Question 1.
One honey bee hive consists of different types of bees. What are they? How they differ from each other?
Answer:

  1. Honey bee species are social insects, which lives in colonies.
  2. A honey bee colony consists of three types of bees.
  3. One queen, several thousands of workers and few hundreds of drones.
  4. There is only one queen bee in a colony. The primary function of a queen is to lay eggs (800 – 1200 eggs per day). The life span of queen is two to three years.
  5. A worker has 5-6 weeks and the drone has 57 days of life span.
  6. There are sterile female which are called workers in the hive. These bees attend to indoor duties during first three weeks during first three weeks of their lives such as secretion of royal jelly, feeding of the brood.
  7. After three weeks they attend outdoor duties like collecting nector, pollen and water.
  8. Drones are the male members of the colony. They are very lazy and unable to gather food. Their main duty is participating in mating, after this they die.

  7. It yields about 8 litres of milk/day/animal and about 1800 – 2200 litres per year.

Question 3.
Explain the process of hatching eggs under broody hen in rural areas.
Answer:

  1. Hatching of eggs is an interesting process.
  2. The common village hen has less care and attention.
  3. So it’s productivity is low.
  4. It has the capacity to lay 15 to 20 eggs an egg per day respectively.
  5. After that the hen becomes a broody state (wish to hatch the egg).
  6. In this process the people of the house arrange the eggs in such a way that the broody hen can sit comfortably on the eggs to hatch.
  7. The hen sits on the eggs stretching its wings to provide heat to the eggs, to develop chicks inside the eggs.
  8. It takes 21 days to the chicks emerges out by breaking the egg shell. This process is called incubation.
  9. Almost all the eggs hatch into chicken but some eggs which do not get sufficient heat from the broody hen become rotten.

Question 4.
Write about the accessory products produced in animal husbandry.
Answer:
Milk, meat, eggs, wool are the accessory products of animal husbandry.

Question 5.
What is estuaries, how they are suitable for both marine and river fish to live?
Answer:

  1. Estuary is the place where river joins the sea usually called mouth of the river. In this area fresh water (with low salt content from the river) is mixed up with sea water (with high salt content).
  2. When the wave action is strong or during high tide, large amount of sea water mixes with river water. In fact sea flows deep into the river.
  3. During low tide and when the wave action is weak, less amount of sea water mixes with river water.
  4. Because of this, salt content of the water in the estuary changes very rapidly.
  5. Animals living in the estuary should tolerate and adopt to rapid changes in the salt content of water.

Sea Weeds:
Sea weeds constitute an important marine resource and are found along the Rocky intertidal and subtidal regions of the coasts of India. The Sundarbans, the Chilka lake, the deltas of Godavari and Krishna. Gulf of Mannar. Palk bay Gujarath coast and around Lakshadweep, Andaman and Nikobar Islands are areas rich in sea weeds. They are used for human consumption, as cattle and poultry feed, as manure and for industrial purposes as the source phyco colloids like Agar-agar.

Sea Kelps:
Kelps are the largest sea weeds belonging to the brown algae (phaeophyceae) in the order laminariales.
Kelps grow in under water in shallow oceans, it has a high rate of growth and it’s decay is quite efficient in yielding methane as well as sugars that can be converted into ethanol.
It has been proposed that large open ocean, kelp farms could serve as a source as renewable source of energy.
Unlike some biofuels, such as corn, ethanol, Kelp energy avoids “food verses fuel” issues and does not require irrigation.

Question 14.
Conversion of agricultural lands into fish ponds leads to food crisis and environmental pollution. Write your opinion to conduct in debate on this issue.
Answer:

  1. Fish culture is not new to our country. Even today in several villages, fishes are grown in small ponds in the backyard of the houses. Besides this, growing of fishes in rice fields is also more common in villages. In fact fish production is considered as second crop for farmers, the primary crop being rice.
  2. Fish culture is sometimes practised in combination with a rice crop, so that fish are grown in the water in the paddy field.
  3. Growing fish in paddy field is also multi-utilitarian practice. The reason for this are the increasing use of inorganic fertilizers and insecticides in paddy fields which cause deleterious effects on fish and predation for birds, snakes etc.
  4. Cultivating fish in paddy fields lower diseases like stem borers on paddy.
  5. If the agricultural fields are converted to fish pond, food grains would not be sufficient for the growing population. This leads to food crisis.
  6. But ours is a agricultural country. So agriculture will be done in the crop seasons, and in the unseason they can convert to fish pond.
  7. The places where it is near to the water sources farmers can utilize these places for growing fish.

  4. Feeding: The balanced feed must have nutrients, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, vitamins and water in sufficient quantities. Minerals like calcium, phosphorus, iodized salt, manganese and zinc are useful for better yield of eggs and meat.
  5. Diseases: Poultry chicken are known to suffer from bacterial, fungal and viral diseases. Fowl cholera, salmonellasis and coryza are the common bacterial diseases. Fowl pox and Rani kher are the dreaded viral diseases.
    Fowl mite, chicken mite, fleas, licks, lice etc., are known to be present on the external surface of the poultry chicken and cause diseases and are therefore called as external parasites.
    Round worm, tape worm and coccidiosis are categorized as internal parasites.
  6. Prevention and control: Prevention is always better than cure. For most of the diseases vaccines are now available. Newly born chicken should be vaccinated. A wide range of antibiotics, particularly broad spectrum sulfa drugs are widely used for treatment for poultry diseases. When a bird is identified to be suffering from a disease, it should be immediately to be isolated.

If A = 2y2 + 3x – x2, B = 3x2 – y2 and C = 5x2 – 3xy then find          [Pg. No. 250]
(i) A + B (ii) A – B (iii) B + C (iv) B – C (v) A + B + C (vi) A + B – C
Answer:
A = 2y2 + 3x – x2, B = 3x2 – y2, C = 5x2 – 3xy
i) A + B = (2y2 + 3x – x2) + (3x2 – y2)
= (2y2 – y2) + 3x + (3x2 – x2)
∴ A + B = y2 + 3x + 2x2 = 2x2 + 3x + y2

ii) A – B = (2y2 + 3x – x2) – (3x2 – y2)
= 2y2 + 3x – x2 – 3x2 + y2
∴ A – B = 3y2 + 3x – 4x2

iii) B + C = (3x2 – y2) + (5x2 – 3xy)
= 3x2 + 5x2 – y2 – 3xy
∴ B + C = 8x2 – y2 – 3xy

iv) B – C = (3x2 – y2) – (5x2 – 3xy)
= 3x2 – y2 – 5x2 + 3xy
∴ B – C = – 2x2 – y2 + 3xy

v) A + B + C = A + (B + C)
= (2y2 + 3x – x2) + (8x2 – y2 – 3xy)
= (8x2 – x2) + (2y2 – y2) + 3x – 3xy
∴ A + B + C = 7x2 + y2 + 3x – 3xy

vi) A + B – C = A + (B – C)
= (2y2 + 3x – x2) + (-2x2 – y2 + 3xy)
= (2y2 – y2) + (-x2 – 2x2) + 3x + 3xy :
∴ A + B – C = y2 – 3x2 + 3x + 3xy

