Practice Paper
Read carefully the passage given below and then answer the questions that follow:
My son Bill, aged fourteen, wanted to leave home. He said he was sick and tired of the needless
incompetence and lack of imagination with which his mother and I ran the house. He added that, if we
were not so lazy and old-fashioned, the house could be a different place in a fortnightly, and really worth
living in. It was a question of youth and energy.
One evening he was going on in this style, polishing off the fruit cake (his fourth slice), while his mother
was getting ready to wash up.
‘Leave that to me’, he said, not very politely, and strode across to the sink. ‘You take ever so long. A little
intelligent planning would sort things out in ten minutes.’
I said to my wife: “Your inefficiency has been discovered by your son. Caroline, therefore, I suggest that
you let him get on with the dishes.” This tongue-in-cheek remark was reciprocated by my wife’s quick
assent and we both went to watch a show on T.V.
Five minutes later Caroline returned to the kitchen for a glass of water. Hearing raised voices from that
quarter, I followed her to see what was up.
In his eagerness for hygiene, Bill had scalded two heat-resistant plates and then immediately plunged them
into a basin of cold water to rinse them. As I took the broken pieces from the basin to the dustbin, I
explained to him the difference between ‘heat-resistant’ and ‘heat-proof.’
A little later, I noticed a thin trickle of water coming out from beneath the kitchen door. I looked in. Bill was
not there, the cold tap was on, and the sink was full of water and dishes and cups. But it was more than
full. Bill had left the plug in, and the water was overflowing down the front of the sink and across the floor
to the hallway.
Having turned the tap off and pulled the plug out, I began to mop up the water on the floor. Bill
reappeared. He asked if anything was wrong. It seems that he had left the dishes and the cups under the
cold water tap for a few minutes, so that they would be free of soapy water when he dried them. He was
unaware that he had left the plug in the sink, and had gone away and forgotten the lot. Seeing me mop the
floor, he remarked that it was the dishes that needed washing up not the floor!
Bill has decided not to leave home. He has promised to stay with us for a little while yet. He says he’s afraid
we wouldn’t manage at all without his help.

Remainder Theorem
If f (x), a polynomial in x, is divided by (x – a); the remainder is equal to f (a)
For example:
▪ If f (x) is divided by (x – 3), the remainder is f (3)
▪ If f (x) is divided by (x + 3), the remainder is f (-3)
Steps for finding the remainder:
▪ Find the remainder when the polynomial f (x) = x2 – 8x + 4 is divided by (x – 1)
Step 1: Equate the divisor to zero and solve the equation so obtained to get the value of the variable.
Here (x – 1) is the divisor. Equating x − 1 = 0, we get x = 1.
Step 2: Substitute the value of the variable obtained in step 1, in the given polynomial and simplify it to get
the required remainder.
Remainder = f (1) = (1)2(1)2 – 8 (1) + 4 = –3
When a polynomial f (x) is divided by (x – a), the remainder is equal to f (a). If the remainder f (a) is equal to
0, then (x – a) is a factor of the polynomial f(x).
Similarly f (5) = 25 – 35 + 10 = 0
so (x – 5) is another factor of the given polynomial
∴f (x) = x2 – 7x + 10 = (x – 2) (x – 5)

Causes of Revolt
Military Causes:
Several factors contributed to a change in the attitude of the Indian soldiers toward the Company.
1. The Indian and British soldiers were not treated equally. The salary was too meager to support their
families, while the duties of both the British and the Indian soldiers were more or less similar.
2. The Indian soldiers could only rise to the position of Subedar.
3. According to the General Service Enlistment Act of 1856, Indian soldiers could be sent overseas on
duty. Indian soldiers dreaded sea voyage and considered it against their customs.
4. Numerical strength of the Indian soldiers which was much higher than the number of the European
soldiers which gave courage to them to fight against the British.
5. Indians were of the belief that, the British were invincible, but the British were beaten in the First
Afghan War (1838–42). This made the Indian soldiers feel that if the Afghans could defeat the
British, why couldn’t they.
Economic Causes:
1. The resources from India were exploited for the good of the British people and growth of
industries in Britain. Raw materials were exported and finished goods were imported. It ruined
the Indian industries and handicrafts.
2. Indian handicraft slowly died. Machine-made British cloth was cheaper. Therefore, the looms at
homes were shut.
