GSEB Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 10 Visualizing Solid Shapes Exercise 10.2

Question 1. Look at the given map of a city and answer the following.
(a) Colour the map as follows: Blue-water, red-fire station, orange-library, yellow-schools, Green-park, Pink-College, Purple-Hospital, Brown-Cemetery.
(b) Mark a green 'X' at the intersection of Road 'C' and Nehru Road, Green ‘Y' at the intersection of Gandhi Road and Road A.
(c) In red, draw a short street route from library to the bus depot.
(d) Which is further east, the city park or the market?
(e) Which is further south, the primary school or the Sr. Secondary School?
Answer:
(a) To properly color the map, all water bodies (like the Lake) should be colored blue. The fire station needs to be red, the library orange, and both the primary and senior secondary schools yellow. Green should be used for the park areas. If there is a college shown, it should be pink, the hospital purple, and the cemetery brown. The provided solution map visibly shows these specific areas filled with the colors requested.
(b) To mark 'X' and 'Y' accurately: A green 'X' should be placed at the point where Road 'C' and Nehru Road meet. A green 'Y' should be placed at the point where Gandhi Road and Road A cross each other. The solution map clearly shows these two markings.
(c) To draw the street route: A short path, marked in red, should be drawn to connect the library to the bus depot. The solution map illustrates a distinct red line showing this connection.
(d) The city park is further east than the market.
(e) The Senior Secondary school is further south than the primary school.
In simple words: For the first three parts, you need to follow instructions to color and mark the map. For part (d), the city park is to the east of the market. For part (e), the senior secondary school is to the south of the primary school.

Exam Tip: Always carefully examine the map and all instructions to correctly identify locations and follow the coloring or marking directives. Pay close attention to directional terms like 'east' and 'south' for positional questions.