(ii) (3x + 2y) (3y – 4x)
(iii) (2m – l)(2l – m)
(iv) (k + 3m)(3m – k)
Answer:
i) (a – b) (2a + 4b) = a(2a + 4b) – b(2a + 4b)
= (a × 2a + a × 4b) – (b × 2a + b × 4b)
= 2a2 + 4ab – (2ab + 4b2)
= 2a2 + 4ab – 2ab – 4b2
= 2a2 + 2ab – 4b2

ii) (3x + 2y) (3y – 4x) = 3x(3y – 4x) + 2y(3y – 4x)
= 9xy – 12x2 + 6y2 – 8xy
= xy – 12x2 + 6y2

iii) (2m – l) (2l – m) = 2m(2l – m) – l(2l – m)
= 2m × 2l – 2m × m – l × 2l + l × m
= 4lm – 2m2 – 2l2 + lm
= 5lm – 2m2 – 2l2

iv) (k + 3m) (3m – k) = k(3m – k) + 3m(3m – k)

Question 13.
Verify the following are identities by taking a, b, c as positive integers.    [Pg. No. 260]
(i) (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
(ii) (a + b) (a – b) = a2 – b2
(iii) (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
Answer:
i) (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
a = 3, b = 1
⇒ (3 – 1)2 = (3)2 – 2 × 3 × 1 + 12
⇒ (2)2 = 9 – 6 + 1
⇒ 4 = 4
∴ (i) is an identity,

ii) (a + b) (a – b) = a2 – b2
a = 2, b = 1
⇒ (2 + 1) (2 – 1) = (2)2 – (1)2
⇒ 3 × 1 = 4 – 1
⇒ 3 = 3
∴ (ii) is an identity.

iii) (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
a = 1, b = 2, c = 0
⇒ (1 + 2 + 0)2 = 12 + 22 + 02 + 2 × 1 × 2 + 2 × 2 × 0 + 2 × 0 × 1
⇒ (3)2 = 1 + 4 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 0
⇒ 9 = 1 + 4 + 4
⇒ 9 = 9
∴ (iii) is an identity.

Question 14.
Now take x = 2, a = 1 and b = 3, verify the identity (x + a) (x + b) s x + (a + b)x + ab.        [Pg. No. 260]
i) What do you observe? Is LHS = RHS?
ii) Take different values for x, a and b for verification of the above identity.
iii) Is it always LHS = RHS for all values of a and b?
Answer:
i) (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b)x + ab
x = 2, a = 1, b = 3 then
⇒ (2 + 1) (2 + 3) = 22 + (1 + 3)2 + 1 × 3
⇒ 3 × 5 = 4 + 4x2 + 3
⇒ 15 = 4 + 8 + 3 ⇒ 15 = 15
∴ LHS = RHS

ii) x = 0, a = 1, b = 2 then
⇒ (0 + 1) (0 + 2) = 02 + (1 + 2) 0 + 1 × 2
⇒ 1 × 2 = 0 + 0 + 2
⇒ 2 = 2
∴ LHS = RHS for different values of x, a, b.

iii) LHS = RHS for all the values of a, b.

(iii) What identities you observed in your results?            [Pg. No. 261]
Answer:
i) (x + p) (x + q) = x2 + (p + q)x + pq …… (1)
Substitute q instead of p in (1).
⇒ (x + q) (x + q) = x2 + (q + q)x + q × q
⇒ (x + q)2 = x2 + 2qx + q2

ii) Substitute ‘p’ instead of q in (1).
⇒ (x + p) (x + p) = x2 + (p + p)x + p × p
⇒ (x + p) = x2 + 2px + p2

iii) ∴ I observe the following identities.
(x + q)2 = x2 + 2qx + q2
(x + p)2 = x2 + 2px + p2

(vi) 7042
(vii) Verify the identity: (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2, where a = 3m and b = 5n.         [Pg. No. 261]
Answer:
i) (5m + 7n)2 is in the form of (a + b)2.
(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 [a = 5m, b = 7n]
(5m + 7n)2 = (5m)2 + 2 × 5m × 7n + (7n)2
= (5m × 5m) + 70 mn + 7n × 7n
= 25m2 + 70mn + 49n2

ii) (6kl + 7mn)2
We know that (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
∴ (6kl + 7mn)2 = (6kl)2 + 2 × 6kl × 7mn + (7mn)2
= 36 k2l2 + 84 klmn + 49 m2n2

iii) (5a2 + 6b2)2
a = 5a2, b = 6b2
(5a2 + 6b2)2 = (5a2)2 + 2 × 5a2 × 6b2 + (6b2)2
= (5a2 × 5a2) + 60a2b2 + (6b2 × 6b2)
= 25a4 + 60a2b2 + 36b4

iv) (302)2 = (300 + 2)2
a = 300, b = 2
∴ (300 + 2)2 = (300)2 + 2 × 300 × 2 + (2)2
= (300 × 300) + 1200 + (2 × 2)
= 90,000 + 1200 + 4
= 91,204

v) (807)2 = (800 + 7)2
a = 800, b = 7
∴ (800 + 7)2 = (800)2 + 2 × 800 × 7 + (7)2
= (800 × 800) + 11,200 + (7 × 7)
= 6,40,000 + 11,200 + 49
= 6,51,249

vi) (704)2 = (700 + 4)2
a = 700, b = 4
∴ (700 + 4)2 = (700)2 + 2 × 700 × 4 + 42
= (700 × 700) + 5600 +(4 × 4)
= 4,90,000 + 5600 + 16
= 4,95,616

vii) (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2 …… (1)
Substitute a = 3m, b = 5n in (1).
LHS = (3m – 5n)2 = (3m)2 – 2 × 3m × 5n + (5n)2
= 9m2 – 30mn + 25n2
RHS = (3m)2 – 2 × 3m × 5n + (5n)2
= 9m2 – 30mn + 25n2
∴ LHS = RHS

= 81m2 – 36mn + 4n2

ii) (6pq – 7rs)2
a = 6pq, b = 7rs
(6pq – 7rs)2 = (6pq)2 – 2 × 6pq × 7rs + (7rs)2

= 25x4 – 60x2y2 + 36y4

iv) (292)2 = (300 – 8)2
a = 300, b = 8
∴ (300 – 8)2 = (300)2 – 2 × 300 × 8 + (8)2 = (300 × 300) – 4800 + (8 × 8)
= 90,000 – 4800 + 64
= 90,064 – 4800
= 85,264

v) (897)2 = (900 – 3)2
= (900)2 – 2 × 900 × 3 + (3)2

Question 1.
Differentiate between:
a) Sexual Reproduction and Asexual Reproduction
b) Gametes and Zygote
c) External fertilization and Internal fertilization
d) Viviparous and Oviparous animals
Answer:
a) Sexual Reproduction and Asexual Reproduction:

Sexual ReproductionAsexual Reproduction
1. Male and female gametes are formed.1. No production of gametes.
2. Involves fusion of male and female gametes.2. No fusion of gametes.
3. Involves two organisms.3. Involves a single organism.
4. Offsprings have some characters from male parent and other from female parent. Some characters may not be present in either of the parents.4. Produces offsprings that are identical to the parent.

