Answer:

Question 3.
Convert the tree diagram into a numeric expression.

Answer:
(10 × 5) + (9 × 4)

(ii)

Available roots	Time taken
(a) A → B → C → D → E	7 + 5 + 3 + 6 = 21 hrs
(b) A → B → D → E	7 + 4 + 6  = 17 hrs
(c) A → B → C → E	7 + 5 + 8 = 20 hrs

Shortest route ⇒ A → B → D → E

Question 5.

Fibonacci Squares

Question 6.
When you plan to buy a shirt, one shop offers a discount of ₹ 200 on MRP ₹ 1000 and another shop offers 15% discount on the same MRP. Where would you buy?
Answer:

Activity (Text Book Page No. 250)

Using the given Table I, find the pattern, answer the following questions and colour the values in the given Table Il. One is done for you.
Table – 1

Question 1.
Where are the even Fibonacci Numbers?
Colour both the term n and where F(n) is even in yellow.
Do you find any pattern?
Every Third Fibonacci number is a multiple of 2(even).
Answer:
i.e., a multiple of F(3) or 2 = F(3)

Question 2.
Where there are Fibonacci numbers which are multiple of 3?
Colour both the term n and where F(n) is multiple of 3 in red.
Write down the pattern you find
Every 4^th Fibonacci number is a multiple of 3.
Answer:
i.e., a multiple of F(4) or 3 = F(4)

Question 3.
What about the multiple of 5?
Colour both the term n and where F(n) is multiple of 5 in blue. ‘
Write down the pattern you find.
Every …………………………… i.e ………………………………
Answer:
Every 5^th Fibonacci number i.e a multiple of F(5) or 5 = F(5)

Question 4.
What about the multiple of 8?
Colour both the term n where F(n) is multiple of 8 in green.
Write down the pattern you find.
Every …………………………… i.e ………………………………
Answer:
Every 6^th Fibonacci number i.e a multiple of F(6) or 8 = F(6)

Table 2.

From the above activity, we conclude that
Every Fibonacci number is a factor of (a term number of) Fibonacci numbers in multiples

From the above table, we get a general rule as Every k^th Fibonacci number is a multiple of F(k).

Code 1: Pigpen

I. Fill in the blank boxes and decode
The Pigpen code looks like meaningless writing, but it is quite easy to catch on to. Each letter is represented by the part of the “Pigpen” that surrounds it.
The first code uses the following key. To complete the code, you need to work out how to use the key to decode the message.

Answer:

To decode

Code 2: Polybius Square Cipher

II. Fill in the blanks
A Polybius Square is a table that allows someone to convert letters into numbers. Use the Polybius square rows and column values to find the code

Answer:
Using this a set of numbers can be used to denote a letter and vise versa
(4, 2) represent T, (3, 4) represent H, (5, 5) represent E
Likewise, when we solve for the remaining. we get
THE NAME OF TREASURE DOES NOT HAVE BAND D .
Since clue 2 gives that the treasure item does not have the letters b & d, therefore “exam pad” & “geometry box” cannot be the treasure item.
Hence, the treasure item is “gift voucher”

Code 3: Atbash Cipher
III. Find the code using the key as shown in given figure:
Atbash cipher is a substitution cipher with just one specific key where all the letters are reversed that is A to Z and Z to A.

Answer:
The given Cipher is:
GSV ILLN MFNYVI RH Z NFOGRKOV LU ULFI ZMW HVEVM
Decoded Message:
THE ROOM NUMBER IS A MULTIPLE OF FOUR AND SEVEN
Since room number is a multiple of 4 & 7,
The room number is 4 × 7 = 28.

Code 4: Using a Key – Reflection Table
IV Use the reflection table which is given below and find the correct word by using a reflected alphabet.

J V A Q B J – _______
P B Z C H G R E G N O Y R – _______
P U N V E – ________
P H O O B N E Q – ________
Answer:
J V A Q B J – WINDOW
P B Z C H G R E G N O Y R – COMPUTER TABLE
P U N V E – CHAIR
P H O O B N E Q – CUPBOARD

After finding the codes, the teacher then asks students to rearrange the clues one by one
CLUES
1. ————————————————-
2. ————————————————-
3. ————————————————-
4. ————————————————-
Answer:
The 4 clues are:
1. Water bottle, Gift voucher, Exam pad, Geometry box
2. The name of the treasure does not have b’ & ‘d’
3. The room is a multiple of four and seven – 28
4. Window, Computer table, Chair, Cupboard

RESULT
(i) The room in which the treasure took place = ________ .
(ii) The place of the treasure = ________ .
(iii) The identity of the treasure = ________ .
(Hint:- If you answered the question number 6 in Exercise 4.3, you can compare and verify your results) The gift voucher contains (20 full marks awarded).
Answer:
The room in which the treasure took place = 28
The place of treasure = Chair
Identity of treasure = Gift voucher.

Question 1.
Use Pigpen Cipher code and write the code for your name _______ and your chapter names
(i) LIFE MATHEMATICS
(ii) ALGEBRA
(iii) GEOMETRY
(iv) INFORMATION PROCESSING
Answer:
For Pigpen, we should first construct the Criss Cross pattern & then fill with alphabets.
Step 1:

Step 2: Fill the above with all the alphabets from A to Z.

Step 3: So, the secret code is got by the outline of each letter in the above patterns.

similarly for all the others. Therefore pigpen code is


Let us now write the given words with Pigpen code.

Question 2.
Decode the following Shifting and Substitutmg secret codes given below. Which one is easier for you?
(i) Shifting method:- M N S G H M F HR H L O N R R H A K D

Answer:
Decode using shifting method. Let us shift & see by trial & error method.
Let us substitute ‘b’ for ‘a’, ‘e’ for ‘b’ & so on

Message : M N S G H M F H R H L O N R R H A K D
Decoded text : NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

We find that Pigpen code has been used, by substituting for the symbols from the table that we constructed earlier, we go the message.
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

Question 3.
Write a short message to a friend and get them to decipher it.(Use any one shifting and substituting code method)
Answer:
Student can choose and tr on their own.
