Question 1.
Amina thinks of a number and subtracts \(\frac{5}{2}\) from it. She multiplies the result by 8. The result now obtained is 3 times the same number she thought of. What is the number?
Solution:
Let Amina thinks the number be x.
She subtracts \(\frac{5}{2}\) from x.
∴ Now, the result will be x – \(\frac{5}{2}\)
The result is multiply by 8
Therefore, (x – \(\frac{5}{2}\)) × 8 = 8x – 20
This number is three times the same number, therefore
8x – 20 = 3x
or, 8x – 3x = 20
or, 5x = 20
or, x = 4
∴ The number will be 4.

Question 2.
A positive number is 5 times another number. If 21 is added to both the numbers, then one of the new numbers becomes twice the other new number. What are the numbers?
Solution:
Let the another number be x.
The first number is 5x
21 is added to both the numbers then one of the new numbers becomes twice the other new number.
∴ 2(x + 21) = 5x + 21
or, 2x + 42 = 5x + 21
or, 2x – 5x = 21 – 42
or, -3x = -21
∴ x = 7
Other number = 7 × 5 = 35.
∴ The numbers are 7, 35.

Question 3.
Sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 9. When we interchange the digits, it is found that the resulting new number is greater than the original number by 27. What is the two digit number ?
Solution:
Let the ones place the number be x.
∴ Ten’s place = 9 – x
The number will be = 10 (9 – x) + x
(Two digit number = 10, tens place + one’s place)
After interchanging the digit we get 10x + 9 – x
This number is 27 more than original number
According to the question
10x + 9 – x = 10 (9 – x) + x + 27
or, 9x + 9 = 90 – 10x + x + 27
or, 9x = 117 – 9x – 9
or, 9x + 9x = 108
or, 18x = 108
or x = \(\frac{108}{18}\) = 6
∴ Ten’s place = 9 – 6 = 3
∴ The number will be = 10 × 3 + 6 = 36

Question 4.
One of the two digits of a two digit number is three times the other digit. If you interchange the digits of this two-digit number and add the resulting number to the original number, you get 88. What is the original number ?
Solution:
Let one’s place of a two digit number be x
Ten’s place = 3x
The number will be 10.3x + x
After interchanging the digits we get
10x + 3x
According to the question,
10.3x + x + 10x + 3x = 88
or, 30x + x + 10x + 3x = 88
or, 44× = 88
or, x = 2
The original number = 10 × 3 × 2 + 2 = 62
[Note : According to the question, If you let one’s place is 3 times of ten’s place digit, the answer will be 26.]

Solution:
Let Shobo’s present age be x years.
Shobo’s mother’s present age 6x years
5 years after Shobo’s age = x + 5 years
According to the question
x + 5 = \(\frac{6x}{3}\)
or, x + 5 = 2x
or, 2x – x = 5
or, x = 5
∴ Shobo’s present age = 5 year’s
Shobo’s mother’s present age
= 6 × 5 = 30 years.

Question 6.
There is a narrow rectangular plot reserved for a school, in Mahuli village. The length and breadth of the plot are in the ratio 11:4. At the rate Rs. 100 per metre it will cost the village panchayat Rs. 75000 to fence the plot. What are the dimensions of the plot?
Solution:
Let the ratio be x
Length = llx and breadth = 4x
Rs. 100 cost 1 metre to fence the plot.
Rs. 7500 cost \(\frac{1}{100}\) × 75000 metre to fence the plot = 750 metre
∴ Perimeter of the plot
= 750 m
2 (11x + 4x) = 750
[∵ Perimeter -2(l + b)]
2 × 15x = 750
or, 30x = 750
or, x = 25
Therefore length = 11 × 25 = 275 m
breadth = 4 × 25 = 100 m

