Establishment: Acharya J. C. Bose founded the Institute in 1917 to investigate fully “the many and ever-opening problems of nascent science which includes both life and non-life sciences”. Acharya Bose’s early career included many marvelously inventive and pioneering experiments on electromagnetism which, in J. J. Thomson’s words, marked “the dawn of the revival in India of interest in researches in the Physical Sciences”, and on the commonality of the response of plants and inorganic materials to electric and mechanical stimuli. Those early successes lay behind the stated purpose. Bose’s successors remained true to that purpose.

The Institute actively participated in the pioneering discovery of Cholera Toxin and its role in the pathogenesis of Cholera by Prof. S. N. De. This led to a breakthrough in the understanding of the molecular mechanism of toxin-receptor interaction in microbial pathogenesis.

Prof. B. B. Biswas and his group demonstrated a multiplicity of RNAP from higher plant sources. It is, therefore, not surprising to find Bose Institute’s research activities today spanning a wide compass, a feature that makes it unique amongst all research institutes in India.

The Institute’s 600 staff and students mostly work out of two campuses in the city of Kolkata, which house its various academic departments and sections, together with a Library and other service units.

The J.C. Bose Museum is a special attraction on the Main Campus. It contains a fine collection of manuscripts, instruments, etc. that record Bose’s life and work; these are on permanent display. In addition, there are four special-purpose Field Stations.

Recent Research: In recent years the impact of scientific research has been assessed on objective criteria, e.g. Citation Index, Impact factors, and Peer Review.

When the research activities in India were independently assessed by the National Information System for Sciences And Technology (NISSAT) of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, the research work from Bose Institute was rated High impact in Biology and Biomedical research areas.

Question 2. Discuss the contributions of Charles Wilkins in the field of the printing press in Bengal.
Answer:

Charles Wilkins:

1. Introduction: Charles Wilkins is perhaps one of the most significant figures in the history of printing in Bengal at his time. He was a writer employed by the East India Company. In 1770 he sailed to India where he quickly distinguished himself by showing extraordinary proficiency in Persian, Sanskrit, and Bengali

2. ‘A Grammar of the Bengali Language’: In 1778 Governor General Warren Hastings asked him to prepare the earliest known set of Bengali types for N. B. Halhed’s A Grammar of the Bengali Language. The success of the enterprise and Hicky’s scurrilous attacks on the Company led the Company to feel that it would be better off setting up its press rather than employing a contract printer. Accordingly, Wilkins was asked to draw up a plan for a press.

3. Past at the Company’s Press: In December 1778 he was given the authority of the first superintendent of the Honourable Company’s Press. The Press began its operations in Malda, 175 miles north of Calcutta, and only shifted to Calcutta in 1781 when Wilkins was appointed the Persian and Bengali translator of the Committee of Revenue. He printed about thirteen works

4. Exemplary Work: In the preface to Halhed’s works Wilkins is applauded for having been a metallurgist, engraver, founder, and printer. He also exemplified how good printing is a collaborative exercise. The well-known gem-and-seal engraver Joseph Shepherd as well as the Bengali blacksmith Panchanan Karmakar were employed to help him with the designing and cutting of types, and the casting of fonts.

Question 3. Write a note on the National Council of Education.
Answer:

National Council of Education:

1. Introduction: The National Council of Education was one of the three universities in modern India set up by the British in Calcutta in 1861 which were instruments of spreading Western philosophical thought among the elite in India and creating in the words of Lord Macaulay, “a class of Indians who would be Indian in blood and color but western in thought and ideas.”

2. Universities Act, 1904: This initiative was furthered by the passing of the Universities Act of 1904. This resulted in the reorganization of Calcutta University’s Senate and Syndicate by the nomination of more white members into them, which in turn, would enable the government to control her policies. The government also decided to stop helping financially many private Indian colleges, which had come up lately and were regarded by the Government as hotbeds of nationalist agitation. The measures stirred the educated middle class to move for alternative systems of education

3. Criticism of Calcutta University: The nationalists in the freedom struggle of India dubbed the Calcutta University, another pillar of India’s education movement, as “Goldighir Ghulamkhana”, or the slave house of Goldighi, concerning the lake adjacent to Calcutta University, and the number of graduates it churned out who were used in British merchant offices as clerks. Hence, the need for setting up an institution that would impart education along with inspiring nationalist ideas was strongly felt by the luminaries of the period

4. Nationalist Agitation: The real impetus though was provided by the partition of Bengal by Lord Curzon, the then Governor-General of India, into East Bengal on the one hand (the area that was eventually to become Bangladesh in 1971) and West Bengal and Odisha on the other. The youth of Bengal actively participated in the Swadeshi movement, and the participation of university students drew the ire of the Raj. R.W. Carlyle prohibited the participation of students in political meetings on the threat of withdrawal of funding and grants. The decade preceding these decrees had seen Bengali intellectuals increasingly calling for Indigenous schools and colleges to replace British institutions

5. Establishment of National Council of Education: On 16 November 1905, the Landholders’ Society organized a meeting at Park Street, attended by around 1500 delegates, including Rabindranath Tagore, Aurobindo Ghosh, Raja Subodh Chandra Mullick, and Brajendra Kishore Roychowdhury. The idea of the National Council of Education was raised and developed here. In a meeting held on 9 November 1905 at the Field and Academic Club, Subodh Chandra Mullick pledged one lakh rupees for the foundation of a National University in Bengal. The objective of setting up the institution was to challenge British rule over education by offering education to the masses ‘on national lines and under national control’.

Generous sums of money were also donated by Brojendra Kishore Roy Choudhury, Maharaja Suryya Kanto Acharya Choudhury, and Rashbihari Ghosh, who was appointed the first president of the university. Aurobindo served as the first Principal of the college. The organization in its beginning period was intimately associated with the nascent revolutionary nationalism in Bengal at the time. It was during his time as Principal that Aurobindo started his nationalist publications Jugantar, Karmayogin, and Bande Mataram. The student mess at the College was frequented by students of East Bengal who belonged to the Dhaka branch of the Anushilan Samiti and was known to be the hotbed of revolutionary nationalism, which was uncontrolled or even encouraged by the college.

Question 4. Give an account of the growth of the Bengali printing press from the middle of the 19th century.
Answer:

Early Development:

Growth of the Bengali Printing Press from the Middle of the 19th Century: From 1780 to 1790, a total of 19 weekly and 6 monthly magazines were published from various printing presses in Calcutta. Gangakishore Bhattacharya was the first Bengali publisher and bookseller in Calcutta who published the book ‘Annadamangal’ of Bharatchandra. In 1800, the total number of printed books on Calcutta was 650. Gradually the number of other types of books printed and sold also increased rapidly. Barnaparichaya of Vidyasagar (1855) was published from 1869 to 1880 – a total number of 50,000. In 1885-1886 there were 1094 printing presses in India, of which 229 were in Bengal.

Contribution of Vidyasagar: The commercial initiative of the Bengali Press in the latter half of the 19th century was taken by Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar. He had tried to bring about the commercial advantages of the Press in Bengal. It must be said that he had a great influence on the Bengali publication industry of those days.

