His outlook is one of that's okay with me whatever it is/' If he is right about an issue, he becomes elated with himself If it is revealed that lie is wrong, that's okay too. He never gets hungry never has bills to pay never gets tired and never sleeps. You see, Archie is a puppet.He plays many roles. One day, he's a baseball player. Another day he's a South American bandit, a leader of the parade or a stock broker. Sometimes, he's a teacher, trying to teach what he doesn't know. Other times, he's a student, trying not to be taught. He seldom gets his facts straight or understands how to conduct himself. Most of what he says has little or no value. But, he doesn't care.

Essay ConstructionA Scene in an Examination HallExamination is a terror and a curse. It is a very dreadful experience one goes through. Great scholars have said: "We have been examiners as well as examinees. We can well understand how terrible an examination is/ Even Jesus Christ said, "Let no one be put to test.The fear of examination mars the charms of students life. Life in itself is a huge test and we are always put to trial in one form or the other. No one is spared and I was no exception.I was in the examination hall and English paper was before me. The very first and second questions made me nervous. I raised my head and saw all were tensed. There was pin-drop silence in the hall. Then all of us started attempting the paper somehow. Those who had been working hard were doing the paper well and calmly. Those who had been cramming were heaving deep sighs. The clever among them were looking for an opportunity to cheat and copy.I have heard the teachers are supposed to be impartial and honest but I found that those who had been posted to prevent the candidates from using unfair means, were themselves becoming a part of it. Such things will make coming generations educated illiterates and I doubt how our coming generations, can progress when both the teachers and the taught were taking to unfair means.Soon the time of examination was over. The bell rang and the teachers started collecting the answer sheets. One could see joy on the faces of those who had attempted the paper brilliantly but sorrow on the faces of those who had not studied and failed to attempt the paper properly.The Children's DayOur first Prime Minister Shri Jawaharlal Nehru or Chacha Nehru was very fond of children. His birthday falls on 14th November. So in his memory his birthday is celebrated as Children's Day. On this day, the schools and colleges remain closed, so that the children can enjoy this day to the fullest.Chacha Nehru adored children, he himself used to become a child while playing with them. Pandit Nehru used to set free white pigeons on his birthday: The number of pigeon depended on the age of Pandit Nehru. He used to set them free in the football stadium where the school children used to organize songs and dances in his honour.Now-a-days this day is mostly celebrated in schools too.

Fractions
Fractions
Fraction is a number, which in used to represent the part of a whole. It is expressed in the form of \[\frac{P}{Q}\] where P and Q are natural numbers. The upper part of the fraction is called numerator and the lower part is denominator. For \[\frac{5}{9}\] is a fraction, where 5 is numeration and 9 is denominator.
Example:
Represent the shaded part of the figure as a fraction.
Solution:
\[\frac{1}{4}\]
Like Fraction
The fractions, which have the same denominators are called like fractions.
Example:
\[\frac{5}{17},\frac{8}{17},\frac{12}{17},\frac{19}{17}\] are like fractions
Unlike Fraction
The fractions, which do not have the same denominators, in other words, the fractions with different denominators are called unlike fractions.
Example:
\[\frac{8}{9},\frac{4}{13},\frac{9}{8},\frac{10}{12}\] are unlike fractions.
Unit Fraction
The fractions which have the numerator 1 are called unit fractions.
Example:
\[\frac{1}{3},\frac{1}{5},\frac{1}{8},\frac{1}{15}\] are unit fractions.
Proper Fraction
If the numerator of a fraction is smaller than the denominator, the fraction is called proper fraction.
Example:
\[\frac{5}{7},\frac{7}{9},\frac{4}{15},\frac{9}{16}\] are proper fractions.
Improper Fraction
If the numerator of a fraction is greater than the denominator, the fraction is called improper fraction.
Example:
\[\frac{178}{128},\frac{321}{65},\frac{712}{100}\] are improve fractions.
Mixed Fraction
Mixed fraction is the sum of a whole number and a proper fraction. Both the whole number and the fraction are written together, but the sign of the addition (+) does not appear between them.
Example:
\[4\frac{5}{7},9\frac{1}{3},7\frac{8}{12},8\frac{6}{13}\] are mixed fractions.
Equivalent Fractions
Two or more fractions are said to be equivalent fractions/ if they have the same value. In other words, when equivalent fractions are reduced into their simplest form, they give the same fraction.
