(ସେ ବର୍ଷାବିନ୍ଦୁଗୁଡ଼ିକ ବିଷୟରେ କ’ଣ କହିଥିଲା ?)

Answer:
The rain changed into a hailstorm and along with the rain very large hailstones began to fall.

Answer:
Lencho wrote a letter to God.

Question 8.
Who read the letter?
(ଚିଠିଟିକୁ କିଏ ପଢ଼ିଲା ?)
Answer:
The postman and then the postmaster read the letter.

Question 9.
What did the postmaster do?
(ପୋଷ୍ଟମାଷ୍ଟର କ’ଣ କଲେ ?)
Answer:
The postmaster thought of writing a letter in order not to shake Lencho’s faith in God. But after opening the letter he knew that Lencho asked for hundred pesos from God. So he collected some money from his employees and several friends and contributed a part of his salary. Then he sent the money in an envelope addressed to Lencho. He was able to send only a little more than half.

Question 10.
Was Lencho surprised to find a letter for him with money in it?
(ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ ତା’ ପାଇଁ ଟଙ୍କା ଥ‌ିବା ଚିଠିଟିଏ ଦେଖୁ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ଯ୍ୟ ହେଲା କି ?)
Answer:
No, Lencho was not surprised to find a letter for him with money in it.

(ଚିଠିଟି ପାଇବା ପରେ ଲେଞ୍ଜୋର ପ୍ରତିକ୍ରିୟା କ’ଣ ଥିଲା ?)
Answer:
After getting the letter Lencho did not show the slightest surprise upon seeing the money in it. But he became angry while he counted the money because he got seventy pesos only whereas he asked for 100 pesos. He knew it well that neither God could have made a mistake nor could have denied what he had asked for. He began to suspect the integrity of the post office employees. In his next letter, he requested God to send him the rest money not through mail as the post office employees were a bunch of crooks.

F. Let’s Read Between The Lines:

(a)
(i) Why did Lencho keep on looking at the sky throughout the morning?
(ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ କାହିଁକି ସାରା ସକାଳ ଆକାଶକୁ ଚାହିଁ ରହିଥିଲା ?)
Answer:
There was no rain for some days and the earth needed a downpour or at least a shower for a good harvest. So Lencho kept on looking towards the northeast sky and waited for rain throughout the morning and waited for rain.

(ii) Why was the field white after the storm?
(ଝଡ଼ ପରେ କ୍ଷେତ କାହିଁକି ଧଳା ହୋଇଗଲା ?)
Answer:
Due to a hailstorm for an hour, large hailstones fell on the field along with rain. So after the storm, the field was white as if it was covered with salt.

(iii) Why did Lencho say the raindrops were like ‘new coins’?
(ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ କାହିଁକି ବର୍ଷାବିନ୍ଦୁଗୁଡ଼ିକ ନୂଆ ମୁଦ୍ରା ଭଳି ବୋଲି କହିଥିଲା ?)
Answer:
Just as Lencho predicted big raindrops began to fall from the sky. Seeing it Lencho became extremely happy having a hope of a good harvest. So he. said the raindrops were as valuable as new silver coins.

(iv) Why did Lencho prefer locusts to the storm?
(ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ କାହିଁକି ଝଡ଼ ଅପେକ୍ଷା ପଙ୍ଗପାଳଙ୍କୁ ପସନ୍ଦ କରିଥିଲା ?)
Answer:
The crops of Lencho were completely destroyed by hailstorms. He thought that his family would go without food that year. He knew that a plague of locusts would have left more than that. The hail had left nothing. So he preferred locusts to the storm.

(v) Did Lencho try to find out who had sent the money to him? Why/Why not?
(କିଏ ତା’ ପାଖକୁ ଟଙ୍କା ପଠାଇଥିଲା ଜାଣିବାକୁ ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ ଚେଷ୍ଟ କଲା କି ? କାହିଁକି କାହିଁକି ନୁହେଁ ?)
Answer:
Lencho didn’t try to find out who had sent the money to him. It was because he had firm faith in God and thought that God had listened to his prayer and had sent him the money.

(vi) What would be the reaction of the post office employees when they read the second letter.
Answer:
When the post office employees read the second letter, the postmaster showed his curiosity to read the letter as what Lencho had written.

(b) Read the passage from the text and answer the questions that follow :
(ପାଠ୍ୟବିଷୟରୁ ଅନୁଚ୍ଛେଦଟିକୁ ପଢ଼ ଓ ତଳେ ଥ‌ିବା ପ୍ରଶ୍ନଗୁଡ଼ିକର ଉତ୍ତର ଦିଅ ।)
All through the night _______________________ act of charity.
(Five paragraphs)

(i) Who does Lencho have complete faith in?
(ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ କାହା ଉପରେ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ବିଶ୍ଵାସ ରଖିଛି ? )
Answer:
Lencho has complete faith in God.

(ii) ‘Lencho was an ox of a man’ – What does the line mean?
(‘ଲେ ବଳଦ ଭଳି ମଣିଷଟିଏ ଥିଲା’ – ଏହି ଧାଡ଼ିଟି କ’ଣ ବୁଝାଉଛି ? )
Answer:
The line ‘Lencho was an ox of a man’ means though Lencho was a man, he had to work hard in the field like an ox. The writer uses such a metaphor.

(iii) What was the postmaster like?
(ପୋଷ୍ଟମାଷ୍ଟର କିଭଳି ଥିଲେ ?)
Answer:
The postmaster was a fat man and had a friendly and pleasant personality. He was very kind and helpful also. As he was a charitable person he came forward to help Lencho by collecting and contributing money from his salary.

(iv) Why did the postmaster send money to Lencho?
(ପୋଷ୍ଟମାଷ୍ଟର ଲେଞ୍ଚୋ ପାଖକୁ କାହିଁକି ଟଙ୍କା ପଠାଇଲେ ?)
Answer:
When the postmaster saw the letter addressed to God, he was greatly surprised to think about the writer’s firm faith in God. In order not to shake the writer’s faith in God, he decided to answer the letter. He did not want Lencho to face the unfortunate results of his crop loss. He managed to send him seventy pesos to let him overcome his loss of crops.

(v) What does the expression ‘an act of charity’ mean?
(‘ଏକ ବଦାନ୍ୟତାପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ’ ଶବ୍ଦପୁଞ୍ଜର ଅର୍ଥ କ’ଣ ?)
Answer:
The expression ‘an act of charity’ means an act of showing kindness and generosity towards people who are in distress.

G. Let’s Learn Some New Words:

(i) Look at the following sentence from the story.
(ଗଳ୍ପର ନିମ୍ନଲିଖତ ବାକ୍ୟଟିକୁ ଦେଖ ।)
But suddenly a strong wind began to blow and along with the rain very large hailstones began to fall.

What are hailstones?
(କୁଆପଥର କ’ଣ ?)
‘Hailstones’ are small balls of ice that fall like rain.(‘କୁଆପଥର’ ହେଉଛି ବରଫର ଛୋଟ ବରଫପେଣ୍ଡୁ ଯାହା ବର୍ଷାପରି ପଡ଼େ ।)
What is a hailstorm?
(କୁଆପଥର ଝଡ଼ କ’ଣ ?)
A storm in which hailstones fall is a ‘hailstorm’. We know that a storm is bad weather with strong winds, rain, thunder and lightning. (ଯେଉଁ ଝଡ଼ରେ କୁଆପଥର ପଡ଼େ ତାହା ହେଉଛି ‘କୁଆପଥର ଝଡ଼’ । ଆମେ ଜାଣୁ ଯେ ଝଡ଼ ହେଉଛି ଏକ ଖରାପ ପାଗ ଯେଉଁଥରେ ପ୍ରବଳ ପବନ ଓ ବର୍ଷା ସାଙ୍ଗକୁ ଘଡ଼ଘଡ଼ି ଓ ବିଜୁଳି ମାରୁଥାଏ ।)

There are different names in different parts of the world for storms, depending on their nature. (ଝଡ଼ ପାଇଁ ପୃଥ‌ିବୀର ବିଭିନ୍ନ ସ୍ଥାନରେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରକୃତି ଅନୁସାରେ ଭିନ୍ନ ଭିନ୍ନ ନାମ ରହିଛି ।). Try to match the names in the box with their descriptions below, and fill in the blanks. (ନିମ୍ନସ୍ଥ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା ସହ ମେଳ ଖାଉଥ‌ିବା ନାଁଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ କୋଠରି ଭିତରୁ ବାଛିବାକୁ ଚେଷ୍ଟା କର ଏବଂ ଶୂନ୍ୟସ୍ଥାନ ପୂରଣ କର ।)

Answers:
1. cyclone
2. gale
3. typhoon
4. hurricane

ii) Mark how the word ‘hope’ is used in these sentences from the story.
(ଗଳ୍ପର ଏହି ବାକ୍ୟଗୁଡ଼ିକରେ ‘hope’ ଶବ୍ଦଟି କିପରି ବ୍ୟବହୃତ ହୋଇଛି ଲକ୍ଷ୍ୟ କର ।)

(a) I hope it (the hailstorm) passes quickly. (ମୁଁ ଆଶା କରୁଛି ଏହା (କୁଆପଥର) ଶୀଘ୍ର ଅତିକ୍ରମ କରିବ |)
(b) There was a single hope : help from God. (ଏକମାତ୍ର ଆଶା ଥିଲା – ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କଠାରୁ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ)

In sentence ‘a’, hope is used as a verb which means you wish for something to happen. (ବାକ୍ୟ ‘a’ରେ ‘hope’ ଏକ verb(କ୍ରିୟା)ରୂପେ ବ୍ୟବହୃତ ହୋଇଛି ଯାହାର ଅର୍ଥ ତୁମେ କିଛି ଘଟିବ ବୋଲି ଆଶା କରୁଛ ।)
In sentence ‘b’ it is a noun meaning a chance for something to happen. (ବାକ୍ୟ ‘b’ରେ ଏହା ଏକ ବିଶେଷ୍ୟ ଅଟେ ଯାହାର ଅର୍ଥ କିଛି ଘଟିବାର ଏକ ସମ୍ଭାବନାକୁ ବୁଝାଉଛି ।)

Difference between Noun and Verb
NOUN VERB
(i) a naming word (ନାମବାଚକ ଶବ୍ଦ) (i) an action word (କାର୍ଯ୍ୟବାଚକ ଶବ୍ଦ)
(ii) used as a subject or object (କର୍ତ୍ତା ବା କର୍ମରୂପେ ବ୍ୟବହୃତ) (ii) used as tense (କାଳରୂପେ ବ୍ୟବହୃତ)
Example:
The book (ବହିଟି) is our best friend. Did you book for Angul ?(ବୁକ୍ କରିଛନ୍ତି କି?)
They drink water (ଜଳ) . They water (ସେମାନେ ଜଳ ଦିଅନ୍ତି |) plants.
I write on a paper (କାଗଜ) . We paper (ଆମେ କାଗଜ କାନ୍ଥ) walls.
This is my little finger (ଆଙ୍ଗୁଠି ). Don’t finger (ଆଙ୍ଗୁଠି କରନ୍ତୁ) the mobile
Where is the bottle (ବୋତଲ) ? Mother bottled the pickle. (ବୋତଲରେ ପୂରାଇ ରଖୁ)

Match the sentences in Column A with the meanings of ‘hope’ in Column B.
(Aସ୍ତମ୍ଭରେ ଥ‌ିବା ବାକ୍ୟଗୁଡ଼ିକ ସହିତ Bସ୍ତମ୍ଭରେ ଥ‌ିବା ‘hope’ର ଅର୍ଥଗୁଡ଼ିକ ସହିତ ମିଳାଅ ।)

Daughter: Good night! Mummy.

