Two pictures have been attached with this document. These pictures capture the momentous history of then East Pakistan Army Lt Gen AAK Niazi signing the instrument of surrender, to the Indian Armed Forces. The Indian officer who accepted the surrender was Lt Gen J S Aurora.
The picture titled 'Pak Surrender 1' captures the moment just before the Pakistani General signs the instrument of surrender.
The picture titled 'Pak Surrender 2' captures the historic moment when Lt Gen Niazi signs the document.
Your assignment is based on these pictures. Look at these pictures and analyse them from the viewpoint of the victorious Indian General and the vanquished Pakistani General. Try to put yourself in their shoes. What do you feel? How do you think they felt? What would be going on in their minds? How would the thinking of the Indian General be different from that of his Pakistani counterpart? Now crystallise these thoughts and write them down as bullet points. These bullet points will help you to write your assignment later.
ASSIGNMENT
1. Diary Entry
Students can be divided into India and Pakistan. Or every student may be allowed to write two diary entries, one from the victorious Indian POV (point of view), the other from the vanquished Pakistani POV. Students can write a diary entry, one night before the actual event takes place, as in, what does the Indian General feel; what does the Pakistani general feel, one night before the surrender actually takes place. Of-course, at this point the war is over and India has won and Pakistan has lost. The diary entries must capture the thoughts, feelings and emotions of the two men in the pictures.
The diary entry must be in the format that your teacher has taught you, which is, the accepted CBSE format. You must adhere to word limits.
2. Dialogue Writing
You will write a script of one page (dialogues) between the two generals, the victorious Indian General and the vanquished Pakistani general, while they are walking towards the table, on which lies the document of the instrument of surrender. You should look at the picture titled 'Pak Surrender 1' for this purpose. You must try to capture the feelings and emotions which the two generals must have felt. How will they talk to

each other? What will they talk about? Would their conversation be civil and respectful? What would the victorious general have to say? What would the vanquished general have to say?
Based on the material above and the picture attached, write a dialogue between the two characters. You must follow the format taught by your teacher. You must adhere to the word limit.

Explanation:
Correct option is
C
25 A, no
Fuses are safety devices that are to be built into our electrical system. If there were no fuses and we operated too many appliances on a single circuit, the cable carrying the power for that circuit would get extremely hot, short circuit, and possibly start a fire. To prevent electrical overloads, fuses are designed to trip or blow, stopping the flow of current to the overloaded cable.
The fuse must always be connected to the mains and it must be of correct value. For example, a 15-ampere fuse should trip when the current through it exceeds 15 amperes. A 20-ampere fuse should blow when the current through it exceeds 20 amps.
In this case, let us consider a device of power 5 kW, that is, 5000 W and 200 V.
The current through the appliance is given as I=P/V.
That is, I=
V
P
=
200
5000
=25A.
The fuse of 8 A cannot be used because the current through the appliance is
greater the fuse rating. When the 25 A current flows through the fuse it will
blow off and it will not be able to fulfill it purpose.
Hence, a fuse is rated 8 A cannot be used with this appliance.
