REVISION WORKSHEETS WITH ANSWERS

SUBJECT: ENGLISH

WORKSHEET 1

SECTION A (READING SKILL)

1. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

For four days, I walked through the narrow lanes of the old city, enjoying the

romance of being in a city where history still lives- in its cobblestone streets and in

its people riding asses, carrying vine leaves and palm as they once did during the

time of Christ.

This is Jerusalem, home to the sacred sites of Christianity, Islam and Judaism. This

is the place that houses the church of the Holy Sepulcher, the place where Jesus

was finally laid to rest. This is also the site of Christ‟s crucifixion, burial and

resurrection.

Built by the Roman Emperor Constantine at the site of an earlier temple to

Aphrodite, it is the most venerated Christian shrine in the world. And justifiably so.

Here, within the church, are the last five stations of the cross, the 10th station

where Jesus was stripped of his clothes, the 11th where he was nailed to the cross,

the 12th where he died on the cross, the 13th where the body was removed from

the cross, and the 14th, his tomb.

For all the weighty tradition, even to the devout Christian pilgrims walking along to

Via - Dolorosa- the Way of Sorrows - first nine stations look clueless. Then a

courtyard appears, hemmed in by other building and a doorway to one side. This

leads to a vast area of huge stone architecture.

Immediately inside the entrance is your first stop. It‟s the stone of anointing: this is

the place, according to Greek tradition, where Christ was removed from the cross.

The Roman Catholics, however, believe it to be the spot where Jesus‟ body was

prepared for burial by Joseph.

What happened next? Jesus was buried. He was taken to a place outside the city of

Jerusalem where other graves existed and there, he was buried in a cave.

However, all that is long gone, destroyed by continued attacks and rebuilding; what

remains is the massive- and impressive- Rotunda (a round building with a dome)

that Emperor Constantine built. Under this, and right in the centre of the Rotunda, is

the structure that contains the Holy Sepulcher.

a. The writer found the city attractive because _____________

b. Greek belief about the „stone of anointing‟ is __________________

c. Two reasons why Jerusalem is sacred are _____________ and _______________

d. Jerusalem was earlier a site for ___________________

e. After Christ was removed from the cross, he was ___________________

f. Find the words from the passage which means the same (2 marks)

(i) The act of rising from the dead.

(ii) To regard or treat with reverence.

2. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had

admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer‟s showroom, and knowing his father could well

afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had

purchased the car.

Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His

father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he

loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat

disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with

the young man‟s name embossed in gold. Angry, he raised his voice to his father and said

“With all your money, you give me a Bible?” and stormed out of the house, leaving the

Bible.

Many years passed and the Young man was very successful in business. He had a

beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realized that his father was very old, and

thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day.

Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had

passed away, and had willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home

immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his father‟s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He

began to search through his father‟s important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as

he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. And

as he did, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer‟s

The Editor

Chandigarh.

Dear Sir

Through the esteemed columns of your newspaper, I seek to express my views on

the use of unfair means by students in examinations.

The use of unfair means by students has become very common. But the menace

has assumed dangerous proportions now. Reasons are numerous. Students do not

study throughout the year and look for easy means to clear the exam. There are

also few people including teachers who have made assisting students to cheat,their

means of earning money. The evil has become deep-rooted.

Impact is also very evident. Deserving students lose out to these unfair means. The

standard of performance also goes down.

The system of examination needs, complete overhauling. Among the reform in the

examination system, introduction of internal assessment, setting of objective type

questions and dealing firmly with defaulters should bring about a positive change.

It is hoped that these views will go a long way in making examinations meaningful.

Yours faithfully,

Pankaj Walia.

12 Prove that the lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle

are equal.

Given: A circle with centre O, P lying outside

the circle & two tangents PQ, PR on

the circle from P.

To prove: PQ = PR.

Construction: Join OP, OQ and OR.

Proof:Then ∠ OQP =∠ ORP = 90⁰

(these are angles between the radii

and tangents)

In ΔOQP and ORP,

OQ = OR (Radii of the same circle)

OP = OP (Common)

∠ OQP =∠ ORP = 90⁰

Therefore, Δ OQP ≅ Δ ORP (RHS)

⇒PQ = PR (CPCT)

13 Prove that the tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius

through the point of contact.

Given: a circle with centre O and a tangent XY to the circle at

a point P.

To prove: OP ⊥ XY

Proof:

Let us take a point Q on XY other than P and join OQ. As the

point Q lies outside the circle, therefore, OQ is longer than the

radius OP of the circle. That is, OQ > OP.

Since this happens for every point on the line XY except the

point P, OP is the shortest of all the distances of the point O to

the points of XY. So OP ⊥ XY, as in a right angle triangle,

base and perpendicular are always smaller than the

hypotenuse.

14 If tangents PA and PB from a point P to a circle with centre O are inclined to each

other at angle 80⁰, then find the value of ∠POA.

Solution: As PA and PB are tangents,

⇒OA⊥PA and OB⊥PB

⇒∠OBP = 90⁰ and ∠OAP = 90⁰

In quadrilateral OABP,

∠APB + ∠BOA + ∠OAP + ∠OBP = 360⁰

⇒∠BOA = 100⁰

In ΔOBP and ΔOAP

OA = OB (radius)

AP = BP (Tangents from a point are equal

in length)

OP = OP (Common)

Therefore, ΔOBP ≅ΔOAP (SSS

congruency)

⇒∠POB = ∠POA (CPCT)

⇒∠POA = 1

2∠BOA = 50⁰.

15 Divide a line segment of length 10 cm internally in the ratio 3:2.

and A5 on AB at equal distances from the point A.

Step 3: Join A5 and B.

Step 4: Through A3 (i.e. the third point), draw A3 D

parallel to A5 B.

16 Construct a triangle with sides 5cm, 6 cm and 7 cm. Construct another

Step 2: Through B draw an arc of radius 6

cm.Through C draw another arc of

radius 5 cm to intersect the first arc at

A.

Step 3: Join AB and AC to get ΔABC.

Step 4: Draw a ray BX making an acute angle

withBC.

Step 5: Locate 3 points B1, B2 and B3 on BX

suchthat

BB1 = B1B2 = B2B3

Step 6: Join B3C and through B2 draw a line

parallelto B3C to meet BC in C′.

Step 7: Through C′, draw a line parallel to CA

to meet AB at A′.Then A′BC′ is the

required triangle.

17 Draw a triangle ABC with side BC = 7 cm, ∠B = 45⁰, ∠A= 105⁰. Then

construct a triangle whose sides are 𝟒

𝟑times the corresponding sides

of ΔABC.

Solution:

Step 1: Draw BC = 7 cm.

Step 2: At B construct ∠CBX = 45⁰ and at C

construct ∠BCY = 180⁰ - (45⁰ - 105⁰) = 30⁰.

Suppose BX and CY intersect at A. ΔABC so

obtained is the given triangle.

Step 3: Construct an acute angle ∠CBZ at B on

opposite side of vertex A of ΔABC.

Step 4: Mark off four (greater of 4 and 3 in 4

points B1, B2, B3, B4 on BZ.

Step 5: Join B3 C and draw a line through B4C‟

parallel to B3C, intersecting the extended line

segment BA at C‟.

Step 6: Draw a line through C‟ parallel to CA

18 To construct the tangents to a circle from a point outside it:

If we are given a circle with centre O and a point P outside it, then to construct two

tangents from P to the circle we follow the following steps:

STEPS OF CONSTRUCTION

STEP 1: Join PO and bisect it. Let M

be the mid-point of PO.

STEP 2: Take M as center and MO as

radius, draw a circle. Let it intersect the

given circle at the points Q & R.

STEP 3: Join PQ and PR.

Then PQ and PR are the required two

tangents.

19: Draw a pair of tangents to a circle of radius 3 cm, which are inclined to

each other at an angle of 60⁰.

Solution: STEPS OF CONSTRUCTION

STEP 2: At O construct radii OA and OB such

that ∠AOB = 120⁰i.e. supplement of the

angle between the tangents.

STEP 3: Draw perpendiculars OA and OB at A

and B respectively intersecting at P.

Then PA and PB are the required tangents

inclined to each other at angle of

60⁰.

1 Prove that 𝟓 is irrational.

Solution:

On the contrary let us assume 5 is rational

5= a/b where a and b are coprime.