AP Board 8th Class Biology Solutions Chapter 4 Reproduction in Animals

b) Gametes and Zygote:

  1. Millions of male gametes (sperms) are produced by the testes. These are microscopic and single celled. Sperm has a head, a middle piece and a tail.
    Ovary produces female gaffietes called ova. It is a single cell, (haploid)
  2. The fusion of male and female garnet is called fertilization. The result of fertilization is the formation of a zygote. Zygote is a diploid cell. This develops mitorically and forms into an embryo, which further develops into a baby.

c) External fertilization and Internal fertilization:
The process of fertilization that occurs outside of an organism is called External fertilization.
E.g. Frog, Fish, Star fish, etc.
The process of fertilization that takes place inside the body of females is called Internal fertilization. E.g. Animals, Human beings.

d) Viviparous and Oviparous animals:
Animals which give birth to their offsprings are called Viviparous animals.
E.g. Animals, human beings.
Animals which lay eggs are called Oviparous animals.
E.g. Hen, duck, pigeon, etc.

Question 2.

Answer:
Comparison:
Asexual Reproduction takes place in Hydra and Amoeba.

HydraAmoeba
1. Multicellular organism.1. Unicellular organism.
2. Nucleus is absent.2. Nucleus is present.
3. Buds are formed on the body surface.3. A constriction is formed in the middle of the nucleus.
4. The bud increases in size and develops tentacles.4. The constriction deepens divides the nucleus into two nuclei.
5. It grows in size.5. A constriction is formed on the body wall of Amoeba in the middle.
6. This bud separates from the parent Hydra and lives independently.6. The constriction deepens and divides the body of amoeba into two individuals (daughter amoebae).

AP Board 8th Class Biology Solutions Chapter 4 Reproduction in Animals

Question 3.
Why do fish and frog lay more number of eggs whereas cow and human beings usually give birth to only one at a time?
Answer:

  1. Fish and frog lay many eggs to increase chance of survival of the offspring and the continuation or their generation.
  2. They do not take care of their young ones making them prone to predators and may even be washed away by the water force.
  3. Thus the more eggs produced, the greater the chances that some will grow to maturation.
  4. Female frog and fish release their eggs in the water and male animals release their sperms in the water. As fertilization takes place in the water it is external ferlitization. There is no safety for the fertilized eggs in the water so these animals lay more number of eggs.
  5. Whereas cow and human beings usually give birth to only one at a time and the internal fertilization takes place in these animals. There is safety for the embryo (the offspring) in the mother’s womb until it’s birth.

Question 4.
Can animals produce offsprings even without formation of zygotes, how? Explain with suitables example.
Answer:

  1. Besides Asexual and Sexual Reprodution, there is other mode of reproduction called cloning.
  2. Cloning is the production of an exact copy of a cell, any other living part, or a complete organism.
  3. Cloning of an animal was successfully performed for the first time by Ian Wilmut and his colleagues at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland.
  4. They successfully cloned a sheep named Dolly. Dolly was born on 5th July 1996 and was the first mammal to be cloned.
    AP Board 8th Class Biology Solutions Chapter 4 Reproduction in Animals 1
  5. During the process of cloning dolly, a cell was collected from the mammary gland of a female Finn Dorset Sheep.
  6. Simultaneously, an egg was obtained from Scottish black face ewe.
  7. The nucleus was removed from the egg. Then the nucleus of the mammary gland cell from the Finn Dorset sheep was inserted into the egg of the Scottish black face ewe whose nucleus had been removed.
  8. Thus the egg produced was implanted into the Scottish black face ewe. Development of this egg followed normally and finally Dolly was born.
  9. Though Dolly was given birth by the Scottish black face ewe, it was found to be absolutely identified to the Finn Dorset sheep, from which the nucleus was taken.

Question 5.
How can you identify the animal is viviparous or oviparous?
Answer:

  1. Animals giving birth to young ones have epidermal hair on their skin and external ears. These animals are called viviparous animals.
    E.g. Animals, human beings, etc.
  2. The animals that lay eggs do not have epidermal hair or external ears. These animals are called oviparous animals.
    E.g. Hen, Duck, Pigeon, Parrot, etc.

Question 6.
Who am I?
a) I am formed by the fusion of male and female gametes.
Answer:
Zygote: Zygote is formed by the fusion of male and female gametes. This process is
called fertilization.

b) I am a gamete that has a tail and travel to fuse with female gametes.
Answer:
Male garnets or sperm or spermatozoa:
The structure of sperm has a head, a middle piece and a tail.

c) I am a fully developed embryo inside a mother’s body.
Answer:
Offspring or baby:
The zygote divides repeatedly to give rise a ball of cells. The cells then begin to form groups that develop into tissues and organs in the body. This developing structure is termed as an Embryo.
The embryo gets embedded in the wall of the uterus for further development. It develops in the uterus. It gradually develops body parts such as hands, legs, head, eyes, ears etc. From 3 months (12 weeks) of pregnancy the embryo is called FOETUS – After the completion of this period (about 270 – 280 days) a baby (offspring) is born. This is called gestation period.

Question 7.
State the reason why most of the terrestrial animals’, fertilization takes place internally.
Answer:

  1. In animals like insects, reptiles, birds and mammals, the male animals deposit the sperms inside the body of the female animals, where fertilization occurs. This is called Internal Fertilization. This is most common in terrestrial animals.
  2. In majority of the animals, sexes are separate and male and female animals are distinct. This is called sexual dimorphism and animals are said to be unisexual.
  3. The external features by which the males and females can be distinguished are called Secondary sexual characters.
  4. There are some animals in which male and female sex organs are present in the same animal. This is called Hermaphroditism and such animals are called Hermaphrodites or Bisexual.
  5. Hermaphroditism is seen in some of the members of protozoa, Coelenterata, Platy- helminthes, Nematoda, Annelida and mollusca. In these animals sperm and ova are formed in the same animal. However self fertilization is prevented by several methods.

