Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
Describe the basic factors affecting the population of India.
Answer:
The basic factors affecting the population of India are as under :

• Birth Rate: It is the number of live births per 1,000 individuals of a population per annum. It increases both population size and population density.
• Death or Mortality Rate: It is expressed as the number of death per 1,000 individuals of a population per year. It decreases both population size and population density.
• Migration: Migration is the movement of the people across regions and territories. Migration can be internal or international.

Question 2.
What is meant by population growth and how do you calculate it?
Answer:
Growth of population refers to the change in the number of inhabitants of a country/territory during a specific period or time as an instance, during the last 10 years. Such a change can be expressed in two ways: in terms of absolute numbers and in terms of percentage change per year.

It is obtained by simply subtracting the earlier population from the later population. It is referred to as absolute increase.

Question 3.
Distinguish between Total Population and Average Density of Population.
Answer:

Total Population	Average Density of Population
(i) It is the number of people actually existing in the area.	(i) It is the number of people in a unit area after the distribution of the total population uniformly.
(ii) Its unit of measurement is number of people.	(ii) Its unit of measurement is the number of people per unit area.
(iii) Its value depends on the number of people only.	(iii) Its value depends on both the number of people as well as the total area.

Question 4.
What are the push and pull factors of internal migration in India?
Answer:
In India, most migrations have been from rural to urban areas because of the ‘push’ factor in rural areas. These are adverse conditions of poverty and unemployment in the rural areas and the ‘pull’ of the city in terms of increased employment opportunities and better living conditions.

Question 1.Answer the following questions.
(i) Why are people considered a resource?
(ii) What are the causes for the uneven distribution of population in the world?
(iii) The world population has grown very rapidly. Why?

Answer.
(i) Human beings are the most important resource of a nation. They are significant because had they not utilised their brains, the other resources of nature would not have found any utility. In other words, human resource is the ultimate resource.

(ii) Population density depends on the climate conditions and topography of the place, like few people live in high latitude areas, tropical deserts, mountainous ‘terrains, and forest areas,whereas a large number of people reside in plains. Fertility of soils, availability of fresh water, minerals are other major geographical factors behind this. Some social factors that boost the density of population in a region are better housing, education and health facilities. Places with cultural or historical significance are usually populated. Employment opportunities are another attraction for large chunks of population.

(iii) Because of the better food supplies, increase in medical facilities, reduced death rate, birth rate almost remaining the same.

• The difference between birth rate and death rate is called natural growth rate. This natural growth is high due to better medical and food facilities leading to growth in population.
• Many people move from one country to another due to various reasons. This also leads to increase in population of the countries having his immigration.

भगवान के डाकिये
______________________________________

प्रश्न-अभ्यास

Question 1:
कवि ने पक्षी और बादल को भगवान के डाकिए क्यों बताया हैं? स्पष्ट कीजिए।
Solution:
कवि ने पक्षी और बादल को भगवान के डाकिए इसलिए कहा है क्योंकि जिस प्रकार डाकिए संदेश लाने का काम करते हैं, उसी प्रकार पक्षी और बादल भगवान का संदेश हम तक पहुँचाते हैं। उनके लाए संदेश को हम भले ही न समझ पाए, पर पेड़, पौधे, पानी और पहाड़ उसे भली प्रकार पढ़-समझ लेतें हैं। जिस तरह बादल और पक्षी दूसरे देश में जाकर भी भेदभाव नहीं करते उसी तरह हमें भी आचरण करना चाहिए।

Question 2:
पक्षी और बादल द्वारा लाई गई चिट्ठियों को कौन-कौन पढ़ पाते हैं? सोच कर लिखिए।
Solution:
पक्षी और बादल द्वारा लायी गई चिट्ठियों को पेड़-पौधे, पानी और पहाड़ पढ़ पाते हैं।

Question 3:
किन पंक्तियों का भाव है :
(क) पक्षी और बादल प्रेम, सद्भाव और एकता का संदेश एक देश से दूसरे देश को भेजते हैं।
(ख) प्रकृति देश-देश में भेद भाव नहीं करती। एक देश से उठा बादल दूसरे देश में बरस जाता है।
Solution:
(क) पक्षी और बादल,
ये भगवान के डाकिए हैं,
जो एक महादेश से
दूसरे महादेश को जाते हैं।
हम तो समझ नहीं पाते हैं
मगर उनकी लाई चिट्ठियाँ
पेड़, पौधें, पानी और पहाड़
बाँचते हैं।
(ख) और एक देश का भाप
दूसरे देश में पानी
बनकर गिरता है।