I. Lets Learn Language:

(i) Relative Clauses (Adjective Clause) (ବିଶେଷଣ ଖଣ୍ଡବାକ୍ୟ):
Look at the following sentence : (ନିମ୍ନଲିଖ୍ ବାକ୍ୟଟିକୁ ଦେଖ )

Throughout the morning Lencho – who knew his fields intimately (ଯିଏ ନିଜ କ୍ଷେତଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଭଲ ଭାବରେ ଜାଣିଥିଲା) looked at the sky.
This sentence may also be written as: (ଏହି ବାକ୍ୟଟିକୁ ଏପରି ମଧ୍ୟ ଲେଖାଯାଇପାରେ )
All morning Lencho, who knew his fields intimately, looked at the sky.
The underlined parts of the sentences provide us with more information about Lencho and the woman. We call it a Relative Clause. Mark that they begin with a relative pronoun, who. Other common relative pronouns are whom, which, that, and whose.
(ରେଖାଙ୍କିତ ଅଂଶଟି ଆମକୁ ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ ବିଷୟରେ ଅଧ‌ିକ ସୂଚନା ପ୍ରଦାନ କରୁଛି । ଏହାକୁ ଆମେ “Relative clause” (ବିଶେଷଣ ଉପବାକ୍ୟ) କହୁ । ଏହା ଏକ ସର୍ବନାମ whoରେ ଆରମ୍ଭ ହୋଇଥିବା ଲକ୍ଷ୍ୟ କର । who, whom, which, that, whose ଇତ୍ୟାଦି ଅନ୍ୟାନ୍ୟ Relative Pronoun ଅଟନ୍ତି ।)

The relative clause in the above sentence is called a non-defining relative clause because we already know the identity of the person described. We don’t need the information in the relative clause to pick the person out of a larger set. (ଉପରିଲିଖ୍ ବାକ୍ୟରେ ଥ‌ିବା Relative clauseକୁ non-defining Relative clause କୁହାଯାଏ କାରଣ ଆମେ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା କରାଯାଇଥିବା ଲୋକଟିର ପରିଚୟ ବିଷୟରେ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ଜାଣିସାରିଛୁ । ଏକ ବୃହତ୍ ପରିସରରୁ ସେ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତିକୁ ଜାଣିବା ପାଇଁ relative clauseରେ ଥ‌ିବା ସୂଚନା ଆମର ଆବଶ୍ୟକ ନାହିଁ ।)

A.NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSE
Non-defining Relative Clause usually has a comma preceding and following it. Some writers use a dash (-) instead (as in the story). If the relative clause comes at the end, we just put a full stop. Non-defining Relative clause 1 666 comma (,) ବିରାମ ଚିହ୍ନଟି ରହେ । କିଛି ଲେଖକ comma ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତେ dash (–) ଚିହ୍ନ ବ୍ୟବହାର କରିଥା’ନ୍ତି, ଯେପରିକି ଉକ୍ତ ଗଳ୍ପଟିରେ ଲେଖକ ବ୍ୟବହାର କରିଛନ୍ତି । ଯଦି Relative clauseଟି ଶେଷରେ ରହେ ତେବେ ଆମେ ଏକ full stop (ପୂର୍ଷଚ୍ଛେଦ) ଦେଇଥାଉ ।)

A Non-defining Relative clause does not identify its antecedent (noun phrase used before the relative pronoun). (ଯଥା – whose, whom, what, when ଇତ୍ୟାଦିର ଠିକ୍ ପୂର୍ବରୁ 4 noun phrase antecedentକୁ ଚିହ୍ନଟ କରେ ନାହିଁ ।)
It (NDRC) only gives extra or additional information about its antecedent. (NDRC କେବଳ ନିଜର antecedent ବିଷୟରେ ଅତିରିକ୍ତ ସୂଚନା ଦେଇଥାଏ ।)

A clause (ଏକ ଧାରା |) is either a simple sentence or a part of a bigger sentence having subject and predicate. (ଗୋଟିଏ ଖଣ୍ଡବାକ୍ୟ ହୁଏତ ଗୋଟିଏ ସରଳବାକ୍ୟ ବା ଏକ ବୃହତ୍ ବାକ୍ୟର ଏକ ଅଂଶ)

Join the pairs of sentences given below using a relative pronoun.(ନିମ୍ନରେ ପ୍ରଦତ୍ତ ବାକ୍ୟ ଯୁଗ୍ମକୁ Relative pronoun ବ୍ୟବହାର କରି ସଂଯୋଗ କର ।)

My mother is going to host a T.V. show on cooking.
She cooks very well.
Our institution is highly popular.
It works for public welfare.
Satish scored a goal at the last minute.
He was fortunate.
Mother Teresa is revered as a saint.
She served mankind.
I often go to Mumbai.
Mumbai is the commercial capital of India.
These sportspersons are going to meet the President.
Their performance has been excellent.

Answer:

My mother, who cooks very well, is going to host ( ଉପସ୍ଥାପନ କରିବେ ) a T.V. show on cooking.
Our institution, which works for public welfare (ଯାହା ଜନ କଲ୍ୟାଣ ପାଇଁ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ କରେ |), is highly popular.
Satish, who was fortunate (ଭାଗ୍ୟବାନ ), scored a goal in the last minute.
Mother Teresa, who served mankind (ମାନବଜାତିର ସେବା କରିଥିଲେ), is revered as a saint.
I often go to Mumbai, which is the commercial (ବ୍ୟବସାୟିକ )capital of India.
These sports-persons, whose performance has been excellent (କାର୍ଯ୍ୟଦକ୍ଷତା), are going to meet the President.

Sometimes the relative pronoun in a relative clause remains ‘hidden’. For example, look at the first sentence of the story.(ବେଳେବେଳେ Relative clauseରେ Relative pronoun ଲୁକ୍‌କାୟିତ (hidden) ରହେ । ଉଦାହରଣସ୍ୱରୂପ, ଗଳ୍ପର ପ୍ରଥମ ବାକ୍ୟଟିକୁ ଦେଖ ।)

a) The house — the only one in the entire valley — sat on the Crest of a low hill.
We can rewrite the sentence as (without any change in the meaning)
(ଏହି ବାକ୍ୟର କୌଣସି ଅର୍ଥ ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ ନ କରି ଆମେ ଏପରି ଲେଖିପାରିବା )
The house—which was the only one in the entire valley—sat on the crest of a low hill.
In the original sentence of the text (a) the relative pronoun ‘which’ and the verb ‘was’ are not present (hidden). ପାଠ୍ୟରେ ଥ‌ିବା ମୂଳବାକ୍ୟ (a)66 Relative pronoun ‘which’ କ୍ରିୟା ‘was’ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ନାହିଁ (ଲୁକ୍‌କାୟିତ ଅଛି) ।)

(ii) Using negatives (ନାସ୍ତିବାଚକ) for emphasis (ଗୁରୁତ୍ଵ ପ୍ରଦାନ) :
We know that sentences with words such as ‘no’, ‘not’, or ‘nothing’ show the absence of something, or contradict something. (ଆମେ ଜାଣୁ ଯେ ‘no’, ‘not’ ବା ‘nothing’ ଭଳି ଶବ୍ଦଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଥ‌ିବା ବାକ୍ୟଗୁଡ଼ିକ କୌଣସି ଜିନିଷର ଅନୁପସ୍ଥିତି ବା ବିରୋଧ କରୁଥ‌ିବା ବିଷୟରେ ସୂଚାଏ ।)
For example — (From the text) (ପାଠ୍ୟବିଷୟରୁ ଉଦାହରଣସ୍ୱରୂପ )

This year we will have no corn. (The crops have failed.) (ଫସଲ ହେବ ନାହିଁ)
(b) The hail has left nothing. (Absence of a crop) (ଶସ୍ୟ ନ ଥ‌ିବା ଅର୍ଥରେ)
(c) These aren’t raindrops falling from the sky, they are new coins.
(Contradicts the common idea of what the drops of water falling from the sky are.) (ଆକାଶକୁ ସାଧାରଣତଃ ବର୍ଷାବିନ୍ଦୁ ପଡ଼ିବାର ବିପରୀତ ଅର୍ଥରେ )
But sometimes negative words are used to emphasize an idea. Look at the sentences from story :
(କିନ୍ତୁ ବେଳେବେଳେ ନାସ୍ତିସୂଚକ ଶବ୍ଦସମୂହ କୌଣସି ଧାରଣାକୁ ଗୁରୁତ୍ୱ ଦେବାକୁ ବ୍ୟବହୃତ ହୋଇଥାଏ । ଗଳ୍ପର ଏହି ବାକ୍ୟଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଦେଖ )
(d) Lencho …. had donc nothing else but see the sky towards the north-east. (He had done only this.) (ସେ କେବଳ ଏହା କରିଥିଲା)
(e) The man went out for no other reason than to have the pleasure of feeling the rain on his body. (He had only this reason.) (ତା’ ପାଖରେ କେବଳ ଏହି କାରଣ ଥିଲା)
(f) Lencho showed not the slightest suprise on seeing the money. (He showed no surprise at all.) (ସେ ଆଦୌ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ଯ୍ୟର ଭାବନା ଦେଖାଇଲା ନାହିଁ )

Now look back at the example ‘c’. Mark that the contradiction in fact serves to emphasize the value or usefulness of the rain to the farmer.
(ଏବେ ଉଦାହରଣ ‘c’କୁ ଦେଖ । ଲକ୍ଷ୍ୟକର ଯେ ତଥ୍ୟର ବିରୁଦ୍ଧତା କୃଷକ ନିମନ୍ତେ ବର୍ଷାର ଆବଶ୍ୟକତା ଉପରେ ଗୁରୁତ୍ଵ ଦେବାରେ ସହାୟକ ହୋଇଛି ।)
Find sentences in the story with negative words, which express the following ideas emphatically : (ନାସ୍ତିସୂଚକ ଶବ୍ଦଥ‌ିବା ବାକ୍ୟଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଗଳ୍ପରୁ ବାଛ ଯାହାକି ନିମ୍ନୋକ୍ତ ଧାରଣାକୁ ଦୃଢ଼ଭାବେ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରୁଥ‌ିବ ।)

(1) The trees lost all their Leaves.
(2) The letter was addressed to God himself.
(3) The postman saw this address for the first time in his life.
Answer:
(1) Not a leaf (ପତ୍ର) remained on the trees.
(2) It was nothing less than a letter to God.
(3) Never in his career as a postman had he known that address.

Question 1.
Who was Lencho? What was he like?
Answer:
Lencho was a farmer who lived with his family in a solitary house on the top of a low hill. He was very poor and innocent. He was very hardworking. He knew his fields well and worked there like an animal. No doubt he was literate and he was able to read and write. Besides he had firm faith in God.

Answer:
Lencho was a poor farmer who knew his com fields closely. He could see his fields of ripe com full of flowers that always promised a good harvest.

As a result, the com was totally destroyed.

Question 4.
What did Lencho predict? How was it materialized?

Once Lencho felt the necessity of a shower of rain for his com field in order to have a good harvest. So one morning he kept on looking at the sky towards the northeast anticipating a downpour or a shower. He was sure about it in the afternoon and informed his wife all about it.

The hail rained in the valley for an hour which snatched away all his happiness.

Why did Lencho prefer locusts to the storm?
Answer:
Locusts are a kind of insects that eat crops and vegetables. They fly in large numbers and eat up some crops and then leave the fields.

Question 13.
What did Lencho write to God in his last letter?
Answer:
In his last letter Lencho wrote to God that of the money that he asked for, only seventy pesos reached him. He requested God to send him the rest amount since he needed it very much. He also asked Him to send it to him not through the mail as the post office employees were a bunch of crooks.

