93703.	What motivated Babar Ali to start his own school?
Answer» Babar All is the son of Nasiruddin Sheikh, a jute seller living in Bhapta neighbourhood of Gangapur village in West Bengal’s Murshidabad. Though Babar Ah lives ¡n a thatched house like most other people in the village, yet, he is one of the privileged ones in his village because his father is able to send Babar Ah to the village government school and give him a formal education. Babar Ah gradually learnt that there were a great number of children who could not afford to get a formal education in the village government school because they did not have enough money to pay for uniforms, books, etc,, though teaching was free. Furthermore, these children were required to support their parents with some additional income. The boys generally took up odd jobs working as mechanics, day labourers, grass cutters, livestock herders, etc., and the girls worked as maidservants in the village where they did cooking, cleaning, washing clothes and dishes for their employers and this way they earned some money and supported their parents in making a decent living. Babar Ah, who saw this; realized that he must do something for such other children in the village. It is this inner urge to do something for the other children in the village that motivated him to start his own afternoon school which he named ‘Anand Siksha Niketan’.

We don’t have to do anything to be born into a community – in fact, no one has any choice about which family or community or country they are born into. These kinds of identities are called ‘ascriptive’ – that is, they are determined by the accidents of birth and do not involve any choice on the part of the individuals concerned. It is an odd fact of social life that people feel a deep sense of security and satisfaction in belonging to communities in which their membership is entirely accidental. We often identify so strongly with communities we have done nothing to ‘deserve’ – passed no exam, demonstrated no skill or competence… This is very unlike belonging to, say, a profession or team.

93707.	Why does the poet fear the cruel power of money on people in ‘Money Madness’?
Answer» The poem ‘Money Madness’ makes an attempt to tell the reader how our fear of the cruel power of money will lead finally to our self-destruction. The speaker argues that if we develop a fear for the cruel power of money, then It will result in making the whole mankind develop a collective madness. This collective money madness is a result of each individual’s presumption that if he or she does not earn enough money and get society’s approval that he or she ¡s a person of worth, then he or she will be put to a great deal of humiliation. Then society will give the individual enough food to survive, but along with the food, society will also criticize the individual for not earning enough. It is this fear of being looked down upon by society that makes people crazy for money and this way collective madness sets in. Once this collective madness sets in, then we start killing each other and we start humiliating those who do not have enough money even to give them food, fire and shelter which ought to be available to everyone free of cast irrespéctive of whether one has enough money or not.

93750.	Find the equation of the line that cut off equal intercepts on the coordinate axis and passes through the point
Answer» Let the equal intercept is ‘a’, then equation of the required line is \(\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{a} = 1\) Since this line passes through the point (2, 3), we have; \(\frac{2}{a} + \frac{3}{a} = 1\) ⇒ \(\frac{5}{a}\) = 1 ⇒ a = 5 Therefore the equation of the line is \(\frac{x}{5}+ \frac{y}{5}\)=1 ⇒ x + y = 5.

Find the equation of the line that cut off equal intercepts on the coordinate axis and passes through the point

Answer»

Let the equal intercept is ‘a’, then equation of the required line is \(\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{a} = 1\)

Since this line passes through the point (2, 3),

we have; \(\frac{2}{a} + \frac{3}{a} = 1\) ⇒ \(\frac{5}{a}\) = 1 ⇒ a = 5

Therefore the equation of the line is \(\frac{x}{5}+ \frac{y}{5}\)=1

⇒ x + y = 5.
