CHSE Odisha 11th Class Math Notes Chapter 11 Straight Lines

Distance formula:
Distance between two points A (x₁, y₁) and A (x₂, y₂) = \(\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}\)

Section Formula:
If C(x, y) divides the join of A (x₁, y₁) and A (x₂, y₂) in the ratio m: n internally then, x = \(\frac{m x_2+n x_1}{m+n}\), y = \(\frac{m y_2+n y_1}{m+n}\)

Note:

• If the division is external then, x = \(\frac{m x_2-n x_1}{m-n}\), y = \(\frac{m y_2-n y_1}{m-n}\)
• If C(x, y) is the midpoint then x = \(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}\), y = \(\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\)

Area of triangle formula:
The area of triangle with vertices A(x₁, y₁), B(x₂, y₂) and C(x₃, y₃) is given by  = \(\frac{1}{2}\)[x₁(y₂ – y₃) + x₂(y₃ – y₁) + x₃(y₁ – y₂)]

Different points related to a triangle:
(a) Centroid of the triangle with vertices A(x₁, y₁), B(x₂, y₂) and C(x₃, y₃) is = G \(\left(\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1+y_2+y_3}{3}\right)\)

(b) In centre of a triangle with vertices A(x₁, y₁), B(x₂, y₂) and C(x₃, y₃) is = I \(\left(\frac{a x_1+b x_2+c x_3}{3}, \frac{a y_1+b y_2+c y_3}{3}\right)\)

Slope Of A Line:
(a) Angle of inclination: the angle θ made by a line with positive x-axis is the angle of inclination.
(b) Slope of a line: Slope of a line is the tangent of angle of inclination. i,.e m = tan θ.
(c) Slope of a line joining A(x₁, y₁), and B(x₂, y₂) = \(\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Note:

(i) Slope of x-axis = 0
Slope of any line parallel to x-axis = 0

(ii) Slope of y-axis  = ∞
Slope of any line parallel to y-axis = ∞

Angle Between two Lines:
Angle Φ between two lines with slope m₁ and m₂ is given by tan Φ = \(\pm \frac{\left(m_1-m_2\right)}{1+m_1 m_2}\)

Note:

• To find the acute angle between two lines use the formula. tan Φ = \(\left|\frac{m_1-m_2}{1+m_1 m_2}\right|\)
• Two lines are parallel if m₁ = m₂
• Two lines are perpendicular if m₁m₂ = (-1).

Collinearity Of Three Points:
Three points A(x₁, y₁), B(x₂, y₂) and C(x₃, y₃) are collinear if
(i) Sum of distances between two pairs of points = Distance between the 3rd pair.
Or, (ii) Area of Δ ABC = 0
Or, (iii) Let B(x₂, y₂) divides the join of AC in ratio k: 1
∴ \(x_2=\frac{k x_3+x_1}{k+1}, y_2=\frac{k y_3+y_1}{k+1}\)
The value of k obtained from two cases are equal.
Or, (iv) Slope of AB = Slope of AC.

Equation of a straight line:
Lines parallel to co-ordinate axes:
(i) Equation of any line parallel to x-axis is, y = k
⇒ Equation of x-axis is, y = 0

Equation of a line with x-intercept ‘a’ and y-intercept ‘b’ is \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\)

(v) Normal form:
Equation of a line whose distance form origin is P and the perpendicular drawn form origin to the line makes an angle α with positive direction of x-axis is: x cos α + y sin α = P

(vi) Parameteric form or symmetric form:
Equation of the line passing through A(x₁, y₁) and making an angle θ with positive direction of x-axis is: \(\frac{x-x_1}{\cos \theta}=\frac{y-y_1}{\sin \theta}\) = r
Or, x = x₁ + r cos θ, y = y₁ + r sin θ
where r = The directed distance between points P(x, y) and A(x₁, y₁)

(vii) General form:
General equation of a straight line is Ax + By + C = 0

Note:

• Slope of this line = –\(\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{B}}\)
• x-intercept = –\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{A}}\)
• y-intercept = – \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{B}}\)
• Two lines a₁x + b₁y + c₁ = 0 and a₂x + b₂y + c₂ = 0 are parallel if \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}\) perpendicular if a₁a₂ + b₁b₂ = 0 and coincident if \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}\)

