Give an account of the medical problems for which the two boys were hospitalized. The seven years old mechanic suffered third degree burns on the upper part of his body. He had lost both his eyes. He was literally a walking horror. He was disfigured. A long flap of skin was hanging from the side of his neck to his body. As the wound healed around his neck, his lower jaw became gripped in a mass of fibrous tissue. The trolley driver had a malignant tumour of the bone. A few days before the race, his shoulder and arm were amputated. There was little hope of his recovery. If two adults had similar ailments, they would have got dejected with life. But the boys were just happy celebrating the joy of being alive. [OR] “My right to swing my fist ends, where your nose begins.” Elucidate with reference to, ‘On the Rule of the Road’. Rights are not completely individual affairs. In order to enjoy one’s rights one has to respect the rights of others too. The lady in Petrograd had the right to walk on the pavement. The right to move stops when the other person’s right to drive starts. A person may have a walking stick and roll it too. But his right just stops where the other person’s nose begins. No one has the right to violate the rights of others. The right, one exercises, must not affect or erode the rights of others. One should not think of one’s own rights but also the rights of others. A.G.Gardiner beautifully illustrates this idea by emphasising the metaphor of traffic rules. Rules of road are in fact rules of politeness and unselfishness. One may have absolute freedom in the choice of food, religion, fashionable dress, up keep of hair, funny hairstyle, etc. But one must be conscious of the rights of others. So, the statement “my right to swing my fist ends, where your nose begins” fits well with the central theme of the essay ‘ On the Rule of the Road’. 42. The poet immortalizes the Casuarina tree. Elucidate. The poet, Toru Dutt was conscious of the fact that her most endeared Casuarina tree was growing old. The fate that befalls aged humans and trees would ultimately grab the Casuarina tree too. Time, though slow, is ready with its sickle to harvest the lives of all living things. Being a well-read poet, she recalls how William Wordsworth had immortalised his favourite lonely tall yew tree in his poem, “Yew-trees”. Taking inspiration from him, she decides to prevent her favourite tree from dying and passing into the irreversible world of oblivion by writing a poem about the tree. True to her faith the tree lives on in our memories. As long as tongues can speak and eyes can see, the Casuarina tree will live in the hearts of millions of people till the end of the world. B-8 English – XII

[OR] How according to the poet is it possible for his son to bring changes into a world that resents change? The poet advises his son to introspect often and not feel ashamed of being called a fool especially when he pursues knowledge. He can examine himself and remove his follies. He must enjoy the advantages of solitude. Solitude would help him to be creative. He would invariably learn that final decisions are always taken in silent rooms. Being alone, he can identify his innate potential and talents. His free imagination will bring about changes even if the world resents them. The zest to bring about changes will elevate him to the level of Shakespeare, Pasteur, Wright Brothers, Pavlov and Michael Faraday. Thus he will be remembered as one of the greatest men who changed the world. 43. Write a paragraph of about 150 words by developing the following hints into a paragraph: Aksionov – blood-stained knife – wife’s suspicion-Tsar – Makar Semyonich – murder charges – twenty six long years – belated freedom – restoration of justice – cold-blooded murderer – blood-stained knife – changes his attitude – pardon arrives – before release. Aksionov, a handsome man, full of life, enjoyed music. He loved his family and did honest business. He is innocent to the core. The very sight of blood-stained knife found in his bag sends chill down his spine. He is deeply sensitive. When he realizes that his wife too suspected him, he gives up petitioning to the Tsar for mercy. He recognized Makar Semyonich the person who had murdered the merchant and had him framed in murder charges and unjustly punished for twenty six long years.When an opportunity presents to wreak vengeance on him, he keeps quiet. He does not show any interest in his belated freedom and restoration of justice. He seeks refuge in God. Makar Semyonich is a cold-blooded murderer and scoundrel. Knowingly, he hides the blood-stained knife in Aksionov’s bag and tips off the police. He doesn’t confess his guilt on the day he meets Aksionov. It is only when he realizes that Aksionov is a noble soul and does not want to expose his plan to escape from the prison that he changes his attitude to Aksionov. He is haunted by guilt that he had wronged a noble soul. He confesses but it is in vain. The pardon arrives but Aksionov passes away in prison before release. [OR] Ausable, private detective – automatic gun – Berlin – nice story – balcony – displeasure – hotel management – Ausable’s room – times of danger – pre-ordered drinks – blatant lie – Max jumped – suicidal jump – outwitted the spy. Ausable was a shrewd private detective. He did not become panicky on seeing Max with an automatic gun in his room. Even if he were, he did not show it off. Instead, he expressed surprise that he expected him to be in Berlin. He cooked up a nice story that it was the second time someone had broken into his room through the balcony of the neighbouring apartment which reaches down under his window. He expressed his displeasure that he would raise hell with the hotel management for not blocking that balcony. This gave a strong suggestion to Max, that he could have used the balcony instead of the pass key to enter Ausable’s room. Being a criminal or spy, a person always looks for various routes of escape in times of danger. Very rarely he starts direct encounter risking his life. When Henry, the waiter who arrived with the pre-ordered drinks, knocked, Mr. Ausable simply smiled. When Max asked who it was, he told a blatant lie that it was the police who had come for Sample Paper - 1 B-9

