According to question,
Given :- 9th of the Month = Saturday. (day preceding Sunday)
∴ Day name repeats after 7 days.
Therefore, 9 – 7 = 2nd of the given month is also Saturday.
∴ 1st of the given month = Saturday - 1 day = Friday
Hence , Day 1st of the month will be Friday .

Given :

A sum of Rs. 10 is lend to be returned in 11 monthly instalments of Rs . 1 each interest being simple 

Formula used :

Simple interest = P × R× T /100 

Principal(P), Rate(R) and Time(T)

Calculation :

Let the rate of interest be R% per annum

⇒ Amount to be paid (if paid at the end of 11 months)

⇒ 10 + [10 × R × (11/12) / 100] = 10 + (11R/120)

⇒ Total effective payment = (Rs. 1 + interest on Rs. 1 for 10 months) + (Rs. 1 + interest on Rs. 1 for 9 months) + .... +(Rs. 1 + interest on Rs. 1 for 1 months) + Rs. 1

⇒ (1 + 1 × R × (10/12) / 100)   + (1 + 1 × R × (9/12) / 100) + .... + (1 + 1 × R × (1/12) / 100) + 1

⇒ (1 + 10R/1200) + (1 + 9R/1200) + .... + (1 + R/1200) + 1

⇒ 11 + R(1 + 2 + .... + 10)/1200

⇒ 11 + R(10 × 11 / 2)/1200

⇒ 11 + R(10 × 11 / 2)/1200

⇒ 11 + 11R/240 

Now we have, 

⇒ 10 + 11R/120 = 11 + 11R/240

⇒ 11R/240 = 1

⇒ R = 240/11 = 21× 9/11%

∴ Rate of interest is 21(9/11)%

Neonate is a term used to refer to the baby between birth and one month of age.

Key Points

• It refers to the newborn baby in the first month of life. A neonate, on average weighs about 2.8 kgs at birth.
• The skin is usually covered with a white wax-like coating which dries and begins to peel off after the birth.
• Neonates can see objects and people clearly when they are at a distance of 8 to 10 inches from their face.
• Neonates can distinguish the four basic taste - sweet sour salt and bitter. They are especially sensitive to touch on the mouth, face, soles of the feet and palms.

Hence, we conclude that neonates are infants during the first month.

Play: It is a physical as well as mental activity.
The important role of play in a children's life:

• Imagination: play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength.
• New competencies: play helps children to develop new competencies that lead to enhanced confidence and the resiliency they will need to face future challenges.

A Cumulative Record Card contains the results of different assessments and judgments held from time to time during the study of a student or pupil.

• A cumulative record is defined as “a permanent record of a student which is kept up-to-date by the school, it is his educational history with informa­tion about his school achievement, attendance, health, test scores, and similar pertinent data.”

Important Points
The Cumulative Record is characterized on the following grounds:

• The Cumulative Record is a permanent record about the pupil or student.
• It is maintained up to date. Whenever any new information is obtained about the pupil it is entered into the card.
• It presents a complete picture of the educational progress of the pupil, his past achievements, and his present standing.
• Confidential information about the pupil is not entered in the CRC but kept in a separate file.

Basic Principles that Should Govern the Maintenance of the CRC:

1. Accurate
2. Complete
3. Comprehensive
4. Objective
5. Usable
6. Valid

Additional Information
Family background is not included in the Cumulative Record.
Hence, we can conclude that the right answer to this question is family background.

Harm to student privacy is the major disadvantage of ICT in teaching and learning as the criminals, marketers, and other persons can easily get information from students when they are online. These could post danger to students’ lives or may even lead to litigation against the school. It also suppresses the student’s urge to learn further.

The term management comprises planning, organizing, staffing, controlling, directing, regulating and budgeting. School-based management offers a way to give various more control over what happens in schools.

Key Points

• For the effective functioning of School Management, the responsibility lies on its various stakeholders.
• The term stakeholders mean all those individuals, groups and organisations who have an interest in the school and its success.