5 b = a by cross multiplication

5 b² = a² (by squaring) ____________ ①

Therefore, 5 divides a²

Hence 5 divides a (by theorem)___________②

Let a = 5c for some c

Substituting in ①

5b² = (5c)²

5b² = 25c²

b²= 5c²

Therefore, 5 divides b²

Hence 5 divides b by theorem ______________③

From ② and ③, a and b has a common factor 5 which contradicts they are coprime.

Hence our assumption is wrong . Or 5 is irrational.

2 Prove that 6+√2 is an irrational number.

Solution: Let 6+√2 be a rational number of the type p/q where p,q are coprime

numbers and q≠ 0.

𝑝

𝑞− 6 = 2

𝑝−6𝑞

𝑞= 2

Since p,q are integers,so 𝑝−6𝑞

𝑞 being quotient of two integers is a rational number.

Which implies 2 is rational.But this is a contradiction as 2 is irrational.

Hence our assumption that 6+√2 is rational is incorrect.

∴ 6+√2is an irrational number.

Solution:

Let x be at unit place and y at the ten‟s place

15 A boat goes 8 km downstream in 40 minutes and comes back in 1 hour.

Determine the speed of the boat in still water and speed of the current.

Solution:. Let speed of boat = 𝑥 km/hr

And speed of current = 𝑦 km/hr

Therefore speed upstream = (𝑥 – 𝑦) km/hr

Speed downstream = (𝑥 + 𝑦) km/hr

According to the given condition 8

𝑥+𝑦 =

40

60 =>

8

𝑥+𝑦 =

2

3 => 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 12 ... (i)

And 8

𝑥−𝑦 = 1 => 𝑥 - 𝑦 = 8 ... (ii)

Adding (i) and (ii) , we get

Putting 𝑥 = 10 in (i) , we get 𝑦 = 2

Therefore speed of boat = 10km/hr

Speed of current = 2km/hr

we increase the distance of the object from the eye?

4. Name any two causes of Myopia and Hypermetropia each.

5. In which direction does a ray of light bend while emerging out of a prism?

6. Why do we get colours when white light passes through a prism?

7. How does the focal length of the eye lens change as per the distance of the

object in front of the eye?

8. At noon the sun appears as white but in morning or evening appears as reddish.

Why?

9. Draw a neat diagram to show refraction of a light ray through a triangular glass

prism. Label the angle of incidence, angle of emergence, incident ray, refracted

ray, emergent ray and angle of deviation.

10. What phenomenon is depicted in the given diagram .Explain the phenomenon

and label A and B in the diagram.

ANSWER - REVISION WORKSHEET -1

1. The retina behaves like a light sensitive screen, on which real and inverted image

of any object situated in front eye is formed.

2. The crystalline lens provides the fine adjustment of focal length of eye lens

system so as to focus images of objects situated at different distances of the

retina.

3. The image distance remains unchanged.

4. The two causes of Myopia are:

(a) Excessive curvature of Eye lens

(b) Elongation of the eyeball.

Causes of Hypermetropia:

(a) the focal length of eye lens is too long

(b) Eye ball has become too small.

5. The ray of light emerging out of a prism always bends towards the base of the

prism.

6. We get dispersion of colours when white light passes through a prism because

light of different colours bends through different angles while passing through a

prism.

7. The crystalline eye lens consists of a fibrous, jelly like material. Its curvature can

be modified to some extent by the ciliary muscles. The change in the curvature of

eye lens can change its focal length. When the muscles are relaxed, the lens is

thin and its focal length is more (about 2.5 cm). When the ciliary muscles

contract, the eye lens becomes thicker, consequently the focal length of the eye

lens decreases.

8. At noon the sunlight would travel relatively shorter distance before reaching us.

As a result, scattering of blue and violet light is very less and sun appears white.

In early morning or evening, sun is near the horizon and sunlight passes a

longer distance in earth’s atmosphere before reaching us. So most of the blue-

violet light is scattered away. It gives reddish appearance to the sun.

9. The LABelled diagram has been shown in fig in which

10. The diagram depicts the phenomenon of dispersion of light. Label A indicates

incident white light. Label B indicates the screen with the spectrum consisting of

VIBGYOR of seven colours.

Catalysts are the substances that cause a reaction to occur or proceed at

a different rate without the reaction itself being affected.

10. What are soaps? Explain the cleansing action of soaps.

Ans: Soap Structure: Soaps are long chain sodium or potassium slats of

carboxylic acids. E.g sodium stearate. A soap molecule has two parts. A long

hydrocarbon part which is hydrophobic (soluble in oiland grease) and a

short ionic part which is hydrophilic (soluble in water)

Cleansing action of soap: When soap is dissolved in water, it forms spherical

structure called micelle. In each micelle, soap molecules are arranged radially

such that hydrophobic part is towards centre ( i.e oil or dirt) and the ionic part

or hydrophilic part is towards outside. The hydrophobic part dissolves the oil

or dirt and forms an emulsion at the centre of micelle which can be washed

away with water.

13. What is a synapse ? In a neuron cell how is an electrical impulse created

and what is the role of a synapse in this context?

Ans: Synapse is the junction between two adjacent neurons or nerve cells i.e.

between axon ending of one and the dendrite of the next

Transmission of of Nerve Impulse: The information acquired at the end of the

dendritic tip of a neuron sets off a chemical reaction which creates an

electrical impulse. This impulse travels from the dendrite to the cyton along

the axion to its end. At the end of the axion, the electrical impulse sets off the

release of some chemicals, which cross the synapse and start a similar

electrical impulse in a dendrite of the next neuron. In this way nerve impulses

travel in the body. Synapse helps in transmitting impulses from one neuron to

another.

Ans: The number of gametes in the female gamete is 24. The number of

chromosomes in the zygote is 48.

20. What would be the ratio of chromosome number between an egg and its

zygote? How is the sperm genetically different from the egg?

Ans: The ration of chromosome between the egg and the zygote and its zygote is

1:2Sperm is genetically different from the egg in the way that it contains either

X or Y chromosome whereas the egg always contains an X chromosome.

21. The human hand, cat paw and the horse foot, when studied in detail

show the same structure of bones and point towards a common origin.

What do you conclude from this?

What is the term given to such structures?

Ans: In course of evolution they have been modified to perform different functions.

These are called Homologous organs

22. How do Mendel’s experiment show that traits are inherited

independently

Ans: Mendel performed an experiment in which he took different traits like tall and

dwarf plant and round and wrinkled seeds. In second generation (F2) some

plants were tall having round seeds and some dwarf with wrinkled seeds.

There would also be dwarf plants having round seeds. Thus, the tall/short

traits and round/wrinkled seed traits are independently inherited.

23. A group of grasshoppers- some green and some brown lived in a

grassland having dry bushes and dry grass

(a) Which one would normally be picked up by predatory birds and

why?

(b) Population of which grasshoppers will increase.

(c) Name this phenomenon.

Ans:

(a) Green grasshoppers , because they stand out against brown

background of dry bushes

(b) Population of brown grasshoppers will increase

(c) This phenomenon is called natural selection.

24. What will be the amount of energy available to the organism of the 2nd

trophic level of a food chain, if the energy available at the first trophic

level is 10,000 joules.

Ans: 100 Joules of energy will be available to the organism of the 2nd trophic level.

25. The first trophic level of in a food chain is always a green plant. Why?

Ans: Only green plants can make their own food from sunlight. Green plants

therefore always occupy the 1st trophic level in a food chain.

26. In a food chain 10,000 joules of energy is available to the producer. How

much energy will be available to the secondary consumer to transfer to

the tertiary consumer

Ans: 10 Joules of energy will be available to the secondary consumer to transfer to

the tertiary consumer

27. Consider the following food chain which occurs in a forest

Grass Deer Lion

If 10000 J of solar energy is available to the grass, how much energy

would be available to the deer to transfer to the lion?

Ans: 10 J energy will be available to the deer to transfer it to the lion.

28. What will be the impact on ecosystems if bacteria, fungi/microorganisms

are removed from the environment

Ans: Complex organic molecules will not breakdown into simple inorganic

substances, preventing replenishment of soil

by Tt) in F1 generation. However in F2 generation she obtained both

tall and short plants. Using the above information explain the law of

dominance.

b. What is generic drift

12. a. Why traits such as intelligence and knowledge cannot be passed on to

next generation

b. How can we say that birds are closely related to reptiles and have

evolved from them?