Question 7.
Hasan buys two kinds of cloth materials for school uniforms, shirt material that costs him Rs. 50 per metre and trouser material that costs him Rs. 90 per metre. For every 2 metres of the trouser material he buys 3 metres of the shirt material. He sells the materials at 12% and 10% profit respectively. His total sale is Rs. 36,660. How much trouser material did he buy?
Solution:
Hasan bpys shirt and trouser in ratio 2 : 3
Let the ratio be x
He buys 2x m of the trouser and 3cc m of the shirt material
The cost of the shirt material
= Rs. 3x × 50 = Rs. 150x
The cost of the trouser meterial =Rs. 2x × 90 = Rs. 180x
The S.P of the shirt material
= Rs. 150x + 12% of 150x
= 150x + \(\frac{12}{100}\) × 150x = Rs. 168x
The S.P of the trouser material
= Rs. 180x + 10% of 180x
= 180x + \(\frac{10}{100}\) × 180x = 198x
According to, the question,
168x + 198x = 36,660
or, 366x = 36,660
or, x = \(\frac{36,660}{366}\) = 100.16
Then trouser material is bought by him = 200 m.

Question 8.
Half of a herd of deer are grazing in the field and three fourths of the remaining are playing nearby. The rest 9 are drinking water from the pond. Find the number of deer in the herd.
Solution:
Let the number of deer in the herd be x
Number of deer who grazing in the field
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) of x = \(\frac{x}{2}\)
Rest Number of deer
= x – \(\frac{x}{2}\) = \(\frac{x}{2}\)
Three fourths of the remaining
= \(\frac{3}{4}\) of \(\frac{x}{2}\) = \(\frac{3x}{8}\)
Rest = \(\frac{x}{2}\) – \(\frac{3x}{8}\)
9 = \(\frac{4x-3x}{8}\)
or, 9 = \(\frac{x}{8}\)
∴ x = 9 × 8 = 72
2nd Method
Total number of deer in the herd = x
Hints :
∴ x = \(\frac{x}{2}\) + \(\frac{3x}{8}\) + 9
= \(\frac{4x+3x+72}{8}\)
∴ x = \(\frac{7x+72}{8}\)
8x = 7x + 72
8x – 7x = 72
x = 72

Father’s present age = 3x years
Ten years ago son’s age = x – 10 years
Ten years ago father’s age = 3x – 10 years
According to the question
3x – 10 = 5 (x – 10)
or, 3x – 10 = 5x – 50
or, 3x – 5x = -50 + 10
or, -2x = -40
∴ x = 20
Therefore, Son’s present age = 20 years.
Father’s present age = 3 x 20 = 60 years.

Four years later Rahul’s age will be 5x + 4 years
Four years later Haroon’s age will be 7x + 4 years
According to the question
5x + 4 + 7x + 4 = 56
12x + 8 = 56
or, 12x = 56 – 8 = 48
x = \(\frac{48}{12}\) = 4
∴ Rahul’s present age = 5 × 4 = 20 years
Haroon’s present age = 7 × 4 = 28 years

Question 10.
The number of boys and girls in a class are in the ratio 7 : 5. The number of boys is 8 more than the number of girls. What is the total class strength ?
Solution:
Let the ratio be x.
The number of boys = 7x
The number of girls = 5x
According to the question
7x – 5x = 8
or, 2x = 8
∴ x = 4
Therefore number of boys = 7 × 4 = 28
The number of girls = 5 × 4 = 20
The total class strength = 28 + 20 = 48.

Question 11.
Baichung’s father is 26 years younger than Baichung’s grandfather and 29 years older than Baichung’s. The sum of the ages of all the three is 135 years. What is the age of each one of them?
Solution:
Let Baichung’s age be x years.
Baichung’s Father age
= x + 29 years
Baichung’s Grand father age
= x + 29 + 26
= x + 55 years.
The sum of the ages of all the three is 135 years
∴ x + x + 29 + x + 55 = 135
or, 3x + 84 = 135
or, 3x = 135 – 84 = 51
x = \(\frac{51}{3}\) = 17
Baichung’s age = 17 years
Baichung’s father age
= 17 + 29 = 46 years
Baichung’s grandfather age
= 17 + 55 = 72 years

Question 12.
Fifteen years from now Ravi’s age will be four times his present age. What is Ravi’s present age ?

