Mensuration Formulas for 3D Figures

8. Mensuration Formulas for CUBOID

In the following formulae, l = length, b = breadth and h = height

Total surface area of cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + lh)

Length of diagonal of cuboid= √(l²+b²+h²)

Volume of cuboid = l × b × h

9. Mensuration Formulas for CUBE

In the following formulae, a = side of a cube

Volume of cube = a³

Total surface area of cube = 6a²

Length of Leading Diagonal of Cube = a√3

10. Mensuration Formulas for CONE

In the following formulae, r = radius of base, l = slant height of cone and h = height of the cone (perpendicular to base)

15. Mensuration Formulas for FRUSTUM OF A RIGHT CIRCULAR CONE

Frustum is created when a plane cuts a cone parallel to its base.
In the following formulae, R = radius of the base of the frustum, r = radius of the top of the frustum,
h = height of the frustum, l = slant height of the frustum

If a cone is cut by a plane parallel to the base of the cone, the lower part is called the frustum of the cone.

Slant height of the frustum =l=√(h²+(R-r)²)

Curved surface area of frustum = π(R + r)l

Total surface area of frustum = π(R + r)l + π(R² + r²)

Volume of the frustum=(1/3)πh(R²+r²+Rr)

16. Mensuration Formulas for PRISM

Prism consists of two polygonal bases which are parallel to each other.

These bases are joined by lateral faces, which are perpendicular to the polygonal bases.

The number of lateral faces is equal to the number of sides in the polygonal base. Thus, the base of a prism could be of various shapes, namely, triangular, quadrangular, pentagonal etc.

Volume of prism = Base area × height

Lateral surface area of prism = perimeter of base × height

Total surface area of prism = Lateral surface area + (2 × base area)

17. Mensuration Formula for PYRAMID

Pyramid consists of a polygonal base and triangles at its sides. These triangles are called faces.

The base could be of any shape, whereas the faces are generally isosceles triangles.

All these triangular faces meet in a single point called the apex.

Total surface area of pyramid = base area + (number of sides × ½ × slant height × base length)

Volume of pyramid = (1/3) × base area × height

Tips & Tricks For Spotting Errors in English

Even those of you who are well-versed with English end up making the silliest of errors in grammar. It is a very natural tendency but error-spotting is not an art that one can’t master. It is just a matter of swearing by some guidelines and practice! Here are 26 tips for error spotting in English:

1. Certain nouns possess a singular form but still represent plurality and thus, take a plural verb when used in a sentence.
E.g. Cattle, peasantry, people, clergy, police.
Thus,

The Police has come (Incorrect)

The Police have come (Correct)

2. Certain nouns always take the plural verb because their form is always plural.
E.g. Scissors, trousers, spectacles, thanks, premises.
Thus,

The scissors is kept on the table. (Incorrect)

The scissors are kept on the table. (Correct)

3. When a number is followed by a noun denoting measure, length, money, number or weight, the form of the nouns does not change so long as they are followed by another noun or pronoun.
E.g. Million, pair, metre, year, dozen, foot, head.
Thus,

This is a nine-metres cloth. (Incorrect)

This is a nine-metre cloth. (Correct)

4. When a number is followed by a noun denoting measure, length, money, number or weight, but these are not followed by another noun or pronoun, then they take the plural form.
E.g. Million, pair, metre, year, dozen, foot, head.
Thus,

This sari is nine yard long. (Incorrect)

This sari is nine yards long. (Correct)

5. Certain nouns, especially of the collective category, are used as singular when they specify a unit.
E.g. Public, team, committee, government, audience, orchestra, company, jury.
Thus,

The public were unanimous in their opinion. (Incorrect)

The public was unanimous in its opinion. (Correct)

6. Certain nouns, especially of the collective category, are used in plural when they specify a difference of opinion or class.
E.g. Public, team, committee, government, audience, orchestra, company, jury.
Thus,

The jury was divided in its opinion. (Incorrect)

The jury were divided in their opinion. (Correct)

7. If the pronoun ‘one’ is used, it must be maintained throughout the sentence.
Thus,

One must respect his elders.  (Incorrect)

11. Only ‘than’ should be used after ‘no other’
Thus,

I like no other movie but Titanic. (Incorrect)

I like no other movie than Titanic. (Correct)

12. After the word ‘Know’, ‘how, ‘what’ or ‘when’ should be used before using the infinitive.
Thus,

I know to speak English. (Incorrect)

I know how to speak English. (Correct)

13. If the verb indicates a purpose, an infinitive must be used and if the verb indicates a cause, a gerund must be used.

