37. Water Tower : A water tower is a building that is used to hold and give out water. It is almost always
built on a high place. It works because a pump gives water to the tower, and gravity makes the
saved water go out to the places that need water. Those places are connected to the tower by pipes.
A water tower is good when there is no power because it uses gravity to send out the water.

A water tower is located 60 meter from a building (see the figure). From a window in the building,
an observer notes that the angle of elevation to the top of the tower is 45O and that the angle of
depression to the bottom of the tower is 30O.
(i) Draw a neat labelled figure to show the above situation.
(ii) How tall is the tower?
(iii) How high is the window?
38. The Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan is a system of premier central government schools in India that
are instituted under the aegis of the Ministry of Education (MHRD), Government of India. As of
October 2020, it has a total of 1239 schools. It is one of the world’s largest chains of schools. The
system came into being in 1963 under the name ‘Central Schools’. Later, the name was changed to
Kendriya Vidyalaya. Its schools are all affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education
(CBSE). The objective of KVS is to cater to the educational needs of the children of transferable
Central Government employees including Defence and Para-Military personnel by providing a
common programme of education.
