Question 1

The Ashoka chakra is a depiction of Dharma chakra, a wheel represented with 24 spokes. It is so called because it appears on a number of edicts of Ashoka. Most prominent among which is the lion capital of Ashoka. It is most visible in the middle of the flag of India. This is also India’s highest peace time military decoration awarded for valour, courageous action or self -sacrifice.

On the occasion of Independence Day, the students of our school made a huge flag with Ashoka chakra in the middle on the ground using flowers, colours and ribbons. The spokes and outer edge of the chakra was made by ribbon. The length of the ribbon used in the outer edge (circumference) was 440 cm.

Based on your understanding of the above case study, answer all the five questions below

1. What is the radius of each spoke?

2. What is the angle between two consecutive spokes?

3. What is the total length of the ribbon used here for spokes and circumference?

4. The area on the ground between two consecutive spokes is approximately?

5. What will be the cost of flowering the total area inside the chakra at the rate of rupees 200 per m2?