According to the question
4x = x + 15
or, 4x – x =15
or, 3x = 15
∴ x = 5 years
Ravi’s present age = 5 years

Question 14.
Lakshmi is a cashier in a bank. She has currency notes of denominations Rs. 100, Rs. 50 and Rs. 10, respectively. The ratio of the number of these notes is 2:3:5. The total cash with Lakshmi is Rs. 4,00,000. How many notes of each denomination does she have ?
Solution:
Let the ratio be x
Number of Rs. 100 notes
= 2x
Value = Rs. 100 × 2x
= Rs. 200x
Number of Rs. 50 notes
= 3x
Value = Rs. 100 × \(\frac{3x}{2}\)
= Rs. 150x
(∵ Rs.50 notes = 3x, Rs. 100 notes = \(\frac{3x}{2}\))
Number of Rs. 10 notes = 5x
Value = Rs 100 × \(\frac{5x}{10}\) = 50x
According to the question
200x + 150x + 50x = 4,00,000
or, 400x = 4,00,000
x = 1000
Number of Rs. 100 notes
= 2 × 1000 = 2000
Number of Rs. 50 notes
= 3 × 1000 = 3000
Number of Rs. 10 notes
= 5 × 1000 = 5000

Question 15.
I have a total of Rs. 300 in coins of denomination Re. 1, Rs. 2 and Rs. 5. The number of Rs. 2 coins is 3 times the number of Rs. 5 coins. The total number of coins is 160. How many coins of each denomination are with me ?
Solution:
The total number of coins = 160
Let the number of Re. 1 coins be x
Value = Rs. x
Number of Rs. 5 coins be y (let)
Value = Rs. 5y
Number of Rs. 2 coins
= 3y
Value = Rs. 6y
∴ x + y + 3y = 160
x + 5y + 6y = 300
or, x + 4y = 160 …(i)
and x + lly = 300 … (ii)
Subtract (i) from (ii)
we get 7y = 140
y = 20
From (i) x + 4 × 20 = 160
x + 80 = 160
x = 160 – 80 = 80
Number of Re. 1 coins = 80
Number of Rs. 5 coins = 20
Number of Rs. 2 coins
= 3 × 20 = 60

Question 16.
The organisers of an essay competition decide that a winner in the competition gets a prize of Rs. 100 and a participant who does not win gets a prize of Rs. 25. The total prize money distributed is Rs. 3,000. Find the number of winners, if the total number of participants is 63.
Solution:
The total number of participants is 63.
Let the number of winner be x.
Winners get Rs. 100 x
Number of participants who does not win = 63 – x
They get Rs. (63 – x) × 25
According to the question
100x + (63 – x) × 35
= 3000
or, 100x + 1575 – 25x = 3000
or, 75x + 1575 = 3000
or, 75x = 3000-1575
or, 75x = 1425
or, x = \(\frac{1425}{75}\) ∴ 19
∴ Number of winners = 19

Question 1.
Solve the following equations:
1. x – 2 = 7
2. y + 3 = 10
3. 6 = z + 2
4. \(\frac{3}{7}\) + x = \(\frac{17}{7}\)
5. 6x = 12
7. \(\frac{2x}{3}\) = 18
8. 1.6 = \(\frac{y}{1.5}\)
9. 7x – 9 = 16
10. 14y – 8 = 13
11. 17 + 6P = 9
12. \(\frac{x}{3}\) + 1 = \(\frac{7}{15}\)
Solution:
1. x – 2 = 7
or x – 2 + 2 = 7 + 2 (adding 2 both sides)
∴ x = 9

2. y + 3 = 10
y + 3 – 3 = 10 – 3 (subtract 3 from both sides)
∴ y = 7

3. 6 = x + 2
6 – 2 = z + 2 – 2 (subtract 2 from both sides)
4 = z
∴ z = 4

4. \(\frac{3}{7}\) + x = \(\frac{17}{7}\)
x = \(\frac{17}{7}\) – \(\frac{3}{7}\) = \(\frac{14}{7}\) = 2
∴ x = 2

5. 6x = 12
or \(\frac{6x}{6}\) = \(\frac{12}{6}\) (divide both side by 6)
∴ x = 2

HBSE 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Linear Equations in One Variable Ex 2.1