He never knew that it was a suicidal jump from the 6th floor. Thus, Ausable outwitted the spy, Max. 44. Write a summary or make notes of the following passage. The Cacti, a native in American deserts, adapts to the dry surroundings by having unique body structures. The plant has swollen stems to help store water that carries it through months. By having sharp pines instead of leaves, water loss through respiration is minimized. Besides, these pointed pines also help the plant ward off grazing animals, thus enhancing its survival period. Besides plants, there are also animals with distinct surviving tactics in deserts too. For instance, Skinks (desert lizards ) metabolize stored fats in their bulbous tails, producing water to supplement their needs, just like what camels do with the stored food in their humps during long journeys through deserts. Antelopes like the addax, have very low water needs and hence are able to tolerate the conditions in deserts, extracting moisture from the food they eat. Finally, there are the sandgrouses (desert birds) which do not have special features to overcome the drought-like nature in deserts. Hence, to survive in these hot, dry deserts, they need to spend a large part of their time flying in search of waterholes.

Decision making is a challenge Decision making is a process that plays a vital role in our daily lives. Some decisions are not very important whereas other imperative decisions, when cautiously carried out, can change the path of our lives. When faced with a crisis, one of the major issues is deciding the right thing. Decision making can be quite complicated and challenging in some cases. Sample Paper - 1 B-11

It is hence essential to gather as much information from different sources and assess all possible alternatives to the problem or situation at hand before making a decision. Doing so will permit us to land at the best possible result for the problem. Such decisions can’t be an overnight one. It takes a couple of months to investigate and consult with friends, family and university professors to make a decision. Low cost tuition fee and the course time are also a big influence in taking decisions. An advantage of such decisions can only be an outcome of research and discussion and there is no conflict in that. This significantly decreases the probability of risk in any decision making. If a decision is made correct and one is quite pleased with the way it is turning out to be then one has crossed all barriers. It is imperative that one makes decisions in consultation with parents opinions and check on other surveys and researches to avoid challenges. 46.