Example:
The equivalent fractions of \[\frac{8}{13}\] are \[\frac{16}{26},\frac{24}{39},\frac{32}{52}.\]
Comparison of Unit Fractions
If the numerators of two fractions are same and their denominators are different, then the fractions having smaller denominator will be the greater one. To take an example, \[\frac{1}{P}\] and \[\frac{1}{Q}\] are unit fractions where P and Q are natural numbers. If Q < P then \[\frac{1}{P}<\frac{1}{Q}.\]
Example:
Compare between \[\frac{1}{13}\] and \[\frac{1}{15}.\] Which fraction is greater than other?
Solution:
\[\frac{1}{13}\]>\[\frac{1}{15}\]
Because 13 < 15, therefore \[\frac{1}{13}\]>\[\frac{1}{15}\].
Comparison of Like Fractions
Like fractions have same denominator. The fraction which more...
Operation on Fractions
Operation on the Fractions
In the previous chapter, we have studied about the fractions. In this chapter we will study operations on the fractions, like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on fractions.
Addition of Fractions
Make the denominator of fractions same by multiplying a suitable number of the numerator and denominator of both fractions. The common denominator is the denominator of the resultant fraction and addition of numerators is the numerator of the resultant fraction.
Example
Add \[\frac{12}{16}\] and \[\frac{13}{16}.\]
Solution:
\[\frac{12}{16}\,+\,\frac{13}{16}\,=\,\frac{12+13}{16}\,=\,\frac{25}{16}\]
Example
Add \[\frac{10}{9}\] and \[\frac{9}{10}.\]
Solution:
\[\frac{10}{9}\,=\,\frac{10}{9}\,\times \,\frac{10}{10}\,=\,\frac{100}{90}\]
\[\frac{9}{10}\,=\,\frac{9}{10}\,\times \,\frac{9}{9}\,=\,\frac{81}{90}\]
Therefore, their sum = \[\frac{10}{90}\,+\,\frac{81}{90}\,=\,\frac{100+81}{90}\,=\,\frac{181}{90}\]
Subtraction of Fractions
Make the denominator of each fraction same by multiplying a suitable number to the numerator and denominator of both fractions. The common denominator is the denominator of resultant fraction and result of numerators after subtraction is the numerator of the resultant fraction.
Example
Subtract \[\frac{23}{27}\] from \[\frac{30}{27}.\]
Example
Subtract \[\frac{16}{17}\] from \[\frac{18}{19}.\]
Solution:
\[\frac{16}{17}\,=\,\frac{16\times 19}{17\times 19}\,=\,\frac{304}{323}\]
\[\frac{18}{19}\,=\,\frac{18\times 17}{19\times 17}\,=\,\frac{306}{323}\]
Therefore, difference \[=\,\frac{306}{323}\,-\,\frac{304}{323}\,=\,\frac{2}{323}\]
Multiplication of Fractions
Numerator is multiplied to numerator and denominator is multiplied to denominator on multiplication of any two fractions.
Example
Find the product of \[\frac{13}{20}\] and \[\frac{16}{19}.\]
Solution:
\[\frac{13}{20}\times \frac{16}{19}\,=\,\frac{13\times 16}{20\times 19}\,=\,\frac{208}{380}\]
Example
Find the product of \[\frac{23}{15}\] and \[\frac{175}{207}.\]
Solution:
\[\frac{23}{25}\times \frac{175}{207}\,=\,\frac{23\times 175}{25\times 207}\,=\,\frac{7}{9}\,\]
\[\{\because \,23\,\times \,9\,=\,207\,and\,25\,\times \,7\,=\,175\}\,\]
Multiplication of a fraction and a Whole number
Simply, numerator of a fraction is multiplied by a whole number and denominator remains same as the denominator of a fraction.
Example
Find the product of \[\frac{26}{15}\] and 22.
Solution:
\[\frac{26}{15}\,\times \,22\,=\,\frac{26\times 22}{15}\,=\,\frac{572}{15}\]
Example
Find the product of 25 and \[\frac{127}{140}.\]
Solution:
\[25\times \,\frac{127}{140}\,=\,\frac{25\times 127}{140}\,=\,\frac{635}{28}\]
Division of Fractions
For division of fractions, we use following steps:
Step 1: Reverse the order of divisor fraction so that denominator becomes numerator and numerator becomes denominator and put the sign of multiplication in place of division.
Step 2: Multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator.
Example
Divide \[\frac{15}{28}\] by \[\frac{15}{28}\]
Solution:
\[\frac{15}{28}\,\div \,\frac{7}{3}\,=\,\frac{15}{28}\,\times \,\frac{3}{7}\,=\,\frac{45}{196}\]
Example
Divide \[\frac{20}{33}\] by \[\frac{5}{11}.\]
Solution:
\[\frac{20}{33}\,\div \,\frac{5}{11}\,=\,\frac{20}{33}\,\times \,\frac{4}{3}\]
