(i) In case, capitals are fixed: 

(a) On credit side of capital 

(b) on debit side of current A/c 

(c) on debit side of capital A/c 

(d) on credit side of current A/c 

C is correct because in the absence of Partnership deed the profits are to be shared equally. 

In the absence of a partnership deed, the provisions of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, apply. According to the Act, if there is no agreement regarding the interest on capital contributed by the partners, then no interest on capital is allowed to any of the partners. Therefore, in this situation, Jagmohan’s view of allowing interest on capital at 6% p.a. is not acceptable, and Ramesh must have convinced him stating the provisions contained in the Partnership Act, 1932.

a. P is bound to pay Rs.20,000 along with profit of Rs.5,000 to the firm because this amount belongs to the firm. 

Explanation: According to the principal and agent relationship, P is principal as well as agent to the firm and to Q and R. As per the rule, any profit earned by an agent (P) by using the firm’s property is attributable to the firm. 

b. Q is liable to pay Rs.5,000 to the firm. According to the Partnership Act, every partner of a partnership firm is liable to the firm for any loss caused by his/her wilful negligence. 

Explanation: Here, Q is solely responsible for the loss of Rs.1,000 because he used the property of the firm and also represented himself as a principal rather than an agent to the other partners and to the firm. 

c. P and Q may buy goods from A Ltd. 

Explanation: According to the Partnership Act, a partner has a right to buy and sell goods without consulting the other partners unless a Public Notice has been given by the partnership firm to restrict the partners to buy and sell. 

d. C will not be admitted because one of the partners, P, has not agreed to admit C. Explanation: According to the Partnership Act, a new partner cannot be admitted into a firm unless all the existing partners agree on the same decision. In other words, a new partner can be admitted in a partnership firm with the consent of all the existing partners.

In the absence of a partnership deed, the provisions of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, apply. According to the Act, if there is no agreement regarding the ratio in which profits are to be shared, then profits (or losses) are to be shared equally among all the partners. Therefore, in this situation, Jaspal’s view of distribution of profits in the capital ratio is not acceptable, and Rosy must have convinced her stating the provisions contained in the Partnership Act, 1932.

Pi was just two feet above Richard Parker. He moved the yellow tarpaulin. Thirst egged him on to unroll the tight tarpaulin. He saw the bow and it had an end bench. Upon it, a harp glittered like a diamond. He found a lid shaped like a rounded-out triangle. He found a pile of orange life jackets. He undid the harp and opened the lid. It opened on to a locker. The open locker shined with new things. He found water cans piled up.

The presence of Richard Parker had intimidated the hyena to such an extent that he hid himself behind the Zebra. So, Pi wasn’t afraid of the hyena.

Hitting the lid against the tarpaulin hook, Pi opened the water can and started drinking. To the gurgling beat of his greedy throat, pure delicious, beautiful, crystalline water flowed into his system. It was liquid life. He drained that golden cup to the very last drop sucking at the hole to catch any remaining moisture.

Parker kept Pi from thinking too much about his family and his tragic circumstances. He pushed him on to go on living. It was Richard Parker who pushed him to go on living.

It was unnatural of 450 pound heavy tiger to lie quietly for two and half days unnoticed by Pi in the lower deck of the boat. It was suffering from sea sickness and sedation. Pi’s father had sedated it early to lessen the stress of sea voyage on the animal. That is why it behaved unnaturally.

A part of Pi was glad about Richard Parker. A part of Pi did not want Richard Parker to die because if he died, Pi would be left alone to deal with despair, a foe is much more formidable than a tiger. So, he wanted to tame Richard Parker.

Pi was alone and orphaned. He was drifting in the middle of pacific ocean hanging on to the oar. An adult tiger was in front of him. Sharks were beneath his boat. A storm was raging about him.

The elements of nature which threatened his survival the previous night had calmed down. The life boat did not sink. The shark prowled but did not attack. The waves did not pull him off. Thus Richard Parker’s survival seemed incredible.

Richard Parker was a Bengal tiger. It stayed in the same boat. Each was cautious of the other.

Aligarh Muslim University was founded in 1920 A.D. Actually it was Mohammadan Anglo Oriental College founded by Sir Sayyed Ahmad Khan which later on converted into university.

