Ques21:Read the source given below and Answer the Questions that follows:

Following the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, European governments were driven by a spirit of conservatism. Conservatives
believed that established, traditional institutions of state and society – like the monarchy, the Church, social
hierarchies, property and the family should be preserved. Most conservatives, however, did not propose a return to the
society of pre-revolutionary days. Rather, they realised, from the changes initiated by Napoleon, that modernisation
could in fact strengthen traditional institutions like the monarchy. It could make state power more effective and strong.
A modern army, an efficient bureaucracy, a dynamic economy, the abolition of feudalism and serfdom Could strengthen
the autocratic monarchies of Europe.
In 1815, representatives of the European powers – Britain, Russia, Prussia and Austria – who had collectively defeated
Napoleon, met at Vienna to draw up a settlement for Europe. The Congress was hosted by the Austrian Chancellor Duke
Metternich. The delegates drew up the Treaty of Vienna of 1815 with the object of undoing most of the changes that
had come about in Europe during the Napoleonic wars. The Bourbon dynasty, which had been deposed during the
French Revolution, was restored to power, and France lost the territories it had annexed under Napoleon. A series of
states were set up on the boundaries of France to prevent French expansion in future.

(i) Describe Europen conservation ideology?(1M)

(ii) Identify the purpose to convene the Congress of Vienna in 1815 from the following options.(2M)
(iii) How did the Congress of Vienna ensure peace in Europe?(1M)

Ques22:Read the source given below and Answer the Questions that follows:
Irrigation has also changed the cropping pattern of many regions with farmers shifting to
water intensive and commercial crops. This has great ecological consequences like
Stalinization of soil.
At the same time, it has transformed the social landscape for e.g.; increasing the social gap
between the richer land owners and landless poor. As a result, we can see, the dams did
create conflicts between people wanting different uses and benefits from the same water
resources. In Gujarat, the Sabarmati basin farmers were agitated and almost caused a riot
over the higher priority given to water supply in Urban areas, particularly during droughts.
Inter-state water disputes were also becoming common with regard to sharing the costs and
benefits of multi-purpose projects.
(i) How did cropping pattern change by irrigation?(1M)
(ii) Analyse the statement “Dams created conflict between people.”(1M)
(iii) What are the consequences of irrigation on Soil and social landscape(2M)

Ques23:Read the source given below and Answer the Questions that follows:
The value of final goods and services produced in each sector during a particular
year provides the total production of the sector for that year. And the sum of
production in the three sectors gives what is called the Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) of a country. It is the value of all final goods and services produced within a
country during a particular year. GDP shows how big the economy is. In India, the
mammoth task of measuring GDP is undertaken by a central government
ministry. This Ministry, with the help of various government departments of all the
Indian states and union territories, collects information relating to total volume of
goods and services and their prices and then estimates the GDP. When we
produce a good by exploiting natural resources, it is an activity of the primary
sector. The secondary sector in which natural products are changed into other
forms through ways of manufacturing that we associate with industrial activity.
After primary and secondary, there is a third category of activities that falls under
the tertiary sector and is different from the above two. These are activities that
help in the development of the primary and secondary sectors. These activities,
by themselves, do not produce a good but they are an aid or a support for the
production process.

(ii) Life insurance is an activity of which sector?(1M)
(iii) How to calculate GDP?(2M)