He along with his friend Madanmohan had founded the Sanskrit Press in 1847 at Patoldanga 62, Amherst Street. He became the absolute owner of the press in 1856. This press published many copies of this and his other work regularly. For instance, nearly 50,000 copies of his work Barnoparichay were sold in the year 1856.

He also opened the Sanskrit Press Depository, the first book shop in College Street. Those days he used to earn a princely sum of three to four thousand rupees every month by just selling his educational books.

For this reason, he is considered the first commercial book vendor of modern Bengal. However, later on, he transferred the exclusive rights of his bookstore to Brajanath Mukherjee in 1864.

In 1885 in the autumn of his life, he opened another book store Kolkata Pustakalay on 24, Sukia Street. His own and other copyrighted books were published and sold from this place. For these reasons, Vidyasagar is also called Vidyabanik or the commercial educationist.

Serampore Press: In the second half of the 19th century, Serampore Press was printing books in 34 languages. Here William Kerry printed the first Bengali book. He was assisted in this work by William Ward and Marshman. These persons were nicknamed as Serampore Trio.

Battle Publishers: Besides this, many low-priced books and photographs for the common man were published by the Battala Publishers (1840-70). The printers were mostly located in Chitpur, Shobha Bazaar, Kumartoli, Jorashankho, Mirzapur, Simla, and Sealdah.

WBBSE Chapter 5 Alternative Ideas And Initiatives 8 Marks Questions And Answers:

Question 1. How did the printing press flourish in Bengal?
Answer:

Printing Press in Bengal:

Contribution of Hicky: It first occurred in the mind of Mr. James Augustus Hicky, who came to Calcutta as a trader, that great benefit might arise from setting on foot a public newspaper in the country (Bengal). Accordingly, Hicky sent to England proposals for publishing a newspaper in Bengal, to be published every Saturday under the Gazette. The British Government in England gave a nod to the proposals of Hicky. Simultaneously, in a pledge to the British Government, Hicky affirmed that no article published in the newspaper would convey the smallest offense to any individual. Hicky set up his printing press in 1780, and in the same year brought out the first newspaper of India, (the actual name in which the newspaper was published was Hicky’s Bengal Gazette) in Bengal. The printing press was set up in Bengal at a time when its state of society was of a very low order. The fact is important because several prosecutions were instituted against Hicky as his paper exposed many scandals. He was practically ruined as in 1782 the paper was closed, and the types were confiscated. It must, however, be admitted that Hicky is the pioneer of the Indian press. For his work of editing, he deserves credit for he had not surrendered to the will of the rulers of his time.

Other Newspapers: A host of newspapers followed in quick succession Hickey’s newspaper in the last two decades of the eighteenth century. Of these mention may be made of The India Gazette, The Calcutta Gazette, The Bengal Hurkaru,
The Calcutta Courier and many others.

Criticisms of the Government: The Governor- Generals like Cornwallis, Wellesley, and Minto took very much offense by the criticisms of the press. The criticisms and exposures by the independent papers mentioned above aroused anger and fear among the rulers. Wellesley thought of imposing strict supervision on the press. In 1799 rigid press censorship was imposed by Wellesley.

First Bengali Newspaper: There is a disagreement amongst scholars as to the first Bengali newspaper (newsweekly). According to some authors, the first Bengali newspaper, was, the Bengal Gazette of Gangakishore Bhattacharyya, while according to others it was the Samachar Darpan under the editorship of J. C. Marshman. However, it is admitted on all hands now that the Bengal Gazette is the first weekly newspaper published in 1818 in the Bengali language.

Missionaries of Serampore: Meanwhile, the missionaries of Serampore did an excellent job in the educational, cultural, and social fields by publishing both English and Bengali journals and books. But the efforts of the missionaries had limited success as their only desire was to Christianize the people of the country.

Restrictions on Indian Press: After Lord Hastings resigned, Adams, the officiating Governor-General, reimposed regulations to control the press. The regulations made a clear distinction between the Indian Press: Anglo-Indian and Indian press. While no restriction was imposed upon the Anglo-Indian press, several constraints were imposed upon the Indian press. Rammohan Roy fought bravely in defense of a free press against Adam’s Press Regulations (1823). It was Charles Metcalfe who took the bold step of repealing Adam’s Press Regulation in 1827.

Sambad Prabhakar: The Indian press was maturing by the mid-nineteenth century. The Sambad Prabhakar, edited by Iswarchandra Gupta, came out on 14 June 1839 as a daily paper in Bengali. Sambad Prabhakar is the first vernacular daily run by the Indians.
Act of 1857: The Revolt of 1857, gave a stunning blow to the Indian press in general. In introducing the repressive Act of 1857 Lord Canning made no distinction between publications in Indian vernacular languages and English. Many Indian papers, like Samachar Sudhabarshan, were charged with the crime of sedition before the Supreme Court. With the passing of the East India Company’s rule to the British Crown the Indian press and for that matter the Bengali press got a new lease of life. In Bengal, several newspapers came out. Of these mention may be made of Tattvabodhini Patrika (18431902) founded by Debendranath Tagore, Hindu Patriot (1849) founded by Girish Chandra Ghosh under the editorship of Harish Chandra Mukherjee, etc.

Vernacular Press Act: By the 70s of the nineteenth century Indian nationalism had been gathering momentum. The reactionary regime of Lord Lytton gave it a visible form. Various repressive Acts were passed under his Viceroyalty and one of them concerned imposing restrictions on the vernacular press. The ill-famed Vernacular Press Act of 1878 deprived newspapers published in vernacular languages of their right to criticize the government. Meanwhile, political associations came into being that built up a strong movement against the reactionary measures of the British government in India. As a consequence of this reactionary movement, the government of Lord Ripon ultimately annulled the Vernacular Press Act.

Question 2. How did Rabindranath Tagore protest against colonial education?
Answer:

Rabindranath’s View of Education:

1. Inspiration From Western Education: The young Rabindranath grew up in an atmosphere thick with Western influence. He imbibed a further dose of it in England where he studied at the University of London. However Western education led him to discover the national heritage and appreciation of the cultural legacy of the country’s great past.
2. Criticism of Education Under Colonial Rule: Rabindranath mentions his critique of colonial education in the following points: In the colonial system primary and secondary level education the emphasis was on imparting education through the medium of English. English is very different from Bengali, and to Rabindranath, the English words could hardly evoke any impression in the mind of the learner. The poet felt that the child found no joy in learning, he could not think for himself, and he simply used to memorize a lifeless vocabulary. Under the colonial system, education was linked to the child’s living world. Rabindranath Tagore realized that the quality of life did not change under the colonial system of learning through the medium of English. Rabindranath insisted on the simultaneous learning of ideas as well as linguistic skills.
3. Aim of Education: Elaborating his ideas about the aims of education Rabindranath said that the main objective of education was not “merely to enrich ourselves through the fullness of knowledge”. Rather his opinion in this regard was that the purpose also was to establish the bond of love and friendship between man and man.
4. Humanistic View: Thus it may be said that Rabindranath’s approach to education was humanistic. He believed in an inner harmony between man, nature, and God. In Rabindranath’s idea of education, teachers had to be imaginative. The teachers should understand the child and help the child to develop curiosity in him. Tagore further felt that creative learning could be encouraged only within the natural environment. Living in harmony with nature, children would be able to cultivate their natural creativity.