Condition of concurrency of three lines:
Three lines a₁x + b₁y + c₁ = 0 a₂x + b₂y + c₂ = 0 and a₃x + b₃y + c₃ = 0 are concurrent if \(\left|\begin{array}{lll}
a_1 & b_1 & c_1 \\
a_2 & b_2 & c_2 \\
a_3 & b_3 & c_3
\end{array}\right|\) = 0

Family Of Lines:

(i) Equation of lines parallel to the line ax + by + c = 0 is given by: ax + by + λ = 0
(ii) Equation of lines perpendicular to the line ax + by + c = 0 is given by bx – ay + λ = 0
(iii) Equation of lines passing through the point of intersection of two lines.
a₁x + b₁y + c₁ = 0 and a₂x + b₂y + c₂ = 0 is given by: (a₁x + b₁y + c₁) + λ(a₂x + b₂y + c₂)

Distance of a point from a line:
The perpendicular distance of A(x₁, y₁) from the line ax + by + c  = 0 is: d = \(\left|\frac{a x_1+b y_1+c}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}\right|\)

Distance between two parallel lines:
ax + by + c₁ = 0 and  ax + by + c₂ = 0 is d = \(\left|\frac{c_1-c_2}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}\right|\)

Position of a point with respect to a line:
A point A(x₁, y₁) lies
(i) above the line ax + by + c = 0 if \(\frac{a x_1+b y_1+c}{b}\) > 0
(ii) below the line ax + by + c = 0 if \(\frac{a x_1+b y_1+c}{b}\) < 0

Equation of bisectors of angle between two intersecting lines:
(i) Equation of angle bisector of two lines. a₁x + b₁y + c₁ = 0 and a₂x + b₂y + c₂ = 0 is given by \(\frac{a_1 x+b_1 y+c_1}{\sqrt{a_1^2+b_1^2}}=\pm \frac{a_2 x+b_2 y+c_2}{\sqrt{a_2^2+b_2^2}}\)

Note:

Out of two bisector take one and find the angle between that bisector and one line. If the angle is less than 45° then that bisector is the bisector of acute angle, otherwise, the other bisector is the bisector of acute angle.

(ii) Bisector of angle containing a given point (h, k):

Step – 1: Check the sign of a₁h + b₁k + c₁  and a₂h + b₂k + c₂

• If they have same sign then the bisector of angle containing (h, k) is: \(\frac{a_1 x+b_1 y+c_1}{\sqrt{a_1^2+b_1^2}}=\frac{a_2 x+b_2 y+c_2}{\sqrt{a_2^2+b_2^2}}\)
• If they have opposite sign then the bisector of angle containing (h, k) is: \(\frac{a_1 x+b_1 y+c_1}{\sqrt{a_1^2+b_1^2}}=-\frac{a_2 x+b_2 y+c_2}{\sqrt{a_2^2+b_2^2}}\)

Change Of Axes (Shifting Of Origin):

(i) Translation of coordinate axes.
Let O'(h, k) is the origin of system S’ with respect to origin O(0, 0) of the system S. S’ is the translation of S. If (x, y) and (x’, y’) are the coordinate of a point P in the system S and S’ respectively then
x’ = x – h and y’ = y – k Or, x = x’ + h, y = y’ + k

(ii) Rotation of axes:
Let S’ is a rotation of S, α is the measure of rotation
If (x, y) and (x’, y’) are the coordinate of a point P with respect to S and S’ then x = x’ cos α – y’ sin α and y = x’ sin α + y’ cos α

(iii) Translation as well as a rotation:
If S’ is a combination of translation followed by a rotation then x = h + x’ cos α – y’ sin α, y = k + x’ sin α + y’ cos α

Odisha State Board CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Notes Chapter 7 Linear Inequalities will enable students to study smartly.

CHSE Odisha 11th Class Math Notes Chapter 7 Linear Inequalities

Inequality:
A statement with symbols like >, ≥, <, ≤ is an inequality.