13. Why are some pea plants tall and others short in nature? Explain with

reference to the role of genes in controlling characteristics.

Answer Key

1. Homology indicates that there is common ancestry between a human

hand and a wing of a bird. They have the same functional structure but

are different in external morphology and functions.

2. Gregor Johann Mendel

3. The transmission of characters from parent to offspring is known as

inheritance

4. Genes are the carrier of the genetic information for body functions and

passage from one generation to another

5. Gene is a unit of inheritance which consists of a linear segment of

chromosome or DNA that takes part in expressing a particular character

6. a. Genetics

b. Speciation

7. Due to appearance of variations caused by caused by reshuffling of

genes, mutations and acquired traits

8. Useful variations give advantage to individuals in obtaining more food,

adaptation to environmental changes and higher success in the struggle

for existence. They give benefit in survival and reproduction. Differential

reproduction increases the useful variations in the populations. Other

individuals with harmful variations will be eliminated. For example some

bacteria have ability to tolerate higher temperature. In warm environment

non-tolerant bacteria will be killed. Others with tolerance to high

temperature will survive and multiply

9. Human eggs are of one type with a chromosomal compliment of of 22+X.

Human sperms are of two types with chromosomal complement of 22+X

and 22+Y. Sex of the child will be determined by which sperm type fuses

with the egg. Sex of the child will be male if 22+ Y sperm fuses with the

egg (22+Y,22+X). It will be female if 22+X sperm fuses with the ovum

(22+X,22+X)

10. a. Purple

b. 25%

c. 1:2

11. a. Appearance of trait of shortness in F2 generation shows that the

trait was present in F1 generation but was not expressed while

the trait of tallness expressed while the trait of tallness

expressed itself. The trait which expresses itself in the presence

of contrasting form is called Dominant. The other trait which is

unable to express its effect in the presence of its contrasting trait

is known as Recessive

b. Genetic Drift: Is the random change in gene frequency in small

isolated population owing to factors other than natural selection

that results in fixation of certain alleles and elimination of some

others.

12 a. Traits like intelligence and knowledge are acquired characters.

They do not modify the DNA of germ cells. Therefore, they are

not passed on to progeny.

b. Cleidoic eggs and scales are found in both reptiles and birds,

indicating their close relationship. Birds have evolved from

reptiles as they have developed completely four –chambered

heart( instead of incompletely four-chambered heart of reptiles),

a toothless beak, fore –arms modified into wings and covering of

feathers (as found in dromaesaurs)

13. Genes control characters through the synthesis of specific proteins.

The proteins take part in formation of body structures, enzymes,

hormones and other biochemicasl. In case of height in Pea , the protein

takes part in producing hormone for growth in height. If the protein is

working efficiently, more hormone would be produced and pea plants

become tall. However, if the protein is less efficient, small quantity of

hormone would be formed and the Pea plant will remain short.

ANSWER KEY

HISTORY

L- THE RISE OF NATIONALISM IN EUROPE

L- NATIONALISM IN INDIA

1. A process by which the colonial state forced people to join the army.

2. C.R. Das and Motilal Nehru formed the swaraj party.

3. The nation – state is one where the great majority is conscious of a common identity and

share a common culture

4. To create unified economic territory allowing the unhindered movement of goods, capital

and people.

5. Giuseppe Mazzini: Giuseppe Mazzini was an Italian revolutionary, born in Genoa in 1807.

He was a member of the secret society of the Carbonari. At the age of 24, he was sent into

exile in 1831 for attempting a revolution in Liguria. He founded underground societies amed

„Young Italy‟ in Marseilles and „Young Europe‟ in Berne, whose members were like-minded

young men from Poland, France, Italy and the German States.

6. The French revolutionaries took many important steps to create a sense of collective

identity among the French people which were:

→ Ideas of la patrie (the fatherland) and le citoyen (the citizen) emphasising the notion

of a united community enjoying equal rights under a constitution.

→ A new French flag, a tricolour replaced the royal standard.

→ The Estates General was renamed the National Assembly and was elected by a

group of active citizens.

→ New hymns, oaths and martyrs commemorated in the name of the nation.

→ A central administrative system made uniform laws for the entire nation.

→ Discouraging regional dialects and promoting French as a common language of the

nation.

7. Marianne and Germania were respective female allegories for the French and the German

nation. They stood as personifications of ideals like 'liberty' and 'the republic'. The

importance of the way in which they were portrayed lay in the fact that the public could

identify with their symbolic meaning, and this would instil a sense of national unity in them.

8. Napoleon introduced following changes to make the administrative system more efficient in

the areas ruled by him:

→ He established civil code in 1804 also known as the Napoleonic Code. It did away

with all privileges based on birth. It established equality before law and secured the

right to property.

→ He simplified administrative divisions, abolished feudal system, and freed peasants

from serfdom and manorial dues.

→ In towns too, guild systems were removed. Transport and communication systems

were improved.

→ Peasants, artisans, businessmen and workers enjoyed the new found freedom.

9. Satyagraha was a novel method of mass agitation. The idea of Satyagraha emphasized

upon the power of truth and the need to search for truth. It suggested that if the cause was

true and if the struggle was against injustice, then physical force was not necessary to fight

the oppressor. Through non-violent methods a Satyagraha could appeal the conscience of

the oppressor by the power of truth, which was bound to win.

10. The Salt March was an effective symbol of resistance against colonialism because it was

done in revolt against a commodity- salt, used by the rich and the poor alike. The tax on

salt, and the government monopoly over its production was a severely oppressive

administrative move. The Salt March was effective also because Gandhiji met a large

number of commoners during the march and he taught them the true meaning of swaraj

and non-violence. By peacefully defying a law and making salt against government orders,

Gandhiji set forth an example to the whole nation of how the oppressor could be confronted

in a non-violent manner.

11. Political leaders differed sharply over the question of separate electorates because of

differences in opinion. While those supporting the cause of minorities and the dalits

believed that only political empowerment would resolve their social backwardness, others

like Gandhiji thought that separate electorates would further slow down the process of their

integration into society. Also, it was feared that the system of separate electorates would

gradually divide the country into numerous fragments because every community or class

would then ask for separate representations.

12. The history of nationalism in Britain unlike the rest of Europe because:

→ In Britain the formation of the nation-state was not the result of a sudden upheaval or

revolution.

→ The primary identities of the people who inhabited the British Isles were ethnic ones -

such as English, Welsh, Scot or Irish.

→ The Act of Union (1707) between England and Scotland resulted in the formation of

the 'United Kingdom of Great Britian' meant that England was able to impose its

influence on Scotland. Scotland's distinctive culture and political institutions were

systematically suppressed.

→ The Scottish highlanders were forbidden to speak their Gaelic language or wear their

national dress and large numbers were forcibly driven out of their homeland.

→ The English helped the Protestants of Ireland to establish their dominance over a

largely Catholic country. Catholic revolts against British dominance were

suppressed. Ireland was forcibly incorporated into the United Kingdom in 1801.

→ The symbols of the new Britain - the British flag, the national anthem, the English

language were actively promoted and the older nations survived only as subordinate

partners in this union.

13. Nationalist tensions emerged in the Balkans because of the spread of ideas of romantic

nationalism as also the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire that had previously ruled over

this area. The different Slavic communities in the Balkans began to strive for independent

rule. They were jealous of each other and every state wanted more territory, even at the

expense of others. Also, the hold of imperial power over the Balkans made the situation

worse. Russia, Germany, England, Austro-Hungary all wanted more control over this area.

These conflicts ultimately led to the First World War in 1914.

L- PRINT CULTURE AND THE MODERN WORLD

1. → The city of London was a magnet for the migrant populations due to the job opportunities provided by its dockyards and industries. By 1750, one out of every nine people of England and Wales lived in London. So, the population of London kept expanding through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

→ During the first world war, London began manufacturing motor cars and electrical goods. This increased the number of large factories, which in turn increased the number of people coming to the city in search of work.

2. Between the nineteenth and the twentieth century were primarily based on industrial and

technological advancements. Consequently, women had to work in households for a living, and this led to an increase in the number of domestic servants. Some women also began to earn by lodging out rooms, tailoring, washing or making matchboxes. With the coming of the First World War though, women once again joined the industrial sector.

