Basic Proportionality Theorem states that, if a line is parallel to a side of a triangle which intersects the other sides into two distinct points,then the line divides those sides of the triangle in proportion.
Let ABC be the triangle.
The line l parallel to BC intersect AB at D and AC at E.
To prove AD/DB =AE/EC
Join BE,CD
Draw EF⊥AB, DG⊥CA
Since EF⊥AB,
EF is the height of triangles ADE and DBE
Area of △ADE=1/2 × base × height=1/2AD×EF
Area of △DBE= 1/2 ×DB×EF
areaofΔDBEareaofΔADE=1/2×AD×EF/ 1/2×DB×EF=AD/DB ........(1)
Similarly,
areaofΔDCEareaofΔADE= 1/2 ×AE×DG/ 1/2 ×EC×DG =AE/EC ......(2)
But ΔDBE and ΔDCE are the same base DE and between the same parallel straight line BC and DE.
Area of ΔDBE= area of ΔDCE ....(3)
From (1), (2) and (3), we have
AD/DB =AE/EC
Hence proved.

Chloroplasts are found in all green plants and algae. They are the food producers of plants. These are found in the guard cells located in the leaves of the plants. They contain a high concentration of chlorophyll that traps sunlight. This cell organelle is not present in animal cells.
Chloroplast has its own DNA and can reproduce independently, from the rest of the cell. They also produce amino acids and lipids required for the production of chloroplast membrane.
Structure of Chloroplast
Chloroplasts are found in all higher plants. It is oval or biconvex, found within the mesophyll of the plant cell. The size of the chloroplast usually varies between 4-6 µm in diameter and 1-3 µm in thickness. They are double-membrane organelle with the presence of outer, inner and intermembrane space. There are two distinct regions present inside a chloroplast known as the grana and stroma.
- Grana are made up of stacks of disc-shaped structures known as thylakoids. The grana of the chloroplast consists of chlorophyll pigments and are the functional units of chloroplasts.
- Stroma is the homogenous matrix which contains grana and is similar to the cytoplasm in cells in which all the organelles are embedded. Stroma also contains various enzymes, DNA, ribosomes, and other substances. Stroma lamellae function by connecting the stacks of thylakoid sacs.

Democracy is undoubtedly better than other forms of government. We can give the following arguments in its favour:
(i) Democracy improves the quality of decision making. Democracy is based on consultation and discussion. A democratic decision always involves many persons, discussions and meetings. When a number of people put their head together, they are able to point out possible mistakes in any decision. This takes time but there is a big advantage in taking time over important decisions. This reduces the chances of rash or irresponsible decisions.
(ii) Democracy provides a method to deal with differences and conflicts. In any society people are bound to have differences of opinions and interests. These differences are particularly sharp in a country like ours which has an amazing social diversity. People belong to different regions, speak different languages, practice different religions and have different castes. They look at the world differently and have different preferences. The preference of one group can clash with those of other groups. This conflict can be solved peacefully in a democratic set-up. In democracy no one is a permanent winner, no one is a permanent loser. Different groups can live with one another peacefully.
(iii) Democracy enhances the dignity of citizens. Democracy is based on the principle of political equality, on recognising that the poorest and the least educated has the same status as the rich and the educated. People are not subjects of a ruler, they are the rulers themselves.
(iv) Democracy allows us to correct its own mistakes. Another advantage in a democracy is that if mistake are made, they cannot be hidden for long. There is a space for public discussion on these mistakes. And there is a room for correction. Either the rulers have to change their decisions, or the rules can be changed This cannot happen in a non-democratic government.
(v) Democracy is more accountable form of government. Democracy responds to the needs of the people. A non-democratic government may and can respond to the people's needs, but it all depends on the wishes of the people who rule. A democracy requires that the rulers have to attend to the needs of the people.

