Read the passage and answer the following question.
Market gardening and horticulture specialise in the cultivation of high value crops such as vegetables, fruits and flowers, solely for the urban markets. Farms are small and are located where there are good transportation links with the urban centre where high income group of consumers is located. It is both labour and capital intensive and lays emphasis on the use of irrigation, HYV seeds, fertilisers, insecticides, greenhouses and artificial heating in colder regions.
This type of agriculture is well developed in densely populated industrial districts of north west Europe, north eastern United States of America and the Mediterranean regions. The Netherlands specialises in growing flowers and horticultural crops especially tulips, which are flown to all major cities of Europe.
The regions where farmers specialise in vegetables only, the farming is know as truck farming. The distance of truck farms from the market is governed by the distance that a truck can cover overnight, hence the name truck farming.
In addition to market gardening, a modern development in the industrial regions of Western Europe and North America is factory farming. Livestock, particularly poultry and cattle rearing is done in stalls and pens, fed on manufactured feedstuff and carefully supervised against diseases. This requires heavy capital investment in terms of building, machinery for various operations, veterinary services and heating and lighting. One of the important features of poultry farming and cattle rearing is breed selection and scientific breeding.

Read the given passage carefully and answer the following question.
An important aspect of population growth in India is the growth of its adolescents. At present, the share of adolescents i.e., up to the age group of 10-19 years is about 20.9 per cent (2011), among which male adolescents constitute 52.7 per cent and female adolescents constitute 47.3 per cent. The adolescent population, though, regarded as the youthful population having high potentials, but at the same time they are quite vulnerable if not guided and channelised properly. There are many challenges for the society as far as these adolescents are concerned, some of which are lower age at marriage, illiteracy - particularly female illiteracy, school dropouts, low intake of nutrients, high rate of maternal mortality of adolescent mothers, high rate of HIV and AIDS infections, physical and mental disability or retardedness, drug abuse and alcoholism, juvenile delinquency and commitence of crimes, etc.
In view of these, the Government of Indra has undertaken certain policies to impart proper education to the adolescent groups so that their talents are better channelised and properly utilised. The National Youth Policy is one example which has been designed to look into the overall development of our large youth and adolescent population.
The National Youth Policy (NYP-2014) launched in February 2014 proposes a holistic 'vision' for the youth of Indra, which is "To empower the youth of the country to achieve their full potential, and through them enable India to find its rightful place in the community of nations". The NYP-2014 has defined 'youth as persons in the age group of 15-29 years.

In a colloidal state the particle size of the dispersed phase range between 10³ to 10⁶ pm and colloidal sol is heterogenous in nature. Based on the nature of interaction between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium colloidal sol are classified as lyophilic and lyophobic. Stability of sol is due to presence of charge on the sol particles and the neutralisation of the same is known as coagulation or precipitation. Based on this answer the following.

Certain Aldehydes, Retore and certain alcohol undergo iodoform test. Certain Aldehydes ketones undergo aldol condensation. While certain aldehydes undergo Cannizaro's reaction. Aldehydes responds to tollen reagent and fehling reagent test.

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
Lakes are freshwater ecosystems that may be natural or more frequently, artificially created by the construction of dams and tanks. Damming rivers alters a flowing water ecosystem to a still water ecosystem. This is usually developed for irrigation, or for water storage for urban or industrial use and hydroelectric power generation. There are several types of lakes - oligotrophic, dystrophic, eutrophic, endemic, volcanic, meromictic and artificial. Their biodiversity includes algae, which derives energy from the sun. This is transferred to microscopic animals which feed on the algae. Herbivorous fish, which in turn are preyed upon by larger carnivorous fish. Some specialised fish, such as catfish, feed on the detritus on the muddy bed of the lake; they are called bottom feeders or bottom dwellers. Fisherfolk depend heavily on this freshwater ecosystem, and farmers use it for water for their fields.
Sunlight penetrates the water surface of shallow parts of a lake ecosystem used by the aquatic plants. From the aquatic plants, energy is transferred to herbivorous animals and carnivores that live in water. These animals excrete waste products, which settle at the bottom of the lake and are broken down by small animals such as molluscs and worms that live in the mud in the lake bed. This acts as the nutrient material used by aquatic plants for their growth. During this process plants use carbon from CO2 for their growth and release oxygen. This oxygen is then used by aquatic animals, which filter water through their respiratory system.

Acid rain could be in form of rain, snow or mist acid rain occurring in a place could be caused by emission from for away. Industrial operations and fossil fuel combustions are the way as sources of acid forming gases. Since the advent of industrial revolution, human activities have been releasing such pollutants in large quantities. When soil is acidified it loses its productivity, which heads to damage plant roots. Thousand of lakes in Sweden, Norway have been permanently affected by acid. The Taj Mahal was also threatened by acid rain caused by factories in Agra, Acid neutralization is one way of reducing acidity. However reduction in emission is the best way to solve the problem.