Question 8.
Observe the following figures and write the functions of them.
AP Board 8th Class Biology Solutions Chapter 4 Reproduction in Animals 3
Answer:
a) Testes:
Testes are the male reproductive organs and produce male gametes known as sperms or spermatozoa. Testes are egg shaped. It is connected with a pair of seminal ducts through which sperms travel and ejaculate out with the help of penis.
AP Board 8th Class Biology Solutions Chapter 4 Reproduction in Animals 4
b) Female Reproductive system. Oviduct or fallopian tube connected with ovary. Female reproductive system contains a pair ovaries, oviducts and also called fallopian tubes and uterus.
The ovary produces female gametes called ova or eggs. In human beings, a single matured egg is released into the oviduct by one of the ovaries every month.
AP Board 8th Class Biology Solutions Chapter 4 Reproduction in Animals 5
The ovum which is a single cell released from ovary and enters into a tube called Fallopian Tube. The end of the tube is like a funnel with several finger like structures and is also ciliated. The movement of cilia help the movement of ovum through the fallopian tube into uterus.
c) Sperm:
Human sperms are minute, microscopic and motile they have a oval head, a neck, a middle piece and a long tail.
Head consists of a large haploid nucleus. Acrosome is present in the head, which helps in fertilization.
AP Board 8th Class Biology Solutions Chapter 4 Reproduction in Animals 6
The neck is short middle piece has several mitochondria which produce energy required for the movements of sperms. Tail piece helps in the swimming of sperm to reach the ovum during fertilization.
d) Fusion of ovum and sperm:
(Fertilization) Fertilization is of internal type. Sperm reaches the ovum in the fallopian tube. Sperm nucleus enters the ovum which is haploid.
When sperm enters the ovum the membranes of ovum becomes thicken. So that another sperm can not penetrate the ovum. This prevents double fertilization of the ovum. During fertilization, the sperm and the ovum fuse to form a zygote.
AP Board 8th Class Biology Solutions Chapter 4 Reproduction in Animals 7
This type of internal fertilization occurs in different organisms like insects, snakes, lizards, birds and mammals etc.

b) Explain the process of metamorphosis in housefly by taking help from in the given diagram.
AP Board 8th Class Biology Solutions Chapter 4 Reproduction in Animals 8
Answer:
Metamorphosis in the house fly: A female housefly at a time lays about 120 to 160 eggs. The eggs are laid in garbage, on dung heaps, or on a decaying animal and vegetable matter. The life history consists of 1) egg 2) larva 3) pupa and 4) adult stages. Egg: The egg is white and cylindrical on one side. It has two ribbon like longitudinal thickenings. They hatch in about 24 hours into larva.
Larva: The larva is known as a Maggot. It is white in colour. The baby of the larva has 13 segments. It has a mouth and feeds on organic matter.
Pupa: The fully grown larva moves to a dry place in the dung and changes to a pupa. The pupa is dark brown and barrel shaped. In a week, the pupa changes into an adult or imago.
Houseflies spread, germs that cause diseases like typhoid, cholera, amoebic dysentery, tuberculosis. Our food should be kept covered from houseflies. The surroundings should be clean without garbage and dung heaps. Insecticides can be used to kill the house flies.

Question 12.
Kavita found a tadpole in a pond. She collected it carefully and put it in an aquarium supposing it as a fish. After some days what did she find and why?
Answer:

  1. The larva that emerges from the eggs, known as tadpole, have oval bodies and long, vertically flattened tail and are fully aquatic.
  2. Tadpole lack eyelids and have cartilaginous skeleton. They take respiration through external gills, later it develops internal gills. It looks like a fish at this stage completely. The vertically flattened tails use for swimming.
  3. Tadpole lack true teeth, but the jaws two elongated parallel rows of small structures called keradonts in their upper jaw and three rows of keradonts in the lower jaw as same as the fish has.
  4. Tadpole are typically herbivorous, feeding mostly on algae, including diatoms, filtered the water through the gills.
  5. The tadpoles may be as short as a week during metamorphosis.

Question 13.
Collect information from your library or from other sources like internet and discuss the life cycle of Honeybees in the symposium at your school.
Answer:
In the life cycle of butterfly there are four stages.

  1. Egg
  2. Larva
  3. Pupa
  4. Adult.

The cycle of changes that takes place from egg to adult is called metamorphosis.
AP Board 8th Class Biology Solutions Chapter 4 Reproduction in Animals 10
1) Egg: The egg is the first stage in the butterfly. They are very small and round. The female butterfly lays eggs on or near the plants.
2) Larva: The larva hatches from the egg. Butterfly larva are usually called Caterpillar. Caterpillars spend most of their time eating. Butterfly do all their growing when they are caterpillars, and food gives them the energy and body building materials they need. A caterpillar’s exoskeleton can’t stretch or grow, so the caterpillar sheds its skin or molts, several times as it grows.
3) Pupa: When the caterpillar has finished growing, it forms from the outside, the pupa looks as if it’s resting. But inside, every part of the caterpillar is changing. Most of it’s organs and other body parts like head, thorax and abdomen, 3 pairs of legs, 2 pairs of wings, a pair of compound eyes, the antennae, a proboscis etc. are formed. Butterfly pupa are called chrysalises.
4) Adult: When the pupa has finished changing, it molts one last time and emerges as an adult butterfly. The adult emerges with its wings folded up against its body. The adult is the stage when butterfly mate the reproduce. Females lay their eggs on plants or other surfaces and the cycle starts all over again.

AP Board 8th Class Biology Solutions Chapter 4 Reproduction in Animals 23
You can ask your teacher and know why sometimes no characters match with your father or mother.
Answer:

  1. The ability of an organism to produce a new generation of individuals of the same species is called reproduction.
  2. That means the characteristics of parental organisms are being transferred to their next generation in the process of reproduction.
  3. It involves the transmission of genetic material (chromosomes) from the parental generation to the next generation.
  4. In some methods of reproduction the genetic material of the parent and the offspring next generation will be exactly same.
  5. Whereas in some methods the characters from two parents (male and female) recombine to form a new individual.
  6. In this process some characters of one parent and remaining characters from the other parent are seen in the offsprings. Some characters will be new which are not seen in either of the parents.
  7. This happens because of chromosome recombination. The process of reproduction ensures continuation of race and the perpetuation of characteristics of the species and particularly the parental organisms.