What was Lencho’s reaction when he received the letter from the post office?
(Or)
What was Lencho’s reaction to the reply to his letter?
Answer:
Lencho’s expectation of getting a reply from God came true when he received the letter from the postman. He was not at all surprised to see it as he had firm faith in God. He confidently opened it and counted the money. Soon he got angry as it was less than a hundred pesos. He never suspected God rather he suspected the integrity of the employees of the post office.

Question 15.
What would have been the reaction of the postal employees if they had read Lencho’s second letter?
Answer:
Lencho’s second letter to God contained a statement of his dissatisfaction with the postal employees. The second letter written by Lencho was the accusation of cheating on the money from the parcel by them. If they had read the second letter sent by Lencho, they would have strongly blamed him and would have considered him ungrateful.

Question 16.
Why did the postmaster send money to Lencho?
Answer:
The postmaster was an amiable person, who praised Lencho for his deep faith in God. He decided to answer the letter. He went through the letter and found that his family would go hungry that year and needed a hundred pesos in order to sow his fields again. When he knew that it needed not merely goodwill, but financial help, he gave a part of his salary and collected money from several of his employees and some more money from his friends as an act of charity.

Question 17.
Why did Lencho’s field look white after the storm?
Answer:
Suddenly a strong wind began to blow along with a heavy shower of rain. Soon very large hailstones began falling from the sky. The rain continued for an hour. Unfortunately, the strong wind turned into a hailstorm. The hailstones rained for an hour and fell on Lencho’s house, the garden, the hillside, the corn field, and the entire valley. So his cornfield became full of hailstones and looked white as if it was covered with salt.

Question 18.
Why did Lencho call the post office employees a bunch of crooks’?
Answer:
Lencho was very sure that God could neither make a mistake nor deny him what he had asked for. His confidence in God was so deep that he expected to get a hundred pesos positively. When he received the letter from God, he eagerly counted the money. He found that there were only seventy pesos in the envelope. He suspected that the post office employees were dishonest persons, who must have taken the remaining part of the money. For this reason, he called the post office employees a bunch of crooks.

Question 19.
How does the writer describe two kinds of conflicts in the story ‘A Letter to God’?
Answer:
There are two kinds of conflict described in the story. Firstly Lencho’s com field was destroyed by a hailstorm and thereby Lencho became helpless. It is the conflict between Nature and man. Even though the postmaster and other employees collected money and managed to send seventy pesos to Lencho, as an act of kindness, Lencho blamed them for taking away a part of his money. This statement reflects that Lencho didn’t have faith in man. So it is the conflict between man and man.

A letter to God Summary in English

Lead-In:
It is believed that faith can move mountains. People live in faith. Particularly people have faith in God. People endure misfortunes because of their faith for the commencement of a better time. Faith keeps us alive and makes us optimistic. Here, in the present context, Lencho is a farmer who has firm faith in God. He writes a letter to God during his distress and asks for some financial assistance. Though it doesn’t reach its destination, still the poor farmer gets a part of his request. He couldn’t disbelieve it.

Paragraph-wise Explanation:
Para: The house-the only one in the entire valley – sat on the crest of a low hill. From this height, one would see the river and the field of ripe corn dotted with the flowers that always promised a good harvest. The only thing the earth needed was a downpour or at least a shower. Throughout the morning Lencho – who knew his fields intimately- had done nothing else but see the sky towards the northeast.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ସମଗ୍ର ଉପତ୍ୟକାରେ ଥ‌ିବା ଏକମାତ୍ର ଘରଟି ଗୋଟିଏ ନିମ୍ନ ପାହାଡ଼ର ଉପରିଭାଗରେ ଥିଲା । ଏହି ଉଚ୍ଚତାରୁ ଯେ କେହି ନଦୀ ଏବଂ ବିସ୍ତୀର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଅଞ୍ଚଳ ପରିବ୍ୟାପ୍ତ ଫୁଲ ଉଡ଼ାଉଥ‌ିବା ପାଚିଲା ଶସ୍ୟକ୍ଷେତ୍ର ଦେଖପାରିବ ଯାହାକି ସବୁବେଳେ ଭଲ ଫସଲ ଅମଳ ଦେବାର ଆଶା ସଞ୍ଚାର ଅସରାଏ କେବଳ ପୃଥ‌ିବୀ ମୂଷଳ ଧାରାରେ ବୃଷ୍ଟି କିମ୍ବା ଅତି ଭାବରେ ଜାଣିଥୁଲା ବର୍ଷା ଦରକାର କରୁଥିଲା । ଲେଞ୍ଚେ ଯିଏକି ତା’ର କ୍ଷେତକୁ ଭଲ କମ୍‌ରେ କରାଇଥାଏ । ସାରା ସକାଳ କେବଳ ଉତ୍ତର-ପୂର୍ବ ଆକାଶକୁ ଚାହିଁବା ବ୍ୟତୀତ ଅନ୍ୟ କିଛି ହିଁ କରି ନଥିଲା ।

Para: “Now we’re really going to get some water, woman. ” The woman who was preparing supper, replied, “Yes, God willing “. The older boys were working in the field, while the smaller ones were playing near the house until the woman called to them all, “Come for dinner”. It was during the meal that, just as Lencho had predicted, big drops of rain began to fall. In the northeast, huge mountains of clouds could be seen approaching. The air was fresh and sweet. The man went out for no other reason than to have the pleasure of feeling the rain on his body, and when he returned he exclaimed, “These aren’t raindrops falling from the sky, they are new coins. The big drops are ten cent pieces and the little ones are fives.”
ଅନୁବାଦ : ‘‘ହେ ନାରୀ, ଏବେ ବାସ୍ତବରେ ଆମେ କିଛି ପାଣି ପାଇବାକୁ ଯାଉଛେ !’’ ଯେଉଁ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଲୋକଟି ସନ୍ଧ୍ୟାକାଳୀନ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରୁଥିଲେ ସେ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ‘ହଁ, ଈଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ଇଚ୍ଛା ।’’ ବୟସ୍କ ବାଳକମାନେ କ୍ଷେତ୍ରରେ କାମ କରୁଥିଲେ, ଯେତେବେଳେ କି ସାନ ସାନ ପିଲାମାନେ ଘର ପାଖରେ ଖେଳୁଥିଲେ । ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଲୋକଟି ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ‘ଖାଇବ ଆସ’ ବୋଲି ଡାକିଲେ । ଠିକ୍ ଯେପରି ଲେ ଭବିଷ୍ୟବାଣୀ କରିଥିଲା, ଖାଇବା ଚାଲିଥିବା ସମୟରେ ସେହିପରି ବଡ଼ ବଡ଼ ବର୍ଷା ବିନ୍ଦୁମାନ ପଢ଼ିବା ଆରମ୍ଭ କରିଦେଲା । ଉତ୍ତର-ପୂର୍ବାକାଶରେ ବିରାଟ ପର୍ବତ ଆକାରର ବାଦଲ ଖଣ୍ଡମାନ ମାଡ଼ି ଆସୁଥିବାର ଦେଖାଯାଉଥିଲା । ପବନ ଖୁବ୍ ସତେଜ ଓ ଆନନ୍ଦଦାୟକ ଥିଲା । ଲୋକଟି ଅନ୍ୟ କୌଣସି କାରଣ ପାଇଁ ନୁହେଁ, କେବଳ ତା’ ଶରୀରରେ ବର୍ଷା ସ୍ପର୍ଶର ଆନନ୍ଦ ଉପଭୋଗ କରିବାକୁ ବାହାରକୁ ଚାଲିଗଲା ଏବଂ ଫେରିବା ସମୟରେ ଆବେଗରେ କହି ପକାଇଲା, ‘‘ଆକାଶରୁ ଝରି ପଡୁଥ‌ିବା ଏଗୁଡ଼ିକ ବର୍ଷାବିନ୍ଦୁ ନୁହେଁ, ସେଗୁଡ଼ିକ ନୂତନ ମୁଦ୍ରା । ବଡ଼ ବଡ଼ ବର୍ଷାବିନ୍ଦୁଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଦଶ ସେଣ୍ଟ୍ ମୁଦ୍ରା (ଆମେରିକୀୟ ମୁଦ୍ରା) ଏବଂ ଛୋଟ ବର୍ଷାବିନ୍ଦୁଗୁଡ଼ିକ ପାଞ୍ଚ ସେଣ୍ଟ୍ ମୁଦ୍ରା ସଦୃଶ ।’’

Para: With a satisfied expression he regarded the field of ripe corn with its flower, draped in a curtain of rain. But suddenly a strong wind began to blow and along with the rain very large hailstones began to fall. These truly did resemble new silver coins. The boys, exposing themselves to the rain, ran out to collect the frozen pearls.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ସନ୍ତୋଷଜନକ ଅଭିବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ସହ ସେ ପାଚିଲା ଶସ୍ୟକ୍ଷେତ ତା’ ଫୁଲ ସହ ବର୍ଷାରୂପକ ପରଦାରେ ଆବୃତ ହୋଇଯାଇଛି ବୋଲି ଲେଞ୍ଝା ଭାବୁଥିଲା । କିନ୍ତୁ ହଠାତ୍ ପ୍ରବଳ ବେଗରେ ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ ପବନ ବହିବାକୁ ଆରମ୍ଭ କଲା ଏବଂ ବର୍ଷା ସହିତ ବଡ଼ ବଡ଼ କୁଆପଥର ଖଣ୍ଡସବୁ ପଡ଼ିବା ଆରମ୍ଭ ହେଲା । ବାସ୍ତବରେ କୁଆପଥରଗୁଡ଼ିକ ନୂଆ ରୁପା ମୁଦ୍ରାଭଳି ଦେଖାଯାଉଥିଲା । ବର୍ଷାରେ ଭିଜିଭିଜି ପିଲାମାନେ ବରଫ ମୁକ୍ତାଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ସଂଗ୍ରହ କରିବାପାଇଁ ବାହାରକୁ ଦୌଡ଼ିଲେ ।

Para: “It’s really getting bad now “, exclaimed the man, “I hope it passes quickly. ” It did not pass quickly. For an hour the hail rained on the house, the garden, the hillside, the cornfield, on the whole valley. The field was white as if covered with salt.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ଲୋକଟି ବିସ୍ମୟର ସହ କହିଲା, ‘ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ପ୍ରକୃତରେ କିଛି ଖରାପ ଘଟିବାକୁ ଯାଉଛି ଏବଂ ମୁଁ ଆଶା କରୁଛି ଏହା ଖୁବ୍ ଶୀଘ୍ର ଚାଲିଯିବ ।’’ କିନ୍ତୁ ଏହା ଶୀଘ୍ର ଅତିକ୍ରମ କଲା ନାହିଁ । ଦୀର୍ଘ ଏକଘଣ୍ଟା ଧରି ଘର ଉପରେ, ବଗିଚାରେ, ପାହାଡ଼ କଡ଼ରେ, ଶସ୍ୟକ୍ଷେତରେ ତଥା ସମଗ୍ର ଉପତ୍ୟକାରେ କୁଆପଥର ବୃଷ୍ଟି ହେଲା । ଶସ୍ୟକ୍ଷେତଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଲୁଣଦ୍ୱାରା ଆବୃତ ହେବାଭଳି ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଧଳା ଦେଖାଯାଉଥିଲା ।

