CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS
Section C consists of 10 questions of 1 mark each. Any 8 questions are to be attempted

CASE STUDY QUESTION 1

Archery is one of the oldest arts still practiced. This history of archery will not only take you through a journey
on the evolution of archery, but also through the history of mankind. Evidence of ancient archery has been
found throughout the world. The earliest evidence of archery dates to the late Paleolithic period, around 10,000
BC, when the Egyptian and neighbouring Nubian cultures used bows and arrows archery for the purposes of
hunting and warfare. In China, archery dates back to the Shang dynasty (1766-1027 BC). A war chariot of that
time carried a three-man team: driver, lancer and archer. During the ensuing Zhou (Chou) dynasty (1027-256
BC), nobles at court attended sport archery tournaments that were accompanied by music and interspersed with
elegant salutations.

Picture depicts an archery target with its five scoring region Yellow, Red, Blue, Black and white. The
diameter of a yellow region is 14 cm and each of the other band is 7 cm wide.

Q41. Find the area of blue region.

a) 1386 sq cm b) 1540 sq cm c) 770 sq cm d) None of these

Q42. If the angle between two hands (arrows) is 84°,then find the area of red region between two hands
(arrows).

CASE STUDY QUESTION 2

A cricket field is a large grass field on which the game of cricket is played. Although generally oval in shape,
there is a wide variety within this: some are almost perfect circles, some elongated ovals and some entirely
irregular shapes with little or no symmetry – but they will have entirely curved boundaries, almost without
exception. There are no fixed dimensions for the field but its diameter usually varies between 450 feet (137 m)
and 500 feet (150 m). Cricket is unusual among major sports in that there is no official rule for a fixed-shape
ground for professional games. On most grounds, a rope demarcates the perimeter of the field and is known as
the boundary.
Q46. What is the distance BV.
a) 2√41 b) 4√41 c) √165 d) None of these

Q47. What is the mid point of CV.

b) Positive y-axis
c) Negative x-axis
d) Negative y-axis