The sunlight that reaches the earth’s atmosphere is scattered in all directions by the gases and dust particles present in the atmosphere. The blue colour is scattered more and hence the sky appears blue. The reason for more scattering of blue colour is that the wavelength of the blue light is shorter than the other light. So blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth’s atmosphere. This the reason for the blue appearance of the sky.

c) A is true, but R is false.
A solution of slaked lime (Ca(OH)2) is used to white wash the walls. Calcium hydroxide reacts with the carbon dioxide in air to form thin layer of calcium carbonate on the walls. It gives a shiny finish to the walls.

Read the extracts given below and comment on the difference in the nature of help both the characters, of these two stories, received.
a) Suddenly I came out of the clouds and saw two straight lines of lights in front of me. It was a runway! An airport! I was safe! I turned to look for my friend in the black aeroplane but the sky was empty. [The Black Aeroplane]
b) All through the night Lencho thought only of his one hope: the help of God…The following Sunday, at daybreak he began to write a letter…It was nothing less than a letter to God...The following Sunday Lencho came a bit earlier than usual to ask if there was a letter for him…. Lencho showed not the slightest surprise on seeing the money, such was his confidence. [A Letter to God]
Answer
In both the situation they have got the help from an unknown person who did not know them but helped them.
But the first case is slightly different from the second one..
IN first case the person who helped lencho are the Postmaster and office employees that is clear but it is not known to lencho
LENCHO asked help from God but it was the help to lencho by the Postmaster on behalf of God. ALTHOUGH he got what he had demanded but he is not thankful at all, instead he alleged the post office employees as crook...
In situation when the author was trapped between the storm clouds and there was nothing but black everywhere then suddenly he saw another aeroplane coming towards him and He also saw a pilot waving at him to rescue him. He was very thankful to God and did as was guided by the another aeroplane.. Soon he reached the runway. He landed to the airport and he was safe. he started looking for the another airplane and also asked from the woman at the control centre but he was disappointed because her reply was such that there was no other aeroplane seen on the radar because it was a Stormy night.. in this case the author wanted to thank the people who helped him but in spite of his willingness he was unable to thank him but in the first case the people who helped lencho was clearly e in front of him but he did not thanked them at all

- wasn’t clear who helped him
- open to interpretation
- help is not asked for but he receives it.
- is thankful

The potential difference (voltage) across an ideal conductor is proportional to the current through it. The constant of proportionality is called the "resistance", R. 2. Material that obeys Ohm's Law is called "ohmic" or "linear" because the potential difference across it varies linearly with the current. In a series circuit, the current is the same at each resistor. ... The voltage drop (I•R) will be the same for each resistor since the current at and the resistance of each resistor is the same. Thus the electric potential difference across any one of the bulbs will be the same as that across any one of the other bulbs.