Para: Not a leaf remained on the trees. The corn was totally destroyed. The flowers were gone from the plants. Lencho’s soul was filled with sadness. When the storm had passed, he stood in the middle of the field and said to his sons, “A plague of locusts would have left more than this. The hail has left nothing, this year we will have no corn.”
ଅନୁବାଦ : ଗଛଗୁଡ଼ିକରେ ପତ୍ରଟିଏ ମଧ୍ଯ ରହିଲା ନାହିଁ । ଶସ୍ୟଗୁଡ଼ିକ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ନଷ୍ଟ ହୋଇଗଲା । ଶସ୍ୟଗଛଗୁଡ଼ିକରୁ ଫୁଲସବୁ ଝଡ଼ି ପଡ଼ିଲା । ଲେଞ୍ଚୋର ଆତ୍ମା ଦୁଃଖରେ ଭରିଗଲା । ଯେତେବେଳେ ଝଡ଼ ଚାଲିଗଲା, ସେ କ୍ଷେତ ମଝିରେ ଛିଡ଼ା ହୋଇ ତା’ର ପୁଅମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲା, ‘‘ପଙ୍ଗପାଳ ଉପଦ୍ରବ କରିଥିଲେ ହୁଏତ ଏହାଠାରୁ ଅଧିକ ଛାଡ଼ି ଦେଇଥା’ନ୍ତେ । କୁଆପଥର ବୃଷ୍ଟି କିଛି ଛାଡ଼ିଯାଇ ନାହିଁ । ଏବର୍ଷ ଆମେ ଆଦୌ ଶସ୍ୟ ପାଇବା ନାହିଁ ।

Para: That night was a sorrowful one.
“All our work, for nothing. ”
“There’s no one who can help us. ”
“We’ll all go hungry this year.”
But in the hearts of all who lived in that solitary house in the middle of the valley, there was a single hope: help from God.
“Don’t be so upset, even though this seems like a total loss. Remember, no one dies of hunger.”
That’s what they say : no one dies of hunger.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ସେହି ରାତିଟି ଏକ ଦୁଃଖଦ ରାତି ଥିଲା । ‘‘ଆମର ସମସ୍ତ ଶ୍ରମ ନିରର୍ଥକ ହେଲା ।’’ ‘‘ଆମକୁ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କରିପାରିବା ଭଳି କେହି ନାହାନ୍ତି ।’’ ‘‘ଏବର୍ଷ ଆମେ ଭୋକିଲା ରହିବା ।’’ମାତ୍ର ଉପତ୍ୟକାର ମଧ୍ୟଭାଗସ୍ଥିତ ସେହି ନିଃସଙ୍ଗ ଘରଟିରେ ବାସ କରୁଥିବା ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ହୃଦୟରେ ଗୋଟିଏ ମାତ୍ର
ଆଶା ଥିଲା ; ଭଗବାନ୍‌ଙ୍କଠାରୁ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତି ।“‘ବିଚଳିତ ହୁଅ ନାହିଁ, ଯଦିଓ ଏହା ଏକ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କ୍ଷତି ଭଳି ଜଣାପଡ଼ୁଛି । ମନେରଖ, କେହି ଭୋକରେ ମରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ ।”’‘କେହି ଭୋକରେ ମରେ ନାହିଁ – ଏପରି ସେମାନେ କହନ୍ତି ।’’

Para: All through the night, Lencho thought only of one hope: the help of God, whose eyes, as he had been instructed, see everything, even what is deep in one’s conscience. Lencho was an ox of a man, working like an animal in the fields, but still, he knew how to write. The following Sunday, at daybreak, he began to write a letter which he himself would carry to town and place in the mail. It was nothing less than a letter to God.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ରାତିସାରା ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ କେବଳ ସେଇ ଗୋଟିଏ ଆଶା, ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କଥା ଭାବୁଥୁଲା, ଯାହାଙ୍କର ଆଖ୍ ତାଙ୍କୁ ଯେପରି କୁହାଯାଇଛି ସବୁକିଛି ଦେଖେ ଏପରିକି ଜଣକର ଗଭୀର ହୃଦୟରେ କ’ଣ ଅଛି ଦେଖାରେ । ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ କଠିନ ପରିଶ୍ରମୀ ଥିଲା ଓ ସେ ତା’ର ଜମିରେ ବଳଦ ଭଳି ଖଟୁଥିଲା, କିନ୍ତୁ ତଥାପି ସେ ଲେଖୁବା ଜାଣିଥିଲା । ତା’ ପରବର୍ତୀ ରବିବାର ସକାଳୁ ସେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଚିଠି ଲେଖିବାକୁ ଆରମ୍ଭ କଲା, ଯାହାକୁ ସେ ନିଜେ ସହରକୁ ନେଲା ଓ ଡାକରେ ପକାଇ ଆସିଲା । ଏହା ଈଶ୍ଵରଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଏକ ପତ୍ର ବ୍ୟତୀତ ଅନ୍ୟ କିଛି ନ ଥିଲା ।

Para: “God,” he wrote, “if you don’t help me, my family and I will go hungry this year. I need a hundred pesos in order to sow my field again and to live until the crop comes, because of the hailstorm…. ”
ଅନୁବାଦ : ସେ ଲେଖୁଥିଲା, ‘ହେ ଈଶ୍ଵର, ଯଦି ଆପଣ ମୋତେ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ ନ କରନ୍ତି, ତେବେ ଏବର୍ଷ ମୋ ପରିବାର ଓ ମୁଁ ଭୋକରେ ରହିବୁ । ଜମିରେ ପୁନର୍ବାର ବିହନ ବୁଣିବାପାଇଁ ଓ ଫସଲ ଅମଳ ହେବା ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ବଞ୍ଚିବା ପାଇଁ ମୋର ଏକ ଶହ ପୋସୋ (ଲାଟିନ୍‌ ଆମେରିକାର ମୁଦ୍ରା) ଆବଶ୍ୟକ କାରଣ କୁଆପଥର ……”’

Para: He wrote “To God’ on the envelope, put the letter inside, and, still troubled, went to town. At the post office, he placed a stamp on the letter and dropped it into the mailbox.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ସେ ଲଫାପା ଉପରେ “To God” (ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ) ବୋଲି ଲେଖୁଲା, ଚିଠିଟିକୁ ତା’ ଭିତରେ ରଖିଲା, ତଥାପି ଶଙ୍କାକୁଳ ମନରେ ସହରକୁ ଗଲା । ଡାକଘରେ ସେ ଚିଠି ଉପରେ ଟିକଟ ଲଗାଇଲା ଓ ଡାକବାକ୍ସ ଭିତରେ ସେଇଟିକୁ ପକାଇଦେଲା ।

Para: One of the employees, who was a postman and also helped at the post office, went to his boss laughing heartily, and showed him the letter to God. Never in his career as a postman had he known that address. The postmaster – a fat, amiable fellow also broke out laughing, but almost immediately he turned serious and, tapping the letter on his desk, commented, “What faith! I wish I had the faith in the man who wrote this letter. Starting up a correspondence with God !”
ଅନୁବାଦ : ଜଣେ କର୍ମଚାରୀ, ଯିଏକି ଜଣେ ଡାକବାଲା ଥୁଲା ଓ ଡାକଘରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କରୁଥିଲା, ହସି ହସି ଉପରିସ୍ଥ ଅଧିକାରୀଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଗଲା ଓ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଲେଖାଯାଇଥିବା ଚିଠିଟିକୁ ଦେଖାଇଲା । ଡାକବାଲାଭାବେ ତା’ର ଚାକିରିକାଳ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ସେ ଏପରି ଠିକଣା କେବେ ଜାଣି ନଥିଲା । ଅମାୟିକ ପ୍ରକୃତିର ମେଦବହୁଳ ପୋଷ୍ଟମାଷ୍ଟର, ମଧ୍ୟ ହସି ହସି ଫାଟି ପଡ଼ିଲେ, କିନ୍ତୁ ହଠାତ୍ ସେ ଗମ୍ଭୀର ହୋଇଗଲେ ଏବଂ ତାଙ୍କ ଡେସ୍କ ଉପରେ ଚିଠିଟିକୁ ଟିକିଏ ବାଡ଼େଇ ଦେଇ ମନ୍ତବ୍ୟ ଦେଲେ, ‘କି ବିଶ୍ଵାସ ! ଏହି ଚିଠିଟି ଲେଖୁଥ‌ିବା ଲୋକର ବିଶ୍ଵାସ ଭଳି ମୋର ବିଶ୍ବାସ ଥାଆନ୍ତି କି ! ଈଶ୍ଵରଙ୍କ ସହିତ ପତ୍ରାଳାପ ଆରମ୍ଭ କରିଛି ।’’

Para: So, in order not to shake the writer’s faith in God, the postmaster came up with an idea: answer the letter. But when he opened it, it was evident that to answer it he needed something more than goodwill, ink, and paper. But he stuck to his resolution: he asked for money from his employees, he himself gave part of his salary, and several friends of his were obliged to give something for an act of charity.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ଲେଖକଙ୍କର ଈଶ୍ଵରଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ଆସ୍ଥା ନ ତୁଟାଇବାପାଇଁ ପୋଷ୍ଟମାଷ୍ଟରଙ୍କ ମନ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଚିଠିର ଉତ୍ତର ଲେଖୁବାପାଇଁ ବିଚାରଟିଏ ଆସିଲା । କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ଯେତେବେଳେ ଏହାକୁ ଖୋଲିଲେ, ସେଥୁରୁ ଜଣାପଡ଼ିଲା ଯେ ଏହାର ଉତ୍ତର ଦେବାପାଇଁ ସେ ଶୁଭେଚ୍ଛା, କାଳି ଓ କାଗଜ ବ୍ୟତୀତ ଆଉ କିଛି ଅଧିକ ଦରକାର କରୁଥିଲେ । କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ଯାହା ସଙ୍କଳ୍ପ କରିଥିଲେ ବା ଚିନ୍ତା କରିଥିଲେ ସେଇଥ୍ରେ ଅଟଳ ରହିଲେ । ସେ ତାଙ୍କର କର୍ମଚାରୀମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ କିଛି ଟଙ୍କା ମାଗିଲେ ଓ ସେ ନିଜେ ତାଙ୍କ ଦରମାରୁ କିଛି ଅଂଶ ପ୍ରଦାନ କଲେ ଏବଂ ତାଙ୍କର ଅନେକ ବନ୍ଧୁ ଏହି ବଦାନ୍ୟପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ ପାଇଁ କିଛି ଅର୍ଥ ଦେଇ କୃତଜ୍ଞ ହେଲେ ।

Para: It was impossible for him to gather together the hundred pesos, so he was able to send the farmer only a little more than half. He put the money in an envelope addressed to Lencho and with it a letter containing only a single word as a signature: God.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ ମାଗିଥ୍‌ ଶହେ ପେସୋ ଏକତ୍ର ସଂଗ୍ରହ କରିବା ତାଙ୍କ ପକ୍ଷେ ଅସମ୍ଭବ ଥିଲା, ତେଣୁ ସେ କୃଷକ ନିକଟକୁ ଅଧାରୁ ଟିକିଏ ଅଧିକ ପଠାଇବାକୁ ସମର୍ଥ ହେଲେ । ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ ଠିକଣା ଲେଖାଥିବା ଲଫାପା ଭିତରେ ସେ ଟଙ୍କା ଓ ତା’ ସହ ‘ଈଶ୍ବର’ ବୋଲି ସ୍ବାକ୍ଷର ହୋଇଥିବା ଚିଠିଟିକୁ ରଖୁଲେ ।

Para: The following Sunday Lencho came a bit earlier than usual to ask if there was a letter for him. It was the postman himself who handed the letter to him while the postmaster, experiencing the contentment of a man who has performed a good deed, looked on from his office.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ତା’ପାଇଁ କିଛି ଚିଠି ଅଛି କି ନାହିଁ ଜାଣିବାପାଇଁ ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ ପରବର୍ତ୍ତୀ ରବିବାର ଟିକିଏ ସହଳ ପହଞ୍ଚଗଲା । ଡାକବାଲା ନିଜେ ଚିଠିଟିକୁ ତାକୁ ବଢ଼ାଇଦେଲେ ଓ ଜଣେ ଭଲ କାମ କରିଥିବା ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ଭଳି ସନ୍ତୋଷ ଅନୁଭବ କରି ପୋଷ୍ଟମାଷ୍ଟର ତାଙ୍କ ଅଫିସ୍‌ରୁ ଚାହିଁ ରହିଲେ ।

