Given :

The average marks of 40 students of a class was 73.5.

Average marks of girls = 76, And average marks of boys = 72

Formula used :

Average =

Calculation :

Let the number of girls be 'x'

Then, no. of boys = 40 - x

Total sum of marks 40 students = 40 x 73.5 = 2940

Total marks of boys = (40 - x) × 72

Total marks of girls = 76 × x

So, 2940 = (40 - x) × 72 + 76 × x

⇒ 2940 = 2880 - 72x + 76x

⇒ 60 = 4x

⇒ x = 15

The ratio of boys and girls = (40 - x) : x

⇒ 40 - 15 : 15

⇒ 25 : 15 = 5 : 3

∴ The answer is 5 : 3.

Physical development refers to the changes in size, structure, and proportion of the body that take place from the time of conception. Bodily growth occurs through approximately the first 20 years of life in humans. Growth is more rapid and more likely to show spurts during infancy, early childhood, and adolescence than during middle childhood.

Key Points

• The physical development of a child is primarily determined by heredity.
• Heredity refers to inborn traits and capacities.
• These inborn capacities are transmitted from parents to the child.
• Each child receives 23 pairs of chromosomes (half from the father and half from the mother).
• These chromosomes are considered to be the carriers of characteristics from parents to children.
• Arnold Gesell believes that the behavior of an individual is totally determined by hereditary factors.
• Heredity affects growth and physical body development.

• In its natural state, at room temperature, polonium is solid metal with a silver color.
• Polonium-210 is one of 25 known radioactive isotopes of polonium.
• Because it is a naturally occurring element that releases a huge amount of energy, many sources cite polonium as the most radioactive element.
• Polonium is so radioactive it glows blue, which is caused by the excitation of the gas particles by radiation.
• Rare and highly radioactive metal with no stable isotopes, polonium is chemically similar to selenium and tellurium, though its metallic character resembles that of its horizontal neighbors in the periodic table thallium, lead, and bismuth.

Additional Information

• Uranium is a chemical element with the symbol U and atomic number 92.

In a learner-centered approach, the ‘learner’ or ‘child’ and not the ‘teacher’ is the main focus of the educational program. It emphasizes ‘learning’ rather than ‘teaching’. The overall goal of education, according to this approach is all-around development of the child and not only that of acquiring knowledge.

• Curriculum, according to this approach, should be based upon the needs, interests, aptitudes, and abilities of learners at different levels so that it enables them to acquire the necessary skills, knowledge, attitudes, and values for realizing their full potential.
• Learners are active participants in the process of learning.
• Learners engage themselves in need-based activities under the supervision of a teacher.
• Learners select content, activities, and experiences according to their academic and social needs.
• Project method, co-operative learning, problem-solving all are learner-centered teaching-learning strategies.

Key Points

• The lecture method is a teacher-centered teaching-learning strategy. It is teacher-controlled, the teacher can bring flexibility into the classroom through learners’ participation.
• The teacher uses a lecture method that involves, primarily, an oral presentation given him/her to a group of learners. Many lectures are supplemented by some sort of visual aid, such as a slideshow, a word document, an image, or a film.
• The lecture method makes the learning process mostly effortless on the part of learners, who need only to pay attention during the lecture and take notes when they feel necessary. Because so little input is required from learners, it’s the clearest, straightforward, and uncomplicated way to impart learners large quantities of information.

Important Points

• Problem-solving is a learner-centered approach to instruction. Problem-solving is often used synonymously with inquiry. It presupposes that learners can take on some of the responsibility for their own learning and take personal action to solve problems, resolve conflicts, discuss alternatives and focus on thinking as a vital element of the curriculum. It provides learners with opportunities to use their newly acquired knowledge in meaningful, real-life activities and assists them in working at higher levels of thinking.
• Cooperative learning is a set of teaching strategies used to help learners meet specific learning and interpersonal goals in structured groups. It helps the learners to achieve two types of goals, i.e. learning goals and interpersonal goals. This implies that cooperative learning is conducive for the improvement of students' learning achievement as well as for the development of interpersonal skills.
• The project method of teaching is one of the learner-centered methods of teaching in which the curriculum content is considered from the child's point of view and is related to his needs and interest in the context of real-life situations. It implies that activities in the schools need to be closely connected with the child's daily life and needs.

Thus, it is concluded that Lecture is NOT a learner-centered teaching-learning strategy.

Calculation:
0.002 × 0.5 = 2/1000 × 5/10
⇒ 10/10000
⇒ 1/1000
⇒ 0.001

Some tigers are cranes.

All jackals are tigers.

Venn diagram:

Conclusions:

I. Some bears are tigers. → Follow → (As all cranes are bears and some tigers are cranes. So, some bears are tigers is definite follow)

II. All jackals are bears. → Does not follow → (As some bears are tigers and all jackals tigers. So all jackals are bears is possible but not definite follow)

According to the given conditions,
There are total 37 students.
Ramesh got 9th position from the top, while Dinesh's rank was 6 places below Ramesh.
That means Dinesh's position from the top will be (9 + 6 = 15)
So, the final arrangement will be as;

So,
Number of students below Dinesh = Total number of students - (Dinesh's position from the top)
= 37 - 15
= 22
Therefore, 22 students were ranked below Dinesh.
Hence, the correct answer is "22".

BODMAS Rule:

Lets check each option:

1) + and -After interchanging signs, we get:
⇒ 97 × 23 +18 - 9 ÷ 3
⇒ 97 × 23 + 18 - 3
⇒ 2231 + 23 - 3
⇒ 2254 - 3
⇒ 2251 ≠ 66

2) × and ÷
After interchanging signs, we get:
⇒ 97 ÷ 23 - 18 + 9 × 3
⇒ 4.217 - 18 + 9 × 3
⇒ 4.217 - 18 + 27
⇒ 4.217 - 45
⇒ 40.783 ≠ 66

3) × and +
After interchanging signs, we get:
⇒97 + 23 - 18 × 9 ÷ 3
⇒ 97 + 23 - 18 × 3
⇒ 97 + 23 - 54
⇒ 120 - 54

⇒ 66 = 66

4) ÷ and -
After interchanging signs, we get:
⇒97 × 23 ÷ 18 + 9 - 3
⇒ 97 × 1.27 + 9 - 3
⇒ 123.94 + 9 - 3
⇒ 132.94 - 3
⇒ 129.94 ≠ 66

Hence, 'option 3' is the correct answer.

According to the English alphabets and their positional values:
