 VALUE BASED QUESTION
SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT
The money gets doubled with each passing day.
On 13th day, the toybank gets pull.
The distance between the sun and earth
So, on 12th day it was half-full. = 1.496 × 1011 m
The distance between the earth and moon
= 3.84 × 108 m
The distance between the two
= (1.496 × 1011 – 3.84 × 108) m
= (1496.00 × 108 – 3.84 × 108) m
= 1492.16 × 108 m
= 1.492 × 1011 m
