Conventions of Writing

Read the sentences and observe the underlined words:

It’s neither a festival nor her birthday.
Today is going to be Mallika’s first day at school.
Observe the highlighted APOSTROPHE (’) in different words.
In the first sentence, the APOSTROPHE (’) is used to contract words, e.g. It’s = It is In the second sentence the APOSTROPHE (’) is used to show the possession.
e.g. Mallika’s first day = the first day of Mallika

Note: Don’t use APOSTROPHE with pronouns like ‘yours’, ‘hers’, ‘theirs’, ‘its’. For e.g. The tail of the catis black in colour. Here we should say… It’s black in colour.

a) When we contract the words, we say…
It is mine = it’s mine;
she is = she’s
we are = we’re
she has = she’s
It is a cat.
It’s licking its tail.
AP Board 5th Class English Solutions 1st Lesson Mallika Goes to School! 9

b) Possession in plurals:
We use an apostrophe ( ’) after the words if it is a plural word.
e.g. The high school of boys = Boys’ High School
The school of girls = Girls’ school

AP Board 5th Class English Solutions 1st Lesson Mallika Goes to School!

c) Irregular plural nouns:
For plural nouns like children, people, men, women etc., the apostrophe mark ( ’) comes after the word itself followed by ‘s’.
children’s books; people’s decision; men’s wear.

d) Singular nouns ending with ‘s’:

  • In the case of a singular noun that ends with ‘s’, (possessive ‘s’) is used after the word.
    e.g. orders of the boss = boss’s orders.
  • In the case of a proper noun, there is a choice
    The story of Jesus = Jesus ’ story / Jesus’s story
    The poetry of Keats = Keats’ poetry / Keats’s poetry

And I believe that there will be 2 – 3 teachers in mallika’s school. There will be 100-130 students in the school.

2. Good morning friends. I am Praneeth. In my school, there was no ramp. It was necessary for the children to have a ramp in schools. When I understood that it was important, I requested the head master to solve this. I also gave two three names of elderly people in the village. The headmaster sir and elders sat and discussed. The ramp was soon planned out. My father and his friends helped in the construction work of the ramp. Thus, we have the ramp. Everybody can come to school now.

3. Good morning all. I am Jackson. We play in our school every evening. I’d love children to play well. There was a boy who was unable to speak. He wanted to play with us. He wanted to join us. But he wouldn’t tell as that. I understood his idea. Then, I smiled at him. He smiled back. I signalled him with my hand to join us. At first, he hesitated. But when I called him again, he came to us. You know, he plays very well now.

There a group of passengers got into to the bus. There were no seats for them. There was a woman with a small kid in her arms. She was looking here and there to find a seat. But there was no seat. I extended my arms and tried to reach the kid. The kid didn’t come in to my arms. Then, I stood and offered my seat to mother. At first, she did not accept.

Find compound interest on Rs. 12600 for 2 years at 10% per annum compounded annually.    (Page No. 114)
Answer:
P = Rs. 12,600; R = 10%; n = 2 years
AP Board 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Comparing Quantities Using Proportion InText Questions 2
∴ Compound Interest = Amount – Principal = 15,246 – 12,600
∴ C.I. = Rs. 2646 /-

Question 3.
Find the number of conversion times the interest is compounded and rate for each.
i) A sum taken for 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) years at 8% per annum is compounded half yearly.
ii) A sum taken for 2 years at 4% per annum is compounded half yearly.     (Page No. 115)
Answer:
Compound interest will be calculated for every 6 months.
There will be 3 periods in 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) year.
∴ n = 3
∴ Rate of interest for half yearly = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 8% = 4%
∴ R = 4%; n = 3
ii) C.I. should be calculated for every 6 months.
There will be 4 time periods in 2 years.
∴ n = 4
∴ Rate of interest for half yearly = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 4% = 2%
∴ n = 4 ; R = 2%

Question 1.
Two times a number is 100% increase in the number. If we take half the number what would be the decrease in percent?    (Page No. 101)
Answer:
Increase percent of 2 times of a number = \(\frac{(2-1)}{1}\) × 100 = 1 × 100 = 100%
Half of the number = 1 – \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Decrease in percent = \(\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{1}\) × 100 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 100 = 50%

