Case study based questions
1. Nidhi and Ria are very close friends. Nidhi’s parents
own a Maruti Alto. Ria’s parents own a Toyota Liva.
Both the families decide to go for a picnic to Somnath
temple in Gujrat by their own cars.

2. Birla Science Museum is the first Science and
Technology Museum of the country, established in
1954. It houses exhibits and displays on science and
technology where visitors can interact with the exhibits
to make the understanding of science and technology
easy and entertaining. Birla Science Museum has set
aside a children’s room having planets and stars
painted on the ceiling. Suppose an imaginary (i) Find the distance between each pair of stars.
coordinate system is placed on the ceiling in the room (ii) Which star is farthest from the center of the room?
with the centre of the ceiling at (0, 0,). Three particular
stars are located at S(-10, 5) T( 3,- 8) and R(-7,-4) where
the coordinates represent the distance in feet from the
center of the room.