3. Well-off Londoners supported the need to build housing for the poor in the nineteenth

century on account of three reasons: → one-room houses of the poor came to be seen as the breeding ground of diseases,

and hence, a threat to public health → Fire hazards became a worry in these over-crowded, badly ventilated, unhygienic

homes → There was a widespread fear of social disorder, especially after the 1917 Russian

Revolution. Housing schemes were undertaken to avoid a rebellion by the poor. 4. Bombay became an attractive destination for people seeking jobs after the British

administration replaced Surat with Bombay as its principal western port. The consequent increase in trade and industries led to a great influx of people. Thus, migrants were (and still are) an important facet of Bombay. Most of the people in the film industry were migrants themselves, and wanted to portray the plight of this class of people through films. Thus, a number of Bombay films were about the lives of migrants.

5. In mid-seventeenth century, Bombay became East India Company's principal western port,

replacing Surat. Later, by the end of the nineteenth century, it had become an important administrative as well as industrial centre. All through these years, the prospects for trade and commerce, and employment kept increasing, thereby making Bombay an attractive destination for migrants.

6. There were many forms of entertainment came up in nineteenth century England:

→ For the upper classes, an annual "London Season" comprised of opera, the theatre and classical music events was one of the sources of leisure.

→ For the working classes, pubs, discussions and meetings for political action served the same purpose.

→ Libraries, art galleries and museums were new types of entertainment brought about through the utilisation of state money.

→ Music halls and cinema theatres too became immensely popular with the lower classes.

→ Industrial workers were encouraged to undertake seaside vacations to rejuvenate from the banes of working in the polluting environment of factories.

7. Woodblock print was invented around the sixth century in China. It came to Europe, along

with Marco Polo, in 1295. Marco Polo returned to Italy after many years of exploration in China, and he brought the knowledge of woodblock print with him on his return.

8. Through the publications of his protestant ideas, Martin Luther challenged the orthodox

practices and rituals of the Roman Catholic Church. He wrote 95 theses criticizing many of the practices of the Roman Catholic Church. Luther‟s writings were immediately reproduced in vast numbers and read widely. This led to a division within the church and to the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. He also translated the New Testament of which 5000 copies were sold within a few days. These were impossible without the printing technology. Deeply grateful to the print, Luther said, “Printing is the ultimate gift of God and the greatest one.” This is the reason why Luther was in favour of print and spoke out in praise of it.

9. The Roman Catholic Church had to face many dissents from mid-16th century onwards.

People had written many books that interpreted the God and the creation in their own ways or as they liked. Therefore, the church banned such books and kept the record of such banned books. It was called the Index of Prohibited Books.

10. Gandhi considered that the liberty of speech, liberty of press and freedom of association

were three most powerful vehicles of expressing and cultivating public opinion. Therefore, he said the fight for Swaraj was a fight for liberty of speech, press, and freedom for association.

11 a) The spread of print culture in 19th century India benefitted Indian women through

learning and education. The liberal families supported the education of women to study or read as they believed education and reading would make the women corrupt. This led to the counter reaction, as most of the oppressed women began to study and read books and learnt writing in secrecy. Some literate women started to write books and their autobiographies. Rashasundari Devi, a young married girl wrote her autobiography “Amar Jiban” which was published in 1876. Overall, the print culture in 19th century India helped in spread of the feeling of self-reliance among Indian women

. (b) The poor people benefitted from the spread of print culture because of the availability

of books at a low price. The readership among them increased due to the publication of low priced books. Public libraries were also set up from the early 19th century, expanding the access to the books where all people could gain knowledge. Encouraged and inspired by the social reformers, the people like factory workers too set up their libraries and some even wrote books. Kashibaba, a Kanpur mill worker wrote and published „Chote aur Bade Ka Sawal‟.

(c) Indian reforms of 19th century utilized print culture as the most potent means of

spreading their reformist ideas and highlight the unethical issues. They began publishing various vernacular and English and Hindi newspapers and books through which they could spread their opinions against widow immolation, child marriage, monotheism, Brahmanical priesthood and idolatry to the common people of the country. In this way the spread of print culture in the 19th century provided them a space for attacking religious orthodoxy and to spread modern social and political ideas to the people of different languages across the country.

12. The print culture immensely helped the growth in the growth of nationalism in India in the

following ways - → Through vernacular press, oppressive methods of colonial rule were reported. → The misrule of government and its initiative on curbing the freedom of press spread

the nationalist ideas that demanded freedom of press. → Nationalist feelings and revolutionary ideas were secretly spread by the dailies like -

The Amrit Bazar Patrika, The Indian Mirror, Kesri, The Hindu, Bombay Samachar etc.Through these newspapers national leaders always tried to mobilize public opinion of Indian masses and unite them for the cause of nationalism.

→ The print culture helped in educating the people who then started to be gradually influenced by the reformist and nationalist ideas of the various Indian leaders like Raja Ram Mohun Roy, Tilak, Subhas Bose and Gandhiji etc.

iv. Industrial development helps agriculture in increasing their production and

make production processes very efficient.

Q.3 Explain the any 4 factors which influences the locat ion of an industry.

Ans. Industries maximize profits by reducing costs therefore industries are located

where the costs are minimum. The factors influencing are:

i. Access to Market: Areas/regions having high purchasing power provide

large market therefore such as luxury items producing industries are

located in these regions.

ii. Access to Raw Material:

Raw material used by industries should be cheap and easy to transport.

a. E.g. Industries based on cheap, bulky and weight-losing material

(ores) are located close to the sources of raw material such as

steel, sugar, and cement industries.

b. E.g. Industries using perishable raw material are located closer to

the source of the raw material such as Agro-processing and dairy

industries.

iii. Access to Labour Supply: Some types of manufacturing require skilled

labour therefore IT industries are located near urban-educational centres

where skilled labours are easily available.

iv. Access to Sources of Energy: Industries which use more power are

located close to the source of the energy supply such as the aluminium

industry.

v. Access to Transportation and Communication Facilities:

Speedy and efficient transport facilities reduce the cost of transport.

Therefore industries are attracted in regions having good transport

facilities.

vi. Government Policy: Governments adopt ‗regional policies‘ to promote

‗balanced‘ economic development and hence set up industries in

backward and tribal areas.

vii. Access to Agglomeration Economies: Many industries takes benefit from

nearness to a leader-industry and other industries.

works.

v. India exports yarn to Japan and other cotton goods to U.S.A., U.K., and

Russia.

Q.5 Explain why 60% of sugar mills are located in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

Ans. Sugar industry is located in the sugarcane growing regions because:

i. The raw material (sugarcane) used in this industry is bulky and difficult to

transport at low costs.

ii. The sucrose content in the sugarcane reduces during its transportation.

iii. Cooler climates allows the longer crushing season.

iv. Sugar industry is ideally suited for cooperative sector because it‘s a

Q.9. Which is the most abundantly available fossil fuel in India? What are its three

major forms? Write main features of each form. (2008)

Ans. Coal is the most abundantly available fossil fuel in India. It provides a

substantial part of the nation‘s energy requirement. India has vast and rich

reserves of coal, distributed in different regions of India.

The Peninsular Plateau region, especially the Damodar Valley Region of

Jharkhand and West Bengal, the Son, Mahanadi, Godavari and Wardha Valleys

of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh

have rich deposits of Gondwana coal. In the north-eastern states of Meghalaya,

Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland, tertiary coal is found. In Tamil Nadu,

lignite deposits are found.

The three major forms of coal are anthracite, bituminous and lignite.

Anthracite is the highest quality coal with more than 80 percent carbon content

and very low moisture content. It is hard, compact and deep-black in colour. It is

found in the Jharia coalfields of Jharkhand in small quantities. Bituminous is the

most widely used coal. High grade bituminous coal is used in metallurgical

industries, especially for melting iron in blast furnaces. So it is also known as

metallurgical coal. Bituminous coal contains 60 to 80 percent carbon, low

moisture, and has high heating capacity. It is formed when coal has been buried

deep and subjected to increased temperatures. It is found in large quantities in

Jharia coalfield of Jharkhand and Raniganj coalfields of West Bengal.

Lignite contains about 60 percent carbon and has high moisture content. It is

low grade brown coal which is soft and has low heating capacity. It is used in

thermal power stations. Principal reserves are found in Neyveli in Tamil Nadu.

Q10. ―Solar energy has a bright future in India‖ Support the statemen ts with three

facts.

Ans.