Question 3. What was the role of Shantiniketan in spreading education?
Answer:

Shantiniketan: The ideals of Rabindranath’s education system had two sides theoretical and practical. The theoretical side of his views on education has been described by him in numerous writings, speeches, and discussions. He gave a practical shape to these opinions by the creation of Shantiniketan, Sriniketan, and Visva Bharati. And this he did in the harsh lands (khowai) of Shantiniketan. For this, he had not asked for any moral or economic support from his countrymen. Maharshi Debendranath Tagore had set up a small ashram named Shantiniketan on nearly twenty bighas of land in Bolpur. The Maharshi had been able to rest his tired body, replenish his soul from the natural surroundings, and had a very mind-fulfilling stay at the ashram. That’s why he had named it Shantiniketan. His son Rabindranath first visited this place at the age of twelve. Nobody knew this ashram would be the place where Rabindranath would establish the educational institute of his dreams and give birth to today’s Biswaniketan.

“Best SAQs for WBBSE Class 10 History Chapter 5, Alternative Ideas and Initiatives”

Path Bhawan: The first school of Shantiniketan was founded on 22nd December 1901. This school was known as Patha Bhavan. Brahmabandhav Upadhyay and one Christian gentleman had helped Rabindranath greatly in this project. The country had awarded him the title Raj Chakraborty for his efforts. However, the idea for setting up a school here was originated by Bolendranath Thakur, the elder brother of the poet. However, on his sudden demise, Rabindranath took upon himself the task of fructifying the dreams of his brother.

Student’s Activities: Rabindranath started the school with just five students. He had laid down strict rules of conduct for them. The morning was to start with prayers after the ablutions. Then this was to be followed by chanting the Vedic mantras and paying respects to the teachers. The students were then made to go barefoot in saffron attires without any umbrella and sit for lessons under a tree. The food served to them was purely vegetarian. Other than cooking, almost all the work including drawing water from the well was to be done by the students.

Last years in Shantiniketan: The last forty years of Rabindranath Tagore were centered in Shantiniketan. The great poet had shifted permanently to Shantiniketan in September 1901. At that time he was the editor of Bangadarshan. The very next year on 23 November 1902 his wife Mrilanini Debi died in the ashram. However, all obstacles and tragedies could not keep the bard from realizing his dreams.

Question 4. Write about the contributions of Visva Bharati and Rabindranath Tagore.
Answer:

Contributions of Visva Bharati and Rabindranath Tagore:

Introduction: Gurudev Rabindranath took the initiative for the creation of Visva Bharati. He shared his ideas first with some Gujarati businessmen. Then he used the word Visva Bharati for the first time in the magazine Shantiniketan. Finally, in 1918, and 23rd December, he established Visva Bharati. The actual work for the institution started on the 18th of July, 1919. He was helped in his efforts by Charles Frear Andrews. Also, he was influenced by the Madras-based National University which was set up by Annie Besant.

Establishment of Visva Bharati University: After he toured Europe and America in 1821, Rabindranath Tagore formed the Bisvabharati Council and the Association for Creation of Visva Bharati. Then in December of the same year with Pandit Brajendranath Sil as the Chancellor and 10 students, the Visva Bharati University was established. The first Principal of the college was Bidhusekhar Bhattacharya. Without him, the idea of Visva Bharati would not have been fructified. He took Rabindranath’s idea of the Visva Bharati forward by resorting to the following ideals.

Objective: Visva Bharati will be the home for students from all over the world. It will be a residence for the entire world’s knowledgeable personalities who will congregate here to discuss and evaluate their knowledge. The ideals of Rabindranath and the entire world will merge at Visva Bharati.

WBBSE Solutions For Class 10 History And Environment Chapter 5 Alternative Ideas And Initiatives Question And Answers Visva Bharati University,Birbhum

Ideal Education System: The poet has said that the nation’s imparted education gives way to the ways of life in that country. In India, he said that the current education ensures that a person will become a clerk or a daroga (head constable). Modern education is very difficult to introduce in a country full of tillers and potters. In no other educated country, this is possible. An ideal school according to Rabindranath should be a place where economics, agricultural science, health sciences, and all other practical sciences should be taught which will help in making the lives of his countrymen more easy. This school should be a place where students study subjects that the average Indian usually deals in like cow rearing, cloth weaving, existing economic systems, and even the lives of the Adivasis in the country.

Foreign Teachers: With the encouragement of Rabindranath Tagore many foreign teachers took posts of teaching in the university. Some of them were Marc Clarke from Germany, M. Bonoya, and Silvat Levi from France. Others were Lesin from Prague, Winternitz and Tucci Formic, from Italy, Casanova from Russia, the Bakes couple from England, Casahara and Tan Yun Sun from Japan, and Dr. Harry Timber and Mrs. Timber from the USA.

Ideals of Shantiniketan: The idea of Shantiniketan was to merge the thoughts and philosophies of all countries of the world with those of India. The University came up in the Bolpur district of Bengal and it was set up a month after the end of the First World War. The war had a great influence on the poet and he wanted to create an institution that valued world peace. Brajendranath Sil tried to describe the endeavor of creating the University in his words as ‘the whole world should come to India (Shantiniketan), the people who come here will be educated in Indian ethos and culture, will adopt Indian thoughts and ways of life, and this will inspire the locals (Indians) to understand their values and culture’.

Conclusion: Simply looking for not only essentially an identity for oneself in the world is not enough, the objectives of Visva Bharati are far wider. It is to realize oneself it is to feel oneself; through others also. Man will achieve salvation here through interaction with other men. These ideals were the basis of the formation of Visva Bharati. Born out of Colonialism, Shantiniketan is a historic name in the annals of history. Ten years after Rabindranath’s death, Visva Bharati was given the status of a Central University its first Chancellor was Jawaharlal Nehru and the first Vice-Chancellor was Rathindranath Tagore, the poet’s son.

Question 5. Discuss about the correlation of nature, man, and education in the thoughts of Rabindranath Tagore.
Answer:

Education in Harmony with Nature :

1. Tagore’s Views: Tagore felt that for the students it is necessary to “dream to live in harmony with the environment”. He used to say that true education consisted of knowing the use of any useful material that had been collected and knowing its real nature. Elaborating the concept of education Tagore said: “Neither the education of the senses nor the education of the intellect, but the education of the feeling should receive the place of honor in our schools our true education is possible only in the forest, through intimate contact with nature and purifying austere pursuits(Siksha: pl45,1342 b.s.)
2. Idea of the School: Rabindranath founded his school based on his ideas of education at Shantiniketan in 1901. The school was set up following the model of the ancient (Vedic period) forest schools in India. The idea that inspired him to start the school has been wonderfully expressed in a letter written by Rabindranath to Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose. He wrote that the school that he was trying to start would be conducted just along the lines of residential institutions of ancient times. Further, he expressed, “There shall not be the least trace of luxury. We shall not be able to become true Hindus if we do not learn rigid Brahmacharya (italics mine). Frivolity and luxury are degenerating in us. Wants of all descriptions are over-powering as only because we are failing to accept poverty with equanimity” (Sabuj Patra Vol. II: p30). The inauguration of Shantiniketan school, called Brahmacharyasram took place on 22 December 1901. It was started on a small scale.

