A drunkard walking in a narrow lane take...

A drunkard walking in a narrow lane takes 5 steps forward and 3 steps backward, followed again by 5 steps forward and 3 steps backward, and so on. Each step is 1 m long and requires 1 s. Plot the x-t graph of his motion. Determine graphically and otherwise how long the drunkard takes to fall in a pit 13 m away from the start.

Let us do the following activity to understand the mendelian principles of heredity. Materaials required: a. 3cm length and 1 cm breadth chart pieces -4 b. 2 cm length and 1 cm breadth chart pieces -4 c. Red byuttons -4 d. white buttons -4 e. chart, scale, sketch pen penil, 2 bags. Method: Prepare a chart with 2x2 boxes along with numbe and symbol as shown in the figure. Game 1: Monohybrid cross (starting with hybrid parents) To start with take 1,2 or 3,4 . In case you start 1,2 pik all the 16 log and short pieces and prepare such paris in each of which you have a long and short piece. Take 4 pairs each of long and short strips and put them in two separate bags. Now each bag contains 8 strips (4 long and 4short). One bag say 'A' represents mael and the bag 'B' represents female . Now rendomly pick one strip each from bag A and B and put them together in the 1 on the chart. Keep picking out the strips and arrange them in the same manner till your bags are empty. Same time your boxes in the chart are filled with paris of strips. you might have got the following combinations, two long strips, one long and one short strip, two short strips. (Q) A. what is the number of long strip paris?
