I sometimes anticipate events in the future in my dreams.

This poem is depicting the overall mood on a rainy night. During the night the humid cloud full of water creates dark shadows over the star-studded sky. The poet dreams about his mother and the way she used to tuck him in bed. The poet’s dream of his mother reminds him of his childhood days.

His mother used to tell stories to lull him into a sleep full of dreams. The music being played on the rooftop is like the affectionate look by which his mother used to see him, while he was a kid. So dreams make him realize the importance of the past and the things that he now misses.

S = 2t + 2t². This is of the standard form S = ut + 1/2 at²

By comparison, 1/2

a = 2 or a = 4m/s². 

Hindi language was taught in the Pathshala.

The correct option is B) 10⁴ J.

The energy stored in the capacitor will be 10 kilo-joules.

We know that energy stored in a capacitor = cV²/2 

Given that 

Capacitance = 20 mF = 20 x 10^-3 

Voltage, V = 1000 v

Hence, energy = cV²/2 

= 20 x 10^-3 x 1000² / 2

= 10⁴ j

= 10 kj

Hence the energy stored in the capacitor will be 10 kilo-joules.

Efforts made for the education of the weaker classes: 

The southern region of Rajasthan presently Udaipur, Chittor, Dungarpur, Banswara and Pratapgarh, Sirohi, Merwara etc. are the tribals dominated regions. It was the Christian missionaries, the Arya Samaj and the national movement activists who played the major role in educating the people of these tribal areas. 

1. Education by the Missionaries – 

The first step to educate the hilly people of these regions was taken by the Christian Missionary Institution. It established The Rowers school in Toadgarh in December, 1863

2. Government and Private Educational Institutions –

By 1882, 16 government and the private educational institutions have been established in the Merwara region. The tribals of the Mewar were also benefitting from this new education system.

3. Efforts by the Rulers – 

Maharaja Sajjan Singh of Mewar opened schools in Rishdev and Jawar in 1875 and in Parana and Barapal in 1883. The process continued and by 1901, 10 schools had been opened in Banswara and Kushalgarh. Dungarpur had one school. By 1940 a school and the public library were set up in Kherwara.

The following Christian Missionary Educational Institutions were active in Rajputana in the field of education – 

1. Presbyterian 

2. Roman Catholic and Methodists 

3. The Church Missionary Society 

4. The Anglican Church 

5. Society for the propagation of the Gospel Mission.

The Missionary Institutions have established the educational institutions in Ajmer, Beaware, Nasirabad, Piplauda near Kota, Rajgarh in Alwar and Bandikui.

(d)  Pathshala

The technical education developed in Rajputana during the period of the British Supremacy in respect of – 

1. Teachers’ training. 

2. Agriculture Engineering. 

3. Ayurvedic Medicines 

4. Ayurveda Science 

5. Veterinary 

6. Law 

7. Forestry and Fishing

(b) Kolkata University

Modern Education in Rajasthan: 

It was in the centrally administered Ajmer, Merwara region that the modern education was started. On the directions of Resident Aktarloni in 1819, Jewan Kary opened the English medium schools first in Ajmer and then in Pushkar Bhinay and Kekari, but they had to be closed due to the public resistance in 1931. In 1835 the company recoginsed English as the state language.

Consequently, in 1836 the first government school was opened in Ajmer, considering the need for knowledge of English. It was upgraded to Intermediate college in 1868 and to the graduate college in 1869. So far as states were concerned, Pt. Roop Narayan was inspired by Maharaja Banne Singh to open the first school in Alwar in 1842 and after sometimes Maharaja Balwant Singh of Bharatpur opened the school. This school was the first to adopt the modern examination system. In 1847 it was upgraded to the Intermediate college, in 1888 to the graduate college and in 1900 to the post graduate college.

In 1844 in Jaipur Darbar school was opened and in 1883 the Tonk Nawab started the government school. Thus by the end of the 19th century the government Educational Institutions had been opened in all the states of Rajputana, excluding Jaisalmer.

Gradual Evolution of the Modem Education – The Primary and the Middle schools were gradually upgraded to High schools. The government school of Ajmer (1836) was the first to become the High School in 1851. Among the Indian states Jaipur started High school studies in 1844 in the Madan Mohan temple in front of Hawa Mahal. The students were from both the communities – the Hindu and the Muslims. The process of upgrading schools continued till 1947, unfolding to university level.