बालगोबिन भगत मंझोले कद के गोर-चिट्टे आदमी थे। उनकी उम्र साठ वर्ष से उपर थी और बाल पक गए थे। वे लम्बी ढाढ़ी नही रखते थे और कपडे बिल्कुल कम पहनते थे। कमर में लंगोटी पहनते और सिर पर कबीरपंथियों की सी कनफटी टोपी। सर्दियों में ऊपर से कम्बल ओढ़ लेते। वे गृहस्थ होते हुई भी सही मायनों में साधू थे। माथे पर रामानंदी चन्दन का टीका और गले में तुलसी की जड़ों की बेडौल माला पहने रहते। उनका एक बेटा और पतोहू थे। वे कबीर को साहब मानते थे। किसी दूसरे की चीज़ नही छूटे और न बिना वजह झगड़ा करते। उनके पास खेती बाड़ी थी तथा साफ़-सुथरा मकान था। खेत से जो भी उपज होती, उसे पहले सिर पर लादकर कबीरपंथी मठ ले जाते और प्रसाद स्वरुप जो भी मिलता उसी से गुजर बसर करते।
वे कबीर के पद का बहुत मधुर गायन करते। आषाढ़ के दिनों में जब समूचा गाँव खेतों में काम कर रहा होता तब बालगोबिन पूरा शरीर कीचड़ में लपेटे खेत में रोपनी करते हुए अपने मधुर गानों को गाते। भादो की अंधियारी में उनकी खँजरी बजती थी, जब सारा संसार सोया होता तब उनका संगीत जागता था। कार्तिक मास में उनकी प्रभातियाँ शुरू हो जातीं। वे अहले सुबह नदी-स्नान को जाते और लौटकर पोखर के ऊँचे भिंडे पर अपनी खँजरी लेकर बैठ जाते और अपना गाना शुरू कर देते। गर्मियों में अपने घर के आँगन में आसन जमा बैठते। उनकी संगीत साधना का चरमोत्कर्ष तब देखा गया जिस दिन उनका इकलौता बेटा मरा। बड़े शौक से उन्होंने अपने बेटे कि शादी करवाई थी, बहू भी बड़ी सुशील थी। उन्होंने मरे हुए बेटे को आँगन में चटाई पर लिटाकर एक सफ़ेद कपड़े से ढक रखा था तथा उसपर कुछ फूल बिखरा पड़ा था। सामने बालगोबिन ज़मीन पर आसन जमाये गीत गाये जा रहे थे और बहू को रोने के बजाये उत्सव मनाने को कह रहे थे चूँकि उनके अनुसार आत्मा परमात्मा पास चली गयी है, ये आनंद की बात है। उन्होंने बेटे की चिता को आग भी बहू से दिलवाई। जैसे ही श्राद्ध की अवधि पूरी हुई, बहू के भाई को बुलाकर उसके दूसरा विवाह करने का आदेश दिया। बहू जाना नही चाहती थी, साथ रह उनकी सेवा करना चाहती थी परन्तु बालगोबिन के आगे उनकी एक ना चली उन्होंने दलील अगर वो नही गयी तो वे घर छोड़कर चले जायेंगे।
बालगोबिन भगत की मृत्यु भी उनके अनुरूप ही हुई। वे हर वर्ष गंगा स्नान को जाते। गंगा तीस कोस दूर पड़ती थी फिर भी वे पैदल ही जाते। घर से खाकर निकलते तथा वापस आकर खाते थे, बाकी दिन उपवास पर। किन्तु अब उनका शरीर बूढ़ा हो चूका था। इस बार लौटे तो तबीयत ख़राब हो चुकी थी किन्तु वी नेम-व्रत छोड़ने वाले ना थे, वही पुरानी दिनचर्या शुरू कर दी, लोगों ने मन किया परन्तु वे टस से मस ना हुए। एक दिन अंध्या में गाना गया परन्तु भोर में किसी ने गीत नही सुना, जाकर देखा तो पता चला बालगोबिन भगत नही रहे।

At noon we know that the sun is overhead and when the sun is overhead , it has less air to travel through. We also know that scattering occurs due to dust and other suspended particles in air . So, scattering is reduced if the distance to be travelled in air is reduced.

The appendix or vermiform appendix is a muscular structure attached to the large intestine in the human body. It is a narrow tube resembling a worm and is named after the Latin word "vermiform" which means ‘worm-shaped’. The appendix extends from the lower end of the cecum, a pouch-like structure in the large intestine.