Different types of inequality:

(a) Numerical inequality: It is an inequality involving numbers not variables.
(b) Literal inequality: It is the inequality involving literal numbers(variable).
(c) Strict inequality: An inequality with only > or < symbols is a strict inequality.
(d) Slack inequality: An inequality with only ≥ or ≤ symbols is a slack inequality.

Linear inequality:
An inequality involving variables in the first degree is called linear inequalities.
(a) General form of inequalities:
(i) In one variable: ax + b > or ≥ or < or ≤ 0
(ii) In two variables: ax + by + c > or ≥ or < or ≤ 0.

Intervals:

• Closed Interval: [a, b] = {x ∈ R: a ≤ x ≤ b}
• Open Interval: (a, b) = {x ∈ R: a < x < b}
• Semi-open or semi-closed interval:
  ⇒ [a, b) = {x ∈ R: a ≤ x < b}
  ⇒ (a, b] = {x ∈ R: a < x ≤ b}

Basic properties of inequalities:
(1) a > b, b > c ⇒ a > c
(2) a > b ⇒ a ± c > b ± c
(3) a > b

• m > 0 ⇒ am > bm, \(\frac{a}{m}>\frac{b}{m}\)
• m < 0 ⇒ am < bm, \(\frac{a}{m}<\frac{b}{m}\)

(4) If a > b > 0, then
a² > b², |a| > |b| and \(\frac{1}{a}>\frac{1}{b}\)
If a < b < 0, then
|a| > |b| and \(\frac{1}{a}>\frac{1}{b}\)

Graphical solution of linear inequalities in two variables:
Working rule:

Let the inequality is ax + by + c < or ≤ or > or ≥ 0

Step – 1: Consider the equation ax + by + c = 0 in place of the inequality and draw its graph (Draw a dotted line for > or < and a bold line for ≥ or ≤).
Step – 2: Take any point that does not lie on the graph, and put the coordinate in the inequality.
If you get true then the inequality is satisfied. Shade the half-plane containing that point otherwise the inequality is not satisfied. In this case shade the half plane region that does not contain the point.
Step – 3: The shaded region is the required solution.

Solution of a system of linear inequalities in two variables:

Step – 1: Draw the graph of all lines.
Step – 2: Shade the appropriate region for each inequality.
Step – 3: The common region is the required solution.

Activity-8
Text Organisation
Answer the following questions briefly:

Question (a)
The writer, after establishing the context, states his thesis ( main point) in the introduction what is their thesis?
Answer:
As even a cursory glance at Saturday morning, cartoon show reveals children are being exposed to a steady diet of violence and that of the prime-time shows their parents so eagerly watch.

Question (b)
In the body of his essay Provisor presents the examples that support his thesis. In what respect do the examples in the third paragraph differ from the examples presented in the second paragraph? And what different points are made by the writer in these two paragraphs?
Answer:
Children’s cartoons have traditionally contained much violence and this situation is considered normal. The coyote follows the road runner and after a1 little bit of time, he plunges to the ground. Elmer Fudd puts his shotgun into a tree where Bug Bunny is hiding. Bug bonds the barrel so that when Elmer pulls the trigger, the gun discharged into his face.

A dog runs after a wood pecker and unable to control it, it ships into the running saw and cut off into two halves (Paragraph-2). Provision presents these examples to solidify his stand. The examples in the second paragraph are glaringly different from the third paragraph. The traditional cartoons describes violence as an isolated happening but the newer men portray it as a normal condition of life.

Question (c)
What is the purpose of exemplification in the fourth paragraph?
Answer:
The purpose of exemplification in the fourth paragraph is that only/by violent action can the problems of the world be solved.

Question (d)
What does the Writer do in the concluding paragraph? Does he sum Up the points he has already made in the body of the essay (Paragraphs 2,3 and 4), or does he develop a new aspect of violence on TV?
Answer:
The writer, in the concluding paragraph, considers that the cartoon shows for children on Saturday morning provided that violence is superior to reason and that conflict and threats of violent death are acceptable norms of existence. This indicates that the writer simply sums up the points he has made in the body of the essay. (Paragraphs 2,3 and 4)

Activity-9
Understanding Patterns Of Exemplification

Exemplification is a writer’s device that is used to support his or her general assertions with specific examples. Examples serve to explain and clarify general statements, add interest, and convince the reader that what dies, writer, is saying is reasonable or valid. Now, study Text-B to the following question, all of them related to the use of examples.