3. People moved to cities to find employment, which was very difficult to get. Peasants were forced
to pay tax in cash, which pushed them into the hands of the moneylenders, as tax was collected
even during the famines.
4. Indigo, tea, jute, cotton and opium were crops which the British wanted the Indians to grow. If
the peasants planted anything else, their crops were destroyed. Thus, there was less food,
people suffered through the ever increasing and spreading famine.
5. The Inam Commission, appointed in 1852 in Bombay, confiscation as many as 20,000 estates.
This drove the landed aristocracy to poverty without benefitting the peasantry, which suffered
due to the exorbitant land revenue. It was claimed by the merchant, moneylenders and the new
owners of these estates.
6. Annexation of native states resulted in loss of jobs of millions of people attached to the royal
courts. The British also disbanded the Army of the Nawabs. Soldiers who lost their jobs became
bitter enemies of the British.
Causes of Failure
1. The Indians had no common defined goal e g. Rani Laxmibai fought for Jhansi and Nana
Saheb fought as he had been refused pension.
2. The efforts were not planned and well co-ordinated.
3. Only a few Indian leaders helped each other. One such incident was that of Tantya Tope who
went to help Rani Jhansi in trouble while the British were always helping each other.
4. The British had experienced military Generals like General Havelock, General Colin Campbell.
Indian leaders were brave but few were expert in military planning.
5. The British had the latest guns and ammunition and money to finance their efforts, while the
Indians did not have enough guns and hardly any money to finance them.
Rise of Nationalism
Though the rebellions were short-lived, it enthused the youth as the youth wanted to emulate or
copy the leaders of the First War of Independence. Many leaders of the rebellion became the subject of
many poems and songs which were very popular. Their sacrifices inspired others to sacrifices and the seed
of nationalism was sown by this event.
This vegetation type is found in areas where rainfall ranges between 100 cm and 200 cm annually.
Rainfall is seasonal alternating with dry summers. The temperature requires ranges between 25°C and 27°C
with relative humidity between 60% and 80%.
Characteristic Features
The chief characteristic feature is that the dominant trees are deciduous, that is, they shed their
leaves 6 to 8 weeks during summers due to water shortage. Subsoil water is not enough for these trees
and leaves are shed to minimize the need for water. The trees reach a height between 30 m and 45m and
their bark is rough and fissured.
Species of Trees
The dominant species are teak, sal, sandalwood, semul, myrobalan, arjun, Andaman padauk,
mahua, palash, dhaank, amla and jamun.
Teak: The wood is durable, contains oils and resins that protect it from moisture. The wood does not
shrink, is termite resistant and non-corrosive. It is thus excellent for making furniture, ships and boats,
railway sleepers and bridges.
Sal: The wood is very hard, heavy and tough, extremely durable and immune from attacks of white ants. It
is used for making railway sleepers, beams and rafters, door and window posts and tool handles.
Sandalwood: The wood is hard and strongly scented and is used for making boxes, decoration pieces and
carvings. The wood provides perfumed sandalwood oil and the base for perfumes, traditional medicines
and cosmetics.
Myrobalan: The pulp of the fruit is used as a remedy for diarrhoea. The fruit provides material for dyeing
and tanning.
Semul: The timber is soft and white and is used for making toys and packing cases. The oil is used for soap
making.
Mahua: Oil extracted from the fruit has medicinal properties. A local brew called mahua is distilled from
the flowers.
Distribution
These forests are distributed in a narrow belt along the Himalayan foothills, on the eastern side of the
Western Ghats, Chotanagpur Plateau, moist areas of Kerala, Karnataka, southern Madhya Pradesh,
Chattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Bihar and Uttarakhand.
These forests evolve where annual rainfall is less than 25 cm. The rainy season is short, the amount
of rainfall is scanty and very little moisture is held in the soil. Temperature ranges between 25°C and 27°C,
with low relative humidity throughout the
year.
Characteristic Features
Species of Trees
Some of the most valuable plant species found in these forests include babul, kikar, khair, khejri,
neem, wild date palm and coarse grasses.
Babul: This is an extremely valuable tree that yields timber, fuel, fodder and tannin. The gum of the tree
has immense medicinal value.
Kikar: This is used for treating cancer, cough and sore throat, liver and spleen problems. It provides timber
for construction and furniture making. Its leaves are used as fodder.
