Evaluation helps us to identify the shortcomings in teaching learning process, thus enabling us to bring about the much needed changes in the methodology of teaching. We do not restrict ourselves to evaluate only the students, but evaluation encompasses teachers, syllabus and curriculum as well. Written Examination (Pen and Paper Test) is one technique which helps us in the process of evaluation. Question papers play a vital role in this process. It is, therefore, absolutely essential that the question papers are student friendly, catering to the needs of different strata i.e. brilliant, average and below average students. The question papers have to be balanced so that these test the learning outcomes specified for different subjects. ‘The common examination of students of class XI in all DAV Public Schools was started in the academic session 2010-2011 and it has proved a great success. As a consequence, the academic standards of our schools at the Senior Secondary stage are bound to improve further. In order to enable the teachers and students to prepare well for the Annual Examination at the end of the academic session 2020-21, the DAV Centre for Academic Excellence is providing Sample Question Papers. It is hoped that these sample question papers will certainly improve the class room transaction of the subject in our schools. These sample question papers have been prepared by practising teachers of DAV Public Schools under the guidance of experienced resource persons in virtual workshops conducted under the guidance of DAVCAE. I express my gratitude to Mr. S.K. Sharma, OSD, DAV CAE and all the experts who very ably guided our teachers in the virtual workshops organised by the DAVCAE. I would also thank DAV CAE staff extending their support in hosting these virtual workshops. 1 am confident that the students and teachers will use these sample question papers in teaching learning process and thus help the students to do well in the Annual Examination in February-March, 2021, Punam Suri Chairman DAV Education BoardThe DAV Centre for Academic Excellence decided to conduct common examination for students of Class XI in all DAV Public Schools. There were the following reasons for doing so (a) The students would be appearing for an Annual External Examination for the first time in Class XII and so, such a move would give them some training for appearing in the Annual External Examination, (b) There would be uniform standard of teaching-learning in all DAV Schools. (©) The syllabus of Class XI would be fully covered by all the teachers and students, thus, helping the students in their preparation for competitive examinations at the end of Class XII because quite a sizeable portion of the question papers in the competitive examinations would be relevant to the portions of the subjects covered in Class XI. The DAV Centre for Academic Excellence has been providing Sample Question Papers in different subjects to all the students and teachers, alongwith the solutions and marking scheme, ever since, It gives me immense pleasure to state that this effort has been a great success and has helped in improving the class room transaction in our schools, and the overall performance of the students in CBSE class XII. Once again, we are happy to provide to the students and teachers of all DAV Public Schools Sample Question Papers of different subjects for Class XI. These sample question papers are the outcome of a lot of effort put in by practising teachers of DAV Public Schools under the able guidance of experienced resource persons. We take this opportunity to thank all the experts and participants who worked tirelessly to develop these sample question papers. Lam confident that the publication will be of immense use and great help to the students and teachers as well No publication is the last word on the subject. And therefore we invite suggestions for further improvement in future. SecretaryThe DAV Centre for Academic Excellence, has been making all efforts to achieve the objectives laid out for the centre. One of the objective is to bring about a uniformity in the standard of education in DAV Public Schools spread throughout the length and breadth of India. We know that our Public Schools, situated as they are, cater to the needs of different strata of society and it is, therefore a difficult task to maintain the same standard of teaching in all these institutions. However, one such activity that has helped us in bringing about some uniformity in the standard of education is the system of common examination. Since the session (2010-11), the DAV Education Board gives common question papers for Class XI in the DAV Public Schools. For understanding the format of CBSE question papers, students are provided with sample papers. These sample question papers are a great help for the preparation of annual examination. This booklet is an assortment of sample papers for different subjects. Examination is held in all the schools as per the date sheet issued by DAV Centre for Academic Excellence, The main tool in the written examination is the question paper. If the question paper is not designed properly, the test will give a totally incorrect conclusion. And in this whole process the casualty will be the student. It has been observed that the question papers in general suffer from the following infirmities : + The questions that mostly require on recall of information and as such encourage memorisation. + Abilities like understanding and application of knowledge are seldom tested. + The questions are vaguely worded. As a result the student is not clear about the quality of answer required * Question paper does not cover the whole course. * Options are provided in the question paper which leave scope for the students to pick and choose. In order to remove the above infirmities and administer a good and balanced question paper to the students, efforts are made to incorporate the following in the question papers : (The question measures a single learning outcome. 