Della had beautiful long hair. She sold it for twenty dollars. Thus she was able to buy a Christmas gift for Jim.

Jim was only twenty-two and he was burdened with a family. He earned only twenty dollars a week. Out of it, eight dollars went for the house rent. Thus very little was left to run the house. Jim had no overcoat or gloves. He looked very thin and serious. That is why the story writer calls him ‘a poor fellow’.

The conditions of the tenants were somehow improved. But the conditions of the landless agricultural workers remain the same. They are still in the same poverty.

“Alas! Today is a bad day for us. I lost my 4000 acres of land. Till now my house is filled with bags of grains, wealth, servants and vetti people. But now I lost everything.

Correct Answer is: (a) Painter

We can say that the Act was implemented in a mean way.

Several landlords gave false declarations to the officers and did not reveal the excess land. Anticipating the Act several landlords transferred their lands in the names of their close relatives, friends, and even farm servants. There were also instances where fictitious divorces were taken in law courts to show husband and wife as separate families. In this way even those farmers who had surplus land as per the Act protected their lands and did not show any surplus. Some of the surplus land that was taken over by the government was not fit for cultivation.

One of the states in which the Land Ceiling Act was more efficiently implemented was West Bengal. The West Bengal government acted with great determination and mobilized the landless and small peasants to participate in the implementation of the ceiling laws.

The Act could not be implemented properly due to machinations of the landlords and also lack of sufficient political determination on the part of the government.

‘Vetti’ is a black spot for humanity. Many struggles were led against this. So the end of it was important for all kinds of peasants.

The requirement of sugar for 5 cups of raspberry juice = 2 1/2 cups = 5/2 cups

The requirement sugar for 1 cup of  raspberry juice = (5/2 + 5) cups

= (5/2 x 1/5) cups = 1/2 cups

Thus, the requirement of sugar for cups of the raspberry juice = 6 x 1/2 cups = 3 cups 

(iv) Watch-chain.

Correct answer is O’ Henry.

(A) January 1975

The Act could not be implemented properly due to machinations of the landlords and also lack of sufficient political determination on the part of the government.

It is very difficult to implement these laws in 1950. “Acquisition of that much land from the owners, that too immediately after independence there might be a chance of inner conflicts and strong opposition. But there were many leaders like Sardar Vailabhai Patel. The government might meet the challenges arisen. So I also think that it should have been implemented in 1950.

The Land Ceiling Act defined a family with 5 members as a unit.

Several landlords gave false declarations to the officers and did not reveal the excess land.

One of the states in which the Land Ceiling Act was more efficiently implemented was West Bengal.

Land Ceiling: There is a limitation in the ownership of land – one unit – 10 to 27 acres of irrigated land and 35 to 54 acres of dryland

“I got 4 acres of land according to this Act. I paid some amount for this. Till now I and my family members worked hard in our Dora’s fields. But from now onwards I am the owner of this land. We, the family members, work hard in our own field. We are so happy. We breathe- in the air of independence”.

Many Acts after independence have not changed the ownership of lands in India. It changed Zamindars as landlords, landlords as big farmers. But it did nothing to the common poor. The ownership of the land was only a few hands. So the Land Ceiling Act became necessary.

(A) September 1972

Yes, I agree with them. According to these laws, the Zamindars became landlords, some tenants became land owners and some poor became owners of banjar lands. So we can say that internal conflicts were minimised.

Yes, I agree with them. Giving compensation to the zamindars, continuing them as owners of the Khudkasht etc., reveal this.

Yes, I agree with them. The reason behind it is the government made a rule that the tenants would be given land only if they paid some price for it. Those peasants who could pay became the owners of the land. Rest of them were remained as poor only.
