Madhav got confused. He couldn’t imagine his mother’s grandmother’s mother! So, Madhav’s mother made a family tree for him, as shown below:
Madhav’s mother helped him understand her family with the help of this drawing. You can also find out about your older generations using such a family tree.

32 elders will be in the VII generation of his family.
VI generation: 8 × 2 = 16

4. If he takes his family tree forward, in which generation will he find 128 elders?
Solution:
Number of members in VII generation of Madhav’s family = 32
Number of members in VIII generation of Madhav’s family = 32 × 2 = 64
Number of members in IX generation of Madhav’s family = 64 × 2 = 128
Thus, in the IX generation, the number of elders in Madhav’s family will be 128.
Growth Chart of a Plant:
Amit sowed a few seeds of moong dal in the ground. The height of the plant grew to 1.4 cm in the first four days. After that, it started growing faster.
Amit measured the height of the plant after every four days and put a dot on the chart. For example, if you look at the dot marked on the fourth day, you can see on the left side scale that it is 1.4 cm high.
Now look at the height of each dot in cm and check from the table if he has marked the dots correctly.