అనగనగా ఒక ఊళ్లో ఒక మామ్మ, మనవడు ఉన్నారు. మనవడికి తల్లిదండ్రులిద్దరూ చనిపోయేరు. అందుచేత మామ్మకి మనవడంటే గారం. ఆ గారాబం వలన పాఠశాలకు వెళ్లేవాడు కాదు, చదువు రాలేదు. మామ్మగారు అతనిని రోజూ తిట్టేది. ఎక్కడికైనా వెళ్లి డబ్బు సంపాదించాలంటే చదువు ఉండాలని. కానీ, వినేవాడు కాదు. కనీసం బైటకి కూడా వెళ్లేవాడు కాదు. ఇంట్లోనే ఉండేవాడు. అలాగే పెద్దవాడైపోయాడు. 20 సంవత్సరాలు వచ్చేయి. అయినా. ఇల్లు వదిలేవాడు కాదు. అతని పేరు చెప్పలేదు కదూ ! అతని పేరు రాము.

“రామూ ! ఈ రోజు నువ్వు బైటకి వెళ్లి, డబ్బు సంపాదించుకురా ! వెళ్లు !” అంది మామ్మ.
“రేపు వెడతాను” అన్నాడు బద్దకంగా.
“రోజూ ఇలాగే అంటున్నావు. ఒక్క పదిరూపాయలు సంపాదించుకొనిరా ! డబ్బు విలువ తెలుస్తుంది.” అంది మామ్మ.
“పది రూపాయిలు కాదు మామ్మా ! పది. లక్షల కోట్లు సంపాదిస్తాను” అన్నాడు.
“అబ్బో ! కబుర్లకు లోటు లేదు. ఇలాగే కూర్చో ! నీకెవ్వరూ పిల్లనివ్వరు. పెళ్లి కాదు” అంది.
“కోటీశ్వరురాలు చేసుకొంటుందే మామ్మా” అన్నాడు.
“అలాగే కోతి కూడా చేసుకోదు” అంది.
“సరే ! రేపే వెడతాను. కోట్లు సంపాదించుకొని వస్తాను. కాని, నాకు మూడు మినపరొట్టెలు వేసి ఇయ్యి !” అన్నాడు.

మర్నాడు మూడు మినపరొట్టెలు, కొబ్బరి పచ్చడి, తేనె పానకం ఇచ్చింది. మనవడు ఆ రొట్టెలు పట్టుకొని బయల్దేరాడు. చాలా దూరం వెళ్లిపోయేడు. చీకటి పడే సమయానికి ఒక పెద్ద మర్రిచెట్టు దగ్గరికి చేరాడు.

“బాగా ఆకలి వేస్తోంది. పెద్దదాన్ని తినేయాలి. తేనెపానకం వేసుకొని తింటే భలే రుచిగా ఉంటుంది” అన్నాడు.

ఆ చెట్టు మీద మూడు దెయ్యాలున్నాయి. వాటికి భయపడి ఎవ్వరూ అటురారు. వీడు ధైర్యంగా వచ్చాడంటే వాడికి ఏవో మంత్రాలు వచ్చేమో ! అని దెయ్యాలు భయపడ్డాయి. పెద్ద దెయ్యం భయంతో కిందికి వచ్చింది.

“ఒక్క క్షణం ఆగమని ఒక గిన్నె, గరిటె ఇచ్చింది.” గిన్నెలో గరిటె పెట్టి ‘వడ్డించు’ అంటే, నీకు కావలసిన ఆహార పదార్థాలు వస్తాయి. కడుపునిండా తిను ! నన్ను వదిలేయి !” అంది. తృప్తిగా తిన్నాడు. ఊళ్లోకి వెళ్లి ఒక కిరాణా వ్యాపారికి ఇచ్చి, జాగ్రత్త చేయమని, మళ్లీ చెట్టు కిందకు వచ్చాడు. కిరాణా వ్యాపారికి దాని రహస్యం కూడా చెప్పాడు. తన ఇంట్లో వారంతా తృప్తిగా తిన్నాక, ఊరందరినీ పిలిచి ఆ వ్యాపారి భోజనాలు పెట్టాడు.

అర్ధరాత్రి రాముకు మళ్లీ ఆకలి వేసింది. రెండోదాన్ని తినేస్తానన్నాడు. రెండో దెయ్యం భయపడింది. కిందకు వచ్చి బ్రతిమాలింది. ఒక సంచీ ఇచ్చింది. ఆ సంచీ దులిపితే బంగారు కాసులు పడ్డాయి. దేనిలో దులిపితే దాని నిండా పడతాయని చెప్పింది. రాము మళ్లీ ఊళ్లోకి వెళ్లి వ్యాపారికి ఇచ్చి, దీనిని ‘దులపకండి’ అన్నాడు. ‘అలాగే’ అన్నాడు. రాము వెళ్లిపోయాక ఒక గిన్నెలో దులిపాడు, గిన్నె నిండా బంగారుకాసులు పడ్డాయి. ఒక పెద్ద సంచీలో దులిపాడు. సంచి నిండా బంగారుకాసులు పడ్డాయి. . – ఊరందరికీ భోజనాలు పెట్టి, అందరికీ తలొక గుప్పెడు బంగారుకాసులిచ్చాడు. ఆ నోటా ఈ నోటా తెలిసి … కొన్ని వేలమంది జనం వచ్చేశారు. అందరికీ ఇస్తున్నాడు.

మర్నాడు ఉదయమే “చంటి దాన్ని తినేస్తాను” అన్నాడు రాము. చిన్న దెయ్యం భయపడి వచ్చింది. ఒక కర్ర – ఇచ్చింది. “వడ్డించు అంటే ఎంతమందినైనా కొడుతుంది. నువ్వు ఆగమంటేనే ఆగుతుంది” అంది. మళ్లీ పట్టుకెళ్లి వ్యాపారికి ఇచ్చాడు. “వడ్డించు అనకండి” అన్నాడు. నవ్వుతూ. “అలాగే బాబూ” అన్నాడు.

ఆ కంబళి వలన తనకు అడుక్కుతినడానికి కూడా లేకపోయిందని బాధపడ్డాడు. ఊరి బయట పాడుబడిన దేవాలయం దగ్గర దొంగలు కూడా తన గురించే మాట్లాడుకోవడం గమనించాడు. ఆ రాత్రంతా ఆలోచించాడు. ఆ కంబళి కోసం హేమాహేమీలు పోటీ పడుతున్నారని గ్రహించాడు. ఆ కంబళి తనకెందుకూ పనికిరాదని నిర్ధారించుకున్నాడు. అది తనకు వద్దనుకున్నాడు. రాజు గారికి ఇచ్చేయాలని నిర్ణయించుకున్నాడు. ఇచ్చేశాడు.