6. \(\frac{t}{5}\) = 10
or \(\frac{t}{5}\) × 5 = 10 × 5 (multiply both sides by 5)
∴ t = 50

7. \(\frac{2x}{3}\) = 18
or 2x = 18 × 3
∴ x = \(\frac{18 \times 3}{2}\) = 9 × 3 = 27
∴ x = 27

8. 1.6 = \(\frac{y}{1.5}\)
or y = 1.6 × 1.5 = 2.40
∴ y = 2.4

9. 7x – 9 = 16
or 7x – 9 + 9 = 16 + 9 (adding 9 both sides)
or 7x = 25
∴ x = \(\frac{25}{7}\)

HBSE 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Linear Equations in One Variable Ex 2.1

10. 14y – 8 = 13
14y – 8 + 8 = 13 + 8 (adding 8 both sides)
or 14y = 21
or y = \(\frac{21}{14}\) = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
∴ y = \(\frac{3}{2}\)

11. 17 + 6P = 9
17 + 6P – 17 = 9 – 17 (subtract -17 from both sides)
or 6P = -8
or P = \(\frac{-8}{6}\) = \(\frac{-4}{3}\)
∴ P = \(\frac{-4}{3}\)

12. \(\frac{x}{3}\) + 1 = \(\frac{7}{15}\)
or \(\frac{x}{3}\) + 1 – 1 = \(\frac{7}{15}\) – 1 (subtract 1 from both sides)
or \(\frac{x}{3}\) = \(\frac{7-15}{15}\)
or \(\frac{x}{3}\) = \(\frac{-8}{15}\)
∴ x = \(\frac{-8}{15}\) × 3 = \(\frac{-8}{5}\)

Fire: Friend and Foe Translation in Hindi

Before you read
Fire is ………………. control it?
पढ़ने से पहले
आग दोनों महत्त्वपूर्ण और खतरनाक है। आग क्या? हमने – इसे कैसे खोजा? हम इसका कैसे नियंत्रण कर सकते हैं?

1. Early man……………….. was frightened.
आदमी नहीं जानता था कि आग क्या है पर उसने जरूर देखा होगा कि वह क्या नुकसान पहुँचा सकती है। उसने प्रदीप्ति और ज्वालामुखी को आग के प्रयोग से बहुत पहले देखा होगा। आग शक्तिशाली और खतरनाक थी इसलिए वह उससे डरता था।

Word Meaning: Damage-destruction = नुकसान, Watched-to look = देखना, Volcanoes-A conical hill which = ज्वालामुखी, Powerful having power = शक्तिशाली, Frightened-To be scared = डर, Lightning an electric clouds = प्रदीप्ति।

2. Fire may ………… ………….. call fire.
आग ने आदि मानव को शायद दुविधा में डाला होगा पर अब हमें मालूम है कि आग रासायनिक प्रतिक्रिया का नतीजा है। जब वातावरण में आक्सीजन, कार्बन और हाइड्रोजन ज्वलन पदार्थ में मिलती हैं, तो रासायनिक प्रक्रिया होती है। इस प्रक्रिया में उष्मा और रोशनी के रूप में ऊर्जा निकलती है। इसे ही हम आग कहते हैं।

Word Meaning: Puzzled-perplexity = दुविधा, Result-to come out = परिणाम, Chemical reaction-Relating to chemistry = रासायनिक प्रक्रिया, Combines-to join = मिलाना, Energy-Power to do work = ऊर्जा, Released-Given out = निकलना, Process–proceeding = fafel

3. Three things ………………………. is heat.
आग के लिए तीन चीजों की आवश्यकता है, ईंधन, आक्सीजन और ऊष्मा या ताप। लकड़ी, कोयला, खाना बनाने की गैस और पेट्रोल ईंधन के कुछ उदाहरण हैं। आक्सीजन वायुमंडल में पाई जाती है। इसलिए जब तुम मन्द-मन्द जलते कागज पर फूक मारते हो तो वह लपटों से जलने लगता है। आग के लिए तीसरी चीज ताप की आवश्यकता होती है।

