One night, five electricity poles just outside the plot fall on the fence surrounding the plot and a stretch of fencing gives way. Antelopes from the plot of land escape to the nearby field and damage the crops. Framers sue Sudeep for the damage caused to their crops.(a) Sudeep is liable to compensate the farmers(b) Sudeep is not negligent so he is not liable to compensate the farmers(c) Farmers should sue the electricity department and not Sudeep.(d) Sudeep can recover compensation from the Electricity Department.

Facts: Shobha went to a hardware shop owned by Amit. Bargaining on some item led to an altercation between the two and Shobha picked up a hammer and hit Amit. Seeing Amit bleeding, his wife Mridula intervened and Shobha hit her also and she became unconscious. Even as Shobha was trying to escape, Amit delivered a severe blow to Shobha’s neck with a sharp object. Shobha died instantly.

(a) Amit is guilty of murder since he struck Shobha with a severe blow even as she was running away and hence it was not an act of self defence.

(b) Amit is not guilty since he committed the act to protect himself and his wife since he apprehended death by the acts of Shobha.

(c) Amit is guilty since he intended to kill Shobha.(d) Amit is not guilty since he never intended to kill Shobha.

death.(b) Vaishnavi will not be liable since she has a right to self defence.(c) Vaishnavi will not be liable since she could not have known that stabbing Mano in

Reading comprehension passage:

Although pollution of land, sea and air has been well documented, the latest and the best recognized version is the swelling tide of noise which is engulfing urban as well as rural areas. This has long-term implications on the ecology, health and productivity of a fast developing country like India.

Unlike other pollutants, noise lacks visibility, seldom registering on the consciousness, expect as a trifling irritant to be dismissed at will and therefore less likely to be perceived as a threat. Available data indicate that noise does pose a threat to health and is known to have caused a number of complications. Experiments with animals elsewhere have shown that certain intensity levels of noise cause convulsions and even death. Declining productivity among workers in certain industries has been directly correlated with noise levels, particular those under constant exposure to the menace.

A study by Post Graduate School of Basic Medical Sciences in Chennai confirms such conclusions. In 50% of industries it was found that workmen exposed to higher intensities of


17

noise in occupational capacities, were often irritated, short-tempered and impatient and more likely to resort to agitation and disrupt production. This was true of units in heavy industrial pockets in and around the metropolitan centres.

The phenomenal growth in the volume of vehicular traffic has contributed rapidly to a demon of decibel in urban areas. Beginning with pressure horns, there seems to be no let up in the production of more obnoxious variants to be sounded indiscriminately. Noise levels are particularly acute near railway junctions, traffic roundabouts bus termini, transit areas, fish and vegetable markets. Combined with lung power it exceeds 90dB at peak hours representing a dire threat to patients and pregnant women in the vicinity. Recreational noise, another ugly facet, is becoming more widespread in cities and towns. As experiments have shown, loudspeakers with output from 60 to 80dB cause the pupils of a slumbering person to dilate with increasing intake of oxygen, resulting in palpitation. The effect is more pronounced in narrow lanes.

A pilot survey carried out by the National Physical Laboratory concluded “There is no marked vertical escalation of noise levels but there is a horizontal spread encompassing more areas”. In other words with increasing number of two, four and six wheelers on the roads, noise levels have become uniformly high over large areas, doubling every six years for the last thirty years. At this rate the day is not far off when hearing losses would be as common as the common cold.

66. Why have the effects of noise pollution not been recognized?(a) Because it engulfs both urban and rural areas(b) Because it has long-term implications on the ecology.(c) Because it lacks visibility, it has not been investigated and documented.(d) Because it can cause a number of complications.

67. What have the experiments with animals shown?(a) They have shown that animals can lose their hearing(b) They have shown that loud noises can cause animals to die because of convulsions.(c) Extremely loud noise has led some animals to die of heart attacks.(d) Animals have also suffered from nausea, hypertension, loss of oxygen, etc.

68. Why were the workmen in industries irritated and short-tempered?(a) This was because of the shouting of the men around them.(b) This was because they had to work overtime and missed their meals.(c) This was because of the high level of noise caused by the traffic, the machines etc.(d) This was because they did not get paid on time.


18

69. Which, of the following, is the correct meaning for the word ‘variants’ ?(a) Various (b) Alternatives (c) Different(d) Temperaments

70. Some places where noise levels exceed 90dB in the peak hours are:(a) Bedrooms, living rooms, - anywhere in houses(b) The zoo, the playground, the park(c) A school, a classroom(d) Railway junctions, fish and vegetable markets

71. How do loudspeakers with an output of 60 to 80dB affect a person?(a) They cause a sleeping person’s pupils to dilate(b) They can cause convulsions and even death.(c) They can cause a person to become irritable and agitated(d) They can impair physical and psychological functions.

72. According to the passage, “There is no marked vertical escalation of noise levels but there is a horizontal spread encompassing more areas’. This can be inferred as:

(a) The ladder has fallen near the homes which produce the loudest noise.(b) Noise pollution does not limit itself to the areas immediately around us, but has become

more widespread and covers larger areas.(c) Noise pollution is caused by overhead traffic, i.e. airplanes, helicopters, etc.(d) Noise pollution is caused by all types of traffic.

73. What will be as common as a cold very soon?(a) Two, four and six wheelers(b) Loudspeakers blaring music and speeches both during the day and at night(c) A loss of hearing(d) Airplanes taking off every few minutes from the airport.74. What in your opinion is the tone and style of writing of the author?(a) rambling and analytical (b) personal and truthful(c) sarcastic and wordy
