Q.1 Read the following passage and answer the questions given
below - [1×10=10]
In November 1918, Dr.Ambedkar joined Sydenham College as a professor of political economics and worked there for two years. With his little savings, some help from the Maharaja of Kolhapur, and with a loan of five thousand rupees from his friend, Naval Bhathena, he left for England in 1920 to complete his studies in Law and Economics. He resumed his studies at the London School of Economics and kept his terms at Gray’s Institute of Law. He turned his attention to the London Museum where the relics of the saintly and scientific thoughts are preserved, where the ruins of the antique world are displayed and where Karl Marx, Mazzini, Lenin and Savarkar had dug for knowledge and digested it. In the Museum, he pored over books from morning till evening. Time was an important factor with him. To save both money and time, he would go without lunch. After this, the second round of reading begins at his residence. The endless reading would go on till early morning. He told his roommate that his poverty and lack of time required him to finish his studies as early as possible.During these studies in London for his academic eminence, he had not forgotten
the real aim in his life. He could not for a minute forget the dumb faces of the untouchables in India. He took up this matter with the Secretary of State for India and also held discussion with Mr. Vithalbhai Patel in London. Neither could he forget the alien political realities of the nation. In a paper read before the Students Union and also in his famous thesis, “The Problem of the Rupees”, he exposed the hollowness of the British policies in India, which caused a stir in the academic world of London and Ambedkar was suspected to be an Indian Revolutionary.

Q.2 Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given [4]
below -
Destruction of forests has a major impact on the productivity of
our croplands. This happens in two ways. Soil erosionincreases
manifold and the soil literally gets washed away, leading to an
accentuated cycle of floods and droughts. But equally important
is the impact of the shortage of firewood on the productivity of
croplands. When firewood becomes scarce, people begin to
bum cow dung and crop wastes. In many places cow dung and
crop wastes are now the major sources of cooking energy.
Thus, slowly every part of the plant gets used and nothing goes
back to the soil. Over a period of time this nutrient drain affects
crop productivity. Add to this the technology of the Green
Revolution, the technology of growing high yielding varieties on
a limited diet of chemical fertilizers like nitrogen, phosphates
and potash. The total biomass production goes up and so does
the drain of the nutrients from the soil.