(i) Solar energy will be able to minimise the dependence of rural households

on firewood and dung cakes.

(ii) Contribute to environmental conservation.

(iii) Supply adequate manure in agriculture.

Q.11. What is rainwater harvesting? Explain any two different methods of rainwater

harvesting in different regions of India.

Ans. Rainwater harvesting is a system in which rain water is collected through

various techniques and then collected water is used in many ways.

(i) Hill region - In hilly region people built diversion channels like the ‗‗guls‘‘

or ‗‗kuls‘‘ in the western Himalayas for agriculture. With these channel

rainwater is used in meaningful ways.

(ii) Arid region - In Rajasthan almost all houses had underground tanks.

These tanks were part of well developed rooftop rainwater harvesting

system. They were connected to the sloping roof of the houses through a

pipe. Rain falling on the rooftops would travel down the pipe and get

stored in these underground ‗tankas‘.

Q.12. What is a multipurpose river valley project? Give any four objectives of the

multipurpose river valley project.

Ans. The multipurpose river valley project is a river project in which a dam is

constructed on the river and stored water is then used in a number of for like

irrigation, power generation etc.

Four objectives of multipurpose projects are :—

(i) To check floods by regulating flow of water.

(ii) To generate hydropower for our industries and homes.

(iii) To provide irrigation facilities. This helps in increasing agriculture

productivity and bringing more area under cultivation.

(iv) To check soil Erosion.

Q.13. Describe three traditional methods of rainwater harvesting practised in India.

Ans. In India traditionally rainwater harvesting is done in the following ways:—

(i) In hilly regions people built diversion channels like the guls or kuls for

agriculture.

(ii) In Rajasthan rooftop rainwater harvesting is practised.

(iii) In Bengal people built inundation channels to irrigate their fields.

(iv) In arid and semi-arid regions people convert their agricultural fields into

rainfed storage structures.

Q.14. ‗Three-fourths of the earth‘s surface is covered with water but there is still

scarcity of water across the globe.‘ Explain giving three reasons.

Ans. Water scarcity is due to the following causes :—

(i) Water availability varies over space and time mainly due to the variation in

seasonal and annual precipitation.

(ii) Rapid urbanisation is another factor for water scarcity.

(iii) Rapid increase in population that demand more and more water.

(iv) Industrialisation is another cause, large industrial houses are using more

and more water, they also require more water to generate electricity.

(v) Rising income levels also create more demand for water.

(vi) 96.5 per cent of the total volume of world‘s water is estimated to exist as

oceans and only 2.5 per cent as fresh water. Nearly 70 per cent of this

freshwater occurs as ice sheets and glaciers, while a litlle less than 30 per

cent is stored as groundwater in the world‘s aquifers.

projects had to destruction of flora and fauna.

Q.16. Why are different water harvesting systems considered a viable alternative both

socio - economically and environmentally in a country like India?

Ans. No single method can be applicable everywhere. It is true in rain case of water

harvesting system too, as geographically there are different regions. Different

regions have different methods.

(i) In Hilly region:- Through kuls or guls it is very easy to divert water for

irrigation. It is a low cost method.

(ii) In Arid region:- Like in Rajasthan rainwater is collected on roofs, then

piped into ground storage system. That method is also economical,

needing no extra effort.

(iii) In villages agricultural fields are converted into ponds where rainwater is

collected. All these methods are very easy and viable

Q.18. Explain briefly any four features of intensive subsistence farming in India.

Ans. Four features of intensive subsistence farming in India are as follows :

(i) This type of farming is practised in areas of high population pressure on

land, mainly in the east and south of India. Intensive Subsistence farming

is dominant in West Bengal, Assam, Orissa, Bihar, eastern Uttar Pradesh

and coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. There is

tremendous pressure on agricultural land in these areas.

(ii) Farmer and his family produce mainly cereal crops like rice and millets for

subsistence and for local market.

absent.

Q.22. Explain any four features of primitive subsistence agriculture in India.

Ans.

(i) This type of farming is practised on small patches of land with the help of

primitive tools like hoe, dao and digging sticks and family labour.

(ii) This type of farming depends upon Monsoons, natural fertility of soil and

environmental suitability.

(iii) It is a ‗slash and burn‘ agriculture. Farmers clear a patch of land and

produce crops for their sustenance.

(iv) When the soil fertility decreases, farmers shift to new area, clear forest by

burning and again sow crops.

Q23. What is resource planning? Give three phases of resource planning.

Ans. Resource planning is proper and judicious planning of resources. Three

processes are involved. Resources are put to use according to availability and

needs for development of the Economy.

The three processes are :-

(a) Identification and inventory of resources across various regions of the

country. It involves surveying, mapping, qualitative and quantitative

estimation and measurement of the resources.

(b) Evolving a planning structure, endowed with appropriate technological

skill and institutional set up for implementing resource development plans.

(c) Synchronizing the resource development with overall national

development plans.

Q.24. Explain any three steps that can be taken to solve the problem of land

degradation.

Ans. (a) Contour ploughing :Ploughing along the contour lines can decelerate the

flow of water down the slopes.

(b) Terrace cultivation : Steps can be cut out on the slopes, making terraces.

Terrace cultivation restricts erosion.

(c) Strip cropping : Large fields can be divided into strips. Strips of grass are

left to grow between the crops. This breaks up the force of the wind

reducing its effect.

Q.25. Highlight any three problems associated with the indiscriminate use of resources

by the human beings.

Ans. Indiscriminate use of resources creates following problems :–

(i) Global ecological crises such as global warming.

(ii) It has also led to depletion of the ozone layer.

(iii) It has also caused environmental pollution and land degradation.

The resultant threat to ecology and environment has put the future of our planet

in danger. Natural disasters have become very frequent. Many species of flora

and fauna have already become extinct.

Q.26. Describe any three types of soil available in India.

Ans. Three important soils of India are :—

(i) Alluvial Soils :- It is most important and widespread soil of India. The

entire northern plain is made of this soil.

Alluvial have been deposited by three important Himalayan rivers —

Ganga, Brahmaputra and Indus. These soils consist of various proportions

of sand, silt, and day.

These are of two types :Khadar and Bangar. They contain potash,

phosphoric acid and limestone.

(ii) Black Soil :- These soils are black in colour and are also known as Regur

or cotton soils. This type of soil is found in Deccan plateau region and is

made up of lava flows. They are well known for their capacity to hold

moisture. They are rich in calcium carbonate, magnesium, potash and

lime.

(ii) Laterite Soil :- Laterite soil develops in areas of high temperature and

heavy rainfall. This is the result of intense leaching. Humus content of soil

is very low. These are found in Karanataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Madhya

Pradesh and the hilly areas of Orissa and Assam

road transport is due to the following reasons –

i. Construction cost of roads is much lower than that of railway lines,

ii. Roads can traverse comparatively more dissected and undulating

topography

iii. Roads can negotiate higher gradients of slopes and as such can

traverse mountains such as the Himalayas,

iv. Road transport is economical in transportation of few persons and

relatively smaller amount of goods over short distances,

v. It also provides door-to-door service, thus the cost of loading and

unloading is much lower,

vi. Road transport is also used as a feeder to other modes of transport such

as they provide a link between railway stations, air and sea ports.

Q.29 What are super highways? Name 3 major super highway projects.

Ans. Super highways are six lane highways connecting major cities and ports of

the country for speedy movement of goods and passengers. They are developed

by NHAI for reducing time and distance. 3 super highways are:

Q 30. Describe the importance of Pipelines in India.

Ans. Pipelines are important for -

i. They are used for transporting crude oil, petroleum products and natural gas

from oil fields and natural gas fields to refineries, fertilizer factories and big

thermal power plants.

ii. Solids can also be transported through a pipeline when converted into slurry.

iii. Because of pipelines, refineries at Barauni, Mathura, Panipat and gas

based fertilizer plants, could be located in the interiors of India.

iv. Initial cost of laying pipelines is high but subsequent running costs are minimal.

v. Pipelines rules out trans-shipment (during transportation) losses or delays.

ECONOMICS

Q.1. On the basis of the given table answer the following questions:

(a) Calculate the average income of country A and B.

(b) Are both the countries equally developed?

(c) Which country is better and why?

Ans.

(a) Average income of country A is – Rs. 10,000

Average income of country B is – Rs. 10,000

(b) No – Both the countries are not equally developed

(c) Country ‗A‘ is better because distribution of income is more or less equal.

