Deductive reasoning is a logical process that act of coming to conclusion based on one or more information.

• It is also known as top-down thinking because it usually starts with general conclusion and ends with a specific conclusion.
• In a deductive argument, if all the premises are true , and the terms correctly applied , then it state that conclusion will also be true.
  • For Example, If A=B and B=C, then deductive reasoning tells us that A=C.

Deductive Reasoning works from more general to particular or specific. But, Inductive Reasoning move from particular observations to general theories.

Hence, Deductive Reasoning involves reasoning from general to particular. 

b) Benzodiazepines 

d) All of the above

The correct answer is the Presence of ferric oxide.

• The presence of ferric oxide is the reason for the color of soil being red in some parts of India.

• Red Soil:
  • Formed by weathering of a crystalline and metamorphic mixture of clay and sand.
  • They are red in color because of their high Iron-oxide (FeO) content.
  • They are deficient in phosphoric acid, organic matter, and nitrogenous material.
  • Red soils cover the eastern part of the peninsular region comprising Chhotanagpur plateau, Odisha, eastern Chhattisgarh, Telangana, the Nilgiris, and Tamil Nadu plateau.
  • Crops Grown: Wheat, Rice, Millets, Pulses.
• Laterite Soil:
  • The Laterite soils are formed due to the weathering of lateritic rock in high temperatures and heavy rainfall with an alternate dry and wet period.
  • They are found along the edge of the plateau in the east covering small parts of Tamil Nadu, Orissa, and a small part of Chhotanagpur in the north and Meghalaya in the north‑east.
  • Laterite soils are red in color with a high content of iron-oxides; poor in Nitrogen and Lime. 

b) Triazolam

Triazolam benzodiazepines has the shortest duration of action.

b) Clordiazepoxide

 Correct answer is a. Positive thinking

 Correct answer is c. E-banking

The loss of energy at each step is so great that very little usable energy remains after four trophic levels.

 Correct answer is a. Self motivation

1 ab-volt is equal to 1.0E-8 volt.

Since normality is defined as 

Normality= number of gram equivalent / Volume (l)

Hence 0.5 = Ñ/0.2 where Ñ is number of gram equivalent 

solving we get Ñ= 0.1 

Also number of gram equivalent = Mass/Eq mass 

and Eq mass = molecular mass / valence 

For given compound molecular mass is 106 and valence is 2

So Eq mass is 53

substituting know data we get mass as 0.1× 53 gm= 5.3 gm

The boy wanted to be a marine engineer. He wanted to travel in a ship. He wanted to be the captain of the ship. He wanted to build the engine of the ship. He wanted to know if he would be able to do all this and how to achieve his mission and what he should do to achieve it.

The audience looked at Dr Kalam when the boy completed the question because it was a very tough question to answer. The boy was from a remote village and he himself admitted that he was nervous. He wanted to be a marine engineer, the captain of the ship and he wanted to build the engine of the ship. The audience was curious to know what reply Kalam was going to give to this young boy.

Yes, I would. I would ask him to tell me ways to eradicate poverty from our country.

Dr Kalam says that ‘No youth needs to fear about the future’ because the ignited mind of the youth is the most powerful resource on the earth, under the earth and above the earth.

Kalam valued the boy’s question because it was the most difficult question among the many questions he had reœived from millions and millions of students he had met. The boy was echoing the fear of many.

Yes, I have sometimes felt inferior to others in some ways.

You can be unique by being yourself. The world around you wants you to be like others. At home, you parents will tell you to be like the children of the neighbors. At school, the teacher will tell you to be like the first 5 rankers of the class. All the people tell you to be somebody else. But Kalam tells you to be ‘YOU’. You should not try to be somebody else. You should not be a copycat. Be you and thus you can be unique.

I will try to build self-confidence, telling me I learned to walk after falling many times. If you are afraid, you will not be able to do anything good and people will despise you.

I can attain my goal through hard work, self confidence and perseverance. I will also need the support of my family and well-wishers.

My ambition in life is to become a good teacher and help the students to become competent persons and lovers of humanity.

Yes, I am confident enough to ask questions and express my views in public.

Yes, I am confident that I can fulfill my dream.

The mission of Sashtrayaan was the preparation of about 2000 students from different schools to be engineers, doctors, scientists, qualified managers and civil servants. This would, in turn, empower 2000 families of the village.

The boy couldn’t gather confidence because he did not get it through his education all those years. One of the primary things education should do is to instill confidence in the students. The failure of the boy to gain confidence can be seen as the failure of the educational system and the teachers.

(a) Absolute address

=$A$3 is an example of Absolute address.

My dear students, 

You are soon going to appear for the SSLC Examination which is considered to be a big turning point in your life. Some students get panicky before the examination and spoil their chances to do well. There is no need to fear. The examinations are simply to test your understanding of the things that you have been taught in the class. Millions of students before you have taken this kind of examination. So this is nothing new or terrifying.

Be confident. Don’t be nervous. Be optimistic. Be cool, calm and composed. Fear will not help you. It will only make you forget what you already know. You have been reading your lessons regularly and doing the assignments. The teachers have been testing your knowledge every now and then. You already know what types of questions are coming in the examination and the time you have to answer them. So read the instructions and questions carefully and make a plan to answer them in the most appropriate manner.