Khair: Katha is obtained from the heartwood of khair trees. It is used for dyeing fishing nets, as a boiler
compound.
Distribution
Tropical desert or dry forests are distributed in western Rajasthan, parts of Maharashtra, Kachchh
region of Gujarat, south western Punjab and the rain shadow region of the Deccan Plateau.
The mangrove biome is a distinct saline woodland habitat characterized by depositional coastal
environment, where fine sediments (rich in organic matter) collect in areas protected from high energy
wave action. Climatic Conditions
Mangrove vegetation grows only in the tropics. The daytime temperature requirement is generally
24°C and annual rainfall ranges between 150 cm
and 200 cm.
Characteristic Features
Species of Trees
Sundari: It is used mainly for boat building, manufacture of hard board, furniture. It also has medicinal
value. The wood is strong, durable and water resistant.
Keora: This tree is also known as Screw Pine or Pandanus. A fragrant essence is distilled from the flowers
and is used in the making of keora water.
Nypafruticans: The leaves are used for thatching and basketry. Ethanol, a biofuel, is manufactured by
fermenting the sugar-rich sap.
Distribution
The Sundarbans in West Bengal have the largest mangroves in the Ganga delta region. Apparently
the forest has got its name from the Sundari tree which means 'beautiful'. Tidal forests also occur along the
deltas of the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri, and the Andaman and Nicobar coast.
Importance of Mangroves
Protects the shore from erosion caused by wind, water and waves, Protects coral reefs, Supplies
wood and other forest products, habitat to various types of organisms supports coastal fisheries and
related sources of livelihood
Distribution
In India, there are two distinct zones of montane vegetation The Himalayan region in the North and
The Nilgiris, Palni and Anaimalai Hills in Peninsular India.
Tropical monsoon deciduous forests of sal, teak bamboo and cane grow abundantly in the foothill
zone. Between 1,000 m and 2,000 m altitude, the wet
temperate belts consisting of oak, birch and chestnut are
found. Between 2000 m and 3000 m altitude, moist
temperate forests are found. In this belt, oak, laurel and
chestnut are found mixed with coniferous trees such as
pine, cedar, silver fir, spruce and deodar. In the upper part
of this zone lies the belt of coniferous trees in pure stands
for eg, Chir pine, blue pine and spruce. Between 2,900 m
and 3,500 m, alpine forests of stunted juniper and fir,
rhododendron and birch are found.
The slopes are covered with subtropical broadleaf hill forests in which evergreen species dominate.
Such forests are called shola' in South India, for example, laurel, giant tree fern, Rhododendron arboreum
and the kurinji plant. Extensive areas have been planted with eucalyptus, wattle and pines during the
colonial period.
Species of Trees
Deodar: The wood is hard, oily and durable. Used in construction of houses and making support beams,
furniture etc
Cedar: The wood is decay-resistant, light weight and durable. The wood is fire resistant and immune to
termite attacks.
Spruce: The wood is used to make furniture, light- weight aircraft and pulpwood for manufacture of paper.
Blue pine: The wood is pink in colour and is moderately hard. Used for making railway sleepers.
Chir: The wood is moderately hard and used to extract resin and turpentine. The timber is used for making
tea chests.
Silver fir: The timber is soft but not durable. Mostly used for making packing boxes, wood pulp, paper and
matchstick.
Oak: The wood is used for manufacturing sports goods.
Bamboo: The wood is used for making scaffoldings, thatched roofs, temporary bridges and rafters.
The National Forest Policy 1952 classified the forests of the country into four categories:
(i) Protected forests essential for physical and climatic needs.
(ii) National forests to be utilized for the economic needs of the country.
(iii) Village forests to meet the fuel and domestic needs of villages and neighboring towns.
(iv) Tree lands: The policy envisaged the annual organization of Van-Mahotsava and tree plantation week
in the month of July/August.
(i) Weaning the tribal people by persuasion to desist from shifting cultivation.
(ii) Implementation of forest laws more effectively.
(iii) To provide i equate facilities for the management of forest resources.
(iv) To control grazing of cattle, sheep and goats in forest areas.
(v) Providing fuel-wood to rural areas.
(vi) To improve the availability of timber wood for industrial purposes.