Q.2. Why are public facilities needed for the development of the country? Explain any

four public facilities.

Ans. Public facilities are essential for the social and economic development.

Economic development and social development are both dependent on public

facilities such as education, health etc. Without these people cannot achieve

their full potential. Some important public facilities are –

(i) Construction of roads, railways, generating electricity, developing ports

etc. These are used by people so they have to be developed.

(ii) Providing essential goods at cheap rates or below their cost price so that

even poor people can afford them. Such activities have to be undertaken

by the government.

(iii) Providing adequate health and education facilities to each and every

citizen is a primary duty of any government. Such services are essentia l

because a healthy and educated citizen is an asset for the country.

(iv) Providing safe drinking water, housing and nutritious food to children etc.,

are other such public facilities which are essential.

Q.3. What do you mean by Human Development Index? What are its three

components?

compare the country‘s development out of 177 countries.

The main components of Human Development Index are :-

(i) Educational levels of the people.

(ii) Health status of the people.

(iii) Per capita income.

Q 4.. Why is sustainability important for development? Give two suggestions to achieve the

sustainability of development.

Ans. Sustainability is very important for development because if all development activities are

carried out without paying attention to environment and other natural factors then

development itself will become a danger for mankind. For example, if forests are cut

relentlessly then global warming will destroy everything on the Earth. In that scenario

what would be the use of development.

To achieve sustainability

(a) We must be less dependent on non-renewable resources.

(b) We must live according to natural conditions and use natural produce as far as

possible.

Q 5. ‗For development people look at a mix of goals.‘ Support the statement with suitable

examples.

Ans. It is true that if women are engaged in paid work, their dignity in the household and

society increases. However, it is also the case that if there is respect for women there

would be more sharing of household work and a greater acceptance of women working

outside. A safe and secure environment may allow more women to take up a variety of

jobs or run a business.

Q.6. Explain the difference in employment condition in organised and unorganized

sectors?

Ans.

Q.7. Explain the objectives of implementing the NREGA 2005.

(iii) If government fails in its duty to provide employment, it will give

unemployment allowance to the worker.

(iv) The types of work that would in future help to increase agricultural

production will be given preference under the Act.

Q.8. Explain the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors by giving examples of each.

Ans. Primary Sector :- All those economic activities that are undertaken by directly

using natural resources are included in primary sector. For example, mining,

forestry, fishing, poultry etc.

Secondary sector :- It cover activities in which natural products are changed into

other forms through ways of manufacturing that we generally associate with

industrial activities. For example, after obtaining a crop, say cotton, we need

machines to change it into yarn and cloth.

Tertiary Sector :- These are the activities that help in the development of the

primary and secondary sectors. These activities, by themselves do not produce

any good but they are an aid or a support for the production process. For

example, any good produced in primary or secondary sector need to be

transported to the market. That will be done by tertiary sector. It is also called

service sector.

Q.9. Write any three ways to increase employment opportunities for people in India.

Ans. Employment opportunities for people can be increased in the following ways :–

(a) In villages more irrigational facilities should be provided so that farmers

can grow more crops and they would be engaged thoughout the year.

(b) Agro-based industries should be set up in villages so that farmers could

get good prices for their products. For example, sugar mills.

(c) People should be given easy loan facilities which would help them to start

their own enterprises.

Q.10. Suggest any three ways to create more employment avenues in Urban sector.

Ans. (i) Industrialisation – Developing private sector industries by giving more

incentives

(ii) Creating Special Economic Zones in urban areas.

(iii) Laying more emphasis on export of goods.

(iv) Developing new sectors like tourism-promoting regional craft industry.

(v) Expanding IT sector.

Q 11. What steps should be taken to create more employment? Explain.

Ans. Following steps can be taken to create more employment :—

(i) Increase in irrigation facilities :- Without irrigation only a single crop is

grown in most agricultural fields. It means less working opportunities, but

if irrigation is provided two or three crops can be grown on the same field.

So more people will be employed.

(ii) Improved Roads and Transportation: - If village roads are better built,

good transportation facilities are provided then, surplus produce could be

sold in city market. This would fetch more income.

(iii) Provide them easy loan: - If people are provided easy bank loans then

they could start small business which will make them self dependent.

Q.12. Explain how public sector contributes to the economic development of India.

Ans. Public sector is an important sector for the development of economy.

(i) There are several things needed by the society as a whole but which the

private sector will not provide at a reasonable cost. As huge sum of

amount is needed which private sector cannot afford, so public sector is

needed there. For example, building bridges, railway etc.

(ii) There are several basic activities which government has to support, for

example, selling electricity at lower cost, providing drinking water at

affordable rate etc.

(iii) There are some activities which government has to perform like providing

health and education facilities. So public sector is needed.

Q13. What do you mean by tertiary sector? Explain the role of this sector in the Indian

economy.

Ans. The economic activities that support primary and secondary sectors are included

in tertiary sector. This includes transport facilities, banking facilities, medical

facilities, education facilities etc. This sector is very important for an economy.It

is going to be more important for India because due to rapid industrialisation

several activities are needed like, transport, banking, marketing, insurance etc.

Skilled educated class is required for all sector which has to be provided by

education sector. When income level increase people demand more services

like catering, tourism etc.Several new services like information technology have

come up which are providing great employment opportunities.

Q.14. Explain how a shift has taken place between sectors in developed countries?

Ans. About more than 100 years ago new methods of manufacturing and

technological revolution took place. People who worked in farms began working

in factories in large numbers in new urban centres. Secondary sector gradually

became the most important in terms of production and employment. Hence, over

a time, a shift had taken place from primary to secondary sector. In the past 100

years there has been a further shift from secondary to tertiary sector in

developed countries. The service sector has become the most important in

terms of total production. Most of the working people are currently employed in

the service sector. This is the general pattern observed in developed countries.

Q.15. Explain any three ways in which MNCs set up or control production in other

countries.

Ans. Multinational Corporations (MNCs) set up their factories or production units

close to markets where they can get desired type of skilled or unskilled labour at

low costs along with other factors of production. After ensuring these conditions

MNCs set up production units in the following ways:

(a) Jointly with some local companies of the existing country.

(b) Buy the local companies and then expand its production with the help of

modern technology.

(c) They place orders for small producers and sell these products under their

own brand name to the customers worldwide.

Q.16. Why did India put barriers on foreign trade and investment after independence?

Why was the policy changed in 1991? Mention any two reasons.

Ans. Soon after independence India put barriers on foreign trade and independent to

create a large industrial base which helped in increasing the industrial

production. Policies were changed in 1991 because:

(a) Global competition of Indian producers will improve the quality of Indian

goods.

(b) Reduce the problems like unemployment, poverty, inflation etc. and

support industrialisation.

Q.17. Suggest any three measures to make globalisation just and fair ?

Ans. Globalisation means unification or integration of the domestic economy with the

world economy through trade, capital and technology flows.

Government can ensure fair globalization to its people in the following ways:

(a) Government needs to care about the labour laws so that workers get their

trade union rights and support small producers to improve their

performance.

(b) Government can negotiate with world trade organisation for fairer rules

and can align with developing countries to stand against the domination of

developed countries.

Q.18. What is WTO? What are its main aims? Mention any one of its limitation.

Ans. World Trade Organisation (WTO) : It is an international organisation which was

established on 1st January, 1995 by the members of the UN to promote trade

among countries.

The main aims of WTO are :

(a) To act as a forum for multilateral trade negotiations.

(b) Resolve trade disputes.

(c) Liberalise international trade and follow free trade for all.

One limitation of WTO is :

Developed countries unfairly impose trade barriers whereas WTO forces

the developing countries to follow completely free trade.

Q.19. Why is ‗tax‘ on imports known as a trade barrier? Why did the Indian

Government impose barriers to foreign trade and foreign investments after

independence? Give three reasons.

Ans. Tax on imports imposed by the government to regulate foreign trade and

investment is known as a trade barrier.

Government imposed barriers on foreign trade and investment for the following

reasons :

rate, collateral, documentation and the mode of repayment.

Informal Sector Loans : Informal sector loans include loans from moneylenders,

traders, employers, relatives, friends etc. Features for informal sector loans are :

(i) Their credit activities are not governed by any organisation, therefore they

charge higher rate of interest.

