Question

During the summer break , Raghu went to his grandmother’s house in a village . One day when he was walking around the fields , he saw an old farmer irrigating his field of length 90m and breadth 40m using pipe . After some time, Raghu have seen that the farmer was tired and sitting on the ground putting his head down and still one - fourth of the field was left to be irrigated . He immediately went to him and helped him irrigate the remaining field . The old farmer was happy and thanked Raghu.

1. Find the area of the field.
2. How much field was irrigated by Raghu?
3. Which value is reflected by Raghu?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The area of the field can be calculated as the product of its length and breadth:

Area of the field = Length x Breadth = 90m x 40m = 3600 sq. m.

One-fourth of the field was left to be irrigated when Raghu saw the old farmer. So the area of the field left to be irrigated was:

1/4 x Area of the field = 1/4 x 3600 sq. m. = 900 sq. m.

Raghu helped the old farmer irrigate the remaining one-fourth of the field, which is 900 sq. m.

The value reflected by Raghu is kindness and helpfulness. When he saw that the old farmer was tired and struggling to irrigate the entire field, he voluntarily offered his help and completed the task. This shows his empathy and willingness to help others, which are important values in life.
