Q1.Read carefully the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by
choosing the most appropriate one of the four options:
1.India is rich in medicinal plants which are available all across the subcontinent. Many 'folk'
medicines and practices are prevalent even today. There have been several systematic studies
about these, though they cannot claim to be complete of adequate
2.Here we will quote a few examples of such studies being conducted in some of the remote
parts of India, in the Leh and Nebra Valleys. These are documented in the volumes on Gold
Desert Plants by Om Prakash Chaurasia and Brahma Singh of the Field Research
Laboratory,DRDO at Leh. Here one may add that almost all the climatic regions in the world
are represented in India-roughly in the same ratio as the global distribution of such
geographical zones. Cold deserts, for example, are found in the interior of Asia and in the
inter-montane zone of North America. Of the total world land mass 16 percent is under cold
deserts. In India cold deserts come under the trans-Himalayan zone, and are confined to
Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir and Spiti in Himachal Pradesh
3.In India the history of medicinal plants can be traced back to the Vedic period (4500-1500
BC). The identity of several plants, viz. semal, pithuan and pipal referred to in the Suktas of
the Rig Veda contains only minor references to medicinal plants. the Athrava Veda contains
more detailed information, describing about 2000 species and their uses.​
