4.

Explain developing positive attitude.

Answer»

1. Have a Morning Routine. How you start your morning sets the tone for the rest of the day. Make sure that you have an attitude-boosting morning routine that puts you in a good mood so that you can start the day off right. 

2. Carry An Attitude of Happiness With You. Instead of waiting for external things to make you happy, be happy and then watch how that influences the things that go on around you. 

3. Relish Small Pleasures. Big pleasures—graduation, getting married, being promoted, having your book published—come too infrequently. Life is made up of tiny victories and simple pleasures. 

4. Upload Positivity to Your Brain. Read books with a positive message, listen to music with uplifting lyrics, and watch movies in which the protagonist’s optimism helps him/her to overcome obstacles and win, despite the odds.

1. Embrace Negativity With Solutions

Being positive doesn’t mean ignoring negative emotions or feelings. Accept negative feelings such as anger and sadness, and give them productive attention. This means, approach the negativity as a problem and see if you can find solutions for them.

2. Let It Go

Sometimes, problems do not have solutions and feelings cannot be resolved practically. This is when you need to accept that this is how you feel or that this problem has no solution, and learn to let it go and move forward to things you can solve.


3. Do the Little Things

Positivity is not something you can bring into your life overnight. Learn to consistently do the little things in life that nurture positivity. These include self-affirmations where you tell yourself what you appreciate in yourself and those around you. 

4. Art

Art is, in its purest form, an expression of emotion and that can be beautiful. Positivity stems from appreciation and creativity; take up an artistic activity you do daily. Remember that this activity shouldn’t be used in comparison with others – this is your space to express your mind.


5. Exercise Regularly

It is a well-known fact that those who exercise for at least 45 minutes per day are generally happier. This is because exercise has a huge effect on the balance of your brain chemicals. Exercising regularly also improves your energy levels which keeps negativity that stems from fatigue away.

6. ‘Me’ Time

A very important distinction to make is that being social doesn’t mean you are positive; taking time for yourself is crucial to developing a positive attitude. During ‘me’ time, you should do the things you genuinely enjoy doing the most. This is the time where you indulge yourself.


7. Learn Something New

Psychologists say that learning something new shifts your brain chemistry. Being positive needs a healthy mind, and learning something new is essential to that. Constantly challenge yourself to do something new that is out of your comfort zone.

 8. Try, Don’t Give Up

Positivity stems from productivity too. So, before you think something is too difficult or something is out of your reach, give it a shot. Don’t assume you cannot do something by its appearance alone. Remember that trying also boosts your confidence and self-esteem. Positivity takes effort.


9. Learn From and Let Go of the Past

Most negative thoughts come from experience. It is extremely common to cling onto your past failures and use them as excuses to give up. Change your approach, write down the experiences, find solutions to the failure, then let go of the actual failure. Keep only the lessons learnt10. Appreciate People

The people around you make you who you are. Learn to verbally appreciate them regularly, appreciation shown regularly to those around you will let them know you see them and their contribution to your life. Vocalize it; let them hear the positives. Keeping it to yourself isn’t going to help them recognize that you value them. Make notes of their contributions and regularly let them know that these things helped you or you valued these things. This also gives you the opportunity to do some self-reflection and see the support you receive regularly which boosts your mood as well.

These things can negatively impact your life; here are a few of them.


Limit the amount of time you spend in front of the TV.

Get outdoors for at least an hour every day.

Give the formula of ME. Elaborate the factors which affect the efficiency of a marker?

Answer»

ME (Marker Efficiency)-It may be defined as the ratio of the total area of all pattern pieces in the marker to the total area of the marker plan. It is expressed in percentage (%).

ME = \(\cfrac{Total\, area\, of\, the\, patten\, pieces\, in\, the\, market}{Total\, area\, of\, the\, market\, plan}\times 100\)

Factors affecting marker efficiency:

1. Marker Planner- Marker efficiency is largely governed by experience, technical knowledge, honesty, sincerity of marker planner. 

2. Marker length- If marker length is higher than marker efficiency will be higher. Bigger marker length enhances more production in the cutting room. 

3. Fabric characteristics- Marker efficiency will be higher for symmetrical fabric. But if the fabric is asymmetric then the marker efficiency will be less. 

4. Marker making method- Maker efficiency will be higher for computerized method than obtained in manual method. 

5. Marker width- If the marker width is more, than marker efficiency will be more because patterns can be placed in the marker easily. 

6. Style of the garment- The larger patterns and less small patterns for a particular style of the garments reduce marker efficiency and vice-versa.

Explain the word Hatha.

Answer»
  • Hatha yoga is a branch of yoga primarily concerned with mastery of the body, and it is arguably the tradition most familiar to Western culture. The term is derived from the Sanskrit ha, meaning "sun," and tha, meaning "moon," leading to the common interpretation that Hatha practices are designed to unite and balance these two energies. However, the literal translation of Hatha is "force," alluding to the physical techniques used within this tradition. 
  • Traditionally, Hatha yoga offered a total life philosophy, incorporating how we relate to external and internal experience as a path to inner peace. One of the most prominent ancient texts on Hatha yoga is Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, a series of 196 aphorisms written in Sanskrit around 400 AD. 
  • Patanjali describes Hatha yoga as an eightfold path, consisting of eight mindbody disciplines to be mastered. All other physical practices of yoga such as Vinyasa, Ashtanga and Iyengar stemmed from the Hatha yoga tradition.

How are exceptions handled in Java? Explain with the help of a suitable example.

Answer»

An error situation that is unexpected in the program execution and causes it to terminate unexpectedly is called an exception.

Java provides the following keywords to handle an exception:

try - A try block surrounds the part of the code that can generate exception(s).

catch – The catch blocks follow a try block. A catch block contains the exception handler - specific code that is executed when the exception occurs.

The optional finally block is always executed when the try block exits.

For example Division by zero exception:

try 

{

int quotient = divide(10,0); 

System. out. print ln (quotient);

catch (Exception e) 

System. out. print ln(e. get Message()); 

}

Consider the following C++ statements: char word [20]; cin>>word; cout<<word; gets(word); puts(word); If the string entered is “HAPPY NEW YEAR”, predict the output and justify your answer.

Answer»

cin>>word; 

cout<<word;

It displays “HAPPY” because cin takes characters upto the space. That is space is the delimiter for cin. The string after space is truncated. To resolve this use gets () function. Because gets () function reads character upto the enter key. 

Hence 

gets(word); 

puts(word); 

Displays “HAPPY NEW YEAR”
