In some countries, tea pots are fitted with little dangling baskets under the spout to catch the stray leaves which are supposed to be harmful. The author asserts that one can swallow tea- leaves in considerable quantities without illeffect. He claims that if the tea is not loose in the pot it never infuses properly with the hot beverage (i.e.) tea.

The teapot should be made of China or earthen ware. Silver or Britannia ware teapot produce inferior quality tea. Enamel pots are worse. Though curiously enough a pewter teapot, a rarity nowadays, is not so bad.

Two – green and blue.

Correct option is (a) 2

Correct option is (a) Blue

Those seeds which are produced according to the standards set by Punjab State Seed Certification Agency and also under their supervision are called certified seeds.

There are four types of seeds – Nuclear seeds, Breeder seeds, Foundation seeds, Certified seeds.

In the year 1966.

We get breeder seed from the nuclear seed, foundation seed from breeder seed then certified seed from the foundation seed.

Not less than 85%.

The objective of seed act was to provide right pedigree seeds at lower cost to the farmers. This act was enacted in year 1966.

Number of cotton bolls, average weight of cotton bolls.

Correct answer is 98%.

Correct option is (d) All 

A distant voice which was lost in the dis¬tant years was the voice of Maqbool’s father who was the winner of P. V.C. in 1971.

Punjab State Seed Certification Authority has the authority to certify seeds.

The agency which has researched and discovered the variety, produces nuclear seeds and then produces breeder seed from nuclear seed.

W.H. 1105, PBW 621.

Correct answer is White tag.

Correct answer is Seed grader.

Correct option is (a) Golden

Correct answer is white

Correct option is (a) White

Correct option is (d) All

• Isolation of seed crop from other crops.
• Number of off-plants in the seed crop.
• Number of diseased plants in the seed crop.

Following points should followed for starting seed production enterprise:

• Choose a crop that will give good returns and is easy to produce the seeds of this crop or not.
• Choose the crop suited to the area and which can be cultivated by you.
• Choose the crop whose seed is consumed in large quantity, e.g. wheat.
• Become registered farmer with PUNSEED.
• Whichever seeds you want to produce, gain sound knowledge and expertise to produce such seeds.
• One can earn good profit by producing hybrid seeds, but it needs hardwork, proper training and patience.
• Basic infrastructure is required which is a costly affair. Basic infrastructure consists of store, threshing floor, seed grader and other machines.

Major and commanding officer tend the boy by telling that the boy is a soldier already and they have hope that some day the boy will lead indian army with the same daring and courage.

When the boy, Maqbool said seriously that he had to carry the orders given by pilot and he also said that he knew the enemy lines, he knew the place where the pilot fell and also he can guide them to go by short cut and also informed that the enemies came on foot, so that jeeps will be able to surround them and catch them. The instructions given by the boy like a well trained soldier made the commander humorous and commanding officer said smilingly, “Instructions noted, Sir, action will be taken”.

There was a grand finale of scattered plates and silverware before the nurse and ward sister caught up with them.

In silent rooms, final decisions are taken.

One’s desire or love for money should be limited to meeting one’s basic needs like food, clothing and shelter. Beyond that, in ordinate desire to possess a lot of money in a dishonourable way reduces even good men to “thwarted worms”.

The sentry had seen the plane crash Not True.

“They can’t do a thing if our number is not written on the bullet”. This sentence means a soldier has to fight till his last minute of death. A soldier should not run away from the enemy, if he does so the soldier is not a real soldier.

Solitude would help the boy to be creative.

People who wanted too much money fell a prey to greed. They lost their reputation also.

Correct Answer is: a) Maqbool

One’s physical strength doesn’t matter. Any person with a strong will can achieve great feats. A frail flowering plant succeeds in splitting a rock due to its hard will. Thus a tough will (i.e.) “rich soft wanting” determines one’s success.

Maqbool Butt was a patriot’s son True.

The enemy shot the boy because they came to know that the boy had helped to rescue the pilot and enemies were arrested by police.

Instead of being one among many, one can be different if it is one’s nature to be so. One need not take conscious efforts to be different.

The poet’s advice would help the son at the threshold of manhood, to grow as a positive individual and succeed in life like great scientists and dramatists.

Maqbool said, his father had told him never to be afraid of enemy because they can’t do anything if our number is not written on the bullet.

(a) 1 N; vertically downward
Mass of the stone, m = 0.1 kg
Acceleration of the stone, a = g = 10 m/s²
As per Newton’s second law of motion, the net force acting on the stone,
F = ma = mg
= 0.1 × 10 = 1 N
Acceleration due to gravity always acts in the downward direction.

(b) 1 N; vertically downward
The train is movingwith a constant velocity. Hence, its acceleration is zero in the direction of its motion, i.e., in the horizontal direction. Hence, no force is acting on the stone in the horizontal direction. The net force acting on the stone is because of acceleration due to gravity and it always acts vertically downward. The magnitude of this force is 1 N.

(c) 1 N; vertically downward
It is given that the train is accelerating at the rate of 1 m/s².
Therefore, the net force acting on the stone, F' = ma = 0.1 x 1 = 0.1 N
This force is acting in the horizontal direction. Now, when the stone is dropped, the horizontal force F,' stops acting on the stone. This is because of the fact that the force acting on a body at an instant depends on the situation at that instant and not on earlier situations.

Therefore, the net force acting on the stone is given only by acceleration due to gravity.
F = mg = 1 N
This force acts vertically downward.

(d) 0.1 N; in the direction of motion of the train
The weight of the stone is balanced by the normal reaction of the floor. The only acceleration is provided by the horizontal motion of the train.
Acceleration of the train, a = 0.1 m/s²
The net force acting on the stone will be in the direction of motion of the train. Its magnitude is given by:

F = ma
= 0.1x1 = 0.1 N