“WBBSE Class 10 History Alternative Ideas and Initiatives, short answer questions”

3. Aims of the School: The aims were: 1. To ensure that the students are taught the importance of Indian heritage

2. To give it a universal humanist outlook

3. To provide all-round development of the students. The students had no fixed curriculum. The goal of education was to ‘synthesize knowledge and feeling’. In the words of Rabindranath, Shantiniketan was a ‘sapling’ that was to grow into Visva Bharati, a widely branching tree.

4. Cultural Synthesis: Rabindranath strongly felt that harmony and mutual understanding between the two cultures — East and West- -was essential for mutual benefit. With this end in view, Rabindranath built up an educational institution in the form of Visva Bharati. By way of explaining the aim and function of Visva Bharati Rabindranath said that being strongly impressed by the need and responsibility he had laid the initiative of an international university for promoting mutual understanding between the East and the West. The institution, he said, would invite students from the West and the East to study the different systems of Indian philosophy, literature, art, and music. It is evident from what had been said by Rabindranath that the Visva Bharati was developed as a center of Indian culture.

Question 6. Discuss the role of the press in arousing nationalist sentiments in India.
Answer:

Introduction: The introduction of the printing press in India was an event of revolutionary significance in the life of the Indian people. The awakening and growth of national consciousness among them gave rise to the nationalist press. The national movement, on its political side, was possible because of the facility of political education and propaganda provided by the press. With its help, the Indian nationalist groups were able to popularize among the people the ideas of representative government, liberty, democratic institutions, Home Rule, Dominion Status, and Independence.

Ram Mohan Roy’s Contribution: Raja Rammohan Roy was the founder of the nationalist press in India. His Sambad Kaumudi in Bengali published in 1821 and Mirat-ul-Akbar in Persian published in 1822 were the first publications in India with distinct nationalist and democratic progressive orientations. These papers were mainly the organs of the propaganda of social reform.

Magazines and Periodicals in Different Regions of India: Fardoonji Murzban was the pioneer of the vernacular (Gujarati) Press in Bombay. It was as early as 1822 that he started the Bombay Samachar which was a daily. The progressive administrative measures of Lord Bentinck gave an impetus to the growth of Indian journalism. Bang Dutt (in Bengali) with the efforts of Dwarakanath Tagore, Prasanna Kumar Tagore, and Raja Rammohan Roy was founded in 1830. Jam-e-Jamshed (in Gujarati), a daily, was started in Bombay in 1831 by Motiwala, a Parsee. Two more papers in Gujarati, Rast Goftar and Akbar-e-Saudagar were founded in Bombay in 1851. Dadabhai Naoroji, the founder and leader of the Indian National Congress, edited Rast Goftar. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, a nationalist and social reformer, started the Somprakash in Bengali in 1858. When disturbances broke out in 1860 in the indigo-growing areas in Bengal, it strongly defended the interests of the farmers.

Indian Council’s Act, 1861: The enactment of the Indian Council’s Act of 1861 led to the growth of political awakening among the upper section of Indian society. This stimulated the expansion of both Indian and non-Indian press in the following years. The Times of India was founded in Bombay in 1861, The Pioneer in Allahabad in 1865, The Madras Mail in 1868, The Statesman in Calcutta in 1875, and The Civil and Military Gazette in Lahore in 1876.

Growth of Nationalist Press: The nationalist press also grew during this period. In Bengal, The Amrit Bazaar Patrika was founded as an Anglo-Bengali weekly in 1868 by the Ghose brothers – Hemachandrakumar, Shishirkumar, and Motilal. To circumvent the Vernacular Press Act of 1878, it was converted wholly into an English weekly. It was turned into an English daily in 1891. It propagated strong nationalist views and had been one of the most popular of nationalist newspapers.

Contribution of Surendranath Banerjee: Surendranath Banerjee, one of the prominent leaders of Indian nationalism, edited and owned The Bengali (in English) in 1879. It propagated the views of the moderate wing of the liberal school of Indian ‘political thought’. Under the guidance of Surendranath Banerjee, Dayal Singh Majeethia started The Tribune of Lahore, an English daily, in 1877. It was an influential paper in the Punjab with a liberal nationalist hue.

Socialist and Communist Press: After 1923, socialist and communist ideas began to spread slowly in India. Kranti, a Marathi weekly and an official organ of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Party of India, and Spark and New Spark, both English weeklies respectively, edited by M.G. Desai and Hutchinson, had, as their declared aim, the spread of Marxism in India and support to the independent political and economic movements of the workers and peasants. Between 1930 and 1939, the workers’ and peasants’ movements gathered further strength. Socialist and communist ideas penetrated the Congress youth. Thus, came into existence the Congress Socialist Party, which published The Congress Socialist, an English weekly as its main official organ. The communists had National Front and subsequently Peoples War, both English weeklies as the principal organs of their propaganda. M. N. Roy, differing from the official communists, formed his group with independent India, with an English weekly as its main official organ.

Development of Literature: The press also helped the growth of regional literature and cultures which were provincial in form and national in content. In Bengal, Maharashtra, Andhra, Gujarat, Malabar, Uttar Pradesh, and other provinces, rich provincial literature came into existence. The press, on the other hand, acted as an effective weapon in the hands of social reform groups to expose the social evils prevalent in Indian society. It also helped them to organize propaganda on a vast scale against such institutions. The press became a medium in their hands through which they propagated their principles, programs, and methods of democratic reconstruction of the Indian society.

Conclusion: Such was the vital role of the press in the building up of an increasingly strong national sentiment and consciousness among the Indian people, in the development and consolidation of their growing nationalist movement, and in the creation of national and provincial literature and cultures.

Question 7. Discuss the relation between the printed text and the dissemination of knowledge.
Answer:

Relation Between the Printed Text and Dissemination of Knowledge: During the 18th-19th century the Indian common folk were largely illiterate and would have remained so for many centuries. But some educated enlightened Indians and a small number of professional people who lived and worked in towns, however, felt the need for books. In India in the past, like in many Western countries, copyists multiplied books by hand. But with the introduction of printing, textbooks of all sorts, English and vernacular, grammar, and elementary books were published that catered to the needs of the people. Printed books became a medium for the dissemination of knowledge. The elementary Bengali textbook that deserves mention for the learning of the Bengali language is Varna Parichay by Iswarchandra Vidyasagar. However, how printing helped the dissemination of knowledge may be explained with some examples.