నీతిపద్యం

తే॥గీ॥ | సర్వ తీర్థాభిగమనంబు సర్వవేద
సమధిగమము సత్యంబుతో సరియుగావు
ఎఱగు మెల్ల ధర్మంబుల కెందు పెద్ద
యండ్రు సత్యంబు ధర్మజ్ఞులైన మునులు.

భావం :
పుణ్య నదులలో స్నానం చేయడం, సమస్త వేదాలు అధ్యయనం చేయడం ఒక్క సత్యానికి సాటిరావు. అన్ని ధర్మాల కంటే నిజం పలకడమే గొప్ప ధర్మం అని మునులు చెపుతారు. నన్నయ ఈ చిన్న పద్యంలో సత్యాన్ని దాని ప్రాధాన్యతను గురించి ఎంతో చక్కగా చెప్పాడు.

అశ్వమేధం వంటి యాగాలు చేయడం రాజులకే సాధ్యం. పుణ్యక్షేత్రాలు దర్శించడానికి ధనం ఉండాలి. నిజం చెప్పడానికి మాత్రం ఏమీ ఖర్చు లేదు. అయితే దాని ఫలితం ఎంతో విలువైనది. ఒక్క సత్యవాక్కు ఎంతటి పుణ్యాన్ని కలిగిస్తుందో, ఒక అబద్దం అంతకంటే ఎక్కువ పాపాన్ని, నష్టాన్ని కలిగిస్తుందని గ్రహించాలి.

మీకు తెలుసా?

శతవిధాల :
శతవిధాలుగా అంటే వంద విధాలుగా చెప్పడం. ఏదైనా ఒక విషయాన్ని అనేక రకాలుగా తెలియజేస్తున్నారని తెలిపే పదబంధం.

స్వానుభవం :
తనకు తాను ఏదైనా చేయడం ద్వారా అలవడే నేర్పు.

Question 24.
In a cricket team there are 11 players. The selection board purchased 10x + y T-shirts to players. They again purchased ‘10y + x’ T-shirts and total T-shirts were distributed to players equally. How many T-shirts will be left over after they distributed equally to 11 players ? How many each one will get?     (Pg. No : 328)
Answer:
No.of players in the team = 11
No.of T- shirts are purchased at first = 10x + y
No. of T – shirts are purchased for the 2nd time = 10y + x
Sum of the T – shirts = (10x + y) + (10y + x)
= 11x + 11y = ll(x + y)
∴ 11(x + y) T – shirts are distributed among 11 players then each will get ll(x + y)
\(\frac{11(x + y)}{11}\) = x + y
Remaining T – shirts = Purchased T – shirts – 11 (No.of T-shirts got by each)
= 11(x + y) – 11(x + y)
= 0

Question 25.
In a basket there are ‘10a + b’ fruits (a ≠ 0 and a > b). Among them ‘10b + a’ fruits are rotten. The remaining fruits distributed to 9 persons equally. How many fruits are left over after equal distribution? How many fruits would each child get?      (Pg. No: 328)
Answer:
No. of fruits in a basket = 10a + b
No. of fruits are rotten = 10b + a
Remaining fruits to be distributed = (10a + b) – (10b + a)
= 10a + b – 10b – a
= 9a – 9b = 9(a – b)
∴ 9(a – b) fruits are distributed among ‘9’ Children
then each will get = 9(a – b) ÷ 9 = \(\frac{9(a – b)}{9}\) = (a – b)
No. of fruits left over after distribution
= Total no. of fruits distributed – No.of fruits got by each
= 9(a – b) – 9(a – b) = 0

Answer:
If 21358AB is divisible by 99, then it is divisible by 9 and 11.
If 21358AB is divisible by 9 then the sum of the digits is divisible by 9.
2 + 1 + 3 + 5 + 8 + A + B = 9 × 3 say
⇒ 19 + A + B = 27
⇒ A + B = 27-19 = 8
A + B = 8 …… (1)
If 21358AB is divisible by ‘ll’ then the difference of sum of even and odd digits will be divisible by’ll’.
2 1 3 5 8 A B
∴ (2 + 3 + 8 + B) – (1 + 5 + A) = 11 × 1 say
⇒ 13 + B – 6 – A = 11
⇒ B – A = 11 – 7 = 4 ……. (2)
From (1) & (2) A = 2, B = 6
∴ The required number is 21358AB = 2135826 which is divisible by 99.

4AB8 → \(\frac{8}{2}\) (R = 0) so, it is divisible by ‘2’.
4AB8 → If it is divisible by ‘3’, sum of all the digits should be a multiple of ‘3’. .
∴ 4 + A + B + 8 = 3 or 6 or 9 or 12 or 15 …….
AP Board 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 15 Playing with Numbers InText Questions 11
4AB8 → If it is divisible by 9, sum of all the digits should be a multiple of ‘9’.
∴ 4 + A + B + 8 = 9 or 18 or 27 or 36
⇒ A + B + 12 = 9 ∣18∣ 27∣ 36 ……. (3)
From (1) & (3)
A + B + 12 = 9 or 18 say
If A + B + 12 = 9
A + B = 9 – 12 = -3
It is impossible
If A + B + 12 = 18
A + B = 18 – 12 = 6
∴ A + B = 6
If A = 4 & B = 2
4AB8 = 4428
4AB8 → 4428 → \(\frac{428}{8}\) (R ≠ 0)
∴ A = 4 & B = 2 are not possible.
If A = 2& B = 4
4AB8 → 4248 → \(\frac{248}{8}\) (R = 0)
∴ A = 2 and B = 4

Question 1.
State reasons why wheat is cultivated in Kharif.
Answer:

  1. The crops grown in the rainy season are termed as Kharif in the months of June to October.
  2. If we cultivate wheat crop in the month of July it takes 8 – 10 weeks for growing.
  3. After that flowering will take place. By that time, it would be October.
  4. Then the night duration extends more than 12\(\frac{1}{2}\) hours. Wheat plants flowering takes place only in long night durations.
  5. Crop production is based on the flowering of plant. If flowering of plant is more, the crop production also is more.
  6. Wheat is important cereal crop gained a lot through Green Revolution by developing high yielding hybrid strains.

Question 2.
Ramaiah’s field is flattened. Somaiah’s field has many up and downs. Who will get more crop ?
Answer:

  1. Generally the fields have a lot of ups and downs even after ploughing. So a leveller is used for levelling the soil.
  2. By levelling the soil, it becomes flattened, water and nutrients can be reached to every part of the land. It also helps in sowing seeds and planting.
  3. Because Ramaiah’s field is flattened, he will get more produce than Somaiah.

