1. Demand for domestic goods and domestic demand for goods are two different concepts. 

2. Demand for domestic goods is a demand for goods made by both domestic and foreign countries. 

3. Domestic demand for goods is a demand for goods by our own country for goods which may be produced in foreign countries.

1. Indirect taxes such as sales tax and excise duty fall heavily on the shoulders of a common man. 

2. This means they are inequitable. 

3. Therefore, in such a situation, tax basket should be a mixture of direct and indirect taxes both.

The Maharaja’s minions could not give the right advice to the king because the despotic and foolish king was driven by fear of death. The minions either flattered him or remained mute. They were afraid lest they should lose their own life at the king’s behest. Only the dewan was conscious of the resentment that was brewing in the kingdom because of the king’s arbitrary decisions. He showed some sense in arranging the hundredth tiger that the king could kill. He had hoped that this way the king would get rid of his fear and his atrocities would cease. Unfortunately, the tiger did not die at the hands of the king. It was impossible for the minions to make the superstitious king see reason. They feared that any attempt to do so would invite punishment, even death.

Due to lack of necessary information and disclosures required, tendency of the people to avoid taxes and lack of efficient implementation machinery, it is not possible to tax all those who should be taxed.

1. A government and monetary authorities fix the rate of interest which is based on bank rate fixed by the RBI and consequent interest rates are charged by the commercial banks. 

2. In this regard we have regional rural banks being set up in rural areas to benefit the rural artisans, small and marginal labourers and weaker sections of the society. 

3. They provide credit assistance at concessional lending rates. 

4. However, weaker sections of society including poor farmers and villagers pay very high rate of interest which they pay to the moneylenders or zamindars. 

5. Therefore, for reducing rate of interest for such people, some necessary steps should be taken such as promoting cooperative societies etc.

Many instances of negligence on the part of the prison officers contributed to Evans escape. First lapse on the part of the police and prison authorities was regarding Mr McLeery. He was to invigilate. They didn’t verify his identity. A fake McLeery impersonated the real McLeery. Secondly, Jackson’s compassion allowed Evans to wear his hat. It was a big lapse on his part. Then again Stephens didn’t report another significant irregularity to the authorities. Evans was allowed to wrap a grey blanket around him. Similarly, the authorities never knew that the German teacher was none other than a close friend of Evans. The last but the most glaring lapse was on the part of the governor himself. The silent prison officer who handcuffed the recaptured was actually Evans’s accomplice. So were the two men who accompanied them. The governor was outwitted again.

The interview was not intended fairly by Cuss, the general practitioner. He had a keen desire to know about the stranger. He approached the stranger on the pretext of collecting subscription for the nurse fund. This way he hoped to interact with the stranger and know the secret of his bandaged face. The stranger sensed his motive and with an apparently armless sleeve pinched Cuss’ nose, thus scaring him to death. It turned out to be an extraordinary, an unusual and a nightmarish kind of experience for Cuss as the things he noticed and felt could hardly be rationalized. Cuss fled straight to punting and related his incredible experience to him. Thus out of professional envy he managed to only infuriate the stranger rather than knowing something valuable about him. It was an insincere of interview on the part of Cuss and proved fruitless in the end.

Due to lack of necessary information and disclosures required, tendency of the people to avoid taxes and lack of efficient implementation machinery, it is not possible to tax all those who should be taxed.

1. As we know that agricultural production depends upon natural factors like rainfall, climate etc. these natural factors creates a situation of drought or surplus production. 

2. Therefore, in such a situation for helping farmers in case of drought the government should fix a price lower than the market price (which is also known as price ceiling) and in case of the surplus production the government should fix a price higher than the market price (which is also known as price floor). 

3. Surplus or shortages should be met by the government from its buffer stock operations through Public Distribution System (PDS) such as ration shops or fair price shops.

Evans was handcuffed and made to sit in the van. The van drove towards New bury. There, the hitherto silent prison officer unlocked Evans’s handcuffs. It was the last act of foolishness of the Governor. He didn’t identify the van and the driver. If he had verified their identities, he could have avoided Evans’s escape.

(a) Birth rate = No of individuals born Total no of individuals = 40 /200 = 0.5 frogs per year. 

(b) Number is not always a necessary parameter to measure population density. 

Example: 

1. If there are 200 Parthenium plants but only a single huge banyan tree with a large canopy, the population density of banyan is low relative to that of Parthenium which amounts to underestimating the enormous role of the Banyan in that community. In such cases, the per cent cover or biomass is a more meaningful measure of the population size.

2. In a dense laboratory culture of a microbial population in a petri dish, the total number of microbes is again not an easily adoptable measure because population is huge, counting is impossible and time-consuming.

Ratio of H, P and S is 4 : 3 : 3

H’s Gain = 3/10 X 20 /100 = 3 /50 

H’s new share = H’s old share + H’s Gain

= 4/10 + 3/50 = 23/50

S’s Gain = 3/10 X 80 /100 = 12 /50

S’s new share = S’s old share + S’s Gain

= 3/10 + 12/50 = 27/50

New Profit sharing Ratio of H and S is 23 : 27

SQL stands for Structured Query Language.

