  • Twenty caravans are travelling across the desert one day apart. The first caravan reached the oasis and the camels drank half of the water in the pool. On the Second day, the second caravan reached the oasis and the camels drank one-third of the water that was left. On the third day, the camels in the third caravan drank one quarter of the water that was left. On the first day the pool contained 1050m3 of water. How much water was left after the 20th caravan passed through. Hint: Observe the pattern and calculate.

  •  CCT question:-

  • Water is the basic necessity of all life. In recent years , people are facing severe

  • water shortage due to various factors . Srihari , a student of class VIII observed
    the usage pattern of water at his home. On normal days the daily supply of
    water was 1200 litres and all of it was used up. In summer, the Water Board of
    the city decreased the amount supplied daily to only 1000 litres per household.
    He realised that the only way to solve water crisis is to manage whatever water
    is available as the supply of water will be limited. He made a study of the
    amount of water used for various purposes in his house and came out with a
    data as follows.
    Then he would analyse how to save or minimise wastage of water.

  • Now answer the following questions:-

  • (A). For which purpose Srihari’s family is using up maximum water among the data given?

  • (B) Srihari found that 12% of water was getting leaked through different taps on a normal day. By fixing leaking taps, one could save water. How many litres would he save?

  • (C) During summer when the water supply is reduced to only 1000 litres per day, What is the volume of water his family needs for :
    i) Shower

  • ------------------------------------

  • ii) Faucet (taps in kitchen , hand wash etc)

  • --------------------------------------------

  • (D). What is the central angle for the part shown as ‘shower’ in the pie chart?

  • ------------------------------------------------------

  • (E). Water management involves recycling of water which can be re used for other purposes like gardening, cleaning floor or outdoors. If water used for washing clothes and faucet were recycled during summer how many litres of water would be available?
