Write an article stressing on ‘Positive thinking as the very core of success’ in about 150-200 words. |
|
Answer» Positive Thinking Positive thinking brings inner peace, success, improved relationships, better health, happiness and satisfaction. It also helps the daily affairs of life move more smoothly, and makes life look bright and promising. Positive thinking is contagious. People around you pick your mental moods and are affected accordingly. Think about happiness, good health and success and you will cause people to like you and desire to help you, because they enjoy the vibrations that a positive mind emits. In order to make positive thinking yield results, you need to develop a positive attitude towards life, expect a successful outcome of whatever you do, but also take some necessary actions to ensure your success. It is not enough to think positively for a few moments, and then letting fears and lack of belief enter your mind. Some effort and inner work is necessary. Think positive and expect only favourable results and situations, even if your current circumstances are not as you wish them to be. In time, your mental attitude will affect your life and circumstances and change them accordingly. सकारात्मक सोच आंतरिक शांति, सफलता, अच्छे संबंध, बेहतर स्वास्थ्य, प्रसन्नता तथा संतोष लाती है। यह जीवन के प्रतिदिन के मामलों को और अधिक सुचारू रूप से चलते रहने में मदद करती है तथा जीवन को प्रसन्न तथा आशाजनक बनाती है। सकारात्मक सोच एक व्यक्ति से दूसरे व्यक्ति में फैलने वाली चीज है। आपके पास के लोग आपकी मनोदशा को जानकर उसके अनुसार ही आपसे प्रभावित होते हैं। प्रसन्नता, अच्छे स्वास्थ्य तथा सफलता के बारे में सोचो तथा आप लोगों को अपने आपको पसंद करवा लेंगे तथा वे आपकी मदद करने की इच्छा करेंगे क्योंकि वे उस स्पंदन का आनंद लेंगे जो कि एक सकारात्मक मस्तिष्क से बाहर निकलता है। सकारात्मक सोच से परिणाम प्राप्त करने के लिए, जो कुछ भी आप करते हैं उस सकारात्मक सोच के सिवाय आपको जीवन के प्रति सकारात्मक दृष्टिकोण विकसित करना होगा, लेकिन अपनी सफलता को पक्का करने के लिए कोई आवश्यक कदम भी उठायें। केवल कुछ क्षणों के लिए सकारात्मक सोचना ही पर्याप्त नहीं, फिर डर तथा विश्वास की कमी आपके मस्तिष्क में प्रवेश करती। कुछ प्रयास व आंतरिक कार्य अति आवश्यक हैं। सकारात्मक तरीके से सोचो तथा केवल अनुकूल परिणाम तथा स्थिति की आशा करो, भले ही आपकी वर्तमान स्थिति ऐसी नहीं हो जैसी कि आप होने की कामना करते हो। समय पर, आपका मानसिक दृष्टिकोण आपके जीवन और परिस्थितियों को प्रभावित करेगा तथा उन्हें उनके अनुसार बदलेगा। |

20. Bleeding disease is due to the deficiency of :a. Painb. Rectalc. Vitamin \( E \).d. Vitamin K |
|
Answer» The bleeding disease is due to the deficiency of Vitamin K. Vitamin K plays a major role in the process of blood clotting. It is involved in the posttranslational modification, and activation of the clotting factor II (prothrombin), VII, IX, and X in the liver. The deficiency of vitamin K results in the lack of active prothrombin. Due to this blood clotting is adversely affected, and the clotting time is increased. |

Read the below questions carefully and answer the given questions:The economy, the relief and social development is deeply influenced the economic progress. In the social development, the area can be applied to the development of economic progress there. Indian agriculture, almost completely dependent on. agriculture (aggregated). In which development of the monsoon has given significant contributions to providing a major and strong basis. Monsoon is called a pivotal point of the country. Apart from agriculture, the entire production is dependent oh agricultural production, If monsoon rainfall is in appropirate amount, the agricultural production increases. But because of the failure of monsoon, the crops dried. The country goes dry and the grains are reduced in the stores.(a) Discuss the important features of the monsoon.(b) Why the Indian Economy (budget) is called gambling of monsoon winds? |
|
Answer» (a) In India rainfall is mainly in July to September. This is the period of southwest monsoons blowing from sea to land. There are three important features of the monsoon rainfall.
(b) Indian monsoon is a gambling of monsoon winds. This sentence reveals that the advancement of India’s economy depends on that how much appropriate time of any year, distribution and quantity. If the rain comes on time and its quantity is also suitable, a good crop of agriculture can be expected. For example- crops are good due to good monsoon, so three things happen.

