The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statements are true or false, let's analyze each one step by step. ### Statement (a): **Geeta wants to raise a boundary wall around her house. For this, she must find the area of the land of her house.** 1. **Understanding the requirement**: Geeta wants to build a boundary wall around her house. 2. **Identifying the measurement needed**: To build a wall around a house, we need to know the distance around the house, which is called the perimeter. 3. **Defining area vs. perimeter**: - **Area** refers to the space contained within the boundaries of a shape (like the total land area of her house). - **Perimeter** refers to the total distance around the shape (the length of the boundary wall). 4. **Conclusion**: Since Geeta needs to build a wall around her house, she must find the perimeter, not the area. Therefore, this statement is **False**. ### Statement (b): **A person preparing a track to conduct sports must find the perimeter of the sports ground.** 1. **Understanding the requirement**: A track is being prepared for sports, which typically runs around the sports ground. 2. **Identifying the measurement needed**: To create a track around the sports ground, we need to know the distance around it, which is the perimeter. 3. **Conclusion**: Since the track is along the boundary of the sports ground, the person must find the perimeter. Therefore, this statement is **True**. ### Final Answers: - Statement (a): **False** - Statement (b): **True**