Question (a)
How many examples does Provisor offer? What are they?
Ans.
Provisor offers five examples to solidify his stand. They
1. The Coyote chasing the road runner.
2. Elmor Feud puts his shotgun into a tree where Bug Bonny hides.
3. “The Godzilla Super-Ninety show.”
4. A dog chasing a woody woodpecker into a sawmill.
5. ‘‘Challenge of the super friends”.

Question (b)
Why does he use several examples, not a single example?
Answer:
The writer Norman Provisor makes use of several examples instead of a single one.. He uses this technique so as to emphasize his stand with varied violence in different areas.

Question (c)
Do the examples illustrate the full range of subjects?
Answer:
The examples illustrate the full range of the writer’s subject. He covers examples from various loses and the examples and also varied and appropriate.

Question (d)
While developing the examples, Provisor never loses sight of his main idea. Can you explain how this ‘has been done in Text-B?
Answer:
Provisor cites, examples in order to solidify his stand that children are provided an insight into violence through the Saturday morning cartoon shows. While doing this he does not lose sight of his main idea. He hints at the main idea everywhere and he sums up the examples- in the light of the main idea.

Text-B
By Norman Provisor Summary
Psychologists and communications experts have formulated scales to measure the dangers that come into American homes daily. Sociologists have discussed the possible effects of this situation on viewing the public. Children’s television at Saturday Morning cartoon reveals that children are being exposed to a steady and continuous diet of violence. Children’s cartoons have traditionally contained much violence which has been considered normal.

The coyote chases the roadrunner and finds himself standing in the mid-air over a deep chasm. Sometimes, he looks at the audience sadly and then plunges to the ground. Elmer Fuel puts his shotgun into a tree where Bugs Bunny is hiding Bugs bends the barrel so that when Elmer pulls the trigger, the sun discharges into his race. A dog chases a woody woodpecker into a sawmill and unable to stop, slides into the whirling blade of a circular saw.

As the scene ends, the two halves of the dog fell to the ground with a clatter. Godzilla, a prehistoric dinosaur who appears when called by his human companions, battles monsters that seem to appear everywhere. The plot every week, remains the same and-mix the monsters change. This show depicts a lot of violence. Another show “challenge of the super friends” is a weekly battle between the super friends which is the forces of God and the Hall of Doom which is the forces of evil.

Violence and evil are present everywhere in ‘this series. The Hall of Doom each week destroys cities and changes the conditions of our world. The superheroes, of course, set everything right, but the precarious child viewers of the show must know, even though it isn’t shown that many people are killed when the building fall and the tidal wave hits. The children learn that violence is superior to reason and that conflict and threats of violent death are acceptable conditions for existence.

Analytical outlines of the Text

• For the past five years, Television networks have attacked violent programs tremendously.
• Psychologists and communication experts have formulated scales to measure it.
• They have to measure the dangers of American homes every day.
• They focused their attention on children’s television.
• They observed children’s television at Saturday Morning cartoon.
• They observed that children are being exposed to a continuous diet Of violence.
• Actually, children’s cartoons have traditionally contained much violence.
• Their situation is Sddepted as’ normal.
• The coyote chases the road runner.
• He finds himself standing in midair over a deep chasm for a short time.
• He looks pathetically at the audience.
• Then he plunges to the grounds.
• Elmar Feud puts his shotgun into a tree.
• Bug Bunny was hiding there.
• The bug bends the barrel.
• So that Ether pulls the trigger.
• Hence, the gun discharged into, his face.
• A dog chases a woody woodpecker into a sawmill.
• It slides into the whirling blade of a circular saw.
• As the scene ends, the two halves of the dog rail to the ground with a clatter.
• The “Godzilla super-Ninety Show” is a good example of this.
• Every Saturday morning, Godzilla, a prehistoric dinosaur appears called by his human companions.
• This battle monsters seem to appear everywhere:
• The plot remains the same every week.
• Every week, the monsters only change.
• Another show is about the “Challenge of the Super Friends”.
• It is a Weekly battle between the super friends and the Hall of Doom.
• The super friends refer to the forces of God.
• And the Hall of Doom refers to the forces of evil.
• Every week it destroys cities.
• It thus changes the condition of our world.
• The superheroes, actually, set everything right.
• The children learn that violence is superior to reason.
• Therefore, the conflict and threats of violent death are acceptable conditions for existence!

