Q. 11 Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below-
(05)
One day walking in the garden with Birbal and the other courtiers, Emperor Akbar bent
to pick up a sharp stone. With it, he drew a line on the ground and said "Birbal make
the line shorter." He paused and with a glint of mischief in his eyes, he said, "But don't
touch it. Just make it shorter."
The courtiers looked at each other. Birbal surely couldn't do this, could he?
Perhaps he would finally be outwitted.
But Birbal calmly bent down to pick up another stone. He quietly drew a second
line below Akbar's. Everyone looked at the two lines. Akbar's line was clearly shorter
than Birbal's!