4Gi)_ Incorporating some test tasks as would test all the abilities like knowledge, understanding, application & skill appropriately. (ii) Including questions that (a) are within the scope of syllabus. (b) are within the comprehension level, (©) can be solved within a reasonable length of time. (a) are worded in a clear, simple and unambiguous language. (©)_use appropriate directional words. Hence for setting a good question paper, a great deal of planning prior to the actual writing of questions is required. The major steps in the planning/preparation of a good and balanced question paper are (@ Preparation of the design : It lays down the chief dimensions of the question paper. Weightage to learning objectives, weightage to content, weightage to form of questions, weightage to difficulty level are decided under the head design. Moreover through written examination, it is the cognitive domain, representing the intellectual area of the pupils, that gets evaluated. This domain involves the development of the abilities of knowledge, understanding (comprehension), application (expression) and skill. The paper setter assigns marks to each in view of its importance. In order to cover maximum content course the paper setter has to prepare large number of questions of various types. These types include very short answer questions, short answer questions and long answer questions. (i) Preparation of blue print : The design is then followed by the preparation of a blue print. It reveals the actual picture of the question paper. The blue print gives the placement of questions in respect of : (a) _ the objective to be tested by each. (b) the content area to be covered by each. (© the form of question suitable for testing. (ii) Preparation of questions : Preparation of an appropriate question is an art and requires knowledge of objectives and their specifications, a mastery over the subject matter and the skill of framing questions. The paper setter while framing a question should keep in mind that- (a) It is based on a well defined specific objective. 5(b) It is related to a specific content area, (©) Itis at the desired level of the difficulty. (@) Itis well worded so as to be within the comprehension of the students and can be done within a reasonable length of time. (@) Its language is clear, simple and unambiguous. (It uses appropriate directional words. (iv) Editing the question paper : The editing and assembling of a question paper is of crucial importance. The arrangement of question in a question paper should be from easy to difficult. Similarly very short answer type questions should appear first to be followed by short answer type and long answer type questions. (¥) Preparation of marking schemelhints to solution : This is very essential as it (a) reduces the subjectivity in scoring. (b) ensures uniformity in scoring when a number of evaluators are involved and (c) gives the paper setter a clear idea of how the pupils will react while answering the questions. However, all teachers must understand that Marking Scheme is just a guideline to bring uniformity in evaluation. (vi) Preparation of question-wise analysis : \t helps the paper setter to know the strength and weakness of his/her question paper. It also enables the paper setter to reconcile the question paper with the blue print. The questions are, therefore, analysed in terms of : (a) objectives tested by the questions, (b) speci (©) topic covered by the questions. (@) form of the questions. (©) estimated difficulty level cation on which the question is based. SAMPLE QUESTION PAPERS Use of Sample Question Papers by students : ‘The Sample Question Papers indicate the pattern of the question papers which the pupils will have to face in the forth-coming examinations. These will also help the students to know how to answer a question. Understanding a question and then answering it, is a technique which students need to know.Use of Sample Question Papers by the teachers: The material presented herein may provide sufficient help to the teachers in bringing improvement in the techniques and tools of evaluation. It will help the teachers in + understanding the objective of teaching a particular course. + teaching various topics keeping in mind the learning objectives. + framing appropriate questions. * developing appropriate marking schemes for the question papers. The sample question papers along with guidelines for their evaluation printed herein were designed and developed in the virtual workshops, held under the guidance of DAV College Managing Committee. Subject experts helped and guided the participating teachers in developing these question papers. It is the matter of great satisfaction that small number of teachers participated in these virtual workshops from Schools, worked intensively & enthusiasticaly to form Sample Question Paper in time I convey my thanks to all the resource persons for their able guidance without which preparation of a good balanced Sample Question Paper in a particular subject would not have been possible. My thanks are also due to Mr. S.K. Sharma, OSD. DAV CAE and the staff working in the DAV Centre for Academic Excellence for their devoted and dedicated work.

Read the following passage carefully : (10) “This is not a game of hockey, but magic. Dhyan Chand is in fact the magician of hockey.” 1. Dhyan Chand was born in Allahabad on August 29, 1905. Young Chand had no serious inclination towards sports. He stated that he did not remember whether he played any hockey worth mentioning before he joined the Army, though he said that he occasionally indulged in casual games in Jhansi with his friends. 