Baptist Mission Press: In 1800 the Baptist Mission was founded in Serampore, and the Baptist Mission Press started printing books in Bengali and other vernacular languages. In the same year, Fort William College was founded by Lord Wellesley in Calcutta. In the college young civilians were taught various languages like Bengali, Parsee, and Hindusthani. Qualified persons were appointed as teachers who needed textbooks for instruction to the students. It was the Serampore Press that supplied books to the students (trainee civilians) of Fort William College.

Vernacular Literature: The Baptist Mission and its Press printed and published textbooks, religious books, and other works in vernacular languages, and in English. Also, several books translated from English to Bengali were there in the list of publications. All this facilitated the assimilation of Eastern and Western cultures in this country.

Bengali Press: How the publication of Bengali periodicals and newspapers helped in the dissemination of knowledge may be understood from the comment made in the Oriental Star (16 May 1818) on the occasion of the appearance of the Bengali periodical Bengal Gazette. It was said that the diffusion of general knowledge and information amongst the natives must lead to beneficial effects.
Spread of Education: The printing press helped the spread of education. The middle-class people of the towns who were being educated needed the help of study materials. Printing presses fulfilled their demand. Previously, the copyist, after hard toil could at best produce two books in a year. When there was no printing press the scribes copied manuscripts by hand. The copies made by hand were sometimes illegible, and the reader was forced to guess what was written. But with the invention of printing constant proofreading and correction helped to produce the exact copy of the manuscripts. This made it possible to obtain fuller knowledge.

WBBSE Chapter 3 Resistance And Rebellion Characteristics And Analyses Short Answer Questions

Question 1. Write a short note on the Bheel revolt.
Answer:

Bheel revolt

Introduction: The Bheels were tribal and backward people of the western ghat region of Maharastra and Gujarat. The Bheel burst out into rebellion between 1818 and 1857 against rich landholders and the East India Company.

Causes:
1. The Bheels wanted to stop the exploitations of the British rulers.
2. The British laws oppressed the people.
3. The women were also exploited by the Britishers.
4. The Christian Missionaries started to convert them to Christianity.
The Bheels had monopoly power at Khandesh. They restored to plunder and loot on rich landholders. Continuo’s plunder seriously affected the law and order of Khandesh. To bring an end to anarchical conditions, the British government occupied Khandesh in 1818. From that time onwards the Bheels under different leaders like Chil Naik, Hiria, Dra, etc. burst out into rebellion. Exaction and encroachments of the Government were the causes of the Bheel Revolt. After the 1st phase of the revolt was over, the Bheels once again appeared in full strength under the leadership of Bheema Naik, Daulat Singh, and others in 1857 and attacked the British sepoys.

Answer:

WBBSE For Class 10 History And Environment Chapter 3 Resistance And Rebellion (Characteristics And Analyses) Titumir

Importance of the Wahabi Movement:

  1. The Tariqah-i-Muhammadia movement has been characterized by some scholars as the ‘Indian Wahabi’ movement. William Hunter has pointed out that the Wahabi movement under Titumir was in reality a struggle of the oppressed peasantry against zamindari oppression.
  2. There are indeed many similarities between these two movements but there is no historical evidence of any contact between the two. The Wahabis rejected mysticism as an un-Islamic innovation whereas the followers of Titumir regarded it
  3. In the politico-economic program of the Barasat Uprising, the elements of class struggle and anti-imperialism were present. The rebels were inspired by the motive of freeing India from British rule, but their struggle was not for securing freedom for India but for the re-establishment of Muslim supremacy.
  4. According to R.C. Majumdar, ‘”It was a movement of the Muslims, by the Muslims and for the Muslims  But we have to note that the movement was not directed against the ordinary Hindu masses. The movement had certainly paved the way for the solidarity that the Hindu and Muslim peasants were to demonstrate during the Indigo Rebellion in 1860.
  5. In the dual analysis, one has to admit, however, that the politico-economic program of the Ferazi and Wahabi movements was overshadowed by religious fanaticism at times.

Or, Name one leader of the Santhal Revolt. What were the main reasons for this revolt? Analyze the importance of the revolt. Or, Write a note on the Santhal Rebellion (1855).
Answer:

A Santhal boy Sidhu was one of the remarkable leaders of the Santhal Rebellion.

Causes:

It was the rent question that created discontent among the Santhals. The rate of tax went on increasing continuously and the Santhal peasants found it difficult to pay.

Besides regular tax, certain illegal taxes were imposed by the Naibs or tax collectors which were collected from the Santhal peasants oppressively.

The Santhals were also subjected to oppression by the money-lenders who charged high rates of interest ranging from 50% to 500%.

The contractors, who were mostly Europeans, were no less oppressive. Examples are not rare to show how the tribal people were subjected to oppression like taking of kids, fowls, etc. without making any payment.

The Santhals themselves took up arms against the oppressors only after they had become convinced that complaints made in the court or to higher officials would be of no avail.

The first mass gathering took place at Baghnadihi where Santhals were supported by non-Santhal peasants. Later on, Santhal revolt (hul) took place under the leadership of Siddhu Santhal and Kanu Santhal.

  2. The Santhal revolt exposed the true nature of colonial exploitation of the people by the collaboration of zamindars and the money-lending class.

Answer:

Peasants’ Revolt in Pabna (1870) :

Introduction: Peasants’ Revolt in Pabna (presently in Bangladesh) is an ideal example of how the question of rent (khana) created a bitter relationship between the zamindars and the ryots

Tenancy Act, 1859: The Tenancy Act of 1859 was put into force to safeguard the interests of rich peasants and the landed peasantry (jotted). It was expected that the two classes of people would act as precursors to the development of agriculture. But this did not take place. The zamindars did never follow the provisions of the Act. While the Tenancy Act did not allow occupancy rights to the peasants, it allowed the zamindars to enhance rent at their sweet will.

Coercion of Rent: Official records show that enhancement of rent proceeded after 1859. The peasants were forced to pay the increased rent, failing which they were evicted. In such a condition the discontent of the peasants found expression in local

Characteristics feature: The characteristic feature of the revolt was that the Muslim peasants of Pabna fought hand in hand with the Hind. The revolt took the form of a rent strike as the peasants refused to pay rent to the zamindars.

“Class 10 WBBSE History Chapter 3 SAQs, Characteristics and Analyses, exam guide”

Leaders: Leaders of the movement came from the rich peasants, tears, village headmen, and others.

He with his assistant Sambhunath Pal moved from village to village organizing the league. Khoodi Mollah, a Muslim jotedar, also organized the peasants against the zamindar.

Tariqah-i-Muhammadiya:
1. Introduction: The real name of the Wahabi Movement was Tariqah-i-Muhammadiya. The term Tariqah-i-Muhammadiya means the path shown by Muhammad.