The University Education: 

First Stage-Intermediate college (11th and 12th classes): In 1868 the centrally administered Ajmer was the first to have intermediate college and the same year the state upgraded Jaipur Maharaja School to the intermediate college, other upgraded intermediate colleges were as: Jodhpur Intermediate college in 1853, Udaipur Intermediate college in 1922, Dungar Intermediate college of Bikaner in 1928 and Maharani Jaya college of Bharatpur in 1941.

Second Stage Le. Graduation Education: Ajmer government intermediate college was upgraded to graduate college in 1969. The states intermediate colleges were upgraded to the Degree colleges as Maharaja college of Jaipur in 1888, Jaswant college of Jodhpur in 1893, Bikaner Intermediate college in 1928 and Udaipur college in 1935. Third State i.e. Post Graduation: Its beginning was made first in 1900 in Jaipur, followed by Bikaner and Udaipur. Thus the modern education evolved in Rajputana at the two levels i.e.

1. The centrally administered region and 

2. The Indian states from the primary to the Graduation and from Graduation to the Post Graduation level.

The correct option is A) Total charge /Potential

The Charge to Potential Ratio Is Constant For an Isolated Conductor Total Charge/Potential = Isolated

(b) he called at Subbiah’s house.

(b)  Upasara

Three stages of education in the modern education system were:

1. Primary 

2. Middle and 

3. High school

It was the Gurukul System of education which prevailed in the schools set up by the Arya Samaj.

If a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time in a given direction, however small the intervals maybe then its velocity is said to be uniform.

The rate of change of position of a body in a particular direction is called velocity or Rate of displacement of a body is called velocity.

The formula for ‘g’ is

g = 4π²(I/T²)

∴ Δg/g = (ΔI/I) + (2(ΔT/T))

Error in the measurement of T will have a larger effect on the obtained value of ‘g’. To minimise this error, a large number of measurements of T is taken.

The change of position of a body in a particular direction is called displacement.

The correct option is B) Ohm.

When the alternating current goes through a pure reactance, a voltage drop is produced that is 90° out of phase with the current. Reactance is mathematically symbolized by the letter “X” and is measured in the unit of ohms (Ω).

Yes, the displacement of a moving body be zero

The rate of change of position of a body in any direction is known as speed.

The correct option is A) f₀/f_e.

The magnifying power of an astronomical telescope for normal adjustment is f₀/f_e

The correct option is (A) Decreases.

When length of microscope tube increase, magnifying power gets decreased.

The magnifying power of instrument represents the ability of the instrument to show a magnified view of the object to the eye. In case of a telescope the magnifying power is defined as the ratio of the angle subtended by the final image at the eye of the angle subtended by object in its actual position at the unaided eye.

Names of the Primary Education Centres of the Indigenous Education:

 1. Chatshala, Pathshala for the Hindus 

2. Upasara, Vanika for the Jains 

3. Maqtab for the Muslims

The religious curriculum of the Primary education, in the Indigenous Education system included –

 Stories related to gods and goddesses, festivals, life-utility things, worship, Chattels, Worship-methods, Names of fruits, Clothes, ornamentations (Shringar) etc, and Quran, Fatiha, Haqiqat (Hakikat), dates etc in Maklabas (Primary schools).

The main centre of Primary and Vocational Education under the Indigenous Education System were Families.

(d) Women from the Royal (Noble) families

Modern Education is the education system which develops logic based scientific outlook, and has defined class sequence, examination system, curriculum, qualified teachers and a set definite administrative set up.

(i) [F] = [MLT^-2].

(ii) [p] = [ML^-1T^-2].

(iii) [V] = [M⁰L³T⁰].

(iv) [V] = [M⁰LT^-1]. 

The correct option is (B)  90°

As we know that plane polarized light is defined as the an electromagnetic wave in which electric field vector and magnetic field vector oscillates perpendicular to each other. 

Also the plane of oscillation of field is perpendicular to the propagation of the light 

So here we can say that the light wave will propagate in such a way that transmission of light wave is always at 90 degree with the plane of polarization of the light.

So the angle must be 90 degree.

The author went to a junk shop in Bridport. He noticed a roll-top desk. It was very old and made of oak. It was in a bad condition. It had burn-marks down one side. Since it was cheap, the author decided to buy it and get it repaired. He began working on it on Christmas Eve. He removed the roll-top. It had suffered much damage due to fire and water. He pulled out the upper drawers. The one at the bottom was jammed. He hit it hard with his first and pulled it out. He found a secret drawer underneath and wherein he found a small black tin box.

