SECTION – A (READING) 20 Marks

1.Read the following passage carefully. (10 Marks)

INDOOR POLLUTANTS
1. Call it a blessing or a curse of Mother Nature, we have to breathe in over 10,000 litres of air in
a day (more than four million litres in a year) to remain alive. By making it essential for life, God
has wished that we try to keep the air we breathe clean. Everyone can see the food that is not
clean and perhaps refrain from eating it, but one cannot stop breathing even if one can feel the
air to be polluted.
2. Several harmful and noxious substances can contaminate the air we breathe. Generally, much
is said and written about outdoor air pollution, most of which is due to vehicular and industrial
exhausts.
3. Given the fact that most of us spend over 90% of our time indoors, it is most important to
recognise that the air we breathe in at home or in offices can be polluted. It can be a cause of
ill-health. Air pollutants that are generally present in very low concentrations can assume
significance in closed ill-ventilated places.
4. The indoor air pollution can lead to allergic reactions and cause irritation to the skin, the eyes
and the nose. But as is logical to assume, the brunt of insult by pollutants is borne by the lungs.
It can lead to the development of fresh breathing problems, especially in those who have
allergic tendencies, or it can worsen the existing respiratory illnesses like asthma and
bronchitis.
5. There can be several sources of indoor air pollution. Tobacco smoke is one of the most
important air pollutants in closed places. “Passive smoking” or environmental tobacco smoke
(ETS) pollution can lead to all the harmful effects of tobacco smoking seen in the smokers in
their non-smoking companions. ETS as a health hazard has been unequivocally proven and is
also getting social recognition now. One can occasionally see signs displaying the all-important
message: “Your smoking is injurious to my health” in offices and homes. The children of
smoking parents are among the worst affected persons.
6. The exposure of young children to ETS leads to increased respiratory problems and hospital
admissions as compared to non-exposed children. Several studies, including those done at the
PGI, have shown an increased risk of lung cancer among women exposed to passive smoking.
ETS also worsens the existing lung diseases like asthma and bronchitis.
It may be responsible for the development of asthma in children.
7. The next most important source of indoor air pollution is the allergens. House dust mites (HDM)
are very small insects not visible to the naked eye and are the commonest source of allergy in
the house. They are ubiquitous and thrive in a warm and moist atmosphere. They breed very
fast and are very difficult to eradicate. Modem houses present ample breeding spaces for them
in the form of carpets, curtains, mattresses, pillows, etc.
8. Exposure to HDM can be prevented by the frequent washing of linen and by encasing the
mattresses and pillows in a non-permeable cover. Pets form an important part of life for some
of us. But they can add plenty of allergens to our indoor atmosphere. Cats are notorious for
 doing this. Fine particles from feline fur can remain stuck to the upholstery and carpets for a
long time* even after the removal of the animal and lead to the worsening of asthma and skin
allergies. Fortunately, owing to religious and social customs cats are not very popular pets in
India. Dogs, however, are quite popular and can be as troublesome. Pets should be kept out
of the bedrooms and washed frequently. To remove the fur particles, one has to use vacuum
cleaners as the ordinary broom and mop are not effective.
9. Moulds, fungi and several other microorganisms thrive in damp conditions and can lead to
allergies as well as infections. Humidifiers in the air-conditioning plants provide an ideal
environment for certain types of bacteria and have led to major outbreaks of pneumonia. It is
important to clean regularly the coolers, air-conditioners and damp areas of the house such as
cupboards, lofts, etc to minimise this risk.
10. Toxic gases can also pollute the indoor environment. Biomass fuels (wood, cowdung, dried
plants) and coal, if burned inside, can lead to severe contamination by carbon monoxide (CO):
The poor quality of stoves and other cooking or heating appliances that cause incomplete
combustion of LPG can also lead to the emission of CO or nitrogen dioxide.
Formaldehyde (a gas) can be released from adhesives that are used for fixing carpets,
upholstery and also in making plywood and particleboard.
11. The gases are very toxic in high concentrations as may be encountered during industrial
accidents, but even in very minimal amounts, as may be prevalent in homes and offices, they
can cause irritation to the skin or the eyes, rashes, headache, dizziness and nausea. Improving
the ventilation is an important preventive measure, besides trying to eliminate the source that
may not be always feasible.
12. Other indoor pollutants are toxic chemicals like cleansing agents, pesticides, paints, solvents
and inferior-quality personal-care products, especially aerosols. Very old crumbling pipes,
boilers, insulation or false roofing can also be important sources. Asbestos is a hazardous
product that can cause cancer in humans.
13. It is important to realise that the air we breathe at home may not be clean always andwe
must try to eliminate the source of pollution. We should give due consideration to ventilation.