Between 1820 and 1822, the movement gained considerable momentum and its centers were established in many parts of north India.
2. Objective: The movement initiated by Syed Ahmed Barelvi was designed to revive the ways of the Prophet. Along with this, he put forward the objective of driving the British out of the country.
3. Nature: Under British rule, India had become an ‘unholy land’ (dar-u!-harb), and Barelvi desired, through the movement, to convert the country into a ‘land of Islam’ (dar- ul-Islam). The movement crossed the narrow limits of religion exclusively. Under the instructions of Syed Ahmed Barelvi training centers were set up in different parts of north India where the followers had some sort of military training. The peasantry formed the core of the Tariqah-i-Muhammadiya and the movement was directed against the oppressors like the zamindars, indigo planters, money-lenders, and others
4. Battle Against the Sikhs: However, before a holy war could be started the followers of the Tariqah-i-Muhammadiya or the Wahabis had to face the Sikh power. For, the military preparation of the Wahabis in the northwest part of India was considered an attempt to ot the Sikhs from Punjab. In the Battle of Balako! (1831), fought between the Wahabis and the Sikhs, Syed Ahmed Barelvi with many of his followers died. Nevertheless, the followers of Syed Ahmed Barelvi continued their fight vigorously against the British and other oppressors.

Question 14. State the concepts of rebellion, uprising, and revolution.
Answer:

Rebellion, Uprising, and Revolution: Etymologically, the three words rebellion, uprising, and revolution differ in meaning. When turmoil and unrest accumulate inside people, it takes the form of rebellion. For torture, injustice, and oppression over a long period people organize protests and rebellions. A rebellion, generally, is started by a particular group of people, in a particular location and for a particular cause. It is just the beginning of a larger movement. For instance, take the example of the Santhal Rebellion or the Sepoy Mutiny. An uprising took place as the major outcome of a rebellion. The ‘uprising’ and ‘rebellion’ are closely related to each other. For example, the uprising of the western educated middle class of India resulted in a national movement on a larger scale. Similarly, the word ‘revolution’ means a rapid change in society and thoughts against traditional defective systems and society. Its main objective is to change anything for the benefit of man and civilization. Revolution does not become imperative unless a great change takes place through rebellion and uprising. A revolution takes place only after transcending the preliminary stages of rebellion and uprising. For example, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, the Russian Revolution, and the Armed Revolution in India, etc. brought changes.

Nevertheless, it is not possible to identify the nature of the movement as anti-British.

Importance of the Rangpur Rebellion:
1. The revolt manifested the evils of the colonial rule
2. The uprising also proved beyond doubt that the Company’s authorities in London, their officers posted in India, and their Indian agents such as gomostas, daisies, and others were all linked up forming a chain as it were
3. The uprising also brought to the fore the weaknesses of the system of leasing out of the land, that is to say, the ijaradari system. The system introduced by Warren Hastings was subjected to criticism
4. Also the importance of the rebellion lies in the fact that discussions were now on amongst the official circle for the reform of the revenue system.

Question 16. State some causes of tribal uprisings.
Answer:

Causes of Tribal Uprisings:

Some of the important causes of tribal uprisings were :
1. The British land settlements in India had eroded the tribal traditions of joint ownership and sharpened tensions within the tribal society.
3. The tightening of governmental control over the forest zones, creation of reserved forests, and attempts to monopolize forest wealth through curbs on the e of timber, and grazing facilities, caused great unrest among the tribals on account of dislocation in the tribal economy.
4. The tribals also resented the introduction of general laws which they considered as intrusions into their personal lives.
5. The tribals were also greatly influenced by movements of internal religious and sociocultural reform.
6. Some of the tribal uprisings took place in reaction to the efforts of the landlords to enhance taxes on timber and grazing, police exactions, new excise regulations, exploitation by low-country traders and money lenders, and restrictions on shifting cultivation in forests.

Answer: The Forest Acts meant hardship to the villagers across the country. The Forest Acts deprived the tribals (Adivasi) of all their everyday practices. Cutting wood for their hoes, collecting fruits and roots, hunting, etc. were banned. The tribal women were particularly disturbed as they were unable to cook food in fuel wood collected from forests. Most importantly, grazing and shifting cultivation (jhum) which were the lifeblood of millions of Indians suffered immensely as these were banned in areas under the control of the colonial government.

Question 73. What were the reactions of tribal people towards the forest acts?
Answer: Vario strategies were ed by the different categories of the Adivasis against the state monopoly of the forest.

WB Class 7 Math Solution Algebraic Formula Exercise 12.5

Question 1. In the identity No. (4) if x = a and a = b, then let’s find if it becomes identity No. (1).
Solution :

In the identity No. (4) ie.

x = a and a = b

⇒ (x + a) (x + b) = x² + (a + b)x + ab

⇒ When x = a & a = b

⇒ (a + b) (a + b) = a² + 2ab + b²

⇒ or, (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² . It is identified as No. (1)

Question 2. In the identity No. (4), let’s substitute x = a and a = – b, and verify if it becomes identity No. (3).
Solution:

x = a and a = – b,

In the identity No. (4) ie.

(x + a) (x + b) = x² + (a + b)x+ ab

(a-b) (a + b) = a² +(a-a)0 + (-b)(b)

= a²- b² It is identify No. (3)

Question 3. In identity (4), let’s substitute x = a and a = – b, and try to identify which identity it changes to.
Solution :

In identity No (4) ie.

x = a and a = – b

(x + a) (x + b) = x²+ (a + b)x + ab

(a- b)(a +b) = a² + -ab + ab- b²

= a² – b²

Question 4. Using the formula (a² – b²) = (a + b) (a – b) let’s find the values 

1. (37)² – (13)²
Solution :

(37)² – (13)²

= (37+13) (37-13)

= 50 × 24 = 1200

(37)² – (13)² = 1200

(2.06)² – (0.94)²
Solution :

(2.06)² – (0.94)²

= (2.06 + 0.94) (2.06 – 0.94)

= (3.00) (1.12) = 3. 36

(2.06)² – (0.94)² = 3. 36

3. (78) × (82)
Solution :

(78) × (82)

= (80 – 2) (80 + 2)

= (80)² – (2)²

= 6400 – 4 = 6396

(78) × (82) = 6396

4. 1.15 × 0.85
Solution :

1.15 × 0.85

= (1.00 + .15) (1.00 – .15)

= (1)2-(.15)² = 1 – .0225

= 0.9775

1.15 × 0.85 = 0.9775

5.(65)²- (35)²
Solution :

(65)²- (35)²

= (65 + 35) (65 – 35)

= 100 × 30 = 3000

(65)²- (35)² = 3000

Question 2.

 1. If k – p² = (9 + p) (9 – p) let’s find the value of k.
Solution :

k – p²= (9 + p) (9 – p)

= (9 + p)(9-p) =81 -p²

k = 81.

The value of k = 81.

2. If (25 – 4x²) = (5 + ax) (5 – ax) let’s find the positive value of a.
Solution:

25 -4x² = (5 + ax) (5 – ax)

= 25 – a²x²

∴ a² = 4

∴ a = \(\sqrt{4}\) =2

3. Let us fill in the box, so that the identity (4 – x) x = (16 – x²) is satisfied.
Solution :

(4 – x) x = (1 6 – x²)

= (4)² – (x)²

= (4 – x) (4 + x)

= 4 + x

Question 3. Let’s express the following in the product form using a formula.