To remove data from a spreadsheet, any one method can be followed: 

(i) Double click on the cell and use backspace or delete key

(ii) Right click on the cell and select clear contents option from the drop down menu.

The column letter and the row number with which a cell is identified is know as its cell address.

Modern history conventionally includes the period from the French Revolution to the most recent decades. The growth of disciplinary power thus coincided with new individual and collective freedoms; a widespread belief in progress was accompanied by an equally prominent obsession with the past; European predominance soon led to anti-colonial nationalism. Such tensions and paradoxes make studying modern history fascinating in its own right as well as invaluable for understanding present-day culture, society and politics.

Resistance, R₁ = 2Ω, R₂ = 6Ω and R₃ = 3Ω
 = R₂ and R₃ are in parallel combination

1/R₄=1/R₂ +1/R₃=1/6+1/3=1+2/6=3/6=1/2Ω

R₄ = 2Ω

Resistance R₁ and R₄ are in series combination.

Rq = R₁ + R₄
= 2 + 2 = 4Ω

(i) Large areas of agriculture and human habitation are to be sacrificed as they get submerged.
(ii) Large ecosystems are destroyed when submerged under the water in dams.
(iii) The vegetation which is submerged rots under anaerobic conditions and give rise to large amount of methane which is also a green house gas.

The red light has a wavelength about 1.8 times greater than blue light. Thus, when sunlight passes through the atmosphere, the fine particles in air scatter the blue color (shorter wavelengths) more strongly than red. The scattered blue light enters our eyes.

White tooth enamel is calcium phosphate which is very hard. It gets affected when the pH of our mouth falls below 5.5. The bacteria present in our mouth breaks down the food particles into acids which damage our teeth by corroding them.

To prevent the tooth decay, cleaning of the mouth thoroughly after eating with tooth powder/paste, which is basic in nature and neutralizes the excess of acid, is a must.

Spherical mirrors have wide applications. So, if spherical mirrors were not known to human beings, 

(1) Their important role in hospitals, rear-view mirrors, would have been incomplete.

(2) Use of concave mirrors in observing inner parts of mouth by dentists would not have been possible.

(3) Use of convex mirrors in ATMs, computer monitors, sun glasses would not have been possible.

(4) It would not have been possible to observe small objects as big if concave mirrors were not known.

Egg cells are one of the largest cells in the female body. They are visible to the naked eye. It is round in shape and has a large amount of cytoplasm.
On the other hand, sperm cells are the complete opposite of egg cells. The sperm is one of the smallest cells in the male body. They are made up of a small nucleus with a small amount of cytoplasm, some mitochondria and a long tail. They have a straight shape, compared to the round one of the egg cell.
Importance of the difference:  The difference in the sperm and egg cells maintains the continuity of the species generation after generation by the process of reproduction.

Differences between parthenogenesis and parthenocrapy :

(a) Water is treated by conventional method // sedimentation / filtration / chlorination.

(b) Water flows to six connected marshes.

(c) The water in marshes is seeded with appropriate plants / algae / fungi / bacteria.

(d) Which helps to neutralise the pollutants / assimilate the pollutants / absorb pollutants / Remove heavy metals.

Forensic science / criminal investigation (any point related to forensic science) / determine population and genetic diversities / paternity testing / maternity testing / study of evolutionary biology  

Micro propagation is the technique that can ensure retention of the desired characteristics of the tomato plant in large population of future generations. Micro propagation is a method of producing new plants in a short duration through tissue culture. In this technique, the individual cells of the plants can be separated, multiplied in vitro and regenerated to whole plant. Each of the plants grown by micro propagation are genetically identical and are called somaclones. Tomato, banana, apple etc. are produced using this method

Papaver somniferum / Poppy plant.

Extracted from latex of the plant / acetylation of morphine (obtained from the latex of plant)

(a) VNTR stands for Variable Number of Tandem Repeats. DNA fingerprinting involves identifying differences in some specific short nucleotide repeats called variable number tandem repeats (VNTR). This number of repeats is specific from person to person and are inherited.

(b) Application of DNA fingerprinting :

1.  It is used in forensic science to identify potential crime suspects.

2.  It is used to establish paternity and family relationships.

3.  It is used to identify and protect the commercial varieties of crops and live stocks.

4. It is used to find out evolutionary history of an organism and trace out the linkages between various groups of organisms

(a) Heroin is obtained from Papaver somniferum, commonly known as poppy plant. Chemically, it is diacetylmorphine and produced by acetylation of morphine. It is the morphine which is extracted from the latex of poppy plant, which then undergoes acetylation to form heroin.

(b) Heroin acts as a depressant and slows down body functions. It can lead to slower rates of breathing, slower heart beats, vomiting, nausea etc. It impairs the ability of brain to function and hampers the thinking process.