Question 3.
Preethi went to a shop to buy a dress. Its marked price is Rs. 2500. Shop owner gave 5% discount on it. On further insistence, he gave 3% more discount. What will be the final discount she obtained? Will it be equal to a single discount of 8%? Think, discuss with your friends and write it in your notebook. (Page No. 105)
Answer:
Marked price of a dress selected by Preethi = Rs. 2500
After allowing 5% of discount then S.P = M.P. – Discount%
= 2500 – \(\frac{5}{100}\) × 2500 = 2500 – 125 = Rs. 2375
Again 3% discount is allowed on Rs. 2375 then
S.P = 2375 – 3% of 2375
= 2375 – \(\frac{3}{100}\) × 2375 = 2375 – 71.25 = Rs. 2303.75
If 8% discount is allowed then S.P =
AP Board 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Comparing Quantities Using Proportion InText Questions 12
The S.P’s of both cases are not equal.
Discount on 5% + Discount on 3% = 125 + 71.25 = Rs. 196.25
Discount on 8% = Rs. 200
∴ Discounts are not equal which are obtained by Preethi.

Question 4.
What happens if cost price = selling price. Do we get any such situations in our daily life?
It is easy to find profit % or loss% in the above situations. But it will be more meaningful if we express them in percentages. Profit % is an example of increase percent of cost price and loss % is an example of decrease percent of cost price. (Page No. 106)
Answer:
If selling price is equal to cost price then either profit or loss will not be occurred.
In our daily life S.P. will not be equal to C.P. Then profit or loss will be occurred.
∴ Profit % = \(\frac{\text { Profit }}{\text { C.P. }}\) × 100;
Loss % = \(\frac{\text { Loss }}{\text { C.P. }}\) × 100.

Answer:
S.P of each T.V = Rs. 9,900
S.P of both T.Vs = 2 × 9,900 = Rs. 19,800
10% profit is allowed on first then C.P. =
AP Board 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Comparing Quantities Using Proportion InText Questions 13
10% loss is allowed on second then C.P.
AP Board 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Comparing Quantities Using Proportion InText Questions 14
C.P. of both T.V.’s = 9000 + 11000 = Rs. 20,000
Here C.P > S.P then loss will be occurred.
∴ Loss = C.P – S.P = 20000 – 19,800 = 200

Question 8.
i) Is getting a head complementary to getting a tail? Give reasons.   (Page No. 311)
Answer:
Number of outcomes favourable to head = 1
Probability of getting a head = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [P(E)]
Number of outcomes not favourable to head = 1
Probability of not getting a head = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [P(\(\overline{\mathrm{E}}\))]
Now P(E) + P(\(\overline{\mathrm{E}}\)) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 1
∴ Getting a head is complementary to getting a tail.

ii) In case of a die is getting a 1 comple-mentary to events getting 2, 3, 4, 5, 6? Give reasons for your answer.
Answer:
Yes. Complementary events.
∵ Probability of getting 1 = \(\frac{1}{6}\) [P(E)]
Probability of getting 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 = P(E) = P(\(\overline{\mathrm{E}}\)) = \(\frac{5}{6}\)
P(E) + P(\(\overline{\mathrm{E}}\)) = \(\frac{1}{6}\) + \(\frac{5}{6}\) = \(\frac{6}{6}\) = 1

Question 2.
Explain how diversity of living organisms helps in enriching any ecosystem.
Answer:

  1. The existence of the ecosystem depends on the continued survival of the organisms in the ecosystem.
  2. All organisms require energy for growth, reproduction and survival.
  3. This energy is obtained by the organisms from the food they consume.
  4. Plants are the producers producing food in any ecosystem. The animals present in the ecosystem are consumers as they consume food from plants.
  5. Some of the organisms in the ecosystem such as bacteria and fungi, obtained their nutritional requirements by decomposing the dead bodies of both producers and consumers.
  6. They retain nutrients to the soil for the plants to use. As the cycle begins again.
  7. Like this diversity of living organisms helps in enriching any ecosystem.

Question 3.
What happens when two animals having similar habits share one ecosystem?
Answer:
When two animals having similar habits, sharing one ecosystem , only the stronger and better equipped animal can survive, while the weaker one die or eliminated from the ecosystem. This is called ‘Survival of the fittest’.

Question 4.
What is the difference between habitat and ecosystem?
Answer:
Habitat is the natural living place of an organism or a group of organisms. Land and water are the major habitates.
An ecosystem is a Natural unit and has both Abiotic and biotic components, which interact and influence each other.