Introduction:
In this section, you will have the pleasure of reading an interesting article, ‘Psychobabble’. For the present, however, read-only its opening paragraph and guess what the article is about.

Psychobabble Summary in English

An unhappy man lies on a sofa. He is allowed to ramble on for an hour about thinking about something. He thinks about how an amount of $35 will be $30,000 after four or five years. It is actually, very odd. But people have been falling for it for a century. Freud invented Psychoanalysis in 1895. His research contributed enormously to the understanding of the subconscious. But it is obvious whether this analysis has any place in modern medical treatment.

Fraud and his co-worker’s ‘The Talking Cure’ was designed specifically to uncover the cause of hysterical symptoms and had a few successes. George Gershwin who was psychoanalyzed by doctors died, at the age of 39. Psychoanalysis was also administered as a cure for Schizophrenia and mental deficiency on which there was no effect at all. Woody Allen, a Western intellectual who is himself living proof that you can be analyzed until you are semicomatose and still end up with your personal life.

They believed that understanding will produce change which is highly doubtful. Any drunk driver who gets pulled over may well understand that he has behaved irresponsibly. But this understanding does not reduce the pleasure of drinking. It is considered a bad form to talk about what .you will achieve. The other thing that hooks people in the analysis is the phenomenon of transference. Psychoanalysts who expect and even encourage this will tell you it’s how the patient ultimately gets rid of those feelings.

In America, it was finally the Health Insurance Companies who called a halt to all this madness. The analysts were forced to admit that treatment was open-ended and the benefits uncertain. The dominant psychological problems are identified right from the start and a time limit is set for sorting them out. Learning from experiences is encouraged and strategies are worked out that will stop one from repeating self-destructive behavior. Most of our problems arise from making the same stupid mistake again and again.

Composition

Question 1.
Examine how far the title “Ballad of the Landlord” is justified.
Answer:
The poem “Ballad of the Landlord” has been composed by Langstone Hughes, a prominent and outstanding poet of America. He has written a large volume of poems. He is an outstanding master who provides very apt and suggestive titles to his poems. Actually, a colorful and attractive signboard automatically arrests the attention of the customer to the shops. Similarly, an apt and adequate, and suggestive title, automatically fascinates the reader and makes them spellbound to go through the poem.

The discussed poem “Ballad of the Landlord” presents the same powerful force to justify the title of his poem. In fact, the ballad is a narrative poem that tells the story of some event in the form of a verse. Here, the poem; tells about the complaints of a tenant and the action taken by the landlord on that issue.

However, going through the poem, we have marked that the tenant had already given information to the landlord a week ago as to the leakage in the house and the broken steps which needed immediate repair. He also tells the landlord that he would pay him his due often dollars rented money when the landlord would complete the repair work of the house.

On the other hand, the landlord becomes irritated and resorts to illegal means to evict the tenant from the house. He even threatens him to fist on his back and the tenant can’t utter a word against him. The landlord also cries, “Police ! Police .” to come and arrest the tenant with no fault of his. Therefore, the tenant is arrested on false charges. He is thrown to prison due to the unbailable offense’ leveled against him.

The next day it came out in the newspaper Headline “Man Threatens Landlord/ Tenant Held No Bail/ Judge Gives Negro 90 Days In Country Jail” As a matter of fact the poem is entirely apt ‘and justified. Although unjust still then the landlord is ‘fully involved in the development of the theme. Without the illegal action taken by the landlord, the event can’t be completed. On the whole, in spite of the negation and injustice, the poem makes us spellbound and amused. In fact, the title is proper and justified.

