Simranjit studies in tenth class in a school. There are fifty students in his class. Most of the students come to the school by separate cars driven by their parents and also go back by separate cars. One day their science teacher was teaching the chapter on sources of energy.

Answer» Solution :(a) The idea mooted by Simranjit was that since four of them come to school from the same AREA, they should form a 'car pool' in which four of them come and go by ONE car, turn by turn. (B) The idea of 'car pool' was mooted to conserve (or save) petrol fuel (which comes from a fossil fuel petroleum) because it is non-renewable and present in limited quantity in earth. (c) The idea of 'car pool' helped the environment by decreasing air pollution because less fuel (like petrol) is burned in one car daily (than four cars). (d) The idea of 'car pool' helped the individual parents by providing them more spare time for doing other work (because only one of the parents had to do the duty of taking all the four students to school and bring them back. The other three parents are free on this day). (e) The values displayed by Simranjit in mooting the idea of 'car pool' are (i) To conserve (or save) the non-renewable and fast depleting fossil fuel petroleum (so that it could last for as long as POSSIBLE) (ii) To reduce air pollution CAUSED by the excessive burning of petroleum fuels, and (iii) Strengthening the bonds of friendship among classmates (by travelling together in one car daily). |