Para: Lencho showed not the slightest surprise on seeing the money; such was his confidence-but that he became angry when he counted the money. God could not have made a mistake, nor could he have denied Lencho what he had requested.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ଲେଞ୍ଚୋର ଏତେ ଦୃଢ଼ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଥିଲା ଯେ ଟଙ୍କାକୁ ଦେଖୁ ସେ ତିଳେମାତ୍ର ବିସ୍ମିତ ହେଲା ନାହିଁ । ମାତ୍ର ଟଙ୍କାଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଗଣିବାବେଳେ ସେ ରାଗିଗଲା । ଈଶ୍ବର କେବେହେଲେ ଭୁଲ୍ କରିପାରିବେ ନାହିଁ କିମ୍ବା ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ ଯାହା ଅନୁରୋଧ କରିଥିଲା ତାକୁ ମଧ୍ୟ କେବେହେଲେ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟାଖ୍ୟାନ କରିପାରିବେ ନାହିଁ ।

Para: Immediately, Lencho went up to the window to ask for paper and ink. On the public writing table, he started to write, with much wrinkling of his brow, caused by the effort he had to make to express his ideas. When he finished, he went to the window to buy a stamp which he licked and then affixed to the envelope with a blow of his fist. The moment the letter fell into the mailbox the postmaster went to open it. It said: “God: Of the money that I asked for, only seventy pesos reached me. Send me the rest since I need it very much. But don’t send it to me through the mail because the post office employees are a bunch of crooks. Len cho.”
ଅନୁବାଦ : ସଙ୍ଗେ ସଙ୍ଗେ ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ କାଗଜ ଓ କାଳି ମାଗିବାପାଇଁ ଝରକା ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଗଲା । ତା’ର ଭାବନାକୁ ପରିପ୍ରକାଶ କରିବାକୁ ଭୁଲତା କୁଞ୍ଚନ ସହିତ ସର୍ବସାଧାରଣଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଉଦ୍ଦିଷ୍ଟ ଟେବୁଲ ଉପରେ ସେ ଲେଖୁବାକୁ ଆରମ୍ଭ କଲା । ଚିଠି ଲେଖା ଶେଷ କରିବା ପରେ ଲେଞ୍ଚେ ଝରକା ପାଖକୁ ଟିକଟଟିଏ କିଣିବାକୁ ଗଲା ଓ ଟିକେଟରେ ସେ ଛେପ ମାରି ଲଫାପା ଉପରେ ବିଧାମାରି ଲଗାଇଦେଲା । ଡାକବାକ୍ସରେ ଚିଠିଟି ପଡ଼ିବାମାତ୍ରେ ପୋଷ୍ଟମାଷ୍ଟର ତାକୁ ଖୋଲିବାକୁ ଚାଲିଗଲେ । ଏଥ‌ିରେ ଲେଖାଥିଲା : ‘ହେ ଈଶ୍ଵର, ମୁଁ ମାଗିଥିବା ଟଙ୍କା ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ମାତ୍ର ସତୁରି ପୋସୋ ମୋ ପାଖରେ ପହଞ୍ଚିଲା । ଅବଶିଷ୍ଟ ଟଙ୍କାତକ ମୋ ପାଖକୁ ପଠାନ୍ତୁ କାରଣ ଏହା ମୋ ପାଇଁ ନିତାନ୍ତ ଆବଶ୍ୟକ । ମାତ୍ର ଏହାକୁ ଡାକ ଯୋଗେ ମୋ ପାଖକୁ ପଠାନ୍ତୁ ନାହିଁ କାରଣ ଡାକଘର କର୍ମଚାରୀମାନେ ହେଉଛନ୍ତି ଦଳେ ଅସାଧୁ ଲୋକ ।’’ ଇତି ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ ।

1. An animal that lives in the desert is the camel. People kept camels as pets many thousands of years ago. Camels usually live in small groups of up to thirty animals. Camels have long, shaggy winter coats to keep warm, and shorter, tidier coats in the summer to keep cool. A thirsty camel can drink as much as thirty gallons of water, about five hundred full glasses, in just ten minutes.
2. There are two different types of camels. One, known as the Dromedary, has only a single hump; the other is called a Bactrian camel and has two humps. The humps help the animal to survive in the desert by acting as storage containers.

1. There was a very big and handsome rooster. He looked like a king with his beautiful red crown. He also felt like a king. He got up very early in the morning, sat in a high place, and sang non-stop-cock-koo-doodle doo, cock-koo-doodle doo. He knew that his song was much better than the songs of the other roosters in his locality. But he wanted to make his song still better, louder, and clearer. But how to do this was his problem. It was a problem till a jackal suggested a way out.
2. The jackal saw the rooster singing every day early in the morning. But it sang keeping his eyes open. If he would try to catch the rooster, the rooster would fly away to the tree. This was what happened the other day when he tried to catch a rooster. So he came to the rooster and said, “Oh great, handsome, king-like rooster! Your song will be really nice if you sing closing your eyes.”

Question 2.
Find the principal solution of the following equations:
(i) sin θ = sin 2θ
Solution:
sin θ = sin 2θ
or, 2θ = nπ + (-1)ⁿ θ
or, 2π – (-1)ⁿ θ = nπ
or, θ = $\frac{n \pi}{2-(-1)^n}$
when n = 0, θ = 0
when n = 1, θ = $\frac{\pi}{3}$
when n = 2, θ = 2π
when n = 3, θ = π
when n = 4, θ = 4π
when n = 5, θ = $\frac{5 \pi}{3}$
∴ The principal solution are 0, $\frac{\pi}{3}$, π, $\frac{5 \pi}{3}$

(ii) √3 sin θ – cos θ = 2
Solution:
√3 sin θ – cos θ = 2
or, $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ sin θ – 1/2 cos θ = 1

which is the only principal solution.

(iii) cos² θ + sin θ + 1 = 0
Solution:
cos² θ + sin θ + 1 = 0
or, 1 – sin² θ + sin θ + 1 = 0
or, sin² θ – sin θ + 2 = 0
or, sin² θ – 2 sin θ + sin θ – 2 = 0
or, sinθ(sinθ – 2) + (sinθ – 2) = 0
or, (sinθ – 2) (sinθ + 1) = 0
∴ sinθ = 2, sinθ = – 1
= sin $\left(-\frac{3 \pi}{2}\right)$ or, θ = – $\frac{\pi}{2}$, $\frac{3 \pi}{2}$
∴ The principal solution is $\frac{3 \pi}{2}$.

cos 2x = θ
or, 2x = (2n + 1)$\frac{\pi}{2}$
or, x = (2n + 1)$\frac{\pi}{4}$, n∈Z

(ii) sin(x° + 40°) = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 4 Trigonometric Functions Ex 4(c) 4$

(iii) sin 5θ = sin 3θ
Solution:
sin 5θ = sin 3θ
or, 5θ = nπ + (-1)ⁿ 3θ
or, 5θ – (-1)ⁿ 3θ = nπ
or, θ[5 – (-1)ⁿ3] = nπ
or, θ = $\frac{n \pi}{5-(-1)^n 3}$

(iv) tan ax = cot bx
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 4 Trigonometric Functions Ex 4(c) 5$

(v) tan² 3θ = 3
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 4 Trigonometric Functions Ex 4(c) 6$

Question 4.
Solve the following:
(Hints : cos x ≠ 0 and sin² x- sin x + 1/2 = 0)
(i) tan² x + sec² x = 3
Solution:
tan² x + sec² x = 3
or, tan² x + 1 + tan2 x = 3
or, 2tan² x = 2
or, tan² x = 1
or, tan x = ± 1 = tan $\left(\pm \frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
∴ x = nπ ± $\frac{\pi}{4}$

(ii) 4 sin² x + 6 cos² x = 5
Solution:
4 sin² x + 6 cos² x = 5
or, 4 sin² x + 6(1 – sin² x) = 5
or, 4 sin² x + 6 – 6 sin² x = 5
or, 6- 2 sin² x = 5
or, 2 sin² x = 1
or, sin² x = 1/2
or, sin x = ± $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ = sin $\left(\pm \frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
or, x = nπ + (-1)ⁿ $\left(\pm \frac{\pi}{4}\right)$

(iii) 3 sin x + 4 cos x = 5

(v) cos x + √3 sin x = √2
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 4 Trigonometric Functions Ex 4(c) 10$

(vi) sin 3x – 2 cos² x = 0
Solution :
sin 2x – 2 cos² x = 0
or, 2 sin x cos x – 2 cos² x = 0
or, 2 cos x(sin x – cos x) = 0
∴ cos x = 0, sin x = cos x
∴ x = (2n + 1)$\frac{\pi}{2}$, tan x = 1 = tan $\frac{\pi}{4}$
or, x = nπ + $\frac{\pi}{4}$

(vii) sec θ + tan θ = √3
Solution:

Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 4 Trigonometric Functions Ex 4(c) 16$
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 4 Trigonometric Functions Ex 4(c) 17$

(x) cos 2x° + cos x° – 2 = 0
Solution:
cos 2x° + cos x° – 2 = 0
or, 2 cos² x° – 1 + cos x° – 2 = 0
or, 2 cos² x° + cos x° – 3 = 0
or 2 cos² + 3cos x° – 2cos x°- 3 = 0
or, cos x°(2 cos x° + 3) – 1(2 cos x° + 3) = 0
or, (2 cos x° + 3)(cos x° – 1) = 0
∴ cos x° = 1 = cos 0°
∴ x° = 2nπ ± 0 = 2nπ
or, $\frac{\pi x}{180}$ = 2nπ
or, x = 360 n
Again 2 cos x° + 3 = 0
⇒ cos x° = – 3/2 which has no solution.
Hence x = 360 n.

(xi) tan θ + tan 2θ = tan 3θ
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 4 Trigonometric Functions Ex 4(c) 18$

(xii) tan θ + tan ($\theta+\frac{\pi}{3}$) + tan ($\theta+\frac{2\pi}{3}$) = 3

⇒ θ = 2nπ + $\frac{\pi}{4}$

(xvi) 3cot² θ – 2 sin θ = 0
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 4 Trigonometric Functions Ex 4(c) 24$

(xvii) 4 cos x. cos 2x . cos 3x = 1
Solution:
4 cos x cos 2x cos 3x = 1
⇒ 2 cos x cos 2x. 2 cos 3x = 1
⇒ (cos 3x + cos x) 2 cos 3x = 1
⇒ 2 cos² 3x + 2 cos 3x cos x = 1
⇒ 2 cos² 3x – 1 + cos 4x + cos 2x = 0
⇒ cos 6x + cos 4x + cos 2x = 0
⇒ cos 6x + cos 2x + cos 4x = 0
⇒ 2 cos 4x cos 2x + cos 4x = 0
⇒ cos 4x (2 cos 2x + 1) = 0
⇒ cos 4x = 0, cos 2x = – 1/2
cos 4x = 0 ⇒ 4x = (2n + 1) $\frac{\pi}{2}$
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 4 Trigonometric Functions Ex 4(c) 25$

(xviii) cos 3x – cos 2x = sin 3x

⇒ 2y² + y – 1 = 0
⇒ (2y- 1) (y + 1) = 0
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 4 Trigonometric Functions Ex 4(c) 27$
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 4 Trigonometric Functions Ex 4(c) 28$

(xix) cos x + sin x = cos 2x + sin 2x
Solution:
cos x + sin x – cos 2x + sin 2x
[Refer (viii)]

(xx) tan x + tan 4x + tan 7x = tan x. tan 4x. tan 7x
Solution:
tan x + tan 4x + tan 7x = tan x tan 4x tan 7x
or, tan x + tan 4x
= – tan 7x + tan x tan 4x tan 7x
= – tan 7x (1 – tan x tan 4x)
or, $\frac{\tan x+\tan 4 x}{1-\tan x \tan 4 x}$ = – tan 7x
or, tan (x + 4x) = tan (π – 7x)
or, tan 5x = tan (π – 7x)
or, 5x = nπ + π – 7x
or, 12x = π(n + 1)
or, x = $\frac{\pi(n+1)}{12}$, n∈Z

(xxi) 2(sec² θ + sin² θ) = 5
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 4 Trigonometric Functions Ex 4(c) 29$

(xxii) $(\cos x)^{\sin ^2 x-\frac{3}{2} \sin x+\frac{1}{2}}=1$
Solution:
$(\cos x)^{\sin ^2 x-\frac{3}{2} \sin x+\frac{1}{2}}=0$
As cos x ≠ 0.
we have sin² – $\frac{3}{2}$ sin x + $\frac{1}{2}$ = 0
∴ 2 sin² x – 3 sin x + 1 = 0
or, 2 sin² x – 2 sin x – sin x + 1 = 0
or, (2sin x – 1)(sin x – 1) = 0
∴ sin x = $\frac{1}{2}$ or, sin x = 1
But as cos x ≠ 0, we have sin x ≠ 1
∴ sin x = $\frac{1}{2}$ = sin $\frac{\pi}{6}$
∴ x = nπ + (-1)ⁿ $\frac{\pi}{6}$, n∈Z

Answer:
We should consider such demise (death of Vicky ‘by chance’.

