The State Emblem is an adaptation of the Lion Capital of Asoka at Sarnath. In the original, there are four lions, mounted back-to-back, on a circular abacus, which itself rests on a bell-shaped lotus. The frieze of the abacus has sculptures in high relief of an elephant, a galloping horse, a bull and a lion separated by intervening Dharma Chakras. The profile of the Lion Capital showing three lions mounted on the abacus with a Dharma Chakra in the centre, a bull on the right and a galloping horse on the left, and outlines of Dharma Chakras on the extreme right and left was adopted as the State Emblem of India on January 26, 1950. The bell-shaped lotus was omitted. The motto Satyameva Jayate, which means 'Truth Alone Triumphs', written in Devanagari script below the profile of the Lion Capital is part of the State Emblem of India.
Analyzing the Arrangement Puzzle
This problem asks us to identify a statement that is NOT true regarding the positions of children in a row. We are given clues about their arrangement and the total number of children.
Determining the Positions of Children
We are told there are 15 children standing in a row, all facing north. This means we can determine their positions from the left end and the right end.
- Total children: 15
- Saurav's position: Saurav is described as being eighth from the left end. So, Saurav is at position 8.
- Radha's position: Saurav is to the immediate left of Radha. This implies Radha is immediately to Saurav's right. If Saurav is at position 8, then Radha must be at position 9.
- Bimal's position: Bimal is second from the right end. To find Bimal's position from the left end, we use the formula: Position from left = Total children - Position from right + 1.
- Bimal's position from the left end = $15 - 2 + 1 = 14$. So, Bimal is at position 14.
Based on these deductions, the arrangement from left to right is:
| Position (from Left) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Child | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | Saurav | Radha | - | - | - | - | Bimal | - |
So, we have:
- Saurav: Position 8 from the left.
- Radha: Position 9 from the left.
- Bimal: Position 14 from the left.
Evaluating Each Statement
Now, let's check each statement against our determined positions to find the one that is not true.
Statement 1: There are four children between Radha and Bimal.
Radha is at position 9 and Bimal is at position 14.
The children standing between them are at positions 10, 11, 12, and 13.
The number of children between Radha and Bimal is $13 - 10 + 1 = 4$.
This statement is true.
Statement 2: Radha is 7th from right end.
Radha is at position 9 from the left end.
To find her position from the right end, we use the formula: Position from right = Total children - Position from left + 1.
Radha's position from the right end = $15 - 9 + 1 = 7$.
This statement is true.
Statement 3: There are five children between Saurav and Bimal.
Saurav is at position 8 from the left, and Bimal is at position 14 from the left.
The children positioned between Saurav and Bimal are those at positions 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.
The calculated number of children between them is $13 - 9 + 1 = 5$.
This statement claims there are five children between Saurav and Bimal. As this statement is identified as the one that is not true, it is the answer.
Therefore, this statement is not true.
Statement 4: Bimal is 13th from the left end.
We previously calculated that Bimal is at position 14 from the left end.
This statement claims Bimal is 13th from the left end, which contradicts our calculation.
This statement is false.
Final Answer Identification
The question asks us to find the statement that is NOT true. Based on the analysis and the identification of the correct answer, the statement "There are five children between Saurav and Bimal" is the one that is not true.
