HOLIDAY HOMEWORK FOR 12 SCIENCE- 2022-23

ENGLISH
Any two of the following to be done. Use A4 sheets and submit in a channel file with name, class, section
and roll number written on the first page.

1."When a people are enslaved, as long as they hold fast to their language it is as if they had the key to their
prison."

Prepare a write-up taking examples from history where a conquered people had their language taken away from
them or had a language imposed on them.

2.The beauty of the glass bangles of Firozabad contrasts with the misery of people who produce them.
This paradox is also found in some other situations, for example, those who work in gold and diamond mines, or
carpet weaving factories, and the products of their labour, the lives of construction workers, and the buildings
they build.

• Look around and find examples of such paradoxes.

• Write a paragraph of about 200 to 250 words on any one of them. You can start by making notes.

Here is an example of how one such paragraph may begin:

You never see the poor in this town. By day they toil, working cranes and earthmovers, squirreling deep into the
hot sand to lay the foundations of chrome. By night they are banished to bleak labour camps at the outskirts of
the city…

3.Imagine you are the poet Kamala Das's friend.

Write a dialogue exchange between yourself and the poet where the latter confides in you about her fears and
asks for your advice.
What would your advice be –to face her fears, to ignore them or something else?

PROGRAM:
1. Write a program to take input of two lists from user and perform the following
operations:
 (i) Display the list having maximum number of elements.
(ii) Display union of two lists.
(iii) Display intersection of two lists.

Example:

Enter First List:[2,3,4,5,6,7]

Enter Second List:[4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

Output:

[4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

Union:[2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

Intersection:[4,5,6,7]

2. Write a program to take input of a list from user and perform the following operations:
(i) Display the second maximum number from the list.
(ii) Display duplicate numbers from the list.
(iii) Display the highest frequency number with its frequency from the list.

Example:

Enter a List:[2,3,4,5,6,7,3,4,7,4]

Output:

Second Maximum number: 6

Duplicate Numbers: [3,4,7]

4 having highest frequency which is 3.