Word Meaning: Fuel-Material for burning = ईंधन, Air-a kind of mixture of gases = वायु, Blow-stream of air = पूर्वक मारना, Smouldering-to burn in a suppressed manner = मन्द-मन्द जलना।

4. Fuel and ………………………….. the fuel.
इंधन और ऑक्सीजन अपने आप से नहीं जलते, नहीं तो अखबार या डंडा अपने आप से खुले में पड़े जलने लग जाते।
कागज या लकड़ी के टुकड़े को जलाने से पहले हमें गर्म करना पड़ता है। हम ज्यादातर जलती माचिस से ऐसा करते हैं। हर ईंधन का एक विशेष दहन ताप होता है जिस पर वह जलने लगता है। इस तापमान को अधिक बिन्दु या ईंधन का प्रज्वलित तापमान कहते हैं।

Word Meaning: Generally-mostly = अधिकतर, Flash Point-Transient condition = क्षणिक व्यवस्था।

5. It is …………………………. under control.
कई बार कहा जाता है कि आग एक अच्छा नौकर है पर बुरा मालिक। इसका आशय है कि आग बहुत उपयोगी है जब तक इसे नियंत्रण में रखा जाए।

Word Meaning: Sometimes-occasionly a कई बार, Useful-necessary = जरूरी, Control-limit = नियंत्रण।

6. For instance ………………… or injured.
उदाहरण के लिए हम इसका प्रयोग खाना बनाने के लिए, सर्दियों में घर को गर्म करने के लिए और बिजली उत्पन्न करने में करते हैं। पर दूसरी तरफ अगर आग नियंत्रण से बाहर चली जाए तब वह बहुत खतरनाक हो सकती है। हर वर्ष हजारों घर और दुकानें आग में नाश हो जाती हैं। विशाल वन क्षेत्र नष्ट हो जाता हैं और सैकड़ों लोग मारे जाते हैं और जख्मी हो जाते हैं।

Word Meaning: Instance-for example = उदाहरण, Generate-produce – उत्पन्न, Dangerous-perilous = खतरनाक, Damaged-destroyed = क्षति, Injured-get hurt = चोट पहुंचाना।

7.Just as ……………………… taken away.
जैसे आग शुरू करने के लिए तीन चीजों की आवश्यकता होती है, तीन प्रधान तरीके हैं जिससे हम आग को बुझा सकते हैं। तीनों में से एक तत्त्व जो जलने के लिए आवश्यक है, उसे हटा लो।

Word Meaning: Main-chief = प्रधान , Ways-methods = तरीके।

HBSE 7th Class English Solutions Honeycomb Chapter 8 Fire: Friend and Foe

8. For example…………………………… to it.
उदाहरण के लिए हम ईधन ले सकते हैं। अगर आग को जलने के लिए इंधन न मिले तो आग नहीं जल सकती। साधारण रूप से हम ज्यादातर आग पर और ज्यादा ईधन न डालकर बुझने देते हैं।

9. The second ……………… extinguish fire.
आग बुझाने का दूसरा तरीका है कि ऑक्सीजन को पहुंचने से रोकना। आक्सीजन की आपूर्ति के बिना आग संभव नहीं है हल्की आग को बुझा सकते हैं या दवा सकते हैं-गीले कम्बल या बोरे की सहायता से। यह आक्सीजन को ज्वलनशील पदार्थ तक पहुँचने के लिए रोकता है। कई बार कार्बनडाआक्साइड की सहायता से आग को बुझाया जाता है।

Word Meaning: Putting out-to stop fire from burning = आग को बुझाना, Supply-provide what is required = आपूर्ति, Smothered-dense shiffling smoke = धुआँ, Damp-wet = गीला, Extingush-to put off – बुझाना।

10. It does ……. ………………….. it out.
यह ऑक्सजीन को ज्वलनशील पदार्थ तक पहुँचने नहीं देती। आग को बुझाने का तीसरा तरीका है ताप को हटाना। अगर तापमान को ज्वलनशील बिंदु से नीचे लाएँ तो ईंधन जलना बंद हो जाता है। तुम जलती माचिस या मोमबत्ती को फूंक मारते हुए बुझाते हो।

