Answers
1) On Saturday, Swami prepares excitedly to host Rajam, who has promised to come to his house that afternoon. Swami wonders where to host Rajam and realizes that, because his father will be out at court, he can host Rajam in his father's room, pretending that the room is Swami's own.
2) Swaminathan gazed and gazed at this sum, and every time he read it, it seemed to acquire a new meaning. He had the feeling of having stepped into a fearful maze. His mouth began to water at the thought of mangoes. He wondered what made Rama fix fifteen annas for ten mangoes.
3) Father, will you tell me if the mangoes were ripe?” Father regarded him for a while and smothering a smile remarked, “Do the sum first. I will tell you whether the fruits were ripe or not, afterwards.” Swaminathan felt utterly helpless
4) sorry I don't know this!!
5) Father said this when Swami said that he would not be able to solve the sum as they were not taught Simple Proportion at school. Swami firmly believed that the sum could not be solved.
6) even this sorry!!
7) He had the feeling of having stepped into a fearful maze. His mouth began to water at the thought of mangoes. He wondered what made Rama fix fifteen annas for ten mangoes.
8) IDK
9) Probably he was like Sankar [The most brilliant boy in Swami 's class. He was said to solve any problem given to him in five minutes]. Somehow, one couldn't help feeling that he must have been like Sankar, with his ten mangoes and his iron determination to get fifteen annas.