- The Kheda campaign (1918) was a success and through a village-by-village tour, Patel and his associated compelled the peasants to refuse to pay taxes until the government met their demands. Patel raised an army of volunteers who helped the villagers in this work. This revolt directed a lot of sympathy towards the farmers’ plight. The government agreed to talk with Patel and also suspended taxes for a year. Patel emerged as a hero of the people.
- After this in 1920, he was elected the president of the Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee. He remained in that position till 1945.
- When Gandhi announced the non-cooperation movement in 1920, Patel supported him and worked tirelessly organising it. It was then that he discarded his European garb and adopted Khadi. Patel was one leader who supported Gandhi when he suspended the movement in the wake of the Chauri Chaura Happened on February 5th, 1922) incident.
- Another major campaign led by Patel was the Bardoli Satyagraha in 1928. Here again, he asked farmers to refuse to pay taxes in the wake of floods and famines in the area, and a steep hike in taxes by the government. After the success of this campaign, the title ‘Sardar’ was bestowed on him by his colleagues.
- Patel was arrested during the Dandi Salt March (1930). After his release following the Gandhi-Irwin Pact, he was elected the President of the INC in its Karachi session in 1931. He was again arrested in 1932.
- He became a central figure in the Congress Party and was its chief fundraiser and organiser especially in selecting candidates for the central and provincial assemblies. He believed in instilling discipline among the party members and did not want people to be distracted from the larger goal which was independence from British rule.
- He supported the Quit India Movement and inspired people to fight by an emotional speech made on 7 August 1942. He was arrested along with all prominent national leaders and released only in June 1945.
- Partition of the country seemed inevitable and even though Patel was against it, he understood that it was needed at that time as the Congress and the Muslim League could not see eye to eye on that issue. It was also needed to stem the tide of communal hatred and violence that was seeping throughout the country. At the Congress meeting set to vote on the proposal, he said, “I fully appreciate the fears of our brothers from [the Muslim-majority areas]. Nobody likes the division of India and my heart is heavy. But the choice is between one division and many divisions. We must face facts. We cannot give way to emotionalism and sentimentality….Whether we like it or not, de facto Pakistan already exists in the Punjab and Bengal. Under the circumstances, I would prefer a de jure Pakistan, which may make the League more responsible. Freedom is coming. We have 75 to 80 percent of India, which we can make strong with our own genius. The League can develop the rest of the country.”
- Patel represented India on the Partition Council where the division of public assets between the two new nations was overseen.
- After the unimaginable horrors of the violence during partition, Patel set about organising relief work and refugee camps. He called the South Indian regiments of the Indian Army to restore order in the affected areas knowing well that the police force of Punjab and Delhi, who were too close to the tragedy, could not be relied upon.
- Patel is revered in India not only for his role as a freedom fighter but also for his role in unifying the country after independence. India was politically composed of British Indian provinces and the princely states which numbered more than 600.
- Patel is considered as the Bismarck of India with regard to his stellar contribution to the political integration of the country. When the Nawab of Junagadh acceded to Pakistan despite having an 80% Hindu population, Patel sent the army there. With a combination of military and political tactics, the princely state was merged with India. Hyderabad also, with a similar situation (Hindu majority with a Muslim ruler) followed the Junagadh way. The Indian army, on the orders of Patel, invaded Hyderabad in 1948 and secured its union with India.
- Patel was in charge of the Provincial Constitution Committee and the Advisory Committee on Fundamental Rights, Minorities and Tribal and Excluded Areas, in the Constituent Assembly of India.
- For his role in setting up the modern civil services of India, he is also referred to as the ‘patron saint’ of the civil services. He famously called the services the ‘steel frame’ of the country’s government machinery.
- Sardar Patel died in Bombay of a massive heart attack on 15 December 1950 aged 75.
- He was awarded the Bharat Ratna posthumously in 1991. His birth anniversary is observed as Rashtriya Ekta Diwas (National Unity Day) since 2014.

| Acid radicals |
| Negatively charged radicals are called acidic radicals. |
| Acid radicals are formed by removal of hydrogen ion (H+). |
| Example: H2S04 loses one H+ ion to form HSO4– ion. |
| Basic radicals |
| Positively charged radicals are called a basic radical. |
| Basic radicals are formed by the removal of hydroxide ion (OH–). |
| Example: KOH loses OH– ion and becomes K+ ion. |

The electrical resistance of a wire would be expected to be greater for a longer wire, less for a wire of larger cross sectional area, and would be expected to depend upon the material out of which the wire is made.The resistance of a wire can be expressed as R=ρ L/A,
where,
ρ - Resistivity - the factor in the resistance which takes into account the nature of the material is the resistivity
L - Length of the conductor
A - Area of cross section of the conductor.
From this relation, we observe that the length is directly proportional to the resistance and the area of cross section is inversely proportional to the resistance.
That is, if L becomes 2 L, R becomes 2 R. R′=ρ 2L/A. So, R = 2R'.
Hence, If the length of a wire is doubled, then its resistance becomes 2 times.