You have read the story ‘His First Flight’ by Liam O’Flaherty. The seagull was reluctant to take his first flight. But goaded by his mother, he takes his flight and then he finds it is smooth and he experiences no problem. In a similar fashion, you go courageously and confidently to take your examination and everything is going to be fine. Keep your mind happy with encouraging thoughts. Be optimistic. You are not the first or the only one going to write this examination.

Life is full of examinations. The people who face them with confidence and courage will succeed in life. You don’t have to compare yourself with others. Kalam has told you to be unique, to be you. You know you have done your best during the preparation time. Now you simply have to do your best as you write the examination without being unduly worried about the result. Do your best and leave the rest to God. 

I wish you all the resounding success in the forthcoming examinations.

Dear friends, 

The youth of the past have continuously contributed to the world of today in many fields. Today the youth does not have to fear about the future. The flamed mind of the youth is the most powerful resource on earth. The topic I will talk to you today is “I am born with wings’.

Last year I went to a village to inaugurate a programme called ‘Sashtrayaan’ which means the propagation of Science’. It was to ensure the preparation of about 2000 students from different schools to be engineers, doctors, scientists, qualified managers and civil servants. This would, in turn, empower 2000 families of the village. My inaugural address to the audience of about 5000 people was on ‘Science Empowers the Nation’.

After my talk, hundreds of hands were raised for asking questions. Because of the lack of time, I chose 12 students at random from the last row to the first to ask questions. One question impressed me greatly and I want to share it with you.

The question was from a teenager who came from a remote village. He was nervous and a typical representative of the youth of India. He began like this, “Sir, I don’t know what I should ask. I am nervous. I have not asked any question in class. I need to have confidence, but I have not gained any confidence through my education all these years. I am afraid to talk to my teachers, and even to my friends. Whenever I talk I compare myself with other students and their elegant dress. I want to become a marine engineer. I want to travel in a ship. I want to be the captain of the ship. I want to build the engine of the ship. Shall I be able to do all this, Sir? How can I achieve this mission? What should I do?” The entire audience and the dignitaries on the dais, including the Chief Minister, looked at me wondering how I would answer this sincere question from a village boy.

I replied, “You have put the most difficult question I have received from millions and millions of students I have met. I know you are echoing the fear of many. Let me recite a beautiful ancient poem named ‘I will fly’.

I am born with potential. 

I am born with goodness and trust 

l am born with ideas and dreams. 

I am born with greatness. 

I am born with confidence. 

I am born with wings. So, 

I am not meant for crawling, 

I have wings, I will fly 

I will fly and fly.

Let me tell you how you can be unique. I have met some 15 million youth in a decade’s time. Every youth wants to be unique, that is YOU! But the world all around you is doing its best to make you just ‘everybody else’. In your home, you are asked by your parents to be like the neighbors’ children for scoring good marks. At school, your teacher asks you to be like the first 5 rankers in the class. Wherever you go people tell you to be somebody else or everybody else. But you should be unique – yourself.

The challenge is that you have to fight the hardest battle which any human being can ever imagine, and never stop fighting until you arrive at your destined place, that is a UNIQUE YOU.

Science empowers the nation by making continuous progress in the fields of agriculture, medicine, nutrition, mining, industries of various kinds, architecture, space exploration, defense, transportation, communication and all such related matters that bring progress to the nation.

Dearest Raj, 

I was greatly inspired by a speech of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam in one of the English text books. In that speech, Kalam tells students to be unique. He says that the world around you wants you to be like others. At home, you parents will tell you to be like the children of the neighbors. At school the teacher will tell you to be like the first 5 rankers of the class. All the people tell you to be somebody else. But Kalam tells you to be ‘YOU’. You should not try to be somebody else. You should not be a copycat. He says “Be you and thus you can be unique”. I think this is a wonderful idea. This will release everybody from his inferiority complex. It is when you compare yourself with others you feel inferior. Kalam wants people to be confident, self-reliant and hardworking. He wants everyone to believe he was born with some potential, ideas and dreams. Everybody is born with wings and so nobody needs to crawl because he can fly. And as he has confidence he will fly. I really enjoyed this speech and it has given me a new insight.

(a) Difference between methanal and methanol is that methanal is methanal, formaldehyde while methanol is methanol. As nouns the difference between methanal and methanol is that methanal is methanal, formaldehyde while methanol is methanol.

(b) Fehling solution is the best chemical test which can be used to distinguish between ethanal and propanone.

This fehling solution is the cupric hydroxide.

When you add this to any like the ethanal, the aldehyde available in the compound gets oxidized to the identical acid.

As a result of this, cuprous oxide gets formed. For the ketone like propanone, it does not reveal this reaction.

(c) Iodoform chemical tests for the Pentan-2-one and pentan-3-one will distinguish the chemical compounds in the right way.

During the Iodoform chemical testing, a chemical compound will react only if it is a methyl ketone.

On that note, the iodoform testing results will show you Pentan-2-one is a methyl ketone and it responds to the chemical testing.

But, pentan-3-one is not a methyl ketone and it never responds to the iodoform test.