स्पीति एक क्षेत्र जो इतिहास से अलग है। स्पीति एक क्षेत्र जो चारों ओर से पहाड़ों से घिरा है। स्पीति संचार की कमी के कारण यहाँ जनजीवन कठिनाइयों में है। परंतु अब कुछ सुधार के कारण ‘वायरलेस सेट’ के जरिए केलंग और काजा के बीच संबंध रहता है। स्पीति क्षेत्र प्रायः स्वायत्त रहा है चाहे कोई भी राजा रहा हो। इसका कारण यहाँ का भूगोल है।

भूगोल ही इसकी रक्षा तथा संहार करता है। स्पीति में जब बाह्य आक्रमण होता है तब वे लोग अप्रतिकार का तरीका अपनाते है। अप्रतिकार मतलब ये लोग उससे लड़ते नहीं है। वे चाँग्मा का तना पकड़कर या एक-दूसरे को पकड़कर आँख मींचकर बैठ जाते हैं। जब आक्रमणकारी या संकट गुजर जाता है तो वे उठकर वापस आ जाते हैं। स्पीति के लोग अप्रतिकार के सहारे अपनी सुरक्षा करते हैं।

1. Lot of money was required to marry the girl child.
2. It was very difficult to find a suitable match for a girl.

स्पीति में जनसंख्या न के बराबर है इसका कारण स्पीति में होनेवाली कठिनाइयाँ। स्पीति का जीवन बहुत कठिन है। स्पीति में केवल ऊँचे-ऊँचे पहाड़े हैं। स्पीति चारों ओर से पहाड़ों से घिरा हुआ है। स्पीति में केवल दो ही ऋतुएँ होती है। जून से सितंबर तक अल्पकालिक बसंत ऋतु तथा शेष वर्ष शीत ऋतु होती है।

दिसंबर से मई तक बर्फ रहती है। स्पीति में लंबी शीत ऋतु ही होती है। आठ-नौ महीने यह क्षेत्र शेष विश्व से कटा रहता है। शीत ऋतु के कारण यहाँ जलाने के लिए लकड़ी भी नहीं होती। लोग ठंड से ठिठुरते रहते हैं। स्पीति में जादा पहाड़ों की वजह यहाँ न ज्यादा पेड़ हैं, ना ज्यादा हरियाली है। स्पीति एक वीरान जगह है इसलिए यहाँ खेती भी ज्यादा नहीं की जाती।

यहाँ साल में एक ही फसल उगा सकते हैं। जौ, गेहूँ, मटर व सरसों के अलावा दूसरी फसल नहीं हो सकती। स्पीति में किसी प्रकार का फल व सब्जियाँ पैदा नहीं होती है। यहाँ रोजगार के साधन नहीं हैं। स्पीति में, ज्यादातर जमीन खेती योग्य है, परंतु सिंचाई के साधन विकसित नहीं हैं। अतः यहाँ के लोग अत्यंत जटिल परिस्थिति में रहते हैं।

Brahmins were greatly respected in the caste based society but the condition of lower castes was very pitiable. They were misbehaved by every one. They were not allowed to keep social relations with the people of upper castes. They were not allowed to use public wells or ponds. They were neither allowed to enter the temples nor they had the permission to read religious books or Vedas. They were considered untouchables. If even shadow of any one of lower caste was coming in the way of any higher caste person, then the person was severely punished. They were forced to adopt the occupation of cleaning, picking up dead animals, taking out their skin, making shoes and leather etc. So, to save these people from the atrocities of society, caste system was victimised by the social reformers.

The meaning of untouchability is to consider touching any person as a .sin. One of the major group of society, was considered as untouchable. The condition of these people was very pitiable.

1. According to Mahatma Gandhi, untouchability is a sin. In 1920 A.D., Non- Cooperation Movement was started, against the British government, under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. Elimination of untouchability from the society was also included in the guidelining programme of this movement. One Sammelan of people of scheduled castes was held at Nagpur in 1920 A.D. Mahatma Gandhi criticised untouchability in this Sammelan. He was of the view at that concept of untouchability among Hindus is the largest sin of India. But Mahatma Gandhi was hurt by the fact that not enough steps were taken by the Congress in Non-Cooperation Movement for the elimination of untouchability from society. That’s why, Non-Cooperation Movement was not supported by the people of scheduled castes. According to them, the British rule was much better than Hindu-Swaraj.

2. When Non-Cooperation Movement was stopped in its half way, then Mahatma Gandhi ordered the Congress organization that they should organize people of scheduled castes for their interests and they should take some steps to improve social, mental and moral condition of these people. They should be provided all such facilities which are already available for other people.

3. The Congress kept 49.5 lakh rupees for the welfare programmes of scheduled castes from 1921 to 1923 A.D. but only 43,881 rupees were spent on them. Yet people of scheduled castes didn’t participate in the Non-Cooperation movement started by Mahatma Gandhi but still Mahatma Gandhi did a lot for the welfare of these people.