The number of critical points of the function f(x)= 2sinx |cosx| in [0,6π] is |
|
Answer» f(x) = 2 sin x | cos x |, x ∈ [0, 6π] f(x) = \(\begin{cases}2\,sin\,x\,cos\,x,&x\,\in[0,\frac{\pi}{2}]\cup[\frac{3\pi}{2},\frac{5\pi}{2}]\cup[\frac{7\pi}{2},\frac{9\pi}{2}]\cup[\frac{11\pi}{2},6\pi]\\-2\,sin\,x\,cos\,x,&x\,\in[\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{3\pi}{2}]\cup[\frac{5\pi}{2},\frac{7\pi}{2}]\cup[\frac{9\pi}{2},\frac{11\pi}{2}]\end{cases}\) ⇒ f(x) = \(\begin{cases}sin\,2x,&x\,\in[0,\frac{\pi}{2}]\cup[\frac{3\pi}{2},\frac{5\pi}{2}]\cup[\frac{7\pi}{2},\frac{9\pi}{2}]\cup[\frac{11\pi}{2},6\pi]\\-sin\,2x,&x\,\in[\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{3\pi}{2}]\cup[\frac{5\pi}{2},\frac{7\pi}{2}]\cup[\frac{9\pi}{2},\frac{11\pi}{2}]\end{cases}\) By differentiating f(x) w.r.t. x, we obtain, f'(x) = \(\begin{cases}2\,cos\,2x,&x\,\in[0,\frac{\pi}{2}]\cup[\frac{3\pi}{2},\frac{5\pi}{2}]\cup[\frac{7\pi}{2},\frac{9\pi}{2}]\cup[\frac{11\pi}{2},6\pi]\\-2\,cos\,2x,&x\,\in[\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{3\pi}{2}]\cup[\frac{5\pi}{2},\frac{7\pi}{2}]\cup[\frac{9\pi}{2},\frac{11\pi}{2}]\end{cases}\) For critical points, we have to find these x which gives f'(x) = 0 Now, f'(x) = 0 gives cos 2x = 0 = cos(2n+1)π/2 ⇒ 2x = (2n+1)π/2 ⇒ x = (2n+1)π/4, n ∈ 0, 1, 2, .... , 12. Hence, number of critical points are 13. Alternative :→ f(x) = 2 sin x | cos x | ⇒ f(x) = | sin 2x | Then f'(x) = | 2 cos 2x | Thus, f'(x) = 0 gives | cos 2x | = 0 ⇒ cos 2x = 0 (∵ |x| = 0 ⇒ x = 0) ⇒ cos 2x = 0 = cos(2n+1)π/2 ⇒ 2x = (2n+1)π/2 ⇒ x = (2n+1)π/4 Since, x ∈ [0, 6π] ∴ x = (2n+1)π/4, n = 0, 1, 2, .... , 12 are critical points of function f(x). Hence, number of critical points = 13. |

Explain the process of transportation of substances in phloem. |
|
Answer» Trans-location, i.e., transportation of food, in plants takes place through phloem. Sieve tubes with the help of adjacent companion cells in the phloem move the soluble food in the form of sucrose, amino acids etc in both upward and downward directions. Live cells of phloem actively take up material like sucrose using energy from ATP. This increases the osmotic pressure of the tissue causing water to move into it. This pressure moves the material in the phloem to tissues which have less pressure. According to the needs of the plants food from leaves to storage organs of roots, fruits and seeds and the growing regions or from stored parts such as roots or stem to the buds (in Spring) which needs energy to grow is transported. |