There was a note on it that said: “Jim’s last letter, received January 25, 1915.” The writer of the note also wished to bury the box in her grave. Out of curiosity, he opened the box. Inside it he found an envelope with the address: “Mrs Jim last letter, received January 25. 1915.” The writer of the note also wished to bury the box In her grave. Out of curiosity, he opened the box. Inside it he found an envelope with the address: “Mrs Jim Macpherson, 12 Copper Beeches, Bridport. Dorset.”

The letter was dated Dec. 26. 1914. The letter had been written by Jim to his wife Connie. He was a soldier, set against the Germans during the First World War. Jim wrote to her that he was very happy because something wonderful had happened. The soldiers on both sides of the no man’s land were In their trenches.

It was Christmas morning, cold and frosty Jimletter, received January 25. 1915.” The writer of the note also wished to bury the box In her grave. Out of curiosity, he opened the box. Inside it, he found an envelope with the address: “Mrs Jim Macpherson, 12 Copper Beeches, Bridport. Dorset.” The letter was dated Dec. 26. 1914. The letter had been written by Jim to his wife Connie. He was a soldier, set against the Germans during the First World War. Jim wrote to her that he was very happy because something wonderful had happened.

The soldiers on both sides of the no man’s land were In their trenches. It was Christmas morning, cold and frosty Jim Macpherson, 12 Copper Beeches, Bridport, Dorset.” The letter was dated Dec. 26, 1914. The letter had been written by Jim to his wife Connie. He was a soldier, set against the Germans during the First World War. Jim wrote to her that he was very happy because something wonderful had happened. The soldiers on both sides of the no man’s land were in their trenches. It was Christmas morning, cold and frosty.

Jim saw the German soldiers waving a white flag. They were calling out the English soldiers to say Happy Christmas. It was a big surprise to be greeted like friends by the enemies. But it was true, not a trick. The English soldiers also wished them in return. One of the German soldiers proposed to celebrate the festival. Jim was the officer in command. He allowed his men to join the Germans.

Grey coats and khaki coats mingled in the middle. In the time of war, they were making peace. The name of the German officer in command was Hans Wolf. Before joining the army he played the cello in an orchestra. Jim had been a school teacher in Dorset. Hans said that he knew Dorset well. In fact, he had read about that place in Hardy’s novel, Ear from the Madding Crowd.

The soldiers from the rival camps smoked, laughed, drank and feasted. Hans said that he liked the marzipan, the sweet covering on Jim’s bread. Jim wrote in the letter, that he had never seen or imagined a Christmas Party like that. They played football /also. Both agreed on one point. The countries should have better resolved their disputes by playing a football or cricket match because no one dies In a match whereas war leaves behind orphans and widows.

The game was finished, so did the drinks and cakes. Jim told Hans that they hoped to see families as soon as the fighting ended by Christmas next year. The author put the letter back into the envelope and drove Into Bridport. He just wanted to hand over the letter to Connie (Mrs Macpherson). Connie was now 101 years old. Her house had caught fire, but she was saved.

She was In the conservatory of a nursing home. The author wished her ‘Happy Christmas’ and gave the letter to her. She recognised the writing of her husband and felt very happy. She mistook the author for Jim who had come home, as promised on Christmas. She kissed the author on the cheek and asked him to read the letter to her. She wanted to listen to the voice of her husband. She said that he (Jim) himself was the best Christmas present to her.

The correct option is (C) More than 105 MHz.

Frequency range of ground wave is More than 105 MHz.

Linearly polarised light is the light wave in which the vibration of electric field vectors are confined in one plane and parallel to one unique direction. The intensity of transmitted light becomes maximum when the inserted polaroid and analyser (the Polaroid which receives light that is transmitted by inserted polaroid) have their axes parallel to each other.

The correct option is C) 30 MHz – 300 MHz.

TV channels utilize frequencies in the range of 54 to 88 MHz and 174 to 222 MHz (the entire FM radio band lies between channels 88 MHz and 174 MHz). 

The correct option is D) Parallel to E (vector) x B (vector).

E is the electric field vector, and B is the magnetic field vector of the EM wave. For electromagnetic waves E and B are always perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The direction of propagation is the direction of E x B.
