Q 3. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

Half an hour later Swaminathan sat in his father's room in a chair, with a slate in his hand and a
pencil ready. Father held the arithmetic book open and dictated: 'Rama has ten mangoes with which he
wants to earn fifteen annas. Krishan wants only four mangoes. How much will Krishan have to pay?'
Swaminathan gazed and gazed at this sum, and every time he read it, it seemed to acquire a new meaning.
He had the feeling of having stepped into a fearful maze...
His mouth began to water at the thought of mangoes. He wondered what made Rama fix fifteen annas for
ten mangoes. What kind of a man was Rama? Probably he was like Sankar( a friend of Swaminathan).
Somehow one couldn't help feeling that he must have been like Sankar with his ten mangoes and his iron
determination to get fifteen annas. If Rama was like Sankar, Krishan must have been like the Pea(
nickname of another friend of Swaminathan). Here Swaminathan felt an unaccountable sympathy for
Krishan.
'Have you done the sum?' father asked, looking over the newspaper he was reading.
'Father, will you tell me if the mangoes were ripe?'
Father regarded him for a while and smotherins a smile remarked, 'Do the sum first. I will tell you
whether the fruits were ripe or not, afterwards.'
Swaminathan felt utterly helpless. If only father would tell him whether Rama was trying to sell ripe
fruits or unripe ones! Of what avail would it be to tell him afterwards? He felt strongly that the answer to
this question contained the key to the whole problem. It would be scandalous to expect fifteen annas for
ten unripe mangoes. But even if he did, it wouldn't be unlike Rama, whom Swaminathan was steadily
beginning to hate and invest with the darkest qualities.
'Father, I cannot do the sum,' Swaminathan said, pushing away the slate.
'What is the matter with you? You can't solve a simple problem in Simple Proportion?'
'We are not taught this kind of thing in our school.'
'Get the slate here. I will make you give the answer now.' Swaminathan waited with interest for the
rniracle to happen. Father studied the sum for a second and asked, 'What is the price of ten mangoes?'
 Swaminathan looked over the surn to find out which part of the sum contained an answer to the question.
oI
don't know.'
'You seern to be an extraordinary fool. Now read the sum. Come on. How much does Rama expect for
ten mangoes?'
'Fifteen annas, of course,' Swaminathan thought, but how could that be its price, just price? It was very
well for Rama to expect it in his avaricq. But was it the right price? And then there was the obscure point
whether the mangoes were ripe or not. If they were ripe, fifteen annas might not have been an improbable
price. If only he could shed more light on this point!

A) Give the meanings of: lst

a) gazed
b) smothering
c) miracle
d) obsctre
e) avarice

B) Answer the following questions: [2x5:10]

a) What was Swaminathan doing in his father's room?