1. 25I² – 16m²
Solution:

25l²-16m²

= (5l)²-(43)²

= (5I + 4m) (5I – 4m)

25l²-16m² = (5I + 4m) (5I – 4m)

2. 49x4 – 36y4
Solution :

49x4 – 36y4

= (7x²)² – (6y²)²

= (7x² + 6y²) (7x² – 6y²)

49x4 – 36y4 = (7x² + 6y²) (7x² – 6y²)

3. (2a + b)² – (a + b)²
Solution :

(2a + b)² – (a + b)²

‘= (2a + b + a + b) (2a + b – a – b)

= (3a + 2b) (a) = a(3a + 2b)

(2a + b)² – (a + b)² = a(3a + 2b)

4. (x + y)² – (a + b)²
Solution :

(x + y)² – (a + b)²

= (x + y + a + b) (x + y – a – b)

(x + y)² – (a + b)² = (x + y + a + b) (x + y – a – b)

5. (x + y – z)² – (x – y + z)²
Solution :

(x + y – z)² – (x – y + z)²

= (x + y – z + x – y + z) (x + y – z – x + y – z)

= 2x (2y – 2z) = 4x (y – z)

(x + y – z)² – (x – y + z)² = 2x (2y – 2z) = 4x (y – z)

6. (m + p + q)² – (m – p – q)²
Solution :

(m + p> + q)² – (m – p – q)²

= (m + p + q + m – p – q) (m + p + q – m + p + q)

= 2m (2p + 2q) = 4m (p + q)

(m + p> + q)² – (m – p – q)² = 2m (2p + 2q) = 4m (p + q)

= {(c)² -(d)²} (c² + d²)

= (c² – d²) (c² + d²)

= (c²)² – (d²)² = c4 – d4

(c + d) (c – d) (c² + d²) = c4 – d4

2. (1 + 3x²) (1 + 3x²) (1 + 9x4)
Solution :

(1 + 3x²) (1 + 3x²) (1 + 9x4)

= {(1 )² – (3x²)²} (1 +9x4)

= (1 – 9x4) (1 + 9x4)

= (1² ) (9x4

= 1 – 81 x8

(1 + 3x²) (1 + 3x²) (1 + 9x4) = 1 – 81 x8

3. (a² + b²) (a² – b²) (a4 + b4) (a8 + b8)
Solution :

(a² + b²) (a² – b²) (a4 + b4) (a8 + b8)

= {(a²)² – (b²)²} (a4 + b4) (a8 + b8)

= (a4 – b4) (a4 + b4) (a8 + b8)

= {(a4)2 – (b4)2} (a8 + b8)

= (a8 – b8) (a8 + b8)

= (a8)2 – (b8)2

= a16 – b16

(a² + b²) (a² – b²) (a4 + b4) (a8 + b8) = a16 – b16

Question 5. Let’s express the following in the product form.

1. 16c4 – 81 d4
Solution :

16c4 – 81

16c4 – 81 = (4c²)° – (9d²)²

16c4 – 81 = (4c² – 9d²) (4c² + 9d²)

16c4 – 81 = {(2c)² – (3d)²} (4c² + 9d²)

16c4 – 81 = (2c + 3d) (2c – 3d) (4c ²+ 9d²)

16c4 – 81 = (2c + 3d) (2c – 3d) (4c ²+ 9d²)

2. p4q4 – r4s4

Solution :

(a + b + c) (b + c – a) (c + a – b) (a + b – c)

= (a + b + c) (a + b – c) (b + c – a) (c + a – b)

= {(a + b)² – c²} {c – (a – b)} {c + (a – b)}

= {(a + b)² – c²} {c² – (a -b)²}

= c² (a + b)² – c4 – (a – b)² (a + b)² + c² (a – b)²

= c² {(a + b)² + (a – b)²} – c4 – (a2 – b²)² .

=.c² (2a² + 2b²) – c4 – (a4 – 2a²b² + b4)

= 2a²c²+ 2b²c² + 2a²b² – a4 -b4 – c4

(a + b + c) (b + c – a) (c + a – b) (a + b – c) = 2a²c²+ 2b²c² + 2a²b² – a4 -b4 – c4

= (a² +1 + a) (a² + 1- a) (a4 – a² + 1)

= { (a² + 1- a² }(a4 +1- a²)

= (a4+2a² +1-a²)(a4 +1-a²)

= (a4 +1 + a²)(a 4 +1-a²)

= (a4 )+ 2a4 +1- a4

= a8 +2a4 +1-a4

= a8+ a4+1

(a² + a + 1) (a² – a + 1) (a4 – a² + 1) = a8+ a4+1

x4 + y4 -2x²y² .

= \(\left(x^2-y^2\right)^2\)

= \((x+y)^2(x-y)^2\)

= \(\left(a+\frac{1}{a}+a-\frac{1}{b}\right)^2\left(a+\frac{1}{a}-a+\frac{1}{a}\right)^2\)

= \((2 a)^2 \times\left(\frac{2}{a}\right)^2\)

= \(4 a^2 \times \frac{4}{a^2}\)

= 16

The value of x4 + y4-2x²y² = 16

= (4x² + 4x +1)- (a² – 8a +1 6)

= (2x +1)²-(a-4)²

(4x² + 4x + 1- a² + 8a-16) = (2x +1)²-(a-4)²

Question 12. Let’s express \(a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}-3\) as the difference of two squares (in the form a² – b²)
Solution:

⇒ \(a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}-3\)

= \(a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}-2-1\)

= a²- 2a \(\frac{1}{a}\)+ \(\frac{1}{a^2}\) – (1)²

= (a- \(\frac{1}{a}\))² – (1)²

\(a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}-3\) = (a- \(\frac{1}{a}\))² – (1)²

Class 7 Math Solution WBBSE Arithmetic Chapter 2 Ratio Exercise 2 Solved Problems

Ratio: A ratio is a method to compare two quantities of the same kind having the same unit, obtained by dividing the first quantity by the second quantity.

⇒ Hence, the ratio is an abstract number, it has no units.
⇒ The ratio of a to b is written as a: b and is read as a is to be.

Terms of the ratio:

⇒ The two number which forms the ratio are called the “Terms of the ratio”.

Read and Learn More WBBSE Solutions for Class 7 Maths

⇒ The first term of the ratio is called ‘Antecedent’ and the second one is called the ‘Consequent”.

⇒ In the ratio 37, 3 is called the antecedent of the ratio, whereas 7 is called ‘Consequent’.

⇒ The ratio can be expressed in fractional form. The antecedent becomes the numerator and the consequent becomes the denominator of the fraction.

“WBBSE Class 7 Maths Arithmetic Chapter 2 ratio solutions”

The ratio are mainly of two types:

1.  Simple ratio
2. Mixed or Compound ratio

1. Simple ratio: The ratio between two quantities of the same kind is known as the simple ratio.

Example: 34, 8: 12.