Question 9.
The poet uses flashback, which Is often used to recount events that had happened before the story started. Which stanzas talk about the past events and which ones the present incident ? (ଗଳ୍ପ ଆରମ୍ଭ ପୂର୍ବରୁ କବି ଅତୀତ ଘଟଣା ଯାହାକି ପୂର୍ବରୁ ଘଟିଛି ତା’ର ସ୍ମୃତିଚାରଣ କରିଛନ୍ତି । କବିତାରେ କେଉଁ ପଙ୍‌କ୍ତିଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଅତୀତ ଘଟଣା ଓ କେଉଁ ପଗୁଡ଼ିକ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନର ଘଟଣାକୁ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତ କରୁଛି ?)
Answer:
The poet uses flashback, which is often used to recount events that had happened before the story started. The stanzas stating past events are:
“On a wet monsoon day. for a task mundane
Vicky rode his bike to his friend in the next lane;
For once, from wearing his helmet he did refrain
God! He met with an accident gory and inhumane.” (Stanza — 5)
and
“All it look was a stray moment inane
A young life lost, a family crushed with pain;
Dear friends, take care; risky driving can be the bane
DRIVE SAFE — let your precious life not be in vain! (Stanza — 6)
Similarly stanza — 3 and stanza — 4 also talk about past events.
The stanza stating present events is:
“Hi ! ¡ am Vicky’s brilliant brain
Sitting in a tourmaline jar with disdain:
On display to promote knowledge gain
Watching people stare at new again and again. (Stanza – I)
Similarly stanza — 2 also talks about the present incident.

Question 10.
Find the rhyming words in the poem.
(କବିତାରେ ଯତିପାତ ଶବ୍ଦସବୁ (ସମାନ ଉଚ୍ଚାରିତ) ଖୋଜି ବାହାର କର ।)
Answer:
The rhyming words in the poem are (1st stanza) brain — disdain, gain — again. (2nd stanza) specimen — human, within — chagrin. (3rd stanza) sane — rain, domain — gain. 4th stanza insane cane. Lorraine — explain, (5th stanza) mundane — lane. refrain — inhumane. (6th stanza) inane pain, banc — vain.

Question 11.
Why does the poet use capital letters for the first two words in the last line of the poem?
(କବିତାର ଶେଷ ଧାଡ଼ିରେ ପ୍ରଥମ ଦୁଇଟି ଶବ୍ଦ ପାଇଁ କବି କାହିଁକି ବଡ଼ ଅକ୍ଷର ବ୍ୟବହାର କରିଛନ୍ତି ?)
Answer:
The poet uses capital letters for the first two words in the last line of the poem (DRIVE SAFE) to stress upon (ଜୋର ଦେବା ପାଇଁ) ‘safe driving.

Question 12.
You read and understood the poem. Do you like the title of the poem? Why/ Why not? Can you suggest another title for the poem?
(ତୁମେ କବିତାଟି ପଢ଼ିସାରିଛ ଓ ବୁଝିସାରିଛ । କବିତାର ଶୀର୍ଷକ (ନାମ) ତୁମକୁ ଭଲ ଲାଗୁଛି କି ? କାହିଁକି/କାହିଁକି ନୁହେଁ ? ତୁମେ କବିତା ପାଇଁ ଅନ୍ୟ ଏକ ଶୀର୍ଷକ ଦେଇପାରିବ କି ?)
Answer:
I like the title (name) of the poem. Because the formalin jar inside which Vicky’s brain is preserved gives a strong message (ବାର୍ତ୍ତା) how the jar will keep waiting (ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରି ରହିବ) for a careless boy like Vicky who suffered a premature death (ଏକ ଅକାଳ ମୃତ୍ୟୁର ଶିକାର ହୋଇଥିଲେ)without wearing a helmet.

A TRAGIC ROAD ACCIDENT

Saheed Nagar. Bhubaneswar, 3rd June: It was a wet monsoon day yet there was heavy traffic on the roads. Vicky, a young smart boy, rode his bike to his friend’s house in the next lane. Vicky was very sincere, but that day he did not wear his helmet for the first time. To his bad luck, a truck coming from Acharya Vihar at a high speed hit his bike and he got a severe head injury and died on the spot. The police rushed to the spot and send the body to the hospital. This tragic road accident happened due to the high speed of the truck and the carelessness of the boy. If he wore a helmet, he would not have lost his life. So young children should be careful about the traffic rules while riding on the road. They should obey traffic rules like wearing helmets, and driving a considerable speed. avoid talking on mobiles ut listening to music etc.

Rajendra,

Odisha State Board Elements of Mathematics Class 11 CHSE Odisha Solutions Chapter 7 Linear Inequalities Ex 7(c) Textbook Exercise Questions and Answers.

CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 7 Linear Inequalities Exercise 7(c)

Solve the following systems of linear inequalities graphically.
Question 1.
2x – y ≥ 0, x – 2y ≤ 0, x ≤ 2, y ≤ 2 [Hint: You may consider the point (2, 2) to determine the SR of the first two inequalities.]
Solution:
2x – y ≥ 0
x – 2y ≤ 0
x ≤ 2
y ≤ 2
Step – 1: Let us draw the lines.
2x – y = 0, x – 2y = 0, x = 2, y = 2
2x – y = 0

X	0	1
y	0	2

x – 2y = 0

X	0	2
y	0	1

$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 7 Linear Inequalities Ex 7(c)$
Step – 2: Let us consider point (1, 0) which does not line on any of these lines.
Putting x = 1, y = 0 in the inequations we get
2 ≥ 0 (True)
1 ≤ 0 (False)
1 ≤ 2 (True)
0 ≤ 2 (True)
Point (1, 0) satisfies all inequality except x – 2y < 0.
∴ Thus the shaded region is the solution region.

Question 2.
x – y < 1, y – x < 1
Solution:
x – y < 1
y – x < 1
Step – 1: Let us draw the dotted lines.
x – y = 1 and y – x = 1
x – y = 1 ⇒ y = x – 1

X	1	0
y	0	-1

y – x = 1 ⇒ y = x + 1

X	0	-1
y	1	0

$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 7 Linear Inequalities Ex 7(c) 1$
Step – 2: Let us consider the point (0, 0) which does not lie on these lines.
Putting x = 0, y = 0 in the inequations
we get
0 < 1 (True)
0 < 1 (True)
∴ (0, 0) satisfies both the inequations.
∴ Thus the shaded region is the feasible region.

Question 3.
x – 2y + 2 < 0, x > 0
Solution:
x – 2y + 2 < 0, x > 0
Step – 1: Let us draw the dotted line x – 2y + 2 = 0
⇒ y = $\frac{x+2}{2}$

X	-2	0
y	0	1

$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 7 Linear Inequalities Ex 7(c) 2$
Step – 2: Let us consider the point (1, 0) that does not lie on the lines putting x = 0, y = 0 in the inequation, we get
2 < 0 (false)
1 > 0 (True)
⇒ (1, 0) satisfies x > 0 and does not satisfy x – 2y + 2 < 0.
∴ Thus the shaded region is the solution region.

Question 4.
x – y + 1 ≥ 0, 3x + 4y ≤ 12, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
Solution:
x – y + 1 ≥ 0
3x + 4y ≤ 12
x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
Step – 1: Let us draw the lines.
x – y + 1 = 0
3x + 4y = 12
Now, x – y + 1 = 0 ⇒ y = x + 1

X	0	-1
y	1	0

3x + 4y = 12

X	4	0
y	0	3

$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 7 Linear Inequalities Ex 7(c) 3$
Step – 2: Let us consider the point (0, 0) which does not lie on these lines.
Putting x = 0, y = 0 in the inequations
we get
1 ≥ 0 (True)
0 ≤ 12 (False)
∴ (0, 0) satisfies both the inequations and x > 0, y > 0 is the first quadrant.
∴ Thus the shaded region is the solution region.

Question 5.
x + y > 1, 3x – y < 3, x – 3y + 3 > 0
Solution:
x + y > 1
3x – y < 3
x – 3y + 3 > 0
Step – 1: Let us draw the lines.
x + y = 1
3x – y = 3
x – 3y + 3 = 0
Now x + y = 1
⇒ y = 1 – x

X	1	0
y	0	1

3x – y = 3
⇒ y = 3x – 3

X	1	0
y	0	-3

x – 3y + 3 = 0
⇒ y = $\frac{x+3}{3}$

X	-3	0
y	0	1

$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 7 Linear Inequalities Ex 7(c) 4$
Step – 2: Let us consider the point (0, 0) that does not lie on these lines. Putting x = 0, y = 0 in the inequations we get,
0 > 1 (False)
0 < 3 (True)
3 > 0 (True)
Thus (0, 0) satisfies 3x – y < 3 and x – 3y + 3 > 0 but does not satisfy x + y > 1
∴ The shaded region is the solution region.

Question 6.
x > y, x < 1, y > 0
Solution:
x > y, x < 1, y > 0
Step – 1: Let us draw the dotted lines.
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 7 Linear Inequalities Ex 7(c) 5$
Step – 2: Let us consider a point (2, 1) that does not lie on any of the lines.
Putting x = 2, y = 2 in the inequations
we get,
2 > 1 (True)
2 < 1 (False)
1 > 0 (True)
⇒ (2, 1) satisfies x > y and y > 0 but does not satisfy x < 1.
∴ Thus the shaded region is the solution region.

Question 7.
x < y, x > 0, y < 1
Solution:
x < y
x > 0
y < 1
Step – 1: Let us draw the dotted lines.
x = y
x = 0
and y = 1
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 7 Linear Inequalities Ex 7(c) 6$
Step – 2: Let us consider point (1, 0) that does not lie on these lines.
Putting x = 0, y = 0 in the inequations
we get
1 < 0 (False)
1 > 0 (True)
0 < 1 (True)
Clearly (1, 0) satisfies x > 0, y < 1 but does not satisfy x < y.
∴ The shaded region is the solution region.

CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b)

November 10, 2023November 9, 2023 by Prasanna

Odisha State Board CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) Textbook Exercise Questions and Answers.

CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Exercise 6(b)

Question 1.
If Z₁ and Z₂ are two complex numbers then show that
$\begin{aligned}
& \left|1-z_1 \overline{z_2}\right|^2-\left|z_1-z_2\right|^2 \\
& =\left(1-\left|z_1\right|^2\right)\left(1-\left|z_2\right|^2\right)
\end{aligned}$
Solution:
Let z₁ and z₂ be two complex numbers.
Let z₁ = a + ib, z₂ = c + id
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b)$

Question 2.
If a, b, c are complex numbers satisfying a + b + c = 0 and a² + b² + c² = 0 then show that |a| = |b| = |c|
Solution:
Let a + b + c = 0 and a² + b² + c² = 0
Then (a + b + c)² = 0
⇒ a² + b² + c² + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca = 0
⇒ 2(ab + bc + ca) = 0
⇒ ab + bc = – ca
⇒ b(a + c) = – ca
⇒ b(- b) = – ca [a + b + c = 0]
⇒ b² = ca
⇒ b³ = abc
Similarly it can be shown that a³ = abc and c³ = abc
Thus a³ = b³ = c³
⇒ |a³|= |b³| = |c³|
⇒ |a|³ = |b|³ = |c|³
⇒ |a| = |b| = |c|

Question 3.
What do the following represent?
(i) { z : |z – a| + |z + a| = 2c } where |a| < c
Solution:
{ z : |z – a| + |z + a| = 2c } where |a| < c …….(1)
Here z is a complex number.
Let z = x + iy.
∴ (x, y) is the point corresponding to the complex number z?
Let ‘a’ and ‘ – a’ be two fixed points.
∴ Eqn. (1) implies that the sum of the distances of the point (x, y) from two points la and a’ is constant i.e. 2c
∴ The locus is an ellipse.

(ii) {z : |z – a| – |z + a| = c }
Solution:
Here {z : |z – a| – |z + a| = c } implies that, the difference of the distances of the point (x, y) from two fixed points ‘ – a’ and ‘a’ is a constant i.e. c.
So the locus is a hyperbola.

(iii) What happens in (i) |a| > c?
Solution:
In(i), if |a| > c. then there is no locus. But if |a| = c, then the locus reduces to a straight line.

Question 4.
Given cos α + cos β + cos γ = sin α + sin β + sin γ = 0 Show that cos 3α + cos 3β + cos 3γ = 3 cos (α + β + γ)
Solution:
Let a = cos α + i sin α,
b = cos β + i sin β
c = cos γ + i sin γ
∴ a + b + c = ( cos α + cos β + cos γ) + i ( sin α + sin β + sin γ)
= 0 + i0 = 0
∴ a³ + b³ + c³ – 3 abc
= (a + b + c )( a² + b² + c² – ab – bc – ca) = 0
or, a³ + b³ + c³ = 3 abc
or, ( cos α + i sin α)³ + (cos β + i sin β)³ + ( cos γ + i sin γ)³
= 3( cos α + i sin α) (cos β + i sin β) ( cos γ + i sin γ)
or, cos 3α + i sin 3α + cos 3β + i sin 3β + cos 3γ + i sin 3γ
= 3[cos (α + β + γ) + i sin (α + β + γ)]
or, (cos 3α + cos 3β + cos 3γ) + i (sin 3α + sin 3β + sin 3γ)
= 3 cos (α + β + γ) + i 3 sin (a + β + γ)
∴ cos 3α + cos 3β + cos 3γ
= 3 cos (α + β + γ) and sin 3α + sin 3β + sin 3γ
= 3 sin (α + β + γ)

Question 5.
Binomial theorem for complex numbers. Show that (a+b)ⁿ = aⁿ ⁿC₁a^n-1b + …..+ ⁿc_ra^n-rb^r+ …..+ bⁿ where a,b ∈ C and n, rule of multiplication of complex numbers and the relation ⁿC_r+ ⁿC_r-1= ⁿ⁺¹C_r)
Solution:
Let a and b be two complex numbers
Let a = α₁+ iβ₁, b = α₂+ iβ₂
(a + b)¹ = (α₁+ iβ₁+ α₂+ iβ₂)¹
= α₁+ iβ₁+ α₂+ iβ₂
= (α₁ + iβ₁)¹ + ¹C₁(α₁+ iβ₁)^1-1(α₁+ iβ₁)¹
= a¹ + ¹C₁a^1-1b¹
∴ P₁ is true
Let P_k be true
i.e., (a + b)^k = a^k + ^kC₁ a^k-1 b¹ + … + b^k
where a.b ∈ C
Now ( a + b)^k+1 = (a + b)^k (a + b)¹
= (a^k + ^kC₁ a^k-1b¹ +…+ b^k) (a + b)
= a^k-1 + ba^k+ ^kC₁ a^kb + ^kC₁a^k-1b² + … + b^k+1
= a^k+1 + a^kb(^kC₁+ 1)+ …+ b^k+1
= a^k+1 + ^k+1C₁a^kb¹ + ^k+1 C₂a^k-1b² +… + b^k+1
∴ P_k+1 is true
∴ P_n is true for all values of n ∈ N

Question 6.
Use the Binomial theorem and De Moiver’s theorem to show
cos 3θ = 4 cos ³ θ – 3 cos θ,
sin 3θ = 3 sin θ – 4 sin ³ θ
Express cos nθ as a sum of the product of powers of sin θ and cos θ. Do the same thing for sin nθ.
Solution:
We have (cos θ + i sin θ)³
= cos 3θ + i sin 3θ …..(1)
But by applying the Binomial theorem, we have
(cos θ + i sin θ)³
= cos ³ θ + ³C₁ (cos θ)^3-1 (i sin θ)¹ + ³C₂ (cos θ)^3-2 (i sin θ)² + (i sin θ)³
= cos3θ + 3i cos2θ sin θ + 3i² cos θ sin² θ + i³ sin³ θ
= (cos³ θ – 3 cos θ sin² θ) + i(3 cos² θ sin θ – sin³ θ)
∴ cos ³ θ =cos³ θ – 3 cos θ(1 – cos² θ)
= cos³ θ – 3 cos θ + 3 cos ³ θ
= 4 cos³ θ – 3 cos θ and
sin 3θ = 3 cos² θ sin³ θ – sin³ θ
= 3 (1 – sin² θ) sin θ – sin³ θ
= 3 sin θ – 3 sin³ θ – sin³ θ
= 3 sin θ – 4 sin³ θ (Proved)
Again, (cos θ + i sin θ)ⁿ
= cos nθ + i sin nθ ….(3)
Also, (cos θ + i sin θ)ⁿ
= cosⁿ θ + ⁿC₁ cos^n-1 θ ( i sin θ) + ⁿc₂ cos ^n-2 θ (i sin θ)² + …+ (i sin θ)
= cosⁿ θ – ⁿC₂ cos^n-2 θ sin² θ + ⁿC₄ cos^n-4 θ sin⁴ θ – …) + i (ⁿC₁ cos^n-1 θ sin θ – ⁿC₃ cos^n-3 θ sin ³ θ) + ⁿC₅ cos^n-5 θ sin⁵ θ – …) …..(4)
Equating real part and imaginary parts in (1) and (3), we have
cos nθ = cosⁿ θ – ⁿC₂ cos^n-2 θ × sin² θ + ⁿC₄ cos^n-4 θ sin⁴ θ …
and sin nθ = ⁿC₁ cos^n-1 θ sin θ – ⁿC₃ cos^n-3 θ sin³ θ + ⁿC₅ cos^n-5 θ sin⁵ θ…

Question 7.
Find the square root of
(i) – 5 + 12 √-1
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 1$

(ii) – 11 – 60 √-1
Solution:
Let $\sqrt{-11-60 \sqrt{-1}}$ = x + iy
Squaring both sides we get
– 11 – 60i = (x + iy)²
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 2$

(iii) – 47 + 8 √-1
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 3$
As 2ab = 8 > 0, a and b have the same sign.
∴ $\sqrt{-47+8 i}$
$=\pm\left(\sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2273}-47}{2}}+i \frac{\sqrt{2273}+47}{2}\right)$

(iv) – 8 + √-1
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 4$

(v) a² – 1 +2a √-1
Solution:
a² – 1 + 2a √-1
= a² + i² + 2ai = (a + i)²
∴ $\sqrt{a^2-1+2 a \sqrt{-1}}$ = ±(a + i)

(vi) 4ab – 2 (a² – b²) √-1
Solution:
4ab – 2 (a² – b²) √-1
= (a + b)² – (a – b)² – 2(a² – b²)i
= (a + b)² + (a – b)²i²– 2(a + b)(a – b)i
= (a + b) – i(a – b)²
∴ $\sqrt{4 a b-2\left(a^2-b^2\right) \sqrt{-1}}$
= ±[(a + b) – i (a – b)]

Question 8.
Find the values of cos72° ….
Solution:
Let 18° = θ then 5θ = 90°
⇒ 3θ = 9θ – 2θ
⇒ cos 3θ = cos (9θ – 2θ) = sin 2θ
⇒ 4 cos³ θ – 3 cos θ = 2 sin θ cos θ
⇒ 4 cos² 0 – 3 = 2 sin 0 (∴ cos θ = cos 18° ≠ 0)
⇒ 4(1 – sin² θ) – 3 = 2 sin θ
⇒ 4 sin² θ + 2 sin θ – 1 = 0
⇒ sin θ = $\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4+16}}{2 \times 4}=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{5}}{4}$
⇒ sin 18° = $\frac{-1+\sqrt{5}}{4}=\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{4}$
(∴ 18° is a cut)
Now cos 72° = cos (90° – 18°)
= sin 18° = $\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{4}$
For other methods refer 148 pages of the text book.

Question 9.
Find the value of cos 36°.
Solution:
We have 36° = $\frac{\pi^0}{5}$
∴ cos 36° = cos $\frac{\pi}{5}$
Let α = cos $\frac{\pi}{5}$ + i sin $\frac{\pi}{5}$
be the root of the equation x⁵ + 1 = 0
Again, if x⁵ + 1 = 0
or, x⁵ = – 1 = cosπ + i sinπ
or, x = (cos π + i sin π )^1/5
= [cos (π + 2kπ)+ i sin (π + 2kπ)]^1/5
or, x = cos $\frac{(2 k+1) \pi}{5}+i \sin \frac{(2 k+1) \pi}{5}$
where 2kπ is the period of sine and cosine and k = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
∴ The eqn x⁵ + 1 = 0 has 5 roots out of which -1 is one root which corresponds to k = 2
Again,
x⁵ + 1 = (x + 1)(x⁴ – x³ + x² – x + 1)
So their 4 roots will be obtained on solving the eqn.
x⁴ – x³ + x² – x + 1 = 0
we have, x⁴ – x³ + x² – x + 1 = 0
or, x² – x + 1 – $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x^2}$ = 0
(Dividing both sides by x²)
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 5$
Re α i.e. cos $\frac{\pi}{5}=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{5}=\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}$
and cos.108° = $\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{4}$

Question 10.
Evaluate cos $\frac{2 \pi}{17}$ using the equation x¹⁷ – 1 = 0
Solution:
x¹⁷ – 1 = 0
or, x¹⁷ = 1 = cos 0° + i sin 0°
= cos (0 + 2kπ) + i sin (0 + 2kπ)
= cos 2kπ + i sin 2kπ
or x = (cos 2kπ + i sin 2kπ)^1/17
= cos $\frac{2k \pi}{17}$ + i sin $\frac{2k \pi}{17}$
If k = 1, x = cos $\frac{2 \pi}{17}$ + i sin $\frac{2 \pi}{17}$
If k = 0 , x = 1
As x¹⁷ – 1 = (x – 1) (x¹⁶ + x¹⁵ + …. +1)
So one root of the eqn. x¹⁷ – 1 = 0 is 1 and all other roots are the roots of the eqn.
x¹⁶ + x¹⁵ + ….+ 1 = 0
∴ The value of cos $\frac{2 \pi}{17}$ can be found from the roots of the eqn. (1)

