Passage No. 7

Sound is a kind of energy and it needs a medium to travel as it is a kind of longitudinal wave. The speed of sound in different medium is different.
Along with the nature of the medium temperature also affects the speed of the sound. At 25ºC speed of sound in some medium is given below :
1.

Air



346 m/.s

2.

Water (Distilled)



1498 m/s

3.

Water (Sea)



1531 m/s

4.

Flint Glass



3980 m/s

5.

Steel



5960 m/s

Sound energy gets reflected through a suitable reflecting surface. An echo is a reflected sound which is heard separately. The sensation of sound persists in our brain for about 0.1sec. To hear the echo clearly at
22ºC, the minimum distance between the source of sound and obstacle should be 17.2 m as the speed of sound in air at that temperature is 344 m/s. 1.

The speed of sound is more in sea water than in distilled water at the same temperature because of
(i)

taste of sea water is different from distilled water

(ii)

density of sea water is more than distilled water

(iii) sea water can conduct electricity
(iv) animals can survive in sea water.
2.

An echo is returned in 3 sec. at 22ºC in a hall. What will be the distance of reflecting surface from the source.

(i)

1032 m

(iii) 258 m
3.

516 m

(iv) 344 m

The speed of sound in space will be
(i)

0 m/s

(iii) 596 m/s
4.

(ii)

(ii)

332 m/s

(iv) 1498 m/s

In the same medium the speed of sound
(i)

increase with temperature

(ii)

decreases with temperature

(iii) remains same
(iv) first increase then decrease

Passage No. 8
In everyday life, we see some objects at rest and others in motion. An object may appear to be moving for one person and stationary for some other. Most motions are complex. Some objects may move in a straight line, others may take a circular path. The simplest type of motion is the motion along a straight line. The shortest distance measured from the initial to the final position of an object is known as the displacement.
If the object covers equal distance in equal intervals of time, it is said to be in uniform motion. During uniform motion of an object along a straight line, the velocity remainse constant with time. In this case, the change in velocity of the object for any time interval is zero. However, in non-uniform motion, velocity varies with time. Non-uniform motion is of two types – uniform acceleration and non-uniform acceleration. If a car travelling along a straight road increases its speed by unequal amount in equal intervals of time, the car is said to be moving with non-uniform acceleration whereas, if its speed increases or decreases by equal

amount in equal interval of time, it is said to be moving with uniform acceleration. The table given below shows distance (in metres) travelled by three cars
A, B and C. Read this data carefully and answer the questions that follow :

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow :
Some animals in a forest decided to start a school. The students included a bird, a squirrel, a fish, a dog, a rabbit and a mentally retarded eel. A board was formed to determine the curriculum and it was decided that flying, tree climbing, swimming and burrowing would give a broad-based education. All animals were required to take all subjects.
The bird was excellent at flying and was getting A’s but when it came to burrowing, it kept breaking its break and wings and started failing. Pretty soon, it started making C’s in flying and, of course, in tree climbing and swimming it was getting F’s. The squirrel was great at tree climbing, but was failing in swimming. The fish was the best swimmer but couldn’t get out of the water and thus got F’s in everything else. The dog didn’t join the school, stopped paying taxes, and kept fighting with the administration to include barking as part of the curriculum. The rabbit got A’s in burrowing but tree climbing was a real problem. It kept falling and landing on its head, suffered brain damage, and soon couldn’t even burrow properly

and got C’s in that too.
The mentally retarded eel, who did everything half as well, became the valedictorian of the class. The board was happy because everybody was getting a broad-based education.
A true broad-based education prepares students for life, without losing their areas of specialization and competence.
1. Which of the following competition was not organized by the school board?
(a) Flying competition
(b) Tree-climbing competition
(c) Running
(d) Swimming competition
2. Mentally retarded eel became the valedictorian of the class because ...............................
(a) she did everything half heartedly.
(b) she showed better performance in all other fields without losing her own area of specialization.
(c) she was obedient due to mental retardedness.
(d) the school board was happy with her.
3. On today’s education system, this paragraph ..........................
(a) is a satire.
(b) is an effort to show the conditions of education system.
(c) is an effort to understand the problems.
(d) shows the importance of broad-based education.
4. What is a ’broad-based education’?
(a) Students should prepare for life without losing their areas of specialisation and competence.
(b) We are all gifted with some strengrhs so we should get specialization only in that field.
(c) The syllabus is prepared specially for the mentally retarded.
(d) It is a mean to make school board happy.
5. What is the suitable title for the paragraph?
(a) Broad-based education system
(b) Panchayat of animals
(c) School in a jungle
(d) Importance of broad-based education
6. The dog denied to pay the tax because ..............................
(a) he was selfish

(b)
(c)
(d)

he wanted to join the school board he wanted to learn the skills of others he wanted to make the syllabus more broad-based by including barking in the syllabus

Passage No. 8
