3.	“The pace of change has been rapid in modern times and has impacted the ways of communication as well.” In light of the given statement explain the role of a variety of means of communication that are used in India in the currents times.
Answer» Means of Personal Communication in India – (1) The Indian postal network is the largest in the world. It handles parcels as well as personal written communications. Cards and envelopes are considered first–class mail and are airlifted between stations covering both land and air. The second–class mail includes book packets, registered newspapers and periodicals. They are carried by surface mail, covering land and water transport. To facilitate quick delivery of mails in large towns and cities, six mail channels have been introduced recently. They are called Rajdhani Channel, Metro Channel, Green Channel, Business Channel, Bulk Mail Channel and Periodical Channel. (2) India has one of the largest telecom networks in Asia. Excluding urban places more than two-thirds of the villages in India have already been covered with Subscriber Trunk Dialling (STD) telephone facility. In order to strengthen the flow of information from the grass root to the higher level, the government has made special provision to extend twenty-four hours STD facility to every village in the country. There is a uniform rate of STD facilities all over India. It has been made possible by integrating the development in space technology with communication technology. Mass communication in India – (3) All India Radio (Akashwani) broadcasts a variety of programmes in national, regional and local languages for various categories of people, spread over different parts of the country. Doordarshan, the national television channel of India, is one of the largest terrestrial networks in the world. It broadcasts a variety of programmes from entertainment, educational to sports, etc. for people of different age groups. (4) India publishes a large number of newspapers and periodicals annually. They are of different types depending upon their periodicity. Newspapers are published in about 100 languages and dialects. Largest numbers of newspapers published in the country are in Hindi, followed by English and Urdu. (5) India is the largest producer of feature films in the world. It produces short films; video feature films and video short films. The Central Board of Film Certification is the authority to certify both Indian and foreign films.

Running at 3/4 of its usual speed, a train is 10 min late. Find its usual time to cover the journey.1. 10 min2. 20 min3. 30 min4. 40 min

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 30 min

GIVEN:

Ratio of speed = 4 ∶ 3 and time difference = 10 min

CONCEPT USED:

The ratio of speed is inverse of the Ratio of Time when the distance is constant

CALCULATION:

The ratio of Initial speed to Final speed = 4 ∶ 3

⇒ the Ratio of Initial Time to Final Time = 3 ∶ 4

⇒ The difference in time = 1

⇒ 1 = 10

⇒ Actual time taken = 3 × 10

⇒ 30 min