Scrapping Article 370 for Kashmir and India

• Article 370 mainly allowed Kashmir’s accession to India as it guaranteed special status to the Valley.
• It gave Jammu and Kashmir exemption from the Indian Constition.
• The scrapping of Article 370 would affect the political status of the state.
• India was a legitimate power in Jammu and Kashmir because of this Article. Once it’s gone, India will be reduced to an occupational force in the region.

Benefits of Removing Article 370

Some of the biggest possible advantages of abolishing Article 370 are:

1. The state, upon removal of Article 370, will prosper economically and socially.
2. The threat of militancy will reduce via social amalgamation.
3. Kashmir could serve as one of the top tourist destinations after complete development.
4. It will supposedly prove to be good diplomacy to deal with Pakistan over territorial disputes.
5. It will politically give chance to all parties to rule the state and allow its development.

Article 370

Article 370 is an article of the Constitution of India, Part XXI: Temporary, Transitional and Special Provisions. Moreover, it grants a special status of autonomy to the state of Jammu & Kashmir.

Article 370’s Inclusion in the Constitution

• Originally, all princely states, including Jammu & Kashmir, merged with India on three matters: defense, foreign affairs and communications.
• Princely states had to draft their own constitutions which would govern other aspects of society.
• However, most states rejected the necessity of a separate constitution and adopted the Indian Constitution.
• Hence, this made those princely states equivalent to other Indian provinces.
• However, Jammu & Kashmir made its own constitution and asked for Indian Constitution to apply only on the three matters of original merger.
• Thus, Article 370 was included in the Indian Constitution according to which other articles of Indian Constitution will apply to Jammu & Kashmir with the agreement of State’s constituent assembly.
• Moreover, this Article was only temporary.

Article 370’s Permanence

• Article 370 was meant to be a temporary provision applied to the state of Jammu & Kashmir.
• The Constituent Assembly of Jammu & Kashmir had the authority to repeal or modify the state constitution. Hence, no external body could make any changes to the clauses.
• The Jammu & Kashmir Constituent Assembly dissolved on 25 January 1957 without any decision.
•  Article 370 has become a permanent provision in Indian Constitution according to Jammu & Kashmir High Court.
• Therefore, Jammu & Kashmir has a special autonomous status in the country.

Original Implications of Article 370

Article 370 included six special provisions for the state of Jammu & Kashmir at the time of Preparation:

1. Exempting the State from completely applying the Indian Constitution. The state could have its own Constitution.
2. Limitation of central legislative powers over the State at the time of framing, to matters of defense, foreign affairs and communications.
3. Extension of other constitutional provisions of Central Government to State only with State Government’s agreement.
4. The ‘concurrence’ (agreement) was only provisional. It required State’s Constituent Assembly’s consent.
5. State Government’s authority to give ‘concurrence’ lasted only until the State Constituent Assembly was assembled. After the Assembly finalized the scheme of powers and dispersed, no further changes were possible.
6. Thus, Article 370 could be repealed or amended only upon the recommendation of the State’s Constituent Assembly.

Major Presidential Orders Regarding Article 370

• Presidential Order – 1950: Specifies which articles of Indian Constitution applies to the state through the original agreement.
• Presidential Order – 1952: Represents abolition of monarchy in Jammu & Kashmir.
• Presidential Order – 1954: Includes
  • allowing Indian citizenship to permanent residents of Jammu & Kashmir
  • extending Supreme Court of India’s jurisdiction over the state.

Almost 50 Presidential orders are issued since then.

