Instructions :

The question paper is divided into Three sections.

Section B : Writing & Grammar 25 marks

Section C : Literature & Long Reading Text 25 marks

SECTION A

(READING :20 marks)

1 Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow : (1x8) (1) Mother Teresa was a humanitarian. This means she did things to help out other

people. Her entire life was devoted to helping the poor, the sick, the needy, and the helpless.

(2) Mother Teresa was born in Uskub, Ottoman Empire on August 26, 1910. This city is now called Skopje and is the capital of the Republic of Macedonia. Her birth name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. Her father died when she was eight and she was raised by her mother. She was raised as a Roman Catholic and decided at a young age to devote her life to God. She joined the Sisters of Loreto at the age of 18 to become a missionary in India. She first had to learn English. So she went to Ireland to learn English at the Loreto Abby.

(3) A year later she started her missionary work in Darjeeling, India. She learned the local language, Bengali, and taught at the local school. She soon took her first vows as a nun and took the name, Teresa. She taught for many years in India, becoming the headmistress at a school in eastern Calcutta.

(4) When she was 36 years old, she felt the call from God to help the poor of India. She received some basic medical training and then set out to help the sick and the needy. This wasn't an easy task in 1948 India. She had very little support and, while trying to feed and help the poorest of the poor, she herself was constantly hungry and even had to beg for food.

(5) Soon other women joined her and she formed the Missionaries of Charity. Mother Teresa described the purpose of the Missionaries of Charity as an organization to take care of "the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved and uncared for throughout society."

(6) It wasn't an easy task to build such an organization and to keep the focus on the poorest people. In 1979, Mother Teresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for work undertaken in the struggle to overcome poverty and distress, which also constitutes a threat to peace. She was beatified in 2003, the first step on the path to sainthood, within the Catholic church. She worked almost up until her death on September 5, 1997.

2 Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow : (2x4)+(1x4)=12

I learned to handle money at a very young age. But most children become adults with little or

no financial literacy. Here are four ways to make children understand money.

The first way is to set good examples. Children must understand by example that money

comes from hard work, and that it must not be wasted. I grew up seeing my parents work

hard, earn more and save sensibly. And like Dad, I have never run into debt.

Secondly, we must teach basic money management at home, because that’s never taught at

school. Many parents don’t discuss money with their children, one reason why there is

financial illiteracy among adults.

Most experts feel it’s best to give an allowance, depending on the child’s age and how much

the parent feels is right. By the time I was in high school, my Dad told me about his small

investment – fixed deposits, gold and property. Today I know that he was allocating his assets

to spread the risk.

Children also learn money management by working – part time jobs- teenagers can work part

time in advertising, malls and restaurants. These jobs provide the joy of their very first

earnings; they’ll also learn the dignity of labour. Today, many youngsters are deep in credit

card debt and parents are partly to blame; for not teaching them that borrowing money, costs

money which can ruin you. Make children understand that the craving for more and more,

which their friends might have, is not wise or appropriate behaviour.

In the age 8-10, the children are a bit more mature. They understand that money is valuable

and should be used carefully to get essential things. The first lesson would be to give your kid

a certain amount of money every month, similar to pocket money. If your kid demands a new

toy, ask him to save the pocket money for a few months and only then will he or she get the

toy. This way your child will learn to save and understand that everything cannot be bought

by thinking impulsively. Every financial decision needs to be planned and then taken into

account. You can also give examples from real life or some stories that the kid understands.

Question numbers 11 to 20 carry three marks each.

11 Let a be any positive integer.

By Euclid lemma

a=6q, 6q+1, 6q+2, 6q+3, 6q+4, 6q+5

Now a2=36q2=6m

a2=(6q+1)2=36q2+12q+1=6(6q2+2q)+1=6m+1

a2=(6q+2)2=36q2+24q+4=6m+4

a2=(6q+3)2=36q2+36q+9=6m+3

a2=(6q+4)2=36q2+48q+16=6m+4

a2=(6q+5)2=36q2+60q+25=6m+1

Hence square of any positive integer cannot be of the form 6m+2 or 6m+5.