(vii) To increase the area under social forestry.

(i) Steps to create massive movement of people with the involvement of women folk to achieve
these objectives and to minimize pressure on existing forests.
(j) Involvement of people in forest management under joint forest management.
FOREST CONSERVATION
The utility of forests, their social relevance and climatic importance have been discussed in the
preceding paragraphs. The conservation of forest resources is imperative for our survival. Some of the
steps which can go a long way in making forests healthy and sustainable are as under:
(i) Afforestation: There should be massive afforestation programmes with main emphasis being on
the production of fuel-wood, timber, grasses, and small trees to cover up degraded and
denuded lands.
(ii) Plantation of trees along the roads, railway lines, rivers, and canal banks, and along lakes and
ponds.
(iii) Development of Green-belts in the urban areas and plantation of trees on community lands.
(iv) Plantation of community forests on Gram-Sabha lands.
(v) Villagers should be given loans at easy interest rates to revive degraded forest.
(vi) Encroachment of agriculture in forests should be made punishable.
(vii) The customary rights and concessions like grazing, collection of fuel-wood and fodder from
forests by the local people should not be allowed to exceed the carrying capacity of the forests.
(viii) Rural population should be provided alternate sources of fuel-wood and wood-based products.
(ix) The development projects including mining and industrial activities should be so planned to
cause minimum damage to forest ecosystems.
(x) Mining contracts should have an obligatory clause of reforestation when the process of mining
is over.
(xi) Industries should adopt anti-pollution devices and must develop and compensate the forest loss
by new plantation.
(xii) Tribal and local people should be directly involved in the protection, regeneration, and
management of forests.
(xiii) Shifting cultivation should be gradually replaced by terraced farming and orchards development
and silviculture.
10 Geography set 7 page 8
(xiv) Scientific methods should be adopted to check and contain forest fires. There should be strict
control in issuing license for the establishment of industries in forest areas
(xv) There should be more research on forestry in agricultural universities, for which facilities and
funds should be provided by the Central and State governments. Forestry should be made an
important part of the course structures in schools, colleges and universities.
(xvi) There should be arrangements to protect the forests from pests and diseases for which
trimming and spraying of the trees should be a regular practice.
(xvii) There should be perfect co-ordination between the forest department and other departments
of the government for effective and judicious utilization of forests and their conservation.
(xviii) People should be encouraged to participate in the Van Mahotsav and should be made aware
about the Chipko Movement.

While Call by Reference means calling a method with a parameter as a reference. Through this, the argument
reference is passed to the parameter.
In call by value, the modification done to the parameter passed does not reflect in the caller's scope while in
the call by reference, the modification done to the parameter passed are persistent and changes are reflected
in the caller's scope.
The following program shows an example of passing a parameter by value. The values of the arguments
remain the same even after the method invocation.
Output
This will produce the following result −
1
Example - Call By Reference
Java uses only call by value while passing reference variables as well. It creates a copy of references and
passes them as value to the methods. As reference points to the same address of the object, creating a copy
of reference is of no harm. But if a new object is assigned to reference it will not be reflected.

Java if statement
The if statement has the following general form:
if (expression) {
statement; }
The if keyword is used to check if an expression is true. If it is true, a statement is then executed. The
statement can be a single statement or a compound statement. A compound statement consists of multiple
statements enclosed by a block. A block is code enclosed by curly brackets. The brackets are optional if we
have only one statement in the body.
import java.util.Random;
public class IfStatement {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Random r = new Random(); int num = r.nextInt();
if (num > 0) {
System.out.println("The number is positive"); } }}
A random number is generated. If the number is greater than zero, we print a message to the terminal.
Random r = new Random(); int num = r.nextInt();
These two lines generate a random integer. The number can be positive or negative.
if (num > 0) {
System.out.println("The number is positive"); }
Using the if keyword, we check if the generated number is greater than zero. The if keyword is followed by
a pair of round brackets. Inside the brackets, we place an expression. The expression results in a boolean
value. If the boolean value is true, then the block enclosed by two curly brackets is executed. In our case,
4
the string "The number is positive" is printed to the terminal. If the random value is negative, nothing is
done. The curly brackets are optional if we have only one expression.
