Std : 12th, , ENGLISH, , Time : 3 Hrs., , SECTION - I : PROSE, Q.1 A) Read the given extract and complete the activity given below:, [12], A1) Read the following statements and write down whether it is true or false:, 2, i) Achyut Godbole scored 100% marks in mathematics and languages in almost all the examinations that he, appeared., ii) When author was in 7th standard, he loved solving problems of physics and mathematics of the 9th, standard., iii) Author got admission in IIT Mumbai without appearing entrance examination as he had secured first rank, in university., iv) Achyut Godbole stood 16th in SSC Board examination conducted for the whole Maharashtra including, Nagpur., This is not to say that I did not like Science or Mathematics. In fact, I loved these subjects., However, I did not study them only for scoring maximum marks in the examinations. I used to study, these subjects or any subject for that matter for its inherent beauty. I found Newton's law of motion, beautiful and pythagorean theorem elegant. I loved solving problems of Physics and Mathematics of the, 9th standard when I was in the e7th, not to show off, but just because I used to love problem-solving and, used to enjoy finding out the most elegant method of solving them. Obviously, these problems were not a, part of the curriculum, but I enjoyed the whole process. This attitude of looking beyond marks or, examinations and to seek joy in solving any challenging problem helped me to develop a 'problemsolving' attitude which came handy when I appeared for my IIT entrance (JEE) because this exam is, completely based on your problem-solving ability and the ability to think not only logically but quickly, and rapidly., I scored 100% marks in Mathematics in almost all the examinations that I appeared for from my 1 st, standard until IIT, barring only a few times. I stood 16th in the SSC Board (at that time, this examination, was for the whole of Maharashtra, including Nagput) and I stood 1 st in the University in all subjects put, together. Those days, you could get an admission into IIT without the entrance test (JEE) if you had, secured the 1 st rand in the University. Therefore, I did not have to appear for the entrance test to get the, admission into IIT, but nobody in Solapur told me about it, for I doubt if anybody in Solapur even knew, about this rule. Therefore, I appeared for the entrance examination, and I secured a very good rank in the, same., A2) Complete:, 2, The writer Achyut Godbole developed a problem-solving attutude because -----i) -----------------------------------ii) ------------------------------------A3) Find proof:, 2, Find proof from the extract that Achyut Godbole was an exceptionally good in all subjects especially maths, from his childhood., A4) Personal Response:, 2, Write four to five sentences about the subject that you like most and explain the reason., A5) Language Study:, 2, i) I appeared for my IIT entrance.