Question 2.
Write an appreciation of the poem, following the outlines: (theme deviant (unusual) language used response to the poem and your analysis of the sequence of events, in narration stanza by stanza effectiveness of the poem in communicating the intended ideas and feeling- the functions of the considered opinion. Landlord” is undoubtedly the best masterpiece of Hughes. It is, indeed, Hughe’s ‘protest’ poem that tells about the. the sobriety of the tenants contrasted with the high-handed attitude of the landlords who exploit and harass their tenants. This event has been generalized and even universalized. The first and second stanza deal with the complaints given by the tenant before to the landlord as to the leakage in the house and the broken steps. The tenant had already given
Answer:
In fact, the poem “Ballad of the information about it to the landlord a week before. But no action has been taken so far relating to the condition of the house and the steps. The third stanza tells about the tenant’s warning against the nonpayment of the ten dollars that he owed to the landlord. He declared that he. would not pay the sum till repair works are undertaken. The fourth stanza explains the landlord’s reaction to the tenant’s request for the repair of the house again and over again. He says that the tenant is going to get the eviction orders to leave the house very soon.

He also adds that the tenant is talking high and mighty. He never hesitates to say that the tenant can’t have to say anything if it is thrashed with a fist. In die concluding stanza, the poet says that the landlord shouts for the police who came and arrested the tenant for no fault of his. He is imprisoned. He was tried in the court which convicts him. He is put behind the bars. In fact, it is a unique poem. Because there is scarcely any poem that is grounded on the tenant-landlord relationship.

It gives a realistic picture of the society in which people like these still exist. It is extremely important in the sense that the personal event has been generalized and universalized.

Notes on the poet:

Haid as the poet of the Harlem (a district in New York with a large concentration of Black Americans) Langston Hughes (1902- 1967) is famous for works like “The Weary Blues” (1926), “One Way Ticket” (1949) and “The Panther and the Lashi” (1967). His poetry has a rhythm close to Jazz Music; it is characterized by conflicting changes …… sharp interjections, broken shy them. The poem “Ballad of the Landlord” is one of Hughes’s protest poems.

The Ballad As A Verse Form:
A ballad is a narrative poem that tells a story, or it can be said to be a story in verse. Both the ballad and the lyric arise in response to the same need, both are associated in their origin with the communal dance, but while the ballad has remained a wayside flower, the lyric gradually becomes an exotic product of conscious art. The term ballad is used now to cover a wide variety of verses, but the word originally signified a dance song and many ballads eloquent of love youth and the spring tide were sun the villagers at their feasting t0 a rhythmic measure.

What we have are the product of Saxon, the intensity of feeling, softened and lightened by Norman sentiment and grace; though the ballad measure is of ancient origin and probably dates from early medieval times. Its History Thus, the ballad is a narrative poem, associated in its origin with the communal dance, possessing no marks of authorship and the outcome of tradition among people free from literary influence.

As in the case of the lyric, one more gifted member of the tribe would compose the verse of the song, while the rest would chant the refrain. The bard would recite the exploits of the hero in battle or the leader himself might even do this and the surrounding warriors join in the primitive chorus. Such is the history of the ballad not only in England but as recent investigations have shown, it can be paralleled in the unwritten literature of every savage race.

The term ballad has, however, been loosely applied to all poems written in what I know as “ballad meter”; what is, four-line stanzas technically described as iambic tetrameter and iambic trimetre, hence the term often includes poems that are real I “artificial ballads” in as much as they imitate the artless, simple, narrative form of the original literary prototypes, but which sin they are not the outcome of the condition which produced them are hot to be classed with them. “Conditions favorable to the making of such poetry ceased to be general after the fifteenth century”.

The charm of the ballad lies in its native, simplicity and primitive feeling. To call it artless, as some do, is a mistake, for it has its own rules of diction, its tricks of phrasing, and conventional refrains. But it has the case and sincerity of genuine poetry and is deep-rooted in its love of Earth and primal human qualities.

Anita: Lower death rate! Aren’t people dying now? You’ll see in the papers hundreds of people are dying every day.
Banita: No, no. People are dying but their number is eye-catching due to the high population and media network.
Anita: Do you think that the death rate has really come down?
Banita: Is there doubt about it? The death rate is very much lower than before. Thousands of people were dying of starvation, Cholera, and Smallpox in the past. But we don’t see these diseases active now. A number of villages were having mass funerals with the approach of such a disease.
Anita: You’re quite right Banita. This was a usual case that is not seen these days. Thank you.

