उत्तर
The distance between the Sun and the Earth is 1.496 × 108 km
= 1.496 × 108 × 103 m
= 1496 × 108 m
The distance between the Earth and the Moon is 3.84 × 108 m.
The distance between the Moon and the Sun at particular time (solar eclipse)
= (1496 × 108 – 3.84 × 108) m
= (1496 – 3.84) × 108 m
= 1492.16 × 108 m

Suppose you have a stretching machine which could stretch almost anything. For example, if you put a 5 metre stick into a (× 4) stretching machine (as shown below), you get a 20 metre stick. Now if you put 10 cm carrot into a (× 4) machine, how long will it be when it comes out?
Two machines can be hooked together. When something is sent through this hook up, the output from the first machine becomes the input for the second. Which stretching machine does the same work as two (× 2) machines hooked together?

Similarly, repeater machine is a hypothetical machine which automatically enlarges items several times. For example, sending a piece of wire through a (× 24) machine is the same as putting it through a (× 2) machine four times. So, if you send a 3 cm piece of wire through a (× 24) machine, its length becomes 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 48 cm. It can also be written that a base (2) machine is being applied 4 times.
What will be the new length of a 4 cm strip inserted in the machine?