Java else keyword
We can use the else keyword to create a simple branch. If the expression inside the parentheses following
the if keyword evaluates to false, the statement following the else keyword is automatically executed.
import java.util.Random;
public class Branch {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Random r = new Random(); int num = r.nextInt();
if (num > 0) {
System.out.println("The number is positive");
} else {
System.out.println("The number is negative"); } }}
Either the block following the if keyword or the block following the else keyword is executed.
if (num > 0) {
System.out.println("The number is positive");
} else {
System.out.println("The number is negative"); }
The else keyword follows the right curly bracket of the if block. It has its own block enclosed by a pair of
curly brackets.
$ java The number is positive $ java The number is negative $ java The number is negative
import java.util.Scanner;
public class MultipleBranches {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.print("Enter an integer:");
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); int num = sc.nextInt();
if (num < 0) {
System.out.println("The integer is negative"); } else if (num == 0) {
System.out.println("The integer equals to zero"); } else {
System.out.println("The integer is positive"); } }}
We receive a value from the user to test if it is a negative number or positive, or if it equals to zero.
System.out.print("Enter an integer:");
Using the Scanner class of the java.util package, we read an integer value from the standard input.
if (num < 0) {
System.out.println("The integer is negative"); } else if (num == 0) {
System.out.println("The integer equals to zero"); } else {
System.out.println("The integer is positive"); }
5
If the first condition evaluates to true, e.g. the entered value is less than zero, the first block is executed and
the remaining two blocks are skipped. If the first condition is not met, then the second condition following
the if else keywords is checked. If the second condition evaluates to true, the second block is executed. If
not, the third block following the else keyword is executed. The else block is always executed if the
previous conditions were not met.
$ java Enter an integer:4 The integer is positive $ java Enter an integer:0 The integer equals to zero $ java
Enter an integer:-3 The integer is negative
We run the example three times so that all conditions are tested. The zero is correctly handled.
Java switch statement
The switch statement is a selection control flow statement. It allows the value of a variable or expression to
control the flow of a program execution via a multi-way branch. It creates multiple branches in a simpler
way than using the combination of if and else if statements. Each branch is ended with the break keyword.
We use a variable or an expression. The switch keyword is used to test a value from the variable or the
expression against a list of values. The list of values is presented with the case keyword. If the values
match, the statement following the case is executed. There is an optional default statement. It is executed if
no other match is found.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class SwitchStatement {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.print("Enter a domain:");
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); String domain = sc.nextLine();
domain = domain.trim().toLowerCase();
switch (domain) {
case "us": System.out.println("United States"); break;
case "de": System.out.println("Germany"); break;
case "sk": System.out.println("Slovakia"); break;
The user is requested to enter a domain name. The domain name is read and stored in a variable. The
variable is tested with the switch keyword against a list of options. In our program, we have a domain
variable. We read a value for the variable from the command line. We use the case statement to test for the
value of the variable. There are several options. If the value equals for example to "us", the "United States"
string is printed to the console.
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); String domain = sc.nextLine();
The trim() method strips the variable from potential leading and trailing white spaces. The toLowerCase()
converts the characters to lowercase. Now the "us", "US", or "us " are viable options for the us domain
name.
switch (domain) { ... }
In the round brackets, the switch keyword takes an input which is going to be tested. The input can be of
byte, short, char, int, enum, or String data type. The body of the switch keyword is placed inside a pair or
curly brackets. Inside the body, we can place multiple case options. Each option is ended with the break
keyword.
6
case "us": System.out.println("United States"); break;
In this case option, we test if the domain variable is equal to "us" string. If true, we print a message to the
console. The option is ended with the break keyword. If one of the options is successfully evaluated, the
break keyword terminates the switch block.
default: System.out.println("Unknown"); break;
The default keyword is optional. If none of the case options is evaluated, then the default section is
executed.
$ java Enter a domain:us United States
The while keyword executes the statements inside the block enclosed by the curly brackets. The
statements are executed each time the expression is evaluated to true.
In the code example, we calculate the sum of values from a range of numbers.
The while loop has three parts: initialization, testing, and updating. Each execution of the statement is
called a cycle.
int i = 0;
The expression inside the round brackets following the while keyword is the second phase, the testing. The
statements in the body are executed until the expression is evaluated to false.
i++;
The last phase of the while loop is the updating. We increment the counter. Note that improper handling of
the while loops may lead to endless cycles.
