Read the following extracts and answer the questions
They have lived here for more than thirty years without an identity, without permits but with ration cards that get their names on voters’ lists and enable them to buy grain. Food is more important for survival than identity.“If at the end of the day we can feed our families and go to bed without an aching stomach, we would rather live here than in the fields that gave us no grain”, say a group of women in tattered saris when I asked them why they left their beautiful land of green fields and rivers. Wherever they find food, they pitch their tents.

Their spontaneous demonstration, in thousands, around the courthouse was the beginning of their liberation from fear of the British. The officials felt powerless without Gandhi’s cooperation. He helped them regulate the crowd. He was polite and friendly. He was giving them concrete proof that their might, hitherto dreaded and unquestioned, could be challenged by Indians. The government was baffled. The prosecutor requested the judge to postpone the trial. Apparently, the authorities wished to consult their superiors.

Imagine you are John Keats, the poet of ‘A Thing of Beauty.’ What advice might you offer to Robert Frost, the poet of ‘A Roadside Stand’ in the context of his ‘The sadness that lurks near the open window’? Pen down your advice in a letter to Frost on how to deal with sadness.
Dear Robert,
I have recently read your poem ‘A Roadside stand’ and …… You may end this way :
Despite the fact that our lives are full of sorrow and suffering, the beautiful things around us give us the strength to endure the sadness of life.
Warmly
John Keats

KLB Ltd. forfeited 3,000 shares of ₹ 10 each, ₹ 8 per share called up for non-payment of first call of ₹ 2 per share. All these shares were reissued at ₹ 7 per share, ₹ 8 paid up. The amount transferred to Capital Reserve Account will be:

The Coulomb force (\( F \)) versus \( \frac{1}{r^2} \) graphs for two pairs of point charges (\( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \)) and (\( q_2 \) and \( q_3 \)) are shown in the figure. The charge \( q_2 \) is positive and has the least magnitude. Then: 

A thin spherical conducting shell of radius \( R \) has a charge \( q \). A point charge \( Q \) is placed at the center of the shell. Find:
(i) The charge density on the outer surface of the shell.
(ii) The potential at a distance \( R/2 \) from the center of the shell.

Two long insulated straight wires carrying currents of \( 3A \) and \( 5A \) are arranged in the XY plane as shown in the figure. Find the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic fields at points \( P_1(2m, 2m) \) and \( P_2(-1m, 1m) \). 

What is meant by displacement current? How is this current different from the conduction current? A capacitor is being charged by a source of emf. Justify the continuity of current in the circuit.

Find the temperature at which the resistance of a conductor increases by 25% of its value at \( 27^\circ \text{C} \). The temperature coefficient of resistance of the conductor is \( 2.0 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{C}^{-1} \).

In the given network, calculate: 
(i) Effective resistance between points A and M, and 
(ii) Power supplied by the battery. 

An infinite straight conductor is kept along \( X'X \) axis and carries a current \( I \). A charge \( q \) at point \( P(0, r) \) starts moving with velocity \( \vec{v} = v_0 \, \hat{j} \) as shown in figure. Find the direction and magnitude of force initially experienced by the charge.
