Title: How Many Gaps Are There in a "Chhoti" (Small) Game?
Content: Step-by-Step Explanation in English
Problem Statement
In a traditional Indian board game called "Kho-Kho" (a sport but often adapted as a board game), players move tokens around a circular track divided into segments. The game involves "gaps" (छेद) where tokens are blocked. If the board has 12 segments and every alternate segment is a gap, how many gaps are there? Solve using basic arithmetic.
Solution
Understand the Board Layout
The board is circular with 12 segments.
Every alternate segment is a gap (e.g., Segment 1 is a gap, Segment 2 is clear, Segment 3 is a gap, etc.).
Apply Division
Total segments = 12
Gaps are placed every 2nd segment.
Number of gaps = Total segments ÷ 2
[
\frac{12}{2} = 6
]
Verification
Segments: 1 (Gap), 2 (Clear), 3 (Gap), 4 (Clear), 5 (Gap), 6 (Clear), 7 (Gap), 8 (Clear), 9 (Gap), 10 (Clear), 11 (Gap), 12 (Clear).
Total gaps = 6 (Segments 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11).
Answer
There are 6 gaps in the circular board game.
Explanation in Hindi (for context):
यह गेम में 12 टुकड़े हैं और यदि अलग-अलग टुकड़ों में छेद लगते हैं, तो छेदों की संख्या 12 के 2 के भाजे होगी, जो 6 है।
Key Terms:
छूट (Chhoti): Small/compact game or segment.
छेद (Chhed): Gap or blocked segment.
Kho-Kho: Traditional Indian sport adapted into board games.