(ii) Informal sector loan providers know the borrowers personally, and hence

they provide loans on easy terms without collateral and documentation.

Q.21. What are the two main reasons for formal credit not being available to the rural

poor? Why is there a need to expand rural credit?

Ans. The two main reasons for formal credit not being available to rural poor are :

(i) Absence of collateral and documentation is the main reason which

prevents rural poor from getting bank loans.

(ii) The arrangements of informal sector loans are flexible in terms of

timelines, procedural requirements, interest rates etc. They are adjustable

according to the needs and convenience of the borrower.

There is a need to expand rural credit from the side of formal sector because:

(i) Informal sectors exploit rural poors by putting them in debt-traps.

(ii) Cheap and affordable credit for rural poors is important for the country‘s

overall development.

Q.22. ‗Cheap and affordable credit is crucial for the country‘s development‘. Explain

the statement with four points.

OR

Why do we need to expand formal source of credit in India ? Explain any four

reasons.

Ans. If the loans are cheap and affordable, this can lead to countries development in

the following ways :(i) Cheap loans results in higher incomes and higher profits

which can help in the expansion of business.

(ii) More and more people can be benefitted by the loans in their businesses.

(iii) This can help in making more and more agricultural activities, small -scale

industries etc. Credit can be distributed more equally which helps in

benefitting the poors by the help of cheaper loans.

Q.23. Describe four features of Self-Help Group (SHG).

Ans. The features of Self-Help Group (SHG) are :

(i) People form their personal groups for the purpose of savings and also

lend money among themselves.

(iii) They can also avail loans from banks if their savings are regular.

(iv) Decisions regarding the savings and loan activities are taken by group

members.

Q.24. What are the modern forms of money currency in India? Why is it accepted as a

medium of exchange? How is it executed?

Ans. Modern forms of money include currency (paper notes) and coins. It is accepted

as a medium of exchange because the currency is authorised by the government

of India. No individual in India can legally refuse a payment made in rupee. Any

person holding money can easily exchange it with any commodity or service that

he desires. It acts as intermediate in the exchange process of different

countries.

Q.25. Explain any three ways by which people may be exploited in the market.

Ans. Consumer may be exploited in the market in the following ways:

(a) Substandard quality: Selling of medicines beyond their expiry date, supply

of defective home appliances etc. are the activities by traders in which

they sell substandard quality of goods.

(b) Higher prices: Traders sometimes charge a price higher than the reteil

price (MRP).

(c) Duplicate Articles: Many false and duplicate products are being sold to the

consumers.

Q.26. What are the rights given under COPRA for the redressal of grievances?

Explain.

Ans. The rights given under COPRA for the redressal of grievances are as follows:

(i) Right to safety: This is the right to be protected against the marketing of

various malpractices when he knows his rights and the remedies available

to him.

Q.27. Briefly explain the three-tier quasi-judicial machinery set up under the Consumer

Protection Act of 1986.

Ans. The government enacted a specific law called the Consumer Protection Act,

1985. Most important feature of the Act is the provision for setting up a three -tier

system as follows:

(i) National Consumer Commission (ii) State Consumer Commission (iii) District

Forum

These courts look into the grievances and complaints of the consumers against

the traders and manufacturers and provide the necessary relief and

compensation to the consumers.

Q.28. What is the rationale behind the enactment of Consumer Protection Act, 1986?

Ans. Consumer exploitation has given rise to consumer organisations which started

writing articles, publicity through media and holding exhibitions at various areas

to make the consumer aware. Consumer groups were formed to look into the

malpractices at the ration shops and overcrowding in the road passenger

transport. Government started taking initiatives to correct, faulty business

practices which are against the consumers. A major step taken by the

government in 1986 was the enactment of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986.

Q.29. ―There is a need for rules and regulations to ensure protection of consumers.‖

Give two arguments in support of the statement.

Ans.

(i) There is a need for rules and regulations to protect the consumers from

unfair trade practices. For example – A shopkeeper weighs less than the

actual quantity and charges more.

(ii) In order to make high profit, some manufacturers of oil, ghee, butter,

khoya etc. stoop to adulteration. Such things prove very injurious to the

health of the customers. Hence, rules and regulations protect the

consumers from such unethical trade practices.

Q 30. Analyse the functions of Consumer Protection Councils.

Ans. Consumer Protection Councils help the consumers against any harassments or

cheating from any business or economic agency. If any businessman resorting

to unfair means he shall be taken to task by councils set up at the district, state

and national level. Consumers‘ compla ints are heard by them and with their

cooperation, the councils try to get the culprits duly punished and the grievances

of the consumers redressed. The councils educate the consumers to be aware

of their rights and how to protect them. (The rights, for example, of information,

right to choose, right to be heard, right to be protected against goods hazardous

to life and property etc.) The councils see to it that the customers are

compensated for the loss they incurred in buying defective goods or getting poor

services. For example, a bank was fined for sloppy services, a hospital had to

pay compensation to a patient for medical negligence etc.

state. It means that, there is (or should be) power sharing among different organs

of the government in all democracies.

7. Explain the features of the Belgian model.

Ans. BELGIAN MODEL

Some of the elements of the Belgian Model:

Constitution prescribes that the number of Dutch and French speaking

ministers shall be equal in the central government.

Some special laws require the support of majority of members from each

linguistic group.

No single community can make decisions unilaterally.

Many powers of the central government have been given to state

governments of the 2 regions of the country.

The state governments are not subordinate to the central government.

Brussels has a separate government in which both the communities have

equal representation.

- and other opportunities and ignored their interests.

The Sri Lankan Tamils launched parties and struggles for the: -

recognition of Tamil as an official language.

- for regional autonomy and ;

- equality of opportunity in securing education and jobs.

But their demand for more autonomy to provinces populated by the Tamils

was repeatedly denied.

By the 1980s, several political organisations were formed demanding an

independent Tamil Eelam (state) in northern and eastern parts of Sri

9. Why power sharing is desirable (or needed) ?

Ans. 1. PRUDENTIAL REASON: power sharing is good because it helps to

reduce the possibility of conflict between social groups.

2. MORAL REASON :

- power sharing is the very spirit of democracy.

- A democratic rule involves sharing power with those affected by its

exercise, and who have to live with its effects

PRUDENTIAL REASONS stress that power sharing will bring out better

outcomes, MORAL REASONS emphasise the very act of power sharing is

desirable.

10. What are the different forms of power sharing in modern democracies? Give an

example of each of these.

Ans. Forms of power sharing in modern democracies: -

(i) Horizontal distribution of power:

Power is shared among different organs of government such as :

Legislature , Executive and Judiciary.

It allows different organs of government placed at the same level to

exercise different powers.

Such a separation ensures that none of the organs can exercise unlimited

power.

This arrangementis called a system of checks and balances.

Examples : legislature - parliament and state assemblies.

Executive - post of prime minister, president and civil servants.

Judiciary - post of chief justice and other judges.

(ii) Vertical distribution of power: -

Power can be shared among governments at different levels:

(a) A general government for the entire country and;

(b) governments at the provincial or regional level.

Division of powers involves higher and lower levels of government in a

hiererchical manner.

Such a general government for the entire country is usually called federal

government.

The governments at the provincial or regional level are called by different

names in different countries.

Examples: In India, we have central (or union), state and local

governments.

(iii) Distribution of power among different social groups: -

Power can be shared among different social groups such as the religious

and linguistic groups.

This type of arrangement is meant to give space in the government and

administration to diverse social groups.

This method is used to give minority communities a fair share in power.

Examples: - “community government “in belgium is a good example.

-"reserved constituencies" in parliament and assemblies.

(iv) Distribution of power among political parties, pressure groups, and movements: -

Power can also be seen in the way political parties, pressure groups, and

movements control or influence those in power.

In a democracy, the citizens must have the freedom to choose among

various contenders for power.

In contemporary democracies, this takes the form of competition among

different parties.

They also will have a share in governmental power, either through

participation in governmental committees or bringing influence on the

decision making process.

Examples: interest groups; such as those of traders, businessmen,

industrialists, farmers, and industrial workers.

11. Describe the main features of federalism

Ans. Key features of federalism

● There are two or more levels (or tiers) of government.

● Different tiers of government govern the same citizens but each tier has its own

jurisdiction in specific matters of legislation, taxation and administration.

