Section 'B' Writing

Ans. 3. As you sow, so shall you reap
One is rewarded or punished in one's life according to what one Your actions do return to you. The theory
of Karma is spoken a many of the sacred texts of all the religions in the world and is imp' the Golden Rule:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto The implication : as you treat others, so you will be
treated. karma is
inescapable. Your actions will return in some way or the other. Youth is a period to cultivate good habits
so as to reap good rewards later on. This world consists of both good and evil, noble and ignoble,
constructive and destructive powers. If God is there to guide noble souls, the devil is not for behind to
encourage the evil spirits.
It is helpful to look at Karma as a sort of credit card. Each time we do something in our life motivated by
love, we are 'paying off some of the karmic debt we have built up over time. Each time we act in a selfish
way, we are charging something else to our credit card. The goal is not to have a credit due to us because
in doing so it would mean that someone, some where still owed some debt. The goal is to get our balance
to zero.
We must do good to others to enjoy the benefits of our deeds at the later stage of our life. It is a hard fact
of life that one cannot escape the consequences of his actions good or bad.

Ans.4 I live in Shahpur, a small village near Haridwar. It rained very heavily this year. It was the month of July. It
continued raining for seven days. The river Ganga crossed the danger-mark. The water over flowed the
shores. The rain water from the hills made the situation worse. There was water all around. The crops
were damaged completely as the strong current of the river hit them hard. The current was so strong that
it took many people and cattle with it. Many houses fell down to the ground. People were seen sailing on
the straw-thatches in the current. Houses, shops, schools, fields everything drowned into the water.

 People were seen on the roofs of their houses. The administration came to the rescue the victims of flood.
Helicopters took flights from the aerodrome of Air Force and dropped bags of sugar, tea, milk, water etc.
When the situation subsided, the people were given gas cylinder and kerosene oil for cooking. The flood

a huge loss of lives and property.

recovery. Then I rushed to school. When I reached there, the show had started and the time of my item

1. Let the length of a rectangle be l unit. Then, length × breadth = area of rectangle
 l × 2xy = 6x2y + 4y2x

2xy(3x  2y )
 l=

 l = (3x + 2y) unit

Hence, perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)
