Section E consists of 3 case study based questions of 4 marks each. 36.

Adventure camps are the perfect place for the children to practice
decision making for themselves without parents and teachers guiding
their every move. Some students of a school reached for adventure at
Sakleshpur. At the camp, the waiters served sonte students with a
welcome drink in a cylindrical glass and some students in a hemispherical
cup whose dimensions are shown below. After that they went for a jungle
trek. The jungle trek was enjoyable but tiring. As dusk fell, it was time to
take shelter. Each group of four students was given a canvas of area 551
m2. Each group had to make a conical tent to accommodate all the four
students. Assuming that all the stitching and wasting incurred while
cutting, would amount to 1 m2, the students put the tents. The radius of
the tent is 7 m.