(a) make impure (Para 2)
(b) clearly and unmistakably (Para 5)

2. Read the passage carefully:

1. The National Disaster Management Authority has recently released guidelines on the
management of urban flooding. It clearly states that urban flooding should be treated as a
separate disaster as the causes of urban flooding and the strategies to deal with them are
different.
2. Even though urban flooding has been experienced for decades in India sufficient attention was
not given to plan specific efforts to deal with it holistically. In the past, any strategy on Flood
Disaster Management largely focused on riverine floods affecting large tracts of rural areas.
3. Urban Flooding is significantly different from rural flooding as urbanisation leads to developed
catchments which increases the flood peaks by up to 8 times and flood volumes up to 6 times.
Consequently, flooding occurs very quickly due to faster flow times, sometimes in matter of
minutes.
4. Urban areas are centres of economic activities with vital infrastructure which needs to be protected
24 x 7. In most of the cities, damage to vital infrastructure has a bearing not only locally but could
even have global implications.
5. Urban areas are also densely populated and people living in vulnerable areas, both rich and poor,
suffer due to flooding. It has sometimes resulted in loss of life, damage to property and disruptions
in transport and power bringing life to a grinding halt causing untold misery and hardships. Even
the secondary effects of subsequent epidemics and exposure to infection often takes further toll
in terms of loss of livelihood, human suffering, and, in extreme cases, loss of life. Therefore,
management of urban flooding has to be accorded top priority.
6. There has been an increasing trend of urban flood disasters in India over the past several years.
Almost every major city in India has been severely affected. Mumbai floods of July 2005 turned
out to be an eye opener. The deluge of rains in the catchment areas of the Yamuna during August
and September in 2010 has inundated many villages and towns of Haryana, besides threatening
the low-lying areas of the Delhi, the national capital. The fury of floods did not spare many areas
of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
7. Storm Water Drainage systems in the past were designed for a rainfall intensity of 12-20 mm/h.
However, we have been experiencing rainfall of higher intensities in most of our cities every year,
which overwhelm the SWD system. Moreover, the systems very often do not work to the designed
capacities because of encroachments, dumping of solid waste and poor operations and
maintenance.
8. Improper disposal of solid waste, including domestic, commercial and industrial waste and
dumping of construction debris into the drains also contributes significantly to reducing their
capacities. Everybody is responsible for this.
9. Encroachments are a major problem in many cities and towns all over the country. With large
scale encroachments on the natural drains and in the floodplains, the capacity of the natural drain
has decreased, resulting in flooding even with lower intensities of rainfall.

C. Since its invention a little over 130 years ago, the interview has become a commonplace
of journalism. Today, almost everybody who is literate will have read an interview at some
point in their lives, while from the other point of view, several thousand celebrities have
been interviewed over the years, some of them repeatedly. So, it is hardly surprising that
opinions of the interview - of its functions, methods and merits - vary considerably. Some
might make quite extravagant claims for it as being, in its highest form, a source of truth,
and, in its practice, an art. Others, usually celebrities who see themselves as its victims,
might despise the interview as an unwarranted intrusion into their lives, or feel that it
somehow diminishes them, just as in some primitive cultures it is believed that if one takes
a photographic portrait of somebody then one is stealing that person’s soul. V. S. Naipaul
1 ‘feels that some people are wounded by interviews and lose a part of themselves,’ Lewis
Carroll, the creator of Alice in Wonderland, was said to have had ‘a just horror of the
interviewer’ and he never consented to be interviewed.

SECTION B
This section consists of 10 multiple choice case study based questions of 1 mark each.

Read the following paragraph and answers the questions:

An arrangement of two conductors separated by an insulating medium can be used to store electric charge and
electric energy. Such a system is called a capacitor. The more charge a capacitor can store, the greater is its
capacitance. Usually, a capacitor consists of two capacitors having equal and opposite charge + Q and –Q.
Hence, there is a potential difference V between them. By the capacitance of a capacitor, we mean the ratio of
the charge Q to the potential difference V. By the charge on a capacitor we mean only the charge Q on the
positive plate. Total charge of the capacitor is Zero. The capacitance of a capacitor is a constant and depends on
geometric factors, such as the shapes, sizes and relative positions of the two conductors, and the nature of the
medium between them. The unit of capacitance is Farad (F). But μF and pF are the more convenient units
commonly used. Capacitor consists of two long strips or metal foils, separated by two long strips of dielectrics,
rolled up into a small cylinder. Common dielectric materials are plastics (such as polyestor and polycarbonates)
and aluminium oxide. Capacitors are widely used in television, computer, and other electric circuits.

designed by the scientist Darsonval.

Moving coil galvanometers are of two types

(i) Suspended coil
(ii) Pivoted coil type or tangent galvanometer,
