Given, the average age of children 12 years and 3 months
1 year = 365 days = 365 \(\times\) 24 h [ 1 day = 24 h ]
= 365 \(\times\) 24 \(\times\) 3600 s [ 1 h = 36000 s]
12 years = 31536000 s \(\times\)12 = 378432000 s
3 months = 30 \(\times\) 3 days = 30 \(\times\) 3 \(\times\) 24 h = 30 \(\times\) 3 \(\times\) 24 \(\times\) 3600s = 7776000s

The animals in forests are of various types. These could be herbivores, carnivores, microorganisms, etc. These play an important role in maintaining the food chains.

(ii) The animals also help in dispersing the seeds of certain plants.
(iii) The decaying animal dung provides nutrients.
All these activities of animals dwelling in the forest help it to grow and regenerate.

(v) Amount of precipitation received or rainfall.
55.
A cockroach has small opening on the side of its body. These openings are called spiracles. Insects have a network or air tubes called tracheae for gas exchange, oxygen rich air rushes through spiracles into the tracheal tubes, diffuses into the body tissues and reaches every cell of the body. Similarly carbon dioxide from the cells goes into the tracheal tubes and moves out through spiracles. These air tubes or tracheae are found only in insects
56.

(i) Left overfood contains lot of oil and fat, it should not be thrown down the drain. They choke the pipe when they become harden. These waste when thrown in open drains block the oil pores thereby decreasing its effectiveness to filter water. Such wastes should be thrown in dustbin only.
(ii) Solid wastes such as used tea leaves, plastic bags, soft toys, cotton and sanitary towels should not be thrown in drains. Such wastes block the drain. They reduce free flow of oxygen and thus slow down the process of degradation.
(iii) Chemical products like medicines, motor oil, paint, machine oil and insecticide should also be not thrown down the drain. These substances kill water purifying organisms and hamper degradation.
58.
When current is passed through a coil of wire then the coil behaves like a magnet. One end of coil acts as north pole and other end acts as south pole When the electric current is swithed off, the coil generally loses its magnetism. Such coils are called electromagnets. The electromagnets are very strong and their power can be increased so they are very important.
Two important applications (uses)of electromagnets are:
(i)They are used in electric bells, telegraphs telephones and speakers etc
(ii) They are used in cranes to lift heavy loads of scrap iron or iron sheets
59.
(i) Actually, millions of people in our country do not get enough water. Especially during summer, in many areas there is an acute shortage of water, taps running dry, long queues for water and even fight for demand of water in a common sight.
(ii) Causes: Due to less amount of rainfall in some areas, not only water bodies like ponds, rivers become dry also due to excess extraction of ground water, water table goes down.
Remedies: Public and government both should be concern and show awareness towards this crisis. By drip irrigation system and water harvesting technique, we cannot only save water from wastage but also recharge ground water.
(iii) In these areas of hot dry and arid climate the studies of children are badly affected.
60.
Cyclones can be very destructive as they travel over seas at 15-30 km/h and the strong winds push water towards the shore even when the storm is hundreds of kilometres away. This is actually the first indication of an approaching cyclone. The central low pressure area lifts the water surface in the centre to a height of 3 - 12 metres and it appears like a water wall moving towards the shore. As a result seawater enters and floods the low lying coastal areas causing loss of life and property. This reduces the fertility of the soils also. Since cyclones are accompanied by heavy rainfall, it further worsens the flood situation. In addition, the communication system, livestock, trees, buildings, bridges and many other man-made structures are also damaged by high speed wind.
61.
A-Septum between right and left side of heart. It prevents mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
B-Left ventricle,which pumps oxygenated blood to body parts.
C-Aorta is the main artery emerging from left ventricle. It gives rise to other arteries which carry blood to different body parts.
D-Left auricles, which receives oxygenated blood from lungs and pushes it into left ventricle.
E-Pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood from lungs to left auricle.
62.
The forest acts as a natural absorber of rain water and allows it to seep. It helps to maintain the water table throughout the year. Forests not only helps in controlling floods but also help to maintain the flow of water in the streams so that we get a steady supply of water. On the other hand, if trees are not present rain hits the ground directly and may flood the area around it. Heavy rain may also damage the soil. Roots of trees normally bind the soil together, but in their absence the soil is washed away or eroded.
63.
(i) Time in minutes on x-axis and speed in m/min on y-axis.

(b) When the object is between F and radius lens, the image is real, inverted but bigger in size.

(c) When the object is near to the lens. The image is real, inverted and much bigger (magnified).

65.
The particles of water become more lighter and rise up in the middle. Due to this, the cold particles of water which are heavier come down along the sides of the vessel. So, the convection currents of heat are setup and water becomes hot. The moment, when the heat is applied at the top, then the water present in the upper portion becomes hot and these hot water molecules get fixed over the surface. Since, water is a bad conductor of heat, due to which water present at the lower end (or bottom) of the vessel remains.
66.
In first saree, one thread which burnt with a smell of burning hair is from pure silk, silk and hair are protein fibres. So, on burning these threads, a smell of burning hair comes out. In second saree, second thread which burnt with the smell of burning cotton and paper because cotton and paper both are carbohydrates and on burning they give similar smell.

(c) He is sincere and curious to know about the things at an early age.
70.
The process by which green plants can prepare their own food is called photosynthesis. Green plants possess chlorophyll in their leaf and utilises carbon dioxide (from air) water, minerals (from soil, through root) as raw material and sunlight as source of energy and convert light energy into chemical energy. The food thus synthesied is in the form of starch (carbohydrate). The overall reaction for photosynthesis can be given as follows:

71.