● The jurisdictions of the respective levels or tiers of government are specified in

the constitution. So the existence and authority of each tier of government is

constitutionally guaranteed.

● The fundamental provisions of the constitution cannot be unilaterally changed by

one level of government. Such changes require the consent of both the levels of

government.

● The highest court acts as an umpire if disputes arise between different levels of

government in the exercise of their respective powers.

● Sources of revenue for each level of government are clearly specified to ensure

its financial autonomy.

● The federal system thus has dual objectives: to safeguard and promote unity of

the country and to accomodate regional diversity.

12. Explain the power sharing arrangements in our country.

Ans. According to the constitution of India –

● UNION LIST

● This list includes subjects of national importance such as defence of the country,

foreign affairs, banking, communications and currency. They are included in this

list because we need a uniform policy on these matters.

● The union government alone can make laws relating to the subjects mentioned.

● State list

● Contains subjects of state and local importance such as police, trade, commerce,

agriculture and irrigation.

● Concurrent list

● This list includes subjects that are of common interest of both the Union

government and the State government such as education, marriage, adoption

and succession.

● Both the governments can make laws on the subject mentioned above.

● If their laws conflict with each other , the law made by the union government will

prevail

● Residuary subjects

● According to our constitution, the union government has the power to legislate on

these ‘residuary ‘subjects.

● For example computer software.

13. How federalism is practiced?

Ans. The real success of federalism in India can be amounted to the nature of

democratic policies in our country.

● This ensured that the spirit of federalism and desire to live together became a

shared ideal for our country.

● Linguistic state –

● The creation of the Linguistic state was the first and major test for democratic

politics of our country

● In 1947, the boundaries of several old states of India were changed in order to

create new states.

● This was done to ensure that people who spoke the same language lived in the

same state.

● Some states were created not on the basis of language but to recognize

differences based on culture, ethnicity or geography.

● These includes states like Nagaland, Uttarakhand and Jharkhand.

● Some national leaders feared that it would lead to the disintegration of the

country.

● But the experience has shown that the formation of linguistic states has actually

made the country, more united. It has also made administration easier.

● Language policy

● Second test for India federation is the language policy.

● Our constitution did not give the status of national languages to any one

language.

● Hindi was identified as the official but it is mother tongue of only 40% Indians.

● Beside Hindi, there are 21 other languages recognized as scheduled languages

by the constitution.

● States too have their own official languages.

● Continue the use of English along with Hindi for official purpose.

Centre – State relations

● Restructuring the Centre- state relations is one more way in which federalism has

been strengthened in practice

● How the constitutional arrangements for sharing power work in reality depends

on how the ruling parties and leaders follow these arrangements.

● Earlier the central government would often misuse the constitution dismiss the

state governments that were controlled by the rival parties.

● All this changed significantly after 1990. This period saw the rise of regional

parties in many states of the country. It was called the era of COALITION

GOVERNMENT at the center.

● This led to a new culture of power sharing and respect for the autonomy of state

governments.

14. List the factors which lead to the origin of social differences?

Ans. Origins of social differences

● Based on accident of birth –

● Normally we don’t chose to belong to our community. We belong to it simply

because we are born in it.

● We all experiences social differences based on accident of birth in our everyday

lives.

● People around us are male or female; they are tall and short etc.

● But all kinds of social differences are not based on accident of birth.

● The differences based on our choices –

● For example, people are atheist, they don’t believe in God or any religion. Some

people chose to follow a religion.

● Most of us choose what to study, which occupation to do .

● All these lead to formation of social groups that are based on our choices.

● Every social difference does not lead to social division –

● Societal differences divide similar people from one another, but they also unite

very different people.

● People belonging to different social groups sharing differences and similarities

cutting across boundaries of their group.

15. Discuss three factors that determine the outcome of politics of social divisions.

Ans. Three determinants

● First of all, the outcome depends on how people perceive their identities.

● If people see their identities in singular and exclusive terms it becomes very

difficult to accommodate.

● It is much easier if the people see that their identities are multiple and are

complementary with the national identity.

● This is how most people in our country see their identity: they think of

themselves as Indians as well as belonging to a state or language too

● Second it depends on how political leaders rise the demands of any

community.

● It is easier to accommodate demands that are within constitutional framework

and are not at the cost of another community

● The demand for ‘only Sinhala ‘was at the cost of the interest and identity of

the Tamil community in Sri Lanka.

● Thirdly, it depends on how the government reacts to demands of different

groups.

● In a democracy, political expression of social divisions is very normal and can

be healthy.

● History shows that democracy is the best way to fight for recognition and also

to accommodate diversity.

16. Describe the political participation of women in India?

Ans. political participation of women in India: -

The proportion of women in legislature has been very low.

The percentage of elected women members in lok sabha has crossed

10% of lts total strength only by 2009.

Their share in state assemblies is less than 5%.

In the government, cabinets are largely all - male dominated even though

we had women prime minister and chief ministers.

India is among the bottom group of nations in the world in terms political

participation of women.

17. What are the suggestions given to improve political participation of women in

India?

Ans. Suggestions to improve political participation of women in India:

To have a fair proportion of women in the elected bodies.

For Instance, 1/3 seats are reserved for women in local government

bodies: both rural and urban.

There is a need to increase the number of women leaders in national

parliament and state assemblies also

18. Write the constitutional provisions which states that India practices the concept of

secular state?

Ans. Concept of secular state: -

Our Constitution does not give a special status to any religion.

There is no official religion for the Indian state.

The Constitution provides to all individuals and communities freedom to

profess, practice and propagate any religion, or not to follow any.

The Constitution prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion.

The Constitution allows the state to intervene in the matters of religion in

order to ensure equality within religious communities. For example, it bans

untouchability.

19. Describe the various forms taken by caste in Indian politics

Ans. Various forms taken by caste in politics: -

When parties choose candidates in elections, they keep in mind the caste

composition of the electorate and ;

Nominate candidates from different castes so as to muster necessary

support to win elections.

When governments are formed, political parties usually take care that

representatives of different castes and tribes find a place in it.

20. Why do we need political parties?

Ans. . Necessity :-

Modern democracies cannot exist without political parties.

The rise of political parties is directly linked to the emergence of representative

democracies.

Large societies need representative democracy.

as societies became large and complex, they needed :

Some agency to gather different views on various issues.

To present these to the government.

some way to bring various representatives

Together so that a responsible government could be formed.

A mechanism to support or restrain the government, make policies, justify or

oppose them.

In short, political parties fulfill these needs that every representative government

has.

We can say that parties are a necessary condition for a democracy.

21. Explain the following party systems :

(a) one party system

In this system, only 1 party is allowed to control and run the

government.

Legally, people are free to form political parties.

But it does not happen because the electoral system does not

permit free competition for power.

for example : china , only communist party is allowed to rule

(b) two party system

In this system, power usually changes between 2 main parties.

Several other parties may exist, contest elections and win a few

seats in the national legislatures.

But only the 2 main parties have a serious chance of winning

majority of seats to form the government.

For example : the united states of america and the united kingdom.

22. Explain the 3 challenges faced by democracies in today's world?

Ans. 1. FOUNDATIONAL CHALLENGE: -

Different countries face different kinds of challenges.

At least one - fourth of the globe is still not under democratic government.

The challenge for democracy in these parts of the world is very stark.

these countries face the FOUNDATIONAL CHALLENGE OF : -

making the transition to democracy and ;

Then instituting democratic government.

this involves : -

Bringing down the existing non - democratic regime.

Keeping military away from controlling government.

Establishing a sovereign and functional state.

2. CHALLENGE OF EXPANSION: -

Most of the established democracies face this challenge.

THIS INVOLVES : -

Applying the basic principle of democratic government across all the

regions.

Different social groups and various institutions.

Ensuring greater power to local governments.

extension of federal principle to all the units of the

Federation.

Inclusion of women and minority groups, etc.

less decisions should remain outside the arena of

Democratic control.

Most countries including India and other democracies like the US face this

challenge.

3. CHALLENGE OF DEEPENING OF DEMOCRACY: -

It is faced by every democracy in one form or another.

THIS INVOLVES : -

strengthening of the institutions and practices of democracy

Ordinary people have different expectations from democracy.

So, it takes different meanings and paths in different parts of the world.

It usually means strengthening those institutions that help people's

participation and control.

this requires an attempt to bring down the control and ;

influence of the rich and powerful people in making governmental decision
