36. Morning assembly is an integral part of the school's schedule. Almost all the schools
conduct morning assemblies which include prayers, information of latest happenings,
inspiring thoughts, speech, national anthem, etc. A good school is always particular
about their morning assembly schedule. Morning assembly is important for a child's

development. It is essential to understand that the morning assembly is not just about
standing in long queues and singing prayers or national anthem, but it's something
the school staff
beyond just prayers. All the activities carried out in morning assembly by
and students have a great influence in every point of life. The positive effects of
attendingschool assemblies can be felt throughout life.

Have you noticed that in a school assembly you always stand in rows and columns and
this makes a coordinate system? Suppose a school has 100 students and they all
assemble during prayer in 10 rows as given below. Answer the following questions ifA
