In Agra in a grinding mill, there were installed 5 types of mills. These mills used
steel balls of radius 5 mm, 7 mm, 10 mm, 14 mm and 16 mm respectively. All the
balls were in the spherical shape.
For repairing purpose mills need 10 balls of 7 mm radius and 20 balls of 3.5 mm
radius. The workshop was having 20000 mm 3 steel.
This 20000 mm 3 steel was melted and 10 balls of 7 mm radius and 20 balls of 3.5
mm radius were made and the remaining steel was stored for future use.

As shown In the village of Surya there was a big pole PC. This pole was tied with a
strong wire of 10 m length. Once there was a big spark on this pole, thus wires got
damaged very badly. Any small fault was usually repaired with the help of a rope
which normal board electricians were carrying on bicycles.
This time electricians need a staircase of 10 m so that it can reach at point P on the
pole and this should make 60 𝑜𝑜 with line AC.