Word Meaning: Material thing = तत्त्व, Temperature-Heat = तापमान।

11. In doing ………………… is extinguished.
ऐसा करने में तुम लौ के चारों तरफ की गर्म हवा को हटाते हो और ताप अपने इच्छित बिंदु से नीचे चला जाता है तथा मोमबत्ती बुझ जाती है। कई पर पानी का छिड़काव आग पर किया जाता है। यह जलते ईंधन से उष्मा को सोख लेता है और ताप कम हो जाता है। पानी से भीगा कंबल भी ऑक्सीजन की आपूर्ति को काट देता है और आग बुझ जाती है।

Word Meaning: Flame-blaze of fire = ज्वाला, Sprayed-To sprinkle = छिड़कना, Absorbs-to put off = बुझाना।

12. Some fires ……………………… the fire.
कई प्रकार की आग पानी से नहीं बुझ सकती। अगर पानी को तेल से उत्पन्न आग पर पानी का छिड़काव किया जाए तो तेल पानी के ऊपर तैरेगा और जलता रहेगा। यह बहुत खतरनाक हो सकता है क्योंकि पानी बहुत आसानी से बह सकता है और परिणामस्वरूप आग का विस्तार भी होगा। .

Word Meaning: Dangerous–perilous = खतरनाक, Spreading-To spread = फैलना।

13. Water should ……………. electrical fire.
बिजली के यंत्रों से लगी आग पर नहीं डालना चाहिए। पानी का छिडकाव करने वाले व्यक्ति को बिजली का झटका लग सकता है और उसकी मौत हो सकती है। विद्युत से लगी आग को बुझाने के लिए कार्बन डाइआक्साइड अग्निशामक का प्रयोग उपयुक्त रहेगा।

Word Meaning: Appliances-electrical equipment = बिजली के यंत्र,Electric shock-electric current = बिजली का झटका, Extinguisher-Aid for putting off fire = अग्निशामक, Electrical fire-Fire cause by electric current = बिजली से लगी आग।

HBSE 7th Class English Solutions Honeycomb Chapter 8 Fire: Friend and Foe

14. We spend ……….. everyday life.
हम हर वर्ष आग को बुझाने में लाखों रुपए खर्च करते हैं। और हम इससे भी अधिक आग को रोकने के लिए और उसके नियंत्रण से बाहर निकलने के लिए खर्च करते हैं। पूर्णतया हमने आग पर नियंत्रण करना और उसको हर रोज की जिन्दगी में अच्छे प्रयोग में लाना सीख लिया है।

Word Meaning: Millions-Ten lakhs = दस लाख, Prevent-To stop = रोकना, Happening– To take place = होना, Control-Command = नियंत्रण।

15. Long ago……………………….. fire risk.
बहुत समय पहले आग बुझाने वाले आदमी नहीं थे। जब आग लगती थी, तो सब लोग आग बुझाने वाले बन जाते थे। लोग मानव श्रृंखला बनाते थे। (वह जरूरत के समय अभी भी ऐसा करते हैं) और पानी की बाल्टी को कुएँ या तालाब से आग की लपटों तक पहुँचाते हैं। अब भवन का निर्माण के लिए नियम हैं जो इस बात का ध्यान रखते हैं कि इमारतों के बीच में आग के खतरे से बचने के लिए जगह छोड़ी जानी चाहिए।

Word Meaning: Fire-man-those who put out fire = आग बुझाने वाला, Human-chain-chain formed by joining hands of men = मानव श्रृंखला, Blaze-flame = आग की लपटें, Laws-rules and regulations = कानून, Construction-To build = निर्माण, Ensure-to make safe = सुनिश्चित करना, Reduce-Lesson = कम।

HBSE 7th Class English Solutions Honeycomb Chapter 8 Fire: Friend and Foe

16. Every new ……………………… out fires.
हर नई विशेषकर सार्वजनिक स्थान पर आग रोकने के सुरक्षित तरीके जरूर अपनाए जाते हैं। विशिष्ट साज-सामान के साथ आग बुझाने वाले कर्मचारियों के समूह को अग्निशमन-दस्ता कहते हैं।