• These stakeholders include the Principal, administrators, teachers, managers, non-teaching staff and parents (by actively participating in the school management committee, PTA meetings, etc), and other community members who play either a direct or indirect role in the efficient management of a school.

Hence, we conclude that the main responsibility of School Management lies on principle, teachers, and managers.

The School Management Committee, also known as SMC is a formal school-based management structure required in every school since the 2009 Right to Education (RTE) Act.

Key Points Section 21 of the Right to free and compulsory education act, 2009 mandates the formation of the school management committee (SMC) in each government primary and upper primary aided school in India.

• The members of a SMC include the parents or guardians of the children in the school, representatives of local authorities, community members, and teachers.
• The members are elected: as stipulated in the RTE Act, three-fourths (75%) of its members should be from the community of parents/guardians, and half should be women.
• There is also a provision for the inclusion of representatives from weaker sections (certain castes and tribes) of the population. The remaining one-fourth (25%) of SMC membership comprises equal numbers of local authorities, teachers.

Additional Information Roles and responsibilities of SMC:

• To monitor the working of the schools.
• To monitor the functioning of mid-day meals, toilets, and drinking water facilities.
• To monitor the attendance of students, teachers, and employees.
• To prepare and recommend a school development plan.

Thus, it is concluded that Student is not a member of the SMC.

Gender is the primary category that comes to our minds when we attempt to imagine any social/cultural life. We organize the world in terms of gender- the work people do, the clothes they wear, their behavior, their social groups, their tastes, and likes and dislikes.

Key Points

• The word gender is used as a conceptual category. This refers to an inter-related set of ideas about a man or a woman. Society differentiates men and women and allots to their different social roles.
  • So in a society, there are different roles that men and women undertake. For instance, men become breadwinners for the family and women become the nurturers.
• Sex refers to the biological differences between male and female bodies, while gender refers to everything else that goes into making us “men” and “women”
  • While our biological birth defines us as a man or a woman, society has differentiated the roles based on genders.

Thus by all these references, we can conclude that Sex is biological while gender is socially constructed.

Additional Information Gender-biased culture can be reduced by-

• Treating the girls and the boys equally.
• Gave the same and equal opportunity to all the students without making any difference between them.
• Promoting flexibility in the classroom.
• Presenting Non-stereotypical sex roles, such as a girl riding the bike, or a boy cooking in a kitchen.
• Engagement of every student in all the activities without distinguishing them.
• The sitting arrangement of all the boys and girls should not be separated.

The projected teaching method is a visual instructional device that is shown with a projector. Examples: slides, filmstrip, silent films, cartoons, etc. projected through an opaque projector (epidiascope), or an overhead projector.
Key Points
The overhead projector projects the picture over the head of the speaker on the screen. It is used in training programs, group meetings, seminars, symposiums, workshops, etc.

• It is a very large projected image in a minimum projection distance that is obtainable.
• The comparatively lighter weight of equipment makes it portable.
• Makes the talk dynamic and sustains audience interest.
• Complex ideas may be clearly presented.
• It saves time in presenting the talk.
• Easy to prepare and project the instructional materials.
• Materials for transparencies are cheap and easily available.
• The projection may be synchronized with the talk by facing the audience and observing their reaction.
• Effective visuals can be made in a minimum time and at a low cost.

Thus, it is concluded that the overhead projector is an example of a projected teaching method.
Additional Information

Teaching aid: anything used by a teacher to make the teaching more effective as well as interesting to the students. For example, pictures, videos, audio-visual aids, flashcards, etc.
Characteristics of a good teaching aid:

• It should be large enough that everybody can see it clearly.
• It should be accurate in every respect
• Teaching aids are used purposefully i.e.
• It should be updated from time to time
• A teaching aid should be simple, cheap, and improvised
• It should be easily portable
• Accurate and realistic to understand the level of teaching
• Teaching aids help to engage students in learning as well as make the teaching-learning process more interesting

Important Point
From the characteristics stated above, one can understand the teaching aid should be large preferably. For more clarity follow the example, a teacher has prepared a map of India on an A4 page for a class of 30 students. No one is able to understand the map even see the map clearly. The next day he brings a wall map and it becomes easily understandable to all.

