In the storyboard you read about how Helen hopes to make a movie on the Adivasi story. Can
you help her by developing a short story on Adivasis?
D and E are the mid-points of the sides AB and AC of ∆ABC and O is any point on
side BC. O is joined to A. If P and Q are the mid-points of OB and OC respectively,
then DEQP is
(A) a square (B) a rectangle
(C) a rhombus (D) a parallelogram
Imagine that you are watching the Republic Day parade on TV with a friend and she remarks,
“Look at these tribals. They look so exotic. And they seem to be dancing all the time”. List three
things that you would tell her about the lives of Adivasis in India.
The figure obtained by joining the mid-points of the sides of a rhombus, taken in order, is
(A) a rhombus (B) a rectangle
(C) a square (D) any parallelogram
If APB and CQD are two parallel lines, then the bisectors of the angles APQ, BPQ, CQP and PQD form
(A) a square (B) a rhombus
(C) a rectangle (D) any other parallelogram
If bisectors of ∠A and ∠B of a quadrilateral ABCD intersect each other at P, of
∠B and ∠C at Q, of ∠C and ∠D at R and of ∠D and ∠A at S, then PQRS is a
(A) rectangle (B) rhombus (C) parallelogram
(D) quadrilateral whose opposite angles are supplementary
You are participating in a debate where you have to provide reasons to support the following
statement: ‘Muslims are a marginalised community’. Using the data provided in this chapter, list
two reasons that you would give.
If angles A, B, C and D of the quadrilateral ABCD, taken in order, are in the ratio 3:7:6:4, then ABCD is a
(A) rhombus (B) parallelogram (C) trapezium (D) kite