Question 4:
पक्षी और बादल की चिट्ठियों में पेड़-पौधे, पानी और पहाड़ क्या पढ़ पाते हैं?
Solution:
कवि का कहना है कि पक्षी और बादल भगवान के डाकिए हैं। जिस प्रकार डाकिए संदेश लाने का काम करते हैं, उसी प्रकार पक्षी और बादल भगवान का संदेश लाने का काम करते हैं। पक्षी और बादल की चिट्ठियों में पेड़-पौधे, पानी और पहाड़ भगवान के भेजे एकता और सद्भावना के संदेश को पढ़ पाते हैं। इसपर अमल करते नदियाँ समान भाव से सभी लोगों में अपने पानी को बाँटती है। पहाड़ भी समान रूप से सबके साथ खड़ा होता है। पेड़-पौधें समान भाव से अपने फल, फूल व सुगंध को बाँटते हैं, कभी भेदभाव नहीं करते।

Question 5:
”एक देश की धरती दूसरे देश को सुगंध भेजती है” – कथन का भाव स्पष्ट कीजिए।
Solution:
एक देश की धरती अपने सुगंध व प्यार को पक्षियों के माध्यम से दूसरे देश को भेजकर सद्भावना का संदेश भेजती है। धरती अपनी भूमि में उगने वाले फूलों की सुगंध को हवा से, पानी को बादलों के रूप में भेजती है। हवा में उड़ते हुए पक्षियों के पंखों पर प्रेम-प्यार की सुगंध तैरकर दूसरे देश तक पहुँच जाती है। इस प्रकार एक देश की धरती दूसरे देश को सुगंध भेजती है।

Question 6:
पक्षियों और बादल की चिट्ठियों के आदान-प्रदान को आप किस दृष्टि से देख सकते हैं?
Solution:
पक्षी और बादल की चिट्ठियों के आदान-प्रदान को हम प्रेम, सौहार्द और आपसी सद्भाव की दृष्टि से देख सकते हैं। यह हमें यहीं संदेश देते हैं।

Question 7:
आज विश्व में कहीं भी संवाद भेजने और पाने का एक बड़ा साधन इंटरनेट है। पक्षी और बादल की चिट्ठियों की तुलना इंटरनेट से करते हुए दस पंक्तियाँ लिखिए।
Solution:
पक्षी और बादल प्रकृति के अनुसार काम करते हैं किंतु, इंटरनेट मनुष्य के अनुसार काम करते है। बादल का कार्य प्रकृति-प्रेमी को प्रभावित करती है किंतु, इंटरनेट विज्ञानं प्रेमी को प्रभावित करती है। पक्षी और बादल का कार्य धीमी गति से होता है किंतु, इंटरनेट का कार्य तीव्र गति से होता है। इंटरनेट एक व्यक्ति से दूसरे व्यक्ति तक बात पहुँचाने का ही सरल तथा तेज माध्यम है। इसके द्वारा हम किसी व्यक्तिगत रायों को जान सकते हैं किन्तु पक्षी और बादल की चिट्ठियाँ हमें भगवान का सन्देश देते हैं। वे बिना भेदभाव के सारी दुनिया में प्रेम और एकता का संदेश देते हैं। हमें भी इंटरनेट के माध्यम से प्रेम और एकता और भाईचारा का संदेश विश्व में फैलाना चाहिए।

Thus, television has enabled us to think of ourselves as members of a larger global world.

2. Most television channels and newspapers are part of big business houses. Why? 
Answer: The technologies that mass media use keep changing and so a lot of money is spent on getting the latest technology. The TV studio in which the newsreader sits has lights, cameras, sound recorders, transmission satellites etc. All of these cost a lot of money.

One thing more, it is not only the newsreader who needs to be paid but also a number of other people who help put the broadcast together. Due to these costs, mass media needs a great deal of money to do its various works. As a result, most television channels and newspapers are part of big business houses.
