medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
Advice /ədˈvɑɪs/ is a noun and means a suggestion about what someone should do. It is uncountable;
Let me give you some advice: stay away from Margaret.
Not: Let me give you an advice
She gave him a lot of advice, but I don’t think he listened.
Not: …a lot of advices …
If we want to use advice in a countable way, then we use the phrase a piece of advice:
I have two pieces of advice for you about the holiday.
We use the verb advise /ədˈvɑɪz/ to mean ‘to give someone advice’:
I strongly advise you to lose weight.
They finally did what we advised.

A
rural poverty is a disease
B
the poor have no hope
C

Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The passage describes the dire situation of the poor in developing countries, emphasizing that:
They lack employment opportunities in both rural and urban areas.
Many own little or no land and have no prospects of improving their conditions.
Rural unemployment forces them into cities, but cities also offer no work or housing.
Their best option is even low-productivity work, just to survive.
This suggests that the poor are trapped in a cycle of poverty with little to no hope of escape.

Solution
What is the point made by the writer about solving the problem of unemployment in developing countries?
A
Use appropriate intermediate technology
B
A few people should produce a great deal
C
Stop migration to cities
D
Create more work places
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The writer argues that the key to solving unemployment in developing countries is:
Creating millions of workplaces in rural areas and small towns.
These workplaces cannot be created through high-tech, high-output methods that employ only a few people.
Instead, the writer insists that this goal can only be achieved by using an appropriate technology (often meaning intermediate or labour-intensive technology) that maximises employment opportunities.
Therefore, the writer’s main point is not merely to create workplaces, but how to create them through appropriate technology that allows more people to work.

Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
(a) Whenever there is a change in the magnetic flux linked with a circuit an electromotive force is induced, the strength of which is proportional to the rate of change of the flux linked with the circuit. Lenz's law states that the direction of the induced current is always such as to oppose the charge producing it.
(b) Lenz's law illustrates the law of conservation of energy. In this case mechanical energy i.e kinetic energy, due to the motion of the bar magnet is changed to electrical energy in the form of induced current.
(c)
A simple d.c. electric motor can supply direct current (d.c.) by using a split - ring commutator.The brush (-) touches one half of the split ring X while the other brush (+) touches the other half Y. As the coil rotates it cuts through the magnetic flux linking the magnets and current is induced which flows through the coil as shown in the diagram. As the coil rotates past the vertical Y moves round to touch (-) while X moves round to touch (+). This action reverses the connections to the external resistance connected to (-) and (+). The reverse happens when the current is just zero (coil vertical) so instead of the current reversing in the external resistance, it continues to flow in the same direction.
c(ii) (1) Part of the current is wasted in form of heat due to the resistance of the coil and this reduces efficiency;
(2) Friction between the moveable parts of the motor makes the efficiency to reduce.
