A Rose For The Queen

There was not a man in the Mughal Empire who did not know of Jahangir’s love for his queen, Noor

Jahan. As was the custom of the time, Jahangir had many queens, all of them beautiful and talented.

But Noor Jahan, the chief queen was special. She was the epitome of grace, beauty and talent. She was

also an intelligent woman who understood statecraft and was unscathed by palace intrigues. Jahangir

had found in her an invaluable friend and counsellor. She even shared his leisure pursuits, going so far

as to accompany him on his hunting expeditions. In fact, Noor Jahan was an excellent shot and once,

surprised and delighted her husband by bringing down a ferocious tiger with a single arrow.

In appreciation of Noor Jahan’s accomplishment, Jahangir showered her with gifts. He took great

pleasure in giving her anything she liked. And Noor Jahan liked a great many things – shimmering silks

embroidered with gold and silver and rainbow coloured threads, jewellery, etc. Once Jahangir gifted her

an emerald which was the size of a small walnut. Another time, he gave her a cluster of rubies set in a

pendant. Noor Jahan loved to design her own jewellery and some of it was elegant enough to be

appreciated by the emperor as well. In an effort to give Noor Jahan, the best of everything, Jahangir

took her to Kashmir every year. For two long months, they escaped the heat of the plains and enjoyed

the beauty of nature.

Noor Jahan loved these sojourns in Kashmir. She loved the sparkling streams and the beautiful,

colourful flowers that bloomed all over the meadows and the hillsides. But there was one thing she

loved in particular, and that was a rose that bloomed in summer, on a single bush, in a garden at the

foot of a mountain in Kashmir. The wasn’t white and it wasn’t pink, but a bit of both. The petals had

frilly, rose tinted edges that looked like the work of an artist with a clever brush. And its scent was out

of this world. In Agra, all the year around, Noor Jahan waited for the day when she would go to

Kashmir and set her eyes on the rose again.

She craved to go to Kashmir and see that ethereally beautiful rose that had been planted in the gardens

of Kashmir by one of the most famed gardeners. The rose only bloomed in the summer season and if

one missed an opportunity, it would be the next year.

Topic : Areas related to circles and surface areas & volumes

1. Find the area

closed between two concentric circles of radii 3.5cm, 7cm. A third concentric circle is drawn

outside the 7cm circle so that the area enclosed between it and the 7cm circle is same as that

between two inner circles. Find the radius of third circle.

of cardboard in the shape of square of side 14cm. A piece in the shape of letter B is cut off. The

curved side of the letter consists of two equal semicircles and the breadth of the rectangular

piece is 1cm. Find the area of the remaining part of cardboard.

filled with liquid till it covered one third the height of the cylinder. If the height of each part is

9cm and the vessel is turned upside down. Find the volume of the liquid and to what height will

it reach in the cylindrical part.

the form of a right circular cone mounted on the hemisphere. The radius of the hemisphere is

3.5cm and the height of the conies 4cm. The solid is placed in a cylindrical tub, full of water, in
