Direction: According to Pandit Ajay, ragas like Malhar and Des are like seasonal fruits-they simply taste better during a certain time of the year. Singing Malhar in the summer or winter is no taboo, But see, the notes of these of these typical monsoon rages and the lyrics of their bandishes have a strong symbolic connection with the rains, the pleasant chill in the air and even the refreshing fragrance that the happy Earth exhales. So it makes more sense to save these ragas for the monsoon. The artiste as well as the audience identify with them better when they are actually living the experience the ragas embody. Indian classical music, the maestro feels, captures myriad facets of rain, be it the gnawing separation anxiety it is reminiscent of, or the pensive, poetic thoughts they bring along. I believe in positive, feel good compositions that evoke joy in the listeners' mind. There is needed to be a special bond between two artists if they want to truly perform together. Who'll notice their beauty, if some exotic flowers are scattered separately ? They need to be arranged in an attractive bouquet to be beheld with awe.

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.

Mandela recollects that it was almost impossible for a black man in south Africa to fulfill his obligation to his family and society because of the system of apartheid practiced by the white rulers. He began to hanker after freedom when he realized that his freedom had been taken away from him when he reached manhood. He yearned for the basic and honorable freedoms of achieving his potential, of marrying, having a family-the freedom not to be obstructed in a lawful life. When Mandela realized that not only his freedom was curtailed, but the freedom of everyone who looked like him was also curtailed. That's when he joined the African national Congress and that is when the hunger for his own freedom became the greater hunger for the freedom of his people.

Direction: The order of a system is defined as being the highest power of derivative in the differential equation, or being the highest power of s in the denominator of the transfer function. A first-order system only has s to the power one in the denominator. while a second-order system has the highest power of s in the denominator being two. Many system are approximately first-order. The important feature is that the storage of mass, momentum and energy can be captured by one parameter. Examples of first-order systems are velocity of a car on the road, control of the velocity of a rotating system, electric systems where energy storage is essentially in one capacitor or one inductor, in compressible fluid flow in a pipe, level control of a tank, pressure control in a gas tank, temperature in a body with essentially uniform temperature distribution (e.g., steam filled vessel).