Question 3.
What are the advantages of ploughing?
Answer:
Before growing crops ploughing the soil properly is necessary.
Advantages:

  1. Ploughing loosens the soil and it helps in easier transportation of air and water.
  2. Water is stored deeply for a long time as the soil is soft.
  3. Roots penetrate in the deep and can respire well as the air enters easily into the soil.
  4. Friendly microorganisms and earthworms can grow well when the soil is soft.
  5. Some foe microorganisms die due to the sun rays.

Question 4.
Treating with fungicides before sowing the seed is necessary. Why?
Answer:

  1. Sometimes farmers wash seeds with chemicals to protect from pests.
  2. Medication is done to keep away the seeds from the harmful microorganisms like bacteria, fungi etc.
  3. So, generally farmers treat the seeds with fungicides before sowing the seeds before making them to germinate.

AP Board 8th Class Biology Solutions Chapter 8 Production and Management of Food From Plants

Question 5.
Why do farmers dry the paddy crop after cutting them from fields?
Answer:

  1. Naturally food produce can be damaged by fungi, pests, rats and bacteria.
  2. If moisture is also there in the grains, it helps to develop moulds (fungi).
  3. Such grains neither germinates nor suitable to eat.
  4. To overcome this problem farmers dry the grains for 2-3 days in sun.
  5. After drying they keep the grains in jute bags and preserve them in godowns.

Question 6.
Give some examples of plants that grow after replanting.
Answer:
Seeds that are broadcast in a plot, grow into seedlings. When these plants grow to certain height, farmers pick out the plants (seedlings) from the plots, make bundles and are sown in proper distances. This is called transplantation (replanted)
E.g.: Rice (Sri Vari), Tobacco, Onions, Chillies etc.

Question 7.
Rahim removed weeds in his crop field, but David did not. Guess who get more yield. Why?
Answer:

  1. Rahim get more yield than David. Because
  2. Weeds are the unwanted or undesirable plants which grow in the fields and compete with crop plants for water, nutrients, light and space.
  3. Because of these plants the crop plants may not grow properly. So they should be removed.
  4. Otherwise the yield of the crop will be reduced.
  5. Weeds give shelter for insects, pests and microorganisms and serve as a host for them.
  6. Weeds are capable of germinating and growing fastern than crop plants. They flower and form seeds much earlier than the crop plants.
  7. Some weeds disperse pollen grain to air which in turn causes respiratory diseases.

Question 8.
What is natural manure? How to prepare it? Give two examples.
Answer:
Natural manure: A manure made by the decomposition of plants and animal (organic) wastes is called natural manure or natural fertilizer or Bio Fertilizer.
Preparation:

  1. These fertilizers are formed by decomposing plant and animal wastes.
  2. In rural areas farmers keep these plant and animal wastes outside the village in open space.
  3. Some bacteria like Azatobacter, Nitrobacter decompose and it becomes manure which contain nutrients.
  4. Wherever the manure is added to the soil, there it provides nutrients to the plants. Examples : Vermi compost, Dung fertilizer.

Question 10.
Rajendar cultivated cotton crop in his field. He did not get sufficient yield. Can you guess the reasons? (OR)
A farmer cultivated cotton crop in his field. He did not get sufficient yield. Guess any four causes for it.
Answer:

  1. Farmers in our state generally purchase seeds in the nearby market. The grains that are available in the packets play vital role in agriculture.
  2. Sometimes the rate of germination of the seeds is not up to the mark, which was labelled on the packet.
  3. Sometimes never germinate too.
  4. At times, seeds grow into plants but they be sterile.
  5. And sometimes the crop may be attacked by the larva of spotted brown boll-worm and pinkish boll-worms.
  6. The larva of brown catter pillar sucks the juice from the leaves. The buds and the fruits of cotton plants drop off from the infected plants.
  7. The larva of pinkish boll worm of cotton make hole in the stem, flower buds, flowers and fruits. As a result flower buds, cotton bolls drop off.
  8. May be these reasons Rajendar did not get sufficient yield.

Question 11.
I am a plant. I grow in crop fields. Farmers pluck me. I do not know the reason. Can you tell who am I ?
Answer:

  1. We observe some other plants growing along with the crop plants These are undesirable plants called weeds. They should be removed immediately.
  2. The weeds, compete with the crop plants for nutrients, water and light, so he crop plants may not grow properly. This is the reason why they (weeds) should be removed.
  3. Besides competition for food, light and water they also work as a carrier for different diseases. They also serve as host for different pests.
  4. Some weeds disperse pollen grains to air which in turn causes respiratory diseases.
  5. So the farmers pluck the weeds from crop plants by using different methods.

The floated seeds are light in weight but the sank seeds are more in weight.

b) Do you know why the floated seeds are lighter in weight?
Answer:
The floated seeds are not healthy, so they are lighter in weight.

c) Which seeds germinate well? Why?
Answer:
The seeds which sank in water germinate well because they are healthy.

d) Which seeds would not germinate properly? Why?
Answer:
The seeds which are wrinkled and rough would not germinate properly. Because the cotyledon inside the seed would not develop healthy.

Question 16.
Narendra sprayed over dose of pesticides on his cotton crop. Ramesh says it is a hazard to biodiversity and crop yield. Can you support Ramesh? How?
Answer:

  1. In agriculture pests damage the crops. Almost all crops are generally effected by pests.
  2. Wheat, Paddy and suagarcane are generally affected by fungal diseases. Groundnut is affected by Tikka disease. The catterpillars of spotted brown boll worm and Pinkish boll worm affect the crop.
  3. A wide variety of agricultural and garden pesticides are available. A few derived from neem tobacco and chrysanthemum (Chamanthi) are less dangerous to other living organisms.
  4. A wide variety of inorganic and organic pesticides are commonly used D.D.T. (Dichloro diphenoxy Trichloro ethane) BHC (Benzene Hexa Chloride), Chlordane, Endrin, Aldrin, Endosulfan and Diazinon pesticides are usually dusted or sprayed on crops or put in the soil.
  5. But pesticides should not use unwisely. They get into the bodies of plants and animals in the soil and water. When these plants are eaten by animals like fish the pesticide get into their bodies.
  6. A bird that eat the fish might get a concentrated lethal dose.
  7. D.D.T. also accumulate in the egg shells, weakening them and making the shells break before hatching. It is observed D.D.T. is present in the milk of buffaloes and cows.
  8. In this way pesticides are passed down the food chain and accumulate in the bodies of higher animals including human beings causing sickness and sometimes death.

ii) All whole numbers are integers but all integers are not whole numbers.
iii) All integers are rational numbers but all rational numbers need not be integers.
Answer:
i) ‘0’ is not a natural number.
∴ Every whole number is not a natural number. (∵ N ⊂ W)
ii) -2, -3, -4 are not whole numbers.
∴ All integers are not whole numbers. (∵ W ⊂ Z)
iii) \(\frac{2}{3}\), \(\frac{7}{4}\) are not integers.