The Case Against Man Summary in English

Section – D
Part – One

Summary:
The first mistake is to think of man as a thing in itself. It is, however, a part of an intricate problem of life. Life gets its energy from the sun. Five billion years back, the earth had undergone a vast revolution. On its first appearance, it lacked an ocean and an atmosphere. Far within the solid crust, there are slow continual changes whose hot springs, volcanoes, and earthquakes are the more noticeable manifestations here on the surface.

Portions of the surface water with solar radiation developed complicated compounds called ‘life’. It has assumed a complex proportion. But, life forms are as much part of the structure of the Earth as any inanimate portion is. It is all an inseparable part of a whole if any animal is isolated totally from other forms of life, and death by starvation will surely follow. If isolated from water, death by dehydration will follow even faster.

If isolated from air, death by asphyxiation will take place. Isolation from the sun will bring death to the animal world. The inanimate portion also suffers. The entire planet and solar system are closely interrelated. A planet is a life form made up of nonliving portions. For instance, a man is composed of 50 trillion cells of a variety of types, all interrelated and interdependent.

Part – Two

Summary:
Sometimes, the neat economy of growth within an organism such as a human being is disrupted. The growing of a group of cells is stopped. If one type of organism began to multiply without limit killing its competitors, the same thing would happen in ecology. The earth’s human population is estimated to have been 150 million al the time of Julius Caesar. This population since then has been on the rise. It is really an alarming proportion.

The current increase of the human population qualifies Homo Sapiens as ecological cancer. However, this cancerous growth must be stopped. It can be done by raising the death rate or towering the birth rate. There is no other alternative. If we do nothing, the death rate will rise fabulously. Lowering the birth rate is surely the preferable way.

Reacting To The Ideas In The Text

• Art is superior to speech because it transmits feelings as well as thoughts because a man transmits his thoughts to another by words but by art, he transmits his feelings.
• Tolstoy speaks of the essential elements of art in paragraph 5 but seems to contradict himself in the next paragraph. The views presented in these two paragraphs can, however, be concealed.
• The analogy between the boy who encounters- a wolf and the artist who recreates his emotions in a work of art is now appropriate because the feelings and emotions are equally infected with one another.
• The writer begins his essay by saying that art should not be considered “as a means to pleasure” but should be considered “as one of the conditions of human life”. And he has proved this in his essay taking suggestive examples from various lores of life.

What is Art? Summary in English

Section – B
Part – One
Read below the first paragraph of Leo Tolstoy’s “What is Art ?” and try to guess the writer’s purpose.
In order to define art correctly it is necessary first of all to cease to consider it as a means to pleasure and to consider it as one of the conditions of human life viewing it in this way, we can’t fail to observe that art is one of the means of intercourse between man and man. Now read part one of Text B and note how Tolstoy develops his idea of art across the paragraph.

Summary:
Leo Tolstoy defines art to cease to consider it as a means to pleasure and to consider it as one of the conditions of human life. Art is an intercourse between man and man. The receiver of every work of art enters into a certain kind of relationship both with him who produced or is producing the art and with all those who simultaneously, previously or subsequently receive the same artistic impression, speech transmitting the thoughts and experiences of man serve as a means of union among them and art serves a similar purpose.

A man communicates himself with another by means of words and by it he transmits his feelings. A man shares his feelings by listening to another man. When one man laughs, another becomes merry to hear it. But when a man cries, another feels sorry. A man is excited or irritated and another man who sees him is brought to a similar state of mind by his movements or by the sounds of his voice. A man expresses courage and determination or sadness and calmness and this state of mind passes on to others.

A man suffers expressing his suffering through groans and spasms and this suffering transmits itself to other people. A man expresses his feelings of admiration, devotion, fear, respect, or love to certain objects, persons, or phenomena and others infected by the same feelings of administration, devotion, fear, respect or love to some objects, persons or phenomena. Art begins when one person expresses his feelings by certain external indications in order to join others or others.

For instance, a boy having experienced fear of encountering a wolf relates the encounters, and in order to evoke in others the feelings he has experienced describes his conditions before the encounter, the surrounding of the world, his own lightheartedness, and then, the wolf’s appearance, its