Is it better to go for depth or breadth in your studies?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

Depends what you want to do. Or more specifically, if you know what you want to do. For example, if you’re going to become a software engineer (like me), not a person on the planet having to do with your career is going to give a rat’s behind that you got a minor in Russian Literature, and you’re far better off spending those credits going further in your field. If you don’t know what you want, or you think there’s a good chance you might want to change careers at some point, get yourself at least familiar with as many interesting topics as you can.

Description : The capacity of a cuboidal tank is 50000 litres of water. Find the breadth of the tank, if its length and depth are respectively 2.5 m and 10 m -Maths 9th

Last Answer : Length (l) and depth (h) of tank is 2.5 m and 10 m respectively. To find: The value of breadth, say b. Formula to find the volume of a tank = l b h = (2.5 b 10) m3= 25b m3 Capacity ... of water (Given) Therefore, 25000 b = 50000 This implies, b = 2 Therefore, the breadth of the tank is 2 m.

River erosion is at its greatest where river's – (1) depth is more (2) breadth is more (3) flow is fast (4) gradient is more

Description : River erosion is at its greatest where river's – (1) depth is more (2) breadth is more (3) flow is fast (4) gradient is more