9, 12, 15, 18, 21, ……
In the list obtained the first term
a1 = 9; a2 = 12, a3 = 15, a4 = 18,
Also a2 – a1 = 12 – 9 = 3
a3 – a2 = 15 – 12 = 3
a4 – a3 = 18 – 15 = 3
……………………………………
i.e.,
d = a2 – a1 = a3 – a2 = a4 – a3 = …. = 3
∴ The resulting list forms an A.P.

Question 4.
Similarly subtract’a fixed number from each and every term of A.P. Write the resulting numbers as a list.
Answer:
4, 7, 10, 13, 16, ……
Subtracting ‘2’ from the each term of A.P in given series, we get
4 – 2, 7 – 2, 10- 2, 13 – 2, 16 – 2, ……
2, 5, 8, 11, 14, ……
In the list obtained, the first term
a1 = 2 , a2 = 5, a3 = 8, a4 = 11,
Also a2 – a1 = 5 – 2 = 3
a3 – a2 = 8 – 5 = 3
a4 – a3 = 11 – 8 = 3
……………………………………
i.e., d = a2 – a1 = a3 – a2 = a4 – a3 = 3
∴ The resulting list forms an A.P.

Question 5.
Multiply and divide each term of A.P by a fixed number and write the resulting numbers as a list.
Answer:
4, 7, 10, 13, 16, ……
Multiplying each term by 3, we get
4 × 3, 7 × 3, 10 × 3, 13 × 3, 16 × 3, ……
12, 21, 30, 39, 48, …….
In the list obtained the first term a1 = 12 and a2 = 21, a3 = 30, ….
Also a2 – a1 = a3 – a2 = …… = 9
∴ The resulting list also forms an A.P.
Now divide every term by 7, we get
\(\frac{4}{7}\), \(\frac{7}{7}\), \(\frac{10}{7}\), \(\frac{13}{7}\), \(\frac{16}{7}\), …… is the resulting list.

Question 6.
Check whether the resulting lists are AP in each case.
Answer:
The first term
∴ d = a2 – a1 = a3 – a2 = a4 – a3 = ….. = \(\frac{3}{7}\)
and the above list forms an A.P.

What value(s) of x will make DE || AB, in the given figure?  (Page No. 200)
AD = 8x + 9, CD = x + 3,
BE = 3x + 4, CE = x.
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Similar Triangles InText Questions 1
Answer:
Given : In AABC, DE // AB AD = 8x + 9, CD = x + 3,
BE = 3x + 4, CE = x
By Basic proportionality theorem,
If DE // AB then we should have
\(\frac{\mathrm{CD}}{\mathrm{DA}}\) = \(\frac{\mathrm{CE}}{\mathrm{EB}}\)
\(\frac{x+3}{8x+9}\) = \(\frac{x}{3x+4}\)
⇒ (x + 3) (3x + 4) = x (8x + 9)
⇒ x (3x + 4) + 3 (3x + 4) – 8x2 + 9x
⇒ 3x2 + 4x + 9x + 12 = 8x2 + 9x
⇒ 8x2 + 9x – 3x2 – 4x – 9x -12 = 0
⇒ 5x2 – 4x – 12 = 0
⇒ 5x2 – 10x + 6x – 12 = 0
⇒ 5x (x – 2) + 6 (x – 2) = 0
⇒ (5x + 6) (x – 2) = 0
⇒ 5x + 6 = 0 or x – 2 = 0
⇒ x = \(\frac{-6}{5}\) or x = 2;
x cannot be negative.
∴ The value x = 2 will make DE // AB.

AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Similar Triangles InText Questions 2
Answer:
Given: In △ABC, DE // BC
∴ By Basic proportionality theorem, we have
\(\frac{\mathrm{AD}}{\mathrm{DB}}\) = \(\frac{\mathrm{AE}}{\mathrm{EC}}\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{x}-2}\) = \(\frac{x+2}{x-1}\)
⇒ x (x – 1) = (x + 2) (x – 2)
⇒ x2 – x = x2 – 4
⇒ -x = -4
∴ x = 4

Question 1.
E and F are points on the sides PQ and PR respectively of △PQR. For each of the following, state whether EF || QR or not?      (Page No. 197)
i) PE = 3.9 cm, EQ = 3 cm,
PF = 3.6 cm and FR = 2.4 cm.
Answer:
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Similar Triangles InText Questions 3
Here
\(\frac{\mathrm{PE}}{\mathrm{EQ}}\) = \(\frac{3.9}{3}\) = \(\frac{1.3}{1}\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{PF}}{\mathrm{FR}}\) = \(\frac{3.6}{2.4}\) = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{PE}}{\mathrm{EQ}}\) ≠ \(\frac{\mathrm{PF}}{\mathrm{FR}}\)
Hence, EF is not parallel to QR.

AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Similar Triangles InText Questions

ii) PE = 4 cm, QE = 4.5 cm,
Answer:
Here
\(\frac{\mathrm{PE}}{\mathrm{EQ}}\) = \(\frac{4}{4.5}\) = \(\frac{8}{9}\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{PF}}{\mathrm{RF}}\) = \(\frac{8}{9}\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{PE}}{\mathrm{EQ}}\) = \(\frac{\mathrm{PF}}{\mathrm{RF}}\)
∴ EF // QR
Hence, EF is parallel to QR.

iii) PQ = 1.28 cm, PR = 2.56 cm, PE = 1.8 cm and PF = 3.6 cm.
Answer:
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Similar Triangles InText Questions 4
Given: PQ = 1.28 cm, PE = 1.8 cm
⇒ EQ = PE – PQ = 1.8 – 1.28
⇒ EQ = 0.52 cm
Also, PR = 2.56 cm, PE = 3.6 cm, FR = PF – PR = 3.6 cm – 2.56 cm
FR = 1.04 cm
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Similar Triangles InText Questions 5

Question 1.
For a right angled triangle with integer sides atleast one of its measurements must be an even number. Why? Discuss this with your friends and teachers.    (Page No. 215)
Answer:
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Similar Triangles InText Questions 39
Let l, m, n are integer sides of a right
angled triangle.
then l2 – m2 + n2
⇒ n = l2 – m2 = (l + m) (l – m)
Now
Case I: Both l, m are even the (l + m) is even then (l + m) (l – m) is also even. So ‘n’ is even. Here all are even.
Case II: Both l, m are odd then (l + m) and (l – m) become even. Then the product of even numbers is even so ‘n’ is even.
Here only ‘n’ is even.
Case III: If we consider l is even, m is’ odd then ‘n’ will be odd. So here T is even. We observe in all above three cases at least one of l, m, n is even; Hence proved.
