 14 cm.

Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
The quality of our urban life is abysmal and falling. Painfully long power cuts are a quotidian reality in most cities, barring their privileged enclaves. So it is a crippling scarcity of potable water, which forces the lower middle class household to spend 5 per cent or more of its income on buying bottled water or purifying the poor-quality water it gets from the municipal tap or, increasingly, bore wells, most of which are illegal and savagely depleting and contaminating groundwater. Most Indian cities are unsafe, especially for women , but also for pedestrians and users of non-mechanized transport like bicycles. Old people, whose number are growing rapidly, cannot possibly feel secure in negotiating our urban spaces. No Indian city is disabled-friendly. And the vast majority of our cities and towns have no pavements or footpaths worth the name. Worse, our cities are turning uglier by the day as parks and greenery are devoured.

Q. What problem the urban people are facing?

Detailed Solution: Question 14

The problem of contamination of water is being faced by the people. The author says that there is poor quality of water.
