objects which prevents her from making a direct measurement. She devises an ingenious way to overcome this

 difficulty. First she fixes a pole at a convenient point O so that both A and B are visible. Then she fixes another
pole at a point D on the line AO (produced) such that AO = DO. In a similar way, she fixes a third pole at a point
C on the line BO (produced) such that BO = CO. Then she measures CD and finds that CD = 540 cm. Prove that
the distance between objects A and B is also 540 cm.

A teacher is a person whose professional activity involves planning, organizing, and conducting group activities
to develop student's knowledge, skills, and attitudes as stipulated by educational programs. Teachers may work
with students as a whole class, in small groups or one-to-one, inside or outside regular classrooms. In this
indicator, teachers are compared by their average age and work experience measured in years.
For the same in 2015, the following distribution of ages (in years) of primary school teachers in a district was
collected to evaluate the teacher on the above-mentioned criterion.

i. What is the total no of teachers? (1)