Word Meaning: Especially-particular = विशेषकर, Public-pertaining to people = सार्वजनिक, Ensure-to make safe = सु नक्षित करना, Observance- to examine = निरीक्षण करना, Norms-laws = कानून, Band-group = समूह, Equipment-act of equipping = साज-समान, Firebrigade-A body of men trained for extinguishing fire = आग बुझाने में खतरनाक दीवार को ढहा देते हैं,

17. Fire fighters ………………….. of smoke.
आग बुझाने वाले पूर्ण रूप से निपुण होते हैं। उनके पास बहुत सारी कलाएँ हैं। वह बिजली की संचय आपूर्ति काट देते हैं, पानी का छिडकाव करते हैं और दूसरी चीजों के प्रयोग से आग बुझाते हैं। वे प्राथमिक चिकित्सा में निपुण होते हैं जिससे कि जलने से पीड़ित लोगों को धुएँ के प्रभाव से बचा सकें।

Word Meaning: Trained-Learned = निपुण, Possess-to have = पास में होना, Knock down-fall down = गिराना. First aid-medical treatment given before arrival of doctor = प्राथमिक चिकित्सा।

18. The discovery………………..of control.
आग की खोज और उसके प्रयोग ने आदि मानव को प्रकृति के साथ सुचारू रूप से जूझना और धीरे-धीरे स्थायी जीवन अपनाने के लिए तैयार किया। विश्व के कई भागों में आग की पूजा की जाती है। आग वास्तव में दोस्त है पर, जैसा कि हम जानते हैं, कि यह खतरनाक दुश्मन हो सकती हो जब यह नियंत्रण से बाहर हो जाए।

Word Meaning: Discover-to find = खोज, Gradually-slowly = धीरे-धीरे, Adopt-follow = अपनाना, Settled-to establish = स्थायी, Mode-way = तरीका, Control-check = नियंत्रण।

Fire: Friend and Foe Summary in English

Early man discovered fire by watching lightning and volcanoes. To him fire was powerful and dangerous. With time man learnt that fire is result of chemical reaction. Three things are needed to make fire fuel, oxygen and heat. Every fuel needs a minimum temperature to catch fire. Fire is both a good servant and a bad master. It can be both constructive as well as destructive. Similarly there are three main ways by which firecan be put off.

We can put off fire by taking away the fuel, stopping supply of oxygen and removing the heat. Water should not be used as a means of putting off fire in case of oil fire and fire caught due to electrical appliances. Millions of rupees are spent each year in fighting fire. Fire brigades ensure that fires can be prevented and laws about building construction are followed strictly. Fire is thus a necessary friend if kept under control.

Fire: Friend and Foe Summary in Hindi

आदि मानव ने आग की खोज प्रदीप्ति और ज्वालामुखी को देखकर की। उसके लिए आग शक्तिशाली और खतरनाक थी। समय के साथ आदमी ने सीखा कि आग रासायनिक प्रतिक्रिया का परिणाम है। आग उत्पन्न करने के लिए तीन चीजों की आवश्यकता होती है- ईंधन, आक्सीजन और ऊष्मा। प्रत्येक ईंधन को आग पकड़ने के लिए न्यूनतम ताप की आवश्यकता होती है। आग एक अच्छा सेवक पर बुरा मालिक साबित होती है। यह दोनों निर्माणकारी और विनाशकारी हो सकती है। इसी प्रकार तीन तरीके हैं जिससे आग को बुझा सकते हैं। हम ईंधन को हटा कर, ऑक्सीजन की आपूर्ति रोककर तथा उष्मा को हटा कर आग को बुझा सकते हैं। तेल से उत्पन्न आग और बिजली के यन्त्र से लगी आग को पानी से नहीं बुझाना चाहिए। आग से जूझने के लिए लाखों रुपए हर वर्ष खर्च किए जा रहे हैं। आग बुझाने वाली गाड़ियाँ (अग्निशमन दस्ते) यह सुनिश्चित करते हैं कि आग को रोका जा सकता है, और भवन निर्माण के नियमों का सुचारू रूप से पालन किया जाए। आग एक जरूरी दोस्त है अगर नियंत्रण में रखी जाए।