Therefore, 'It should be very small' is not a characteristic of good teaching aid.

Education is a lifelong process that modifies the behavior and personality of individuals thus develops them as a whole by providing nourishing and burden-free environments. Key Points

• On the 26th of August 2009, the Indian Parliament passed a historic act known as the ‘Right to Education Act’ or RTE Act but the RTE Act was implemented in India with effect from 1st April 2010.
• It is an act that aims to provide free and compulsory education to all children between the age of 6 to 14 years in India under Article 21A of the Indian Constitution.

Evaluation is done to assess or evaluate someone's performance in a specified field. It is a component of assessment in education. The teacher does the evaluation of the student's performance do analysis and to get an idea of the achievement of a student.

• Co-scholastic activities are those activities that are usually outside the normal classroom and do not provide any academic grades. They supplement the classroom curriculum and complement the learning.​

Key Points

Co-scholastic areas include dance, painting, art and craft, drama, sculpture, music, and other forms of visual and performing arts, work education, and morals. All these co-scholastic areas can be evaluated by observing how a child is performing, improving, using innovation and his own abilities.

• All these activities help a teacher to identify the inner talents of a child. The teachers are also able to test the decision-making and problem-solving abilities of a child while evaluating his co-scholastic areas.
• The teacher uses the various methods of evaluation to evaluate the co-scholastic areas:
  • Observation method - The teacher observes the mental processes, physical activity, and his way of behaving while performing.
  • Reinforcement method - The teacher provides feedback to the students and reinforces them to improve their skills and abilities. It includes peer appraisal where the achievements are being appraised by their peers.
  • Competition method - The teacher conducts a small competition to assess their skills and abilities and reward the winning students. It helps a student to self - appraise his own achievement and talents which will push him for further improvement.

Hence, it could be concluded that the all above-mentioned evaluation techniques can be used for the assessment of pupils' growth in co-scholastic areas.

School management is the process of managing different aspects of education and school. School committee and authorities are responsible for school management and it involves things like over-viewing students' performance, curriculum management, etc.

• Good school management is a continuous process, that is it continuously manages the school to be best in education and other activities.

Thus, it can be concluded that bringing out partial improvement and efficiency in schools is not a characteristic of good school management.

Teaching-learning is a purposeful activity that requires wholehearted participation of both the teacher and the learners. A teaching aid or instructional aid is anything used by a teacher to teach a lesson or make it more interesting to students.

• Teaching aids can come in almost any form. Some of the most common are pictures, videos, charts, flashcards, and objects, like three-dimensional models or educational toys, etc.
• The process of teaching-learning depends upon the different types of equipment(aids) available in the classroom. These are used by the teacher to make the concepts clear.

Important Points

Key PointsTypes of teaching aids:

• Audio aids: These aids stimulate the hearing sense of the learner. It includes the human voice, telephonic conversation, audio discs/tapes, gramophone records, Radio broadcasts.
• Visual aids:- These types of TLMs involve the sense of vision. They stimulate visual impulses. Example, blackboard, textbook, picture cards, abacus, etc.
• Audio-Visual aids: These are the projected aids, which use both auditory and visual senses to enhance learning. These include Motion Picture Film, Television, Video discs, etc.

Thus, it is concluded that Abacus is an example of a visual-based category of teaching aids.

A puppeteer uses different forms of puppets to enhance the learning process of students. Fingers and hands puppets are a common form, which exists, where the puppets are simply controlled by fingers and hands. There are no terms as toes or feet puppets unless the puppeteer is handicapped and passionate enough to make it happen.