[OR] Read the following passage and answer the questions in your own words. This sequel to Anne of Green Gables follows Anne Shirley, a young Canadian orphan. Anne was sent to live with the Cuthberts, a brother and sister who have a farm on Prince Edward Island, Canada. In Anne of Avonlea, written in 1909, Anne is 16 years old and is going to teach school for the first time in the town of Avonlea. When Anne reached the school that morning . . . for the first time in her life she had traversed the Birch Path deaf and blind to its beauties . . . all was quiet and still. The preceding teacher had trained the children to be in their places at her arrival, and when Anne entered the schoolroom she was confronted by prim rows of “shining morning faces” and bright, inquisitive eyes. She hung up her hat and faced her pupils, hoping that she did not look as frightened and foolish as she felt and that they would not perceive how she was trembling. She had sat up until nearly twelve the preceding night composing a speech she meant to make to her pupils upon opening the school. She had revised and improved it painstakingly, and then she had learned it off by heart. It was a very good speech and had some very fine ideas in it, especially about mutual help and earnest striving after knowledge. The only trouble was that she could not now remember a word of it. After what seemed to her a year . . . about ten seconds in reality . . . she said faintly, “Take your Testaments, please,” and sank breathlessly into her chair under cover of the rustle and clatter of desk lids that followed. While the children read their verses Anne marshalled her shaky wits into order and looked over the array of little pilgrims to the Grownup Land. Questions: a. List any one example from the passage that shows Anne nervous on her first day of teaching school. b. Where and with whom did Anne Shirley live with? c. How old was Anne when she started to teach in the town of Avonlea? d. How was Anne treated when she entered her schoolroom? e. What did Anne do the previous night to starting school teaching? Ans:( a) “The only trouble was that she could not now remember a word” of her speech. (b) Anne Shirley lived with the Cuthberts, a brother and sister who have a farm on Prince Edward Island, Canada. (c) Anne was 16 years old, when she was going to teach school for the first time in the town of Avonlea. (d) When Anne entered the schoolroom she was confronted by prim rows of “shining morning faces” and bright, inquisitive eyes.

Galileo Galilei was born in the year 1564 in the town of Pisa, Italy. When he was 20 years old, he was studying in Pisa. His father wanted him to be a doctor, but Galileo was bored with school except for math. Because math was the one subject where he was doing well, the court mathematician offered to tutor him privately so he could become a qualified mathematician. Galileo’s father was disappointed, but he agreed. Because he needed to earn money, Galileo began experimenting with different things, trying to come up with some sort of invention that he could sell for money. He had a little bit of success with his invention that was like a compass that could be used to measure plots of land. He had already experimented with pendulums, thermometers, and magnets. When he heard that a Dutch inventor had invented something called a spyglass, but was keeping it a secret, Galileo decided to work on one of his own. Within 24 hours, he had invented a telescope that could magnify things to make them appear ten times larger than real life. One night, he pointed his telescope toward the sky, and made his first of many space observations: the moon was not smooth, like everyone thought. The moon was covered in bumps and craters. As technology has improved, first Galileo, and then many others, have made improvements on the telescope, the wonderful device that allows us to see from a distance. Questions: a. When and where was Galileo Galilei born? b. What was Galileo’s father’s desire? c. What was the observation about the moon? d. What prompted him to invent the telescope? e. What made the court mathematician offer help? B-40 English – XII

22. What are the properties of neutrino? The neutrino has the following properties • It has zero charge • It has an antiparticle called anti-neutrino. • Recent experiments showed that the neutrino has very tiny mass. • It interacts very weakly with the matter. Therefore, it is very difficult to detect. In fact, in every second, trillions of neutrinos coming from the sun are passing through our body without any interaction. 23. The repulsive force between two magnetic poles in air is 9 × 10–3 N. If the two poles are equal in strength and are separated by a distance of 10 cm, calculate the pole strength of each pole. The magnitude of the force between two poles is given by F = k q qmA mB r2 Given : F = 9 × 10–3 N, r = 10 cm = 10 × 10–2 m Since qmA = qmB = qm, we have 9 ×10−3 = 10−7 × qm2 ⇒ qm = 30NT−1 (10 ×10−2 )2 24. Why electron is preferred over X-ray in microscope? Electrons interact much more strongly than x-rays. Electron beam can be deflected by electric and magnetic field and can be focused by electrostatic and magnetic lenses. PART - III Answer any six questions in which Q.No. 33 is compulsory. [6 × 3 = 18] 25. Explain the conversion of galvanometer into voltmeter. A galvanometer is converted into a voltmeter by connecting high resistance Rh in series with galvanometer. The scale is now calibrated in volt and the range of voltmeter depends on the values of the resistance Rh connected in series i.e. the value of resistance is so adjusted so that current Ig produces full scale deflection in the galvanometer. 26.