Question 11.
Solve the equations.
(i) z⁷ = 1
Solution:
z⁷ = 1 = cos 0 + i sin 0
= cos (0 + 2kπ) + i sin (0 + 2kπ)
= cos 2kπ + i sin 2kπ
∴ z = (cos 2kπ + i sin 2kπ)^1/7
= cos $\frac{2k \pi}{7}$ + i sin $\frac{2k \pi}{7}$
where k = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

(ii) z³ = i
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 6$
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 7$

(iii) z⁶ = – i
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 8$

(iv) z³ = 1 + i
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 9$

Question 12.
If sin α + sin β + cos γ = 0
= cos α + cos β + cos γ = 0
Show that
(i) sin 3α + sin 3β + sin 3γ = 3 sin (α + β + γ)
Solution:
Refer to Q. No. 4

(ii) sin² α + sin² β + sin² γ = cos² α + cos² β + cos² γ =3/2
Solution:
Let x = cos α + i sin α,
y = cos β + i sin β
z = cos β + sin β
∴ x + y + z = (cos α + cos β + cos γ) + i ( sin α + sin β + sin γ) = 0 +i0= 0
∴ xy + yz + zx = xyz ($\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}$) = 0
Since $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}$ = cos α – i sin α + cos β – i sin β + cos γ – i sin γ
= (cos α + cos β + cos γ) – i (sin α + sin β + sin γ) = 0 – i0 =0
∴ (x + y + z)² = x ² + y² +z² + 2(xy + yz + zx)
= x² + y² + z² + 0 = x² + x² + z²
or 0 = x² + y² + z²
∴ x² +y² + z² =0
or, (cos α + i sin α)² + (cos β + i sin β)² + ( cos γ + i sin γ)² = 0
or, cos 2α + i sin 2α + cos 2β + i sin 2β + cos 2γ + i sin 2γ = 0
or, (cos 2α + cos 2β + cos 2γ) + i(sin 2α + sin 2β + sin 2γ) = 0
∴ cos 2α + cos 2β + cos 2γ = 0
or, cos² α – sin² α + cos² β – sin² β + cos² γ – sin² γ =0
or, (cos² α + cos² β + cos² γ) = (sin² α + sin² β + sin² γ)
But cos² α + sin² α + cos² β + sin² β + cos² γ + sin² γ = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
∴ cos² α + cos² β + cos² γ = sin² α + sin² β + sin² γ = 3/2 (Proved)

Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 13$
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 14$

Question 16.
If α and β are roots x² – 2x + 4 = 0 then show that $\alpha^n+\beta^n=2^{n+1} \cos \frac{n \pi}{3}$
Solution:
we have x² – 2x + 4 = 0
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 15$
= $2^n \times 2 \cos \frac{n \pi}{3}=2^{n+1} \cos \frac{n \pi}{3}$

Question 17.
For a positive integer n show that
(i) (1 + i)ⁿ + (1 – i)ⁿ = $2^{\frac{n+2}{2}} \cos \frac{n \pi}{4}$
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 16$

(ii) (1 + i√3)ⁿ + (1 – i√3)ⁿ = $2^{n+1} \cos \frac{n \pi}{3}$
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 17$

Question 18.
Let x + $\frac{1}{x}$ = 2 cos α, y + $\frac{1}{y}$ = 2 cos β, z + $\frac{1}{z}$ = 2 cos γ. Show that
(i) 2 cos (α + β + γ) = xyz + $\frac{1}{xyz}$
Solution:
We can take x = cos α + i sin α
y = cos β + i sin β, z = cos γ + i sin γ
∴ xyz = (cos α + i sin α ) (cos β + i sin β ) (cos γ + i sin γ)
= cos (α + β + γ) – i sin (α + β + γ)
∴ $\frac{1}{xyz}$ = cos (α + β + γ) – i sin(α + β + γ)
∴ xyz + $\frac{1}{xyz}$ = 2 cos(α + β + γ)

(ii) 2 cos (pα + qβ + rγ) = $x^p y^q z^r+\frac{1}{x^p y^q z^r}$
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 18$

Question 19.
Solve x⁹ + x⁵ – x⁴ = 1
Solution:
x⁹ + x⁵ – x⁴ = 1
or, x⁵(x⁴ + 1) – (x⁴ + 1) = 0
or, (x⁵ – 1) (x⁴ + 1) = 0
x⁴ + 1 = 0 and x⁵ – 1 = 0
x⁴ = – 1 = cos π + i sin π
= cos (π + 2nπ) + i sin (π + 2nπ)
∴ x = [cos (2n + 1) π + 1 sin (2n + 1) π]^1/4
= $\cos \frac{2 n+1 \pi}{4}+i \sin \frac{2 n+1 \pi}{4}$
for n = 0, 1, 2, 3
Again, x⁵ – 1 = 0 or, x⁵ = 1
or, x⁵ = cos 0 + i sin 0
= cos 2nπ + i sin 2nπ
or, x = (cos 2nπ + i sin 2nπ)^1/5
= $\cos \frac{2 n \pi}{5}+i \sin \frac{2 n \pi}{5}$
Where n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.

Question 20.
Find the general value of θ if (cos θ + i sin θ) (cos 2θ + i sin 2θ),…..(cos nθ + i sin nθ) =1
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 19$

Question 21.
If z = x + iy show that |x| + |y| ≤ √2 |z|
Solution:
z = x + iy
∴ |z| = $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$
∴ |z| = x² + y²
We have (|x| – |y|)² ≥ 0
⇒ |x|² + |y|² -2|x||y|> 0
⇒ 2(|x|² + |y|²) – 2|x||y| ≥ |x|² + |y|²
⇒ 2(|x|² + |y|²) ≥ |x|² + |y|² + 2|x||y|
⇒ 2|z|² ≥ (|x| + |y|)²
⇒ √2|z| ≥ |x| + |y|
⇒ |x| + |y| ≤ √2|z|

Question 22.
Show that
Re (Z₁Z₂) = Re z₁, Re z₂ – Im z₁, Im z₂
Im (Z₁Z₂) = Re z₁, Im z₂ + Re z₂ Im z₁
Solution:
Let z₁ = a + ib, z₂ = c + id
∴ z₁, z₂ = (a + ib) (c + id)
= ac + iad + ibc + i²bc
= (ac – bd) + i (ad + be)
∴ Re (z₁, z₂) = ac – bd – Re z₁. Re z₂
– Im z₁,. Im z₂
Again, Im z₁, z₂ = ad + be
= Re z₁. Im z₂ + Im z₁,. Re z₂

Question 23.
What is the value of arg ω + arg ω²?
Solution:
arg ω = arg ω² = arg (ω • ω²)
= arg (ω³) = arg (1) = 2nπ
∴ The principal agrument = 0.

Question 24.
If |z₁| ≤ 1, |z₂| ≤ 1 show that $\left|1-z_1 \overline{z_2}\right|^2-\left|z_1-z_2\right|^2=\left(1-\left|z_1\right|^2\right)\left(1-\left|z_2\right|^2\right)$ Hence and otherwise show that. $\left|\frac{z_1-z_2}{1-z_1 z_2}\right|<1 \text { if }\left|z_1\right|<1,\left|z_2\right|<1$
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 20$
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 21$

Question 25.
If z₁² + z₂² + z₃² – z₁z₂ – z₂z₃ – z₃z₄ = 0 Show that |z₁ – z₂| = |z₂ – z₃| = |z₃ – z₁|
Solution:
Let z₁² + z₂² + z₃² – z₁z₂ – z₂z₃ – z₃z₄ = 0
⇒ 2z₁² + 2z₂² + 2z₃² – 2z₁z₂ – 2z₂z₃ – 2z₃z₄ = 0
⇒ (z₁ – z₂)² + (z₂ – z₃)² + (z₃ – z₁)² = 0
Put a = z₁ – z₂, b = z₂ – z₃, c = z₃ – z₁
Then a + b + c = 0 and a² + b² + c² = 0 As in Q2 we can show that |a| = |b| = |c|
⇒ |z₁ – z₂| = |z₂ – z₃| = |z₃ – z₁|

Question 26.
If |a| < |c| show that there are complex numbers z satisfying |z – a| = |z + a| = 2|c|
Solution:
Let z = x + iy
∴ |z – a| + |z + a| = 2c
or, |x + iy – a| + |x + iy + a| = 2c

Question 29.
Find the region on the Argand plane on which z satisfying
[Hint Arg (x + iy) =$\frac{\pi}{2}$ = 0, y>0]
(i) 1 < |z – 2i| < 3
Solution:
Let z = x + iy
The given inequality is
1 < |x + i(y – 2)| < 3
⇒ $1<\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2}<3$

(ii) arg $\left(\frac{z}{z+i}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}$
Solution:
$CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 6 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Ex 6(b) 26$
As all are +ve we have
1 < x² + (y – 2)² < 9
x² + (y – 2)² < 9 is the region inside the circle with center (0, 2) and radius 1.
x² + (y – 2)² > 1 is the region outside the circle with center (0, 2) and radius.
∴ 1 < |z – 2i| < 3 is the region between two concentric circles with center (0, 2) and radius 1 and 3 which is shows below.

The present poem is based on an inspiring event of a race in which nine differently-abled athletes took part in a “Special Olympic” event. In the race when one runner fell to the ground, all others stopped and returned to help him stand on his feet, and they walked hand-in-hand to finish the race. All of them won and were awarded gold medals for their empathy for each other. The poem is highly educative in terms of value education in this competitive world. The poet highlights humanity which is high above personal achievements. It conveys a great message to humanity that the world now needs no more competition but more love, affection, fellow feeling, cooperation, and collaboration.

For x- 1 < 0 or x < 1, |x – 1| > 1

⇔ x – 1 < -1 (multiplication by -1 reverses the inequality)
⇔ x < 0 ⇔ x ∈ ( -∞, 0)
∴ The solution set is the Union,
(-∞, 0) ∪ (2, ∞) Show this as two disjoint open intervals on the number line, i.e., real line.]

In a triangle, ABC; AB, BC, and CA are x, 3x + 2, and x + 4 units respectively where x ∈ N. Find the length of its sides. (Hint: Apply triangle-inequality).
Solution:
Given AB = x
BC = 3x + 2
and CA = x + 4
Now AB + AC > BC (Triangle inequality)
⇒ x + x + 4 > 3x + 2
⇒ 2x + 4 > 3x + 2

As x ∈ N we have x = 1
The sides of triangle ABC are

Question 7.
The length of one side of a parallelogram is 1 cm. shorter than that of its adjacent side. If its perimeter is at least 26 c.m., find the minimum possible lengths of its sides.
Solution:
Let the longer side = x cm
∴ The smaller side = (x – 1) cm
Perimeter = 2(x + (x – 1)) = 4x – 2 cm
According to the question
4x – 2 ≥ 26
⇒ 4x ≥ 28
⇒ x > 7
The minimum value of x = 7.
∴ The minimum length of the sides is 7cm and 6 cm.

Question 8.
The length of the largest side of a quadrilateral is three times that of its smallest side. Out of the other two sides, the length of one is twice that of the smallest and the other is 1 cm. longer than the smallest. If the perimeter of the quadrilateral is at most 36 c.m., then find the maximum possible lengths of its sides.
Solution:
Let the smallest side = x cm.
Largest side = 3 times x = 3x cm.
The other two sides are 2x cm and x + 1 cm.
⇒ The perimeter = x + 3x + 2x + x + 1
= 7x + 1 cm
According to the question:
7x + 1 ≤ 36
⇒ 7x ≤ 35
⇒ x ≤ 5
Maximum value of x = 5
∴ The maximum possible length of sides are x = 5 cm, 3x = 15 cm, 2x = 10 cm, and x + 1 = 6 cm.