$ java 55
First the block is executed and then the truth expression is evaluated. In our case, the condition is not met
and the do while statement terminates.
Java for statement
When the number of cycles is known before the loop is initiated, we can use the for statement. In this
construct we declare a counter variable, which is automatically increased or decreased in value during
each repetition of the loop.
There are three phases in a for loop. First, we initiate the counter i to zero. This phase is done only once.
Next comes the condition. If the condition is met, the statement inside the for block is executed. Then
comes the third phase: the counter is increased. Now we repeat 2 and 3 phases until the condition is not
met and the for loop is terminated. In our case, when the counter i is equal to 10, the for loop stops
executing.
A for loop can be used for easy traversal of an array. From the length property of the array, we know the
size of the array.
We have an array holding the names of planets in our Solar System. Using two for loops, we print the
values in ascending and descending orders.
for (int i = 0; i < planets.length; i++) {
System.out.println(planets[i]); }
The arrays are accessed by zero-based indexing. The first item has index 0. Therefore, the i variable is
initialized to zero. The condition checks if the i variable is less than the length of the array. In the final
phase, the i variable is incremented.
for (int i = planets.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
System.out.println(planets[i]); }
This for loop prints the elements of the array in reverse order. The i counter is initialized to array size. Since
the indexing is zero based, the last element has index array size-1. The condition ensures that the counter
is greater or equal to zero. (Array indexes cannot be negative). In the third step, the i counter is
decremented by one.
8
More expressions can be placed in the initialization and iteration phase of the for loop.
In our example, we create an array of ten random numbers. A sum of the numbers is calculated.
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++, sum += num) {
num = r.nextInt(10); values[i] = num; }
In the third part of the for loop, we have two expressions separated by a comma character. The i counter is
incremented and the current number is added to the sum variable.
$ java com.zetcode.ForStatement3 [1, 9, 2, 9, 0, 9, 8, 5, 5, 3] The sum of the values is 51
In this example, we use the enhanced for statement to go through an array of planets.
for (String planet : planets) {
System.out.println(planet); }
The usage of the for statement is straightforward. The planets is the array that we iterate through. A planet
is the temporary variable that has the current value from the array. The for statement goes through all the
planets and prints them to the console.
$ java Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Pluto
import java.util.Random;
public class BreakStatement {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Random random = new Random();
while (true) {
9
int num = random.nextInt(30); System.out.print(num + " ");
if (num == 22) {
break; } }
System.out.print('\n'); }}
We define an endless while loop. We use the break statement to get out of this loop. We choose a random
value from 1 to 30 and print it. If the value equals to 22, we finish the endless while loop.
while (true) { ... }
Placing true in the brackets of the while statement creates an endless loop. We must terminate the loop
ourselves. Note that such code is error-prone. We should be careful using such loops.
if (num == 22) {
break; }
When the randomly chosen value is equal to 22, the break statement is executed and the while loop is
terminated.
$ java 23 12 0 4 13 16 6 12 11 9 24 23 23 19 15 26 3 3 27 28 25 3 3 25 6 22 $ java 23 19 29 27 3 28 2 2
26 0 0 24 17 4 7 12 8 20 22 $ java 15 20 10 25 2 19 26 4 13 21 15 21 21 24 3 22
If the expression num % 2 returns 0, the number in question can be divided by 2. The continue statement is
executed and the rest of the cycle is skipped. In our case, the last statement of the loop is skipped and the
number is not printed to the console. The next iteration has started.

Commercial Bank and its functions
Functions of Commercial Banks
Commercial banks are authorized to provide a variety of financial services which includes loans, savings
accounts, etc. In this article, we will talk about various functions that a commercial bank performs.
1. Accepting Deposits
Commercial banks accept deposits from people, businesses, and other entities in the form of:
• Savings deposits – The commercial bank accepts small deposits, from households or persons, in order
to encourage savings in the economy.
• Time deposit – The bank accepts deposits for a fixed time and carries a higher rate of interest as
compared to savings deposits.
• Current deposits – These accounts do not offer any interest. Further, most current accounts offer
overdrafts up to a pre-specified limit. The bank, therefore, undertakes the obligation of paying all
cheques against deposits subject to the availability of sufficient funds in the account.
2. Lending of Funds
Another important activity is lending funds to customers in the form of loans and advances, cash credit,
overdraft and discounting of bills, etc.