а) fox b) fungus c) chicken d) grass.
Answer:

  1. Grass is the producer.
  2. All green plants produce food materials with the help of carbondioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. So plants are called producers.
  3. As grass is the green plant and produce food for other animals, it is called producer.

Question 7.
What do you understand by food web? Describe your own food web with the help of diagrammatic representation.
Answer:

  1. A food web consists of several interlinked food chains and each organism in the food web will be a member of more than one food chain.
  2. For example rats and insects eat seeds and other plant parts. As their food.
  3. Insects are eaten by frogs and lizards.
  4. Rats and frogs are eaten by snakes.
  5. Lizards and snakes are eaten by birds.
  6. Birds are eaten by fox, wolves. These are eaten by tigers and lions.
  7. Thus a single plant or an animal may become food for more than one animal.
  8. Similiarly an animal may consume more than one type of food depending on its taste and availability in the ecosystem.
  9. Thus each organism in an ecosystem may be a member of more than one food chain.
  10. When we looked at these relationships between various organisms for food in the ecosystem, it appears that several food chains are interlinked with each other forming a food web.

  2. When more cats were added in that ecosystem all the mice would be eaten away by the cats it leads to the end of mice population.
  3. Because of lack of food, the cats, either have to leave the ecosystem or they die.
  4. If there is no continuity of the animals, the ecosystem would be destroyed.

Question 9.
List out producers (plants, bushes, trees), consumers (herbivores and carnivores) and decomposers that you observed in your agriculture field or school garden.
Answer:
Producers:
Plants – Grass plants, creepers like pumpkin, bottlegourd, etc.
Bushes – Rose, Jasmine, chrysanthemum, marigold.
Trees – Palm, coconut, mango, drumstick, lemon, sweet lemon, guava.
Consumers:
Herbivores – Goat, sheep, buffalo, ox, rats, butterflies, etc.

Question 10.
In grassland ecosystem, rabbit eats only plants. They eat plants faster than the plants can grow back. What must happen to bring the ecosystem into balance?
Answer:
The animals like fox, wolves, tigers, etc. which feed on rabbits will be introduced in that grass land ecosystem, then the rabbits will be controlled by them. Thus the ecosystem will comes into balance.

Question 11.
Plant, Tiger, Rabbit, Fox, Hawk.
Did you find any connection among the above list of things. If we remove Rabbit from the list what will happen?
Answer:

  1. Plant, tiger, rabbit, fox, hawk these are the animals living in an ecosystem and are interdepending one on the other, and maintaining a food web – Plants → Rabbit → Hawk → Fox → Tiger.
  2. A delicate balance is seen in nature between members of different species.
  3. Any disturbance in this balance affects the organisms in a food web.
  4. If we remove rabbit from the list the other animals like tiger, fox, hawk which are depending one on the other for food will die because of no food.
  5. All the organisms, big or small, have right to live on this planet as man. We should respect this and allow other organisms to live and share the wealth of this planet.
  6. “LIVE AND LET LIVE” should become our motto.

Question 12.
What do you understand by interdependency of animals and plants ? How do you appreciate ?
Answer:

  1. An ecosystem is made up of groups of living things and their environments.
    AP Board 8th Class Biology Solutions Chapter 7 Different Ecosystems 2
  2. Living things like plants, animals and microorganisms are known as biotic components and others like soil, water, sunlight etc are called as abiotic components of the ecosystem.
  3. All these organisms live together and interact with one another in many ways.
  4. There is a feeding relationship between plants and animals. Along with this an interdependence between plants and animals for space, reproduction, shelter, etc.
  5. All organisms in an ecosystem derive energy from food to live.
  6. The sun is the main source of energy for all living things.
  7. Plants being autotrophic, trap this energy through a process called photosynthesis and produce food to all living organisms. They are known as Primary producers.
  8. Animals as they can not prepare food, they consume plants directly or indirectly and called consumers.
  9. Living organisms like fungi and bacteria which are called decomposers, decay and decompose the dead animals of producers and consumers, and valuable nutrients to the soil for plants to use, as the cycle begins again.
  10. A delicate balance is seen in nature between plants and animals by interdependence one to the other for thousands of years, which is unreachable to the human brain.