2. Mixed or Compound ratio: The ratio whose antecedent is the product of the antecedents of two or more simple ratios and whose consequent is the product of the consequents of those ratios is termed as a mixed or compound ratio.

Example: The compound ratio of 2: 3, 5: 4, and 6: 8 is (2 x 5 x 6): (3 x 4 x 8) = 60: 96 = 5:8 [dividing each term by 12]

The simple ratio are of three types:

1. Ratio of greater equality (or Major Ratio): In this type of ratio, the antecedent is greater than the consequent.

Example: 5: 3.

2.  Ratio of lesser inequality (or Minor Ratio): In this type of ratio, the antecedent is less than the consequent.

Example: 3: 7.

3.  Ratio of Equality (or Equal Ratio): In this type of ratio, the antecedent is exactly equal to the consequent.

Example: 4: 4 or 1: 1.

Inverse Ratio: Of two ratios, if the antecedent and consequent of one are respectively the consequent and antecedent of the other, they are said to be inverse ratio or reciprocal to one another.

Example: the inverse ratio of 4:5 is 5: 4

The reciprocal fraction of \(\frac{7}{9} \text { is } \frac{9}{7}\)

Proportional part: To divide a given quantity into proportional parts is to divide it into parts that will be proportional to certain numbers.

“WBBSE solutions for Class 7 Maths ratio exercise 2 solved problems”

Example: suppose divide ₹ 640 among A, B, and C in such a way that the money each gets will be in a ratio of 5: 3: 2. Find, how much money each of them gets.

Given

suppose divide ₹ 640 among A, B, and C in such a way that the money each gets will be in a ratio of 5: 3: 2.

A’s money B’s money: C’s money = 5:3:2

∴ Proportional part of A’s money = \(=\frac{5}{5+3+2}=\frac{5}{10}\)

⇒ Proportional part of B’s money = \(=\frac{3}{5+3+2}=\frac{3}{10}\)

⇒ Proportional part of C’s money=\(=\frac{2}{5+3+2}=\frac{2}{10}\)

⇒ Total money= ₹640

∴ A gets = ₹ \(\left(640 \times \frac{5}{10}\right)\) = ₹ 320

B gets = ₹ \(\left(640 \times \frac{3}{10}\right)\) = ₹ 192

C gets = ₹ \(\left(640 \times \frac{2}{10}\right)\) = ₹128

Question 10. Out of 100 sums, Arpita got 70 sums correct. Out of 80 of those sums, Kabita got 60 sums correct. Express them in ratio to find, who got more sums correct.

Solution:

Given

Out of 100 sums, Arpita got 70 sums correct. Out of 80 of those sums, Kabita got 60 sums correct.

Of Arpita the ratio of correct sums and the total sum is

70:100 = 7:10 = 7 x 2 : 10 x 2
= 14: 20

Of Kabita, the ratio of correct sums of the total sum is 60: 80 3:4 = 3 x 5:4×5 = 15:20

As 15 > 14,

∴ \(\frac{15}{20}>\frac{14}{20}\)

Question 6. The monthly income of a man is Rs. 24,750. He pays house rent of Rs. 750 and the remaining money is spent on household expenses and the education of children in the ratio of 3:1. Let’s find how much money is spent on household expenses.
Solution :

Given

⇒ The monthly income of a man is Rs. 24,750. He pays house rent of Rs. 750 and the remaining money is spent on household expenses and the education of children in the ratio of 3:1.

⇒ Total monthly income = Rs. 24,750.

⇒ He pays for House rent = Rs. 750

⇒ Remaining money = Rs. 24000.

⇒ Now the ratio of expenses for household & educational experiences = 3:1

⇒ Proportional part of household expenses = \(\frac{3}{3+1}=\frac{3}{4}\)

⇒ And proportional part of educational expenses = \(\frac{1}{3+1}=\frac{1}{4}\)

∴  Expenses for household = \(\frac{3}{4}\) × Rs.2400

= 3 × Rs. 6,000 = Rs. 18,000.

Question 11. Let’s divide Rs. 9,000 among three friends in such a way that the second friend gets twice the amount the first friend gets. and the third friend gets half of the total sum of money the two friends have got. Let’s calculate how much amount of money each friend will get. [if the first friend gets Re.1, the second friend will get Rs.2, and the third friend will get Rs. \(\frac{1+2}{2}\)= Rs \(\frac{3}{2}\). The ratio of the amount of money that three friends get is = 1:2:1 = 2:4:3
Solution:

Let the 1st friend get Re. 1

⇒ 2nd friend gets = 2 x Re. 1 = Rs. 2

⇒ The 3rd friend gets = Rs. \(\frac{1+2}{2}\) = \(\frac{3}{2}\)

∴ The ratio of the amount of money that three friends get

= 1:2:\(\frac{3}{2}\) = 2:4:3

⇒ Total amount of money = Rs. 9,000

⇒ Proportional part of money of 1st friend =\(\frac{2}{2+4+3}=\frac{2}{9}\)

⇒ Proportional part of moeny of 2nd friend = \(\frac{4}{2+4+3}=\frac{4}{9}\)

⇒ Proportional part of money of 3rd friend = \(\frac{3}{2+4+3}=\frac{2}{9}\)

∴  1 st friend will get = Rs. \(9000 \times \frac{2}{9}\) = Rs. 1000 × 2 = Rs. 2000

⇒ 2nd friend will get = Rs. \(9000 \times \frac{4}{9}\) = Rs. 1000 × 4 = Rs. 4000

Question 14. Aminoor uncle cultivated brinjal and potato in a ratio of 4 : 3 is his 35 katha land. He made a profit of Rs. 150 per katha for brinjal and Rs. 125 per katha for potato. Let’s calculate the total amount of profit of Aminoor’s uncle from his cultivation of brinjal and potato in his total land.
Solution :

Given

⇒ Aminoor uncle cultivated brinjal and potato in a ratio of 4 : 3 is his 35 katha land. He made a profit of Rs. 150 per katha for brinjal and Rs. 125 per katha for potato.

⇒ Ratio of area land for cultivation brinjal and potato = 4:3

⇒ The total area of land of Aminoor uncle = 35 Katha

⇒ Area of land for cultivation of brinjal = \(\frac{4}{7}\) x Rs. 35 Katha

= 4 × 5 katha = 20 Katha.

⇒ Area of land for cultivation potato = (35 – 20) Katha = 15 Katha

⇒ Now profit for cultivation of brinjal = Rs. 150 per Katha& profit for cultivation potato = Rs. 125 per Katha

⇒ Profit for cultivation of brinjal in 20 Katha = Rs. 150 × 20 = Rs. 3000

⇒ Profit for cultivation of potato in 15 Katha = Rs. 125× 15 = Rs. 1875

⇒ The total amount of profit of Aminoor’s uncle for the cultivation of brinjal & potato

= Rs. 3000+ Rs. 1875

= Rs. 4875

⇒ Ratio of profit for cultivation of brinjal & potato

= Rs. 3000: Rs. 1875

= 200: 125 (dividing both by 15)

= 8:5 (dividing both by 2)