Shujaat Bhukari Assasination

• Shujaat Bhukari, a Kashmiri Journalist and the editor of Rising Kashmir was shot dead by 4 assailants on 14th June 2018.
• Bhukari was known as a brave journalist who liked to voice his opinion, the reason of his death is still unknown.
• Shujaat Bhukari’s case is a rare case of Kashmir where the angle of militants assasinating him is being kept aside for his help to militants in Kashmir.
• This cold blooded murder in a normal morning in Kashmir, right outside Bhukaari’s own office raises questions again on Article 370, it’s reliability and it’s failure in many ways at maintaing civilian peace in Kashmir

Key Rates used by RBI Repo Rate, MSF Rate & Bank Rate

Key Rates used by RBI

The Bank has various Key Rates at its disposal to influence the money supply in the market through its monetary policy.

What is Liquidity Adjustment Facility?

Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) helps banks adjust their daily liquidity mismatches by pledging government securities over and above the SLR requirement. Repo Rates and Reverse Repo Rates form a part of the Liquidity Adjustment Facility.

What is RBI Repo Rate?

• RBI Repo Rate is the rate at which the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) lends money to commercial banks. By controlling the Repo Rate, and the lending rates to commercial banks, the RBI also indirectly affects the lending rates granted by commercial banks to end consumers.
• When there is low inflation along with low-capacity utilisation and the market demands more supply of money, the RBI decreases the RBI Repo Rate. By decreasing the Repo Rate, the RBI encourages commercial banks to borrow more money from it.
• Increasing RBI Repo Rate means that commercial banks don’t borrow money liberally from the RBI, and avoid doing so. This slows down the economic progress, reduces the liquidity in the market, and the reduction in money supply reduces the inflation. This is an important measure in curbing inflation.

Stay prepared by updating your general knowledge with this course!

What is RBI Reverse Repo Rate?

• Reverse Repo Rate is the rate at which the Reserve Bank of India borrows money from commercial banks within the country. It is one of the monetary policy instrument which can be used to control the money supply in the country.
• Other things remaining constant, an increase in the reverse repo rate will result in decrease in the money supply and vice-versa.
• An increase in reverse repo rate implies a situation where commercial banks get more incentives if they park their funds with the RBI, thereby decreasing the supply of money in the market.

What is Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) Rate?

• Another one of the Key Rates used by RBI is the Marginal Standing Facility Rate.
• Marginal Standing Facility is a new window of Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) created by Reserve Bank of India
• It was created in RBI’s credit policy of May 2011.
• At this rate, the banks are able to borrow overnight funds from RBI against the approved government securities.
• Marginal standing facility (MSF) acts as a support plan for banks, letting them borrow funds from the Reserve Bank of India in an emergency situation wherein the inter-bank liquidity dries up completely.
• Banks borrow from RBI by pledging government securities at a rate comparatively higher than the Repo Rate under liquidity adjustment facility (LAF).
• Under MSF, banks can borrow funds approximately around one percentage of their net demand and time liabilities (NDTL).

What is Bank Rate?

• Bank rate is the rate of interest at which a central bank charges its loans and advances to a commercial bank.
• In case of shortage of funds, banks can borrow from the central bank based on the monetary policy of the country.
• The borrowing is commonly done via repo rate, it is more applicable when there is a liquidity crunch situation in the market.
• The Reserve Bank of India determines the bank rate at which it provides loans to commercial banks with no collateral. This rate is revised periodically, reactively depending on the economy.

What is Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR)?

• CRR is the basic percentage of a bank’s net demand and time liabilities (deposits) that banks ought to maintain as cash balance with the RBI.
• A high CRR percentage means banks have less funds to lend, a low CRR does the opposite.
• This in turn impacts liquidity in the economy.
• CRR is used by RBI to tighten or ease liquidity by increasing or decreasing it as per the situation demands.

What is Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR)?

• Statutory Liquidity Ratio is the percentage of net demand and time liabilities (deposits) that banks ought to maintain in safe and liquid assets approved by the RBI.
• The assets can be in the form of government securities, cash and gold.
• Any fluctuations in SLR often tend to influence the availability of resources in the banking system for lending to the private sector.

Important Key Rates used by RBI Updated as of June 2019

Important RBI Policy Rates and Ratio – April, 2019
Current Cash Reserve Ratio	4%
Current Reverse Repo rate	5.5%
Current Repo Rate	5.75%
Current Marginal Standing Facility Rate	6%
