“Describe some of the distinctive features of Mohenjodaro.   EXPLANATION   Some of the distinctive of Mohenjodaro are: • Planned City: Harappa was a planned urban centre. It had two parts. One part of the city was small .it was built on a higher place. The second part was comparatively large. it was built on a lower place. • The lower town: The Lower Town was also walled. Several buildings were built on platforms, which served as foundations.Once the platforms were in place, all building activity within the city was restricted to a fixed area on the platforms. So it seems that the settlement was first planned and then implemented accordingly. Other signs of planning include bricks, which, whether sun-dried or baked, were of a standardised ratio, where the length and breadth were four times and twice the height respectively. • Drainage system: One of the most distinctive features of Harappan cities was the carefully planned drainage system. roads and streets were laid out along an approximate “grid” pattern, intersecting at right angles. It seems that streets with drains were laid out first and then houses built along them. The citadel: The Citadel owes its height to the fact that buildings were constructed on mud brick platforms. It was walled, which meant that it was physically separated from the Lower Town. It is on the Citadel that we find evidence of structures that were probably used for special public purposes.It includes Warehouses and Great bath which were the two important constructions.

Q.”How do archaeologists trace socio-economic differences in Harappan society? What are the differences that they notice? EXPLANATION : Following examples can be cited to show the existence of social and economic variations in the Harappan society: (i) Study of burials is the one example. In the Harappan sites, the deads were usually laid in pits. There were differences in the way the burial pit was made – in some instances, the hollowed-out spaces were lined with bricks. But these may not be taken as a social difference. (ii) Some graves contain pottery and ornaments, have been found. Jewellery has been found in burials of both men and women. These findings can point out social and economic differences. (iii) The artefacts, which archaeologists broadly classify as utilitarian and luxuries. The first category includes objects of daily use made fairly easily out of ordinary materials such as stone or clay. These include querns, pottery, needles, flesh-rubbers (body scrubbers), etc., and are usually found distributed throughout settlements. (iv) Objects of luxuries were rare or made from costly, non-local materials or with complicated technologies. Little pots of faience were considered as precious. They were also not easy to make. These show the existence of social and economic variations in the Harappan society.

1. The perimeters of two squares are 40 cm and 32 cm. Find the perimeter of a third square whose area is equal to the difference of the areas of the two squares .A) 22 cmB) 24 cmC) 26 cmD) 28 cmAns. B We know perimeter of square = 4(side)So Side of first square = 40/4 = 10 cmSide of second square = 32/4 = 8 cm Area of third Square = 10*10 – 8*8 = 36 cm So side of third square = 6 [because area of square = side*side]Perimeter = 4*Side = 4*6 = 24 cm2. The Diagonals of two squares are in the ratio of 2:5. find the ratio of their areas.A) 4:25B) 4:15C) 3:25D) 3:15Ans. ALet the diagonals of the squares be 2x and 5x.Then ratio of their areas will be Area of square=12∗Diagonal212∗2×2 : 12∗5×2 4×2 : 25×2 = 4 : 25 Area of square = 12 ∗ Diagonal2 12 ∗ 2×2: 12 ∗ 5×2 4x 2: 25×2 = 4 : 25 Area of square= 12∗Diagonal2 12 ∗ 2×2 : 12∗ 5×2 4×2 : 25×2 = 4:25 3. A farmer wishes to start a 100 sq. m. rectangular vegetable garden. Since he has only 30 meter barbed wire, he fences three sides of the garden letting his house compound wall act as the fourth side fencing. Then find the dimension of the garden.A) 10 m * 5 mB) 15 m * 5 mC) 20 m * 5 mD) 25 m * 5 mAns. CFrom the question, 2b+l = 30=> l = 30-2b Area=100m2=l×b=100 =b(30−2b) =100b2−15b+50=0=(b−10)(b−5)=0Area=100m2=l×b=100=b(30−2b)=100b2−15b+50=0=(b−10)(b−5)=0Area=100m2=l×b=100=b(30−2b)=100b2−15b+50=0=(b−10)(b−5)=0b = 10 or b = 5when b = 10 then l = 10when b = 5 then l = 20Since the garden is rectangular so we will take value of breadth 5.So its dimensions are 20 m * 5 m 4. A towel, when bleached, was found to have lost 20% of its length and 10% of its breadth. The percentage of decrease in area is ?A) 25%B) 26%C) 27%D) 28%Ans. DLet original length = xand original width = yDecrease in area will be =xy−(80 x 100 × 90y 100)=(xy−1825xy) = 725xy Decrease = (7xy 25xy × 100) %=28% = xy−(80 x 100 × 90y 100)=(xy−1825xy)=725 xy Decrease = (7xy 25xy × 100) %=28%=xy − (80x 100 × 90y 100)=(xy−1825xy)=725 xy Decrease = (7xy25xy×100)%=28% 5. What will be the cost of gardening 1 meter boundary around a rectangular plot having perimeter of 340 meters at the rate of Rs. 10 per square meter ?A) Rs. 3430B) Rs. 3440C) Rs. 3450D) Rs. 3460 Ans. BWe know Perimeter = 2(l+b), rightSo,2(l+b) = 340As we have to make 1 meter boundary around this, so Area of boundary = ((l+2)+(b+2)-lb)= 2(l+b)+4 = 340+4 = 344 So required cost will be = 344 * 10 = 3440

The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 : 2. If a man cycling along the boundary of the park at the speed of 12 km/hr completes one round in 8 minutes, then the area of the park (in sq. m) is:A) 152600m2152600m2152600m2B) 153500m2153500m2153500m2C) 153600m2153600m2153600m2D) 153800m2153800m2153800m2Ans. C Perimeter = Distance travelled in 8 minutes,= Perimeter = 12000/60 * 8 = 1600 meter. [because Distance = Speed * Time] As per question length is 3x and width is 2xWe know perimeter of rectangle is 2(L+B)So, 2(3x+2x) = 1600 = x = 160So Length = 160*3 = 480 meterand Width = 160*2 = 320 meter Finally, Area = length * breadth= 480 * 320 = 153600 3. The percentage increase in the area of a rectangle, if each of its sides is increased by 20% is:A) 32%B) 34%C) 42%D) 44%Ans. DLet original length = x metres and original breadth = y metres.Original area =xy m2New Length =120100x=65xNew Breadth =120100y=65y=>New Area =65x∗65y=>New Area =3625xyArea Difference=3625xy−xy=1125xyIncrease%=DiffernceActual∗100=11xy25∗1xy∗100==44%Original area =xy m2New Length =120100x=65xNew Breadth =120100y=65yNew Area =65x∗65yNew Area =3625xyArea Difference=3625xy−xy=1125xyIncrease%=DiffernceActual∗100=11xy25∗1xy∗100=44% 4. The area of a rectangle is 460 square metres. If the length is 15% more than the breadth, what is the breadth of the rectangular field ?18 meter20 meter22 meter25 meterAns. B Let breadth =x metres.Then length =(115x/100)metres. =x∗115×100=460×2=(460×100/115)x2=400x = 20 = x∗115×100=460×2=(460×100/115)x2=400x = 20 = x∗115×100 = 460×2 = (460×100/115)x2 = 400x = 20 5. A rectangular field is to be fenced on three sides leaving a side of 20 feet uncovered.If the area of the field is 680 sq.ft, how many feet of fencing will be required ?A) 88 feetB) 86 feetC) 84 feetD) 82 feetAns. AWe are given with length and area, so we can find the breadth.as Length * Breadth = Area=> 20 * Breadth = 680=> Breadth = 34 feet Area to be fenced = 2B + L = 2*34 + 20 = 88 feet
