ACTIVITY 2
Adventure Camp
Read the given passage
It was a bright sunny morning when students of class VII stood in the school‟s assembly
ground, thinking about the adventures they would have in Jim Corbett . Yes, they were going to
the much awaited Adventure Camp! They would live in tents, trek in the forest, spot some flora
and fauna, climb the rocks, observe the valleys, perhaps make their own food and what not.
“Hurry up students, fall in line” said the Teacher instructor. Within no time the teachers and all
the students gathered in the ground. Mr.Sharma continued, “You are representing your school
in this Adventure Camp. So, behave, act and perform well. Be disciplined and do not harm the
DAV PUBLIC SCHOOL, DWARKA, NEW DELHI 110075

nature. I hope you would not let us down. Well, you would go to the camp by bus. Now, stand in
order and move towards your buses.”
The students stood in lines – class and section wise. There were exactly 10 students from each
section, forming a group of 60 students and 10 teachers, including Mr. Sharma. All moved
outside to board the buses. Mrs. Saxena, the coordinating teacher exclaimed, “We have got
only 4 mini buses; how do I adjust the students?” Mr. Singh, the sports teacher, came forward
and said, “Ma‟am, I can see we have 4 buses in which 3 buses are 15 seater and 1 bus is 25
seater. So, that should be enough.” Mrs. Saxena explained. They all set off for the journey and
reached Jim Corbett. It was a place brimming with positivity and the scenic beauty was breathtaking. At the camp, each student was served with a welcome drink. Soon the rooms were
allotted and they all met in the Conference Hall. After an hour, they were greeted by Brigadier
Tripathi and his team of 50 members who would guide the students and teachers in their
camping activities. The students were divided into groups and within half an hour, the groups
reached the camping site, where they would take part in the adventure activities. The jungle
trek was enjoyable but tiring. As dusk fell, it was time to take shelter. At night, the students sat
around the bonfire and presented group plays. At first light, the students were served breakfast
and soon they were all taken for rock climbing. Many students were scared and backed out.
Then BrigadierTripathi told the students about the performance of their team and success rate
in climbing the given rock in their past. Some were successful in the first attempt, while some
took more attempts; there were a few who had not tried rock climbing at all. However, they all
wanted to try it. He tried to motivate them and showed them a data which had the following
table:
NO. OF ATTEMPTS
1st attempt
2nd attempt
More than 2 attempts
Did not attempt at all
Total
NO. OF PEOPLE
10
20
15
5
50
Within no time, all the students decided to climb the rock and enjoyed the activity. For the rest
of the days students were taken for village walks, visit to organic farms, bird watching and river
crossing. There were some in–house activities as well. Finally the departure time arrived. Mr.
Sharma was happy to know that the students had an amazing time and the camp helped them
in bringing out their hidden qualities. Now, referring to the instances and situations listed above,
answer the following questions using mathematical knowledge:
On the basis of your reading the passage answer the following:Q1. Find the ratio of:
a) The people climbing the rock in 1st attempt to those climbing in 2 attempt.
b) The people not attempting to climb the rock to those climbing in more than 2 attempts.
c) Are the two ratios same ?

d) Find the student-teacher ratio of the Adventure camp.
Q2. a) Of the 50 students under Brigadier Tripathi, what percent of them were able to climb the
rock in 2 attempts?
b) What percent of students did not attempt to climb the rock?
Q3. Mr. Singh, the sports teacher, came forward and said, "Ma'am, I can see, we have 4
buses in which 3 buses are 15 seaters and 1 bus is 25 seater”. What is the total number
of seats?