Loans are advances that a bank extends to his customers with or without security for a specified time and at
an agreed rate of interest. Further, the bank credits the loan amount in the customers’ account which he
withdraws as per his needs.
Under the cash credit facility, the bank offers its customers a facility to borrow cash up to a certain limit
against the security of goods. Further, an overdraft is an arrangement that a bank offers to customers
wherein a temporary facility is offered to overdraw from the current account without any security.
Overdraft is a special feature where a bank may allow its customers to withdraw more than the balance
they have in their account. It must be noted that the bank has the sole right to decide and for the customer
must have strong goodwill.
The limit is pre-specified. Additionally, banks also discount and purchase bills. In both of these cases, a bank
credits the amount of the bill in the customer’s account after deducting discounts and commissions.
Subsequently, this amount is recovered from the debtors on the maturity of the instrument.

Capital expenditure means the expenditure the benefit of which is not exhausted within the current year
but is enjoyed over a long period. E.g. building purchased or vehicle bought would be used (enjoyed) in
coming years too...
Main features:-
1. Capital expenditure results in the acquisition of permanent assets (buildings, vehicles, furniture, plant
and machinery).
2. The intention of buying or acquiring such assets is for future income generation or reducing some
expenditure.
3. The benefits are reaped over a long time period.
To start a business/commence a business, heavy expenditure is incurred. Such expenditure will also be-
Capital Expenditure.
4. Expenses incurred to establish a business, e.g. preliminary expenditure for Incorporation of a company.
5. Expenses incurred on issuing shares and debentures.
6. Expenses incurred on raising loan and for the business.
7. Capital expenditure includes the expenses incurred to acquire the right to carry on business e.g. cost of
license, legal fees and brokerage paid to acquire an asset.
To make the asset functional some expenses might be incurred.
8. Capital expenditure includes expenses incurred for making the asset ready for use. E.g. wages paid for
erecting machines.
9. Expenditure incurred for the extension of or improvement in fixed assets is also capital expenditure. E.
G. Overhauling of second hand machinery.
Apart from the above mentioned expenditure capital expenditure includes
10. Expenses incurred to acquire intangible assets such as goodwill, patents etc.
11. Expenses incurred to reduce operating costs e. G. Conversion of hand driven machinery into power
driven machinery.
12. Any kind of development expenditure incurred in case of plantation and horticulture.

REVENUE EXPENDITURE
Revenue expenditure means the expenditure the benefits of which is exhausted within the current year.
Such expenditure is of recurring nature and does not result in acquiring of an asset.
The following types of expenses are included in revenue expenditure..
1. Expenses incurred for the day to day running of the business. E.g. rent, Salaries, wages, power and fuel
etc.
2. Expenses incurred for the upkeep of fixed assets... Like repairs and maintenance. Legal expenses
incurred to defend the ownership of fixed asset are also revenue expenditure. (Why?)
3. Expenses incurred on purchase of stock if materials and goods. These include the goods purchased for
resale and raw materials purchased for converting them into finished goods.
4. Depreciation on fixed assets.. Every year the value of an asset reduces due to wear and tear and also
due to passage of time. It happens every year and is of recurring nature.
5. Loss from sale of fixed assets
6. Replacement if worn-out parts of existing machines.
7. Interest in loan and interest on capital.
1. Purpose
Capital expenditure is incurred for acquisition or erection of fixed assets. Revenue expenditure is incurred
for day to day running of the business.
2. Earning Capacity
Capital expenditure increases the earning capacity of the business and revenue expenditure helps in
maintenance.
4. Accounting Treatment
Capital expenditure is shown in the Balance Sheet and revenue expenditure feature in the P & L a/c.
5. Nature
Capital expenditure is of non- recurring nature but revenue expenditure is of recurring nature because it is
incurred on day to day operations.
6. Effect on Assets
Capital expenditure leads to increase in the value of fixed assets but this is not the case with revenue
expenditure.
Revenue receipts are of recurring nature and are obtained during the normal course of business.
These are the incomes and are shown in the credit side of P & L a/c
Examples:
Sale of goods. Annual sales are also called turnover.
Interest received, dividend received, rent received and commission received.
Any kind of fees received.
(Any kind of income to the business of recurring nature is revenue receipt)
