Questions(31-35) read the paragraph and answer the questions that follows Organisations are institutions in which members complete for status and power. they compete for resource of the organisation, for example finance to expand their own departments, for career advancement and for power to control the activities of others. In pursuit of these aims, grouped are formed and sectional interests emerge. As a result, policy decisions may serve the ends of political and career systems rather than those of the concern. In this way, the goals of the organisation may be displaced in favour of sectional interests and individual ambition. These preoccupations sometimes prevent the emergence of organic systems. Many of the electronic firms in the study had recently created research and development departments employing highly qualified and well paid scientists and technicians. Their high pay and expert knowledge were sometimes seen as a threat to the established order of rank, power and privilege. Many senior managers had little knowledge of technicality and possibilities of new developments and electronics. Some felt that close cooperation with the experts in an organic system would reveal their ignorance and show their experience was now redundant. 31. "Organic system" as related to the organization implies its A. B. C. D. Ans-B growth with the help of expert knowledge growth with input from science and technology steady all around development natural and unimpeded growth

32. Policy decision in organization would involve A. B. C. D. ANs-C cooperation at all levels in the organization modernization of the organization attracting highly qualified personnel keeping in view the larger objectives of the organizations

33. The author tends to the senior managers as A. B. C. D. Ans-A ignorant and incompetent a little out of step with their work environment jealous of their younger colleagues robbed of their rank, power and privilege

34. The author makes out a case for A. B. C. D. Ans-A organic system Research and Development in organisations an understanding between senior and middle level executives a refresher course for senior managers

flow through the fuse without its melting. Hence, fuse wire will melt, circuit breaks and the electric iron will not work. 2 23. a. b. c. d. Large amount of heat energy is required to break the inter-ionic attractive forces. A thin but strong layer of aluminium oxide is formed on its surface which protects aluminium atoms underneaeth. Solder has a low melting point. It is easier to extract a metal from its oxide by the process of reduction than from its sulphide.

points inside the solenoid. 1 This principle is utilized to magnetise a piece of magnetic material like soft iron when placed inside the coil. 1 Ways to strengthen this electromagnet: i. Increase the amount of electric current through it Vz ii. Increase the number of turns of coil. V2 OR (i) Activity: Take a coil of wire, AB, having a large number of turns and connect it to a galvanometer. Move the north pole of a strong bar magnet towards one end, B, of the coil. The galvanometer shows a momentary deflection indicating the presence of electric current in the coilAB. When the magnet is withdrawn / taken away from the coil, the galvanometer again shows momentary deflection in a direction, opposite to the first, indicating that the current is set up in the opposite direction. 2 Rule: Flemings right hand rule: stretch the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of right hand so that these are perpendicular to each other. If the forefinger indicates the direction of the magnetic field and the thumb shows the direction of motion of the conductor, then the middle finger will show the direction of current generated in the coil. 1 ii. a) The galvanometer shows a momentary deflection (due to electric current induced in it) 1 b) The galvanometer shows a momentary deflection (due to change in amount of electric current). 1 1. d 2. b 3. c 4. b 5. a 6. c 7. a 8. c 9. b 10. b 11. c 12. d 13. b 14. d 15. d 16. b ok , best of luck