(i) The value of BE rises as the mass avg. binding energy per nucleon (MeV)10 2566Fe 15200Sn number increases until it reaches 186O a maximum value of 8.8 MeV for 29328U A = 56 (iron) and then it slowly 8 24He decreases. 6 (ii) The average binding energy per nucleon is about 8.5 MeV 4 for nuclei having mass number between A = 40 and 120. These 2 23He elements are comparatively more 12 H stable and not radioactive. 00 50 100 150 200 250 (iii) For higher mass numbers, the Number of nucleons, A (mass number) curve reduces slowly and BE for uranium is about 7.6 MeV. They average binding energy of the nucleons are unstable and radioactive. if two light nuclei with A < 28 combine with a nucleus with A < 56, the binding energy per nucleon is more for final nucleus than initial nuclei. Thus, if the lighter elements combine to produce a nucleus of medium value A, a large amount of energy will be released. This is the basis of nuclear fusion and is the principle of the hydrogen bomb. 28. In the circuit shown in the figure, the input voltage Vi is 20 V, VBE = 0 V and VCE = 0 V.

Derive the expression for equivalent capacitance, when capacitors are connected in parallel. Capacitance in parallel: Consider three capacitors of capacitance C1, C2 and C3 connected in parallel with a battery of voltage V as shown in figure (a). Sample Paper - 1 C-7

Since corresponding sides of the capacitors are connected to the same positive and negative terminals of the battery, the voltage across each capacitor is equal to the battery’s voltage. Since capacitance of the capacitors is different, the charge stored in each capacitor is not the same. Let the charge stored in the three capacitors be Q1, Q2, and Q3 respectively. According to the law of conservation of total charge, the sum of these three charges is equal to the charge Q transferred by the battery, Q = Q1 + Q2 + Q3...(1) Since Q = CV, we have Q = C1V + C2V + C3V...(2) If these three capacitors are considered to form a single capacitance CP which stores the total charge Q as shown in the figure (b), then we can write Q = CPV. Substituting this in equation (2), we get CpV = C1V + C2V + C3V Cp = C1 + C2 + C3...(3) Thus, the equivalent capacitance of capacitors connected in parallel is equal to the sum of the individual capacitances. The equivalent capacitance Cp in a parallel connection is always greater than the largest individual capacitance. In a parallel connection, it is equivalent as area of each capacitance adds to give more effective area such that total capacitance increases. 30. What are the advantages and disadvantages of AC over DC? There are many advantages and disadvantages of AC system over DC system. Advantages: (i) The generation of AC is cheaper than that of DC. (ii) When AC is supplied at higher voltages, the transmission losses are small compared to DC transmission. (iii) AC can easily be converted into DC with the help of rectifiers. Disadvantages: (i) Alternating voltages cannot be used for certain applications e.g. charging of batteries, electroplating, electric traction etc. (ii) At high voltages, it is more dangerous to work with AC than DC.

Derive an expression for de-Broglie wavelength of electrons. An electron of mass m is accelerated through a potential difference of V volt. The kinetic energy acquired by the electron is given by 1 mv2 = eV 2eV 2 m Therefore, the speed v of the electron is v = Hence, the de Broglie wavelength of the electron is =λ h= h mv 2emV Substituting the known values in the above equation, we get λ = 6.626 ×10−34 2V ×1.6 ×10−19 × 9.11×10−31 = λ 12.2=7 ×10−10 meter (or) λ 12.27 Å VV For example, if an electron is accelerated through a potential difference of 100V, then its de Broglie wavelength is 1.227 Å. Since the kinetic energy of the electron, K = eV, then the de Broglie wavelength associated with electron can be also written as λ= h 2mK 33. Transistor functions as a switch. Explain.