2. The Hindi word Chand literally means the moon. Since Dhyan Singh used to practice a lot during the night after his duty hours, he used 18to wait for the moon to come out so that the visibility in the field (during his era there were no flood lights) improved. He was hence called ‘Chand’, by his fellow players . On 29th August 1922 - his 17th birthday - Chand enlisted in the Ist Brahmans of the British Indian Army. A reorganisation of the army that year resulted in the Ist Brahmans becoming the 1/Ist Punjab Regiment. Between 1922 and 1926, Chand exclusively played army hockey tournaments and regimental games. Chand was ultimately selected for the Indian Army team which was to tour New Zealand. ‘The team won 18 matches, drew 2 and lost only 1 . In the meantime, the newly formed Indian Hockey Federation (IHF) made preparations to send its best possible team for the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics. In 1925, an Inter-Provincial Tournament was held to select the team members. Five teams participated in the inaugural nationals — United Provinces (UP), Punjab, Bengal, Rajputana and Central Provinces. Chand got permission from the Army to play for the United Provinces team. His clever stick-work, his penetrating runs, and judicious passes assured him a position in the team that was to take part in the Olympic Games. In the 1928 Amsterdam Summer Olympics, the Indian team was put in the division A table, with Austria, Belgium, Denmark and Switzerland. On 17th May the Indian national hockey team made its Olympic debut against Austria, winning 6-0, with Chand scoring 3 goals. The next day India defeated Belgium 9-0. On 20 May, Denmark lost to India 5-0. Two days later, he scored 4 goals when India defeated Switzerland 6-0 in the semi-finals. . The final match took place on 26th May, with India facing the Netherlands. Even with a skeletal side, India managed to defeat the hosts 3-0, and the Indian team won its country’s first Olympie gold medal. Chand was the top scorer of the tournament. 161A, fa) (b) © (d) fe) co) On the basis of your reading the passage, answer the following questions by choosing the best of the given options (any 10) : (1x10=10) ‘The 1st Brahmans of the British Indian Army later on came to be known as (@ V/11 Punjab Regiment Gi) 1/Ist Punjab Regiment ii) Indian Armed Forces (iv) The Indian Army From 1922-1926, Dhyan Chand played (Only for the United Provinces team (ii) Regimental games and army hockey tournaments ii) Friendly matches (iv) For the Rajputana team He was called ‘Chand’ by his fellow players because (i) That was his surname (ii) He practised a lot in moonlight (iii) Chand means the moon (iv) He was a gifted player In the Hockey finals of the 1928 Amsterdam Summer Olympics, India defeated (i) Switzerland Gi) Austria ii) The Netherlands (iv) Belgium Find the antonym of judicious’ from the options given below : (Discreet (ii) Judgemental Gi) Wise (iv) Foolish Find the correct synonym of ‘casual’ from the given options : (Serious Gi) Formal (iii) Unconcerned (iv) Permanent 17®) (h) w@ The word ‘skeletal’ in Paragraph 6 means : (i) Inadequate or incomplete _ (ii) Acceptable or adequate (iii) Moral or ethical (iv) Unlucky or awful What do we know of Chand as a young boy (i) He was passionate about Hockey.

Read the passage as well as the given table carefully : 8) Obesity - defined as having a high body-mass index — is a risk factor for several of the world’s leading causes of death, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes and various types of cancer. Obesity does not directly cause any of these health impacts but can increase their likelihood of occurring. 18The World Health Organization defines BMI as : “a simple index of weight- for-height that is commonly used to classify underweight, overweight and obesity in adults.” The WHO defines these categories using the cut-off points : an individual with a BMI between 25.0 and 30.0 is considered to be ‘overweight’; a BMI greater than 30.0 is defined as ‘obese’. At a basic level, weight gain — eventually leading to being overweight or obesity — is determined by a balance of energy. When we consume more energy ~ typically measured in kilocalories — than the energy expended to maintain life and carry out daily activities, we gain weight. In the table below, you will see country-wise data of the following variables: daily caloric supply, percentage of obese population, and total population. Overall, we see a strong positive relationship : countries with higher rates of overweight tend to have a higher supply of calories. Entity Year | Daily caloric supply | Overweight or } Total population (per person) Obese (%) (in millions) (kealiperson/day) Afghanistan 2013 2090 12.9 31 Bangladesh 2013 ‘2450 13.7 157 Sri Lanka 2013 (2539 16.6 20 India 2013 2459 159 1278 South Korea 2013 3334 36.8 50 United Kingdom | 2013 3424 67.6 64 United Arab 2013 3280 675 9 Emirates There are two potential drivers of the increase in obesity rates : either an increase in kilocalorie intake i.e. we eat more; or we expend less energy in daily life through lower activity levels. Both elements are likely to play a role in the rise in obesity. 78Obesity is one of the world’s largest health problems — one that has shifted from being a problem in rich countries, to one that spans all income levels. To tackle obesity, it’s likely that interventions which address both components : energy intake and expenditure are necessary. 2A. On the basis of your reading the passage, answer the following questions by choosing the best of the given options (any 8): (1x8=8) 1. Obesity is defined as : (a) Body Muscle Index (b) Body Mass Index (©) Having a high Body Mass Index (a) Having a low BMI 2, Which of the statements given below is false ? (a) An individual with a BMI less than 25.0 is considered ‘overweight. (b) A BMI greater than 30.0 is defined as obese. (©) In the United Kingdom, the percentage of obese persons is below 68%. (d) Obesity increases the likelihood of fatal disorders. 3, An inerease in obesity occurs when : (a) Our diet is high in sodium. (b) There is a decrease in kilocalorie intake and we expend more energy. () We eat more or we expend less energy in daily life. (a) There is a balance between energy intake and expenditure. 4. According to the passage, obesity, one of the largest health problems : (a) Is related specifically to age. (b) Is restricted only to rich countries. (©) Is prevalent only in the underdeveloped countries. (a) Spans all income levels. 20From the table, we can conclude that : (a) Higher supply of calories is related to higher rates of obesity. (b) High supply of calories is related to lower rates of obesity. (©) Higher supply of calories has no effect on obesity. (@ There is no relationship between higher supply of calories and obesity, Select the statement that is true about India (a) The daily calorie supply (per person) is below 2000.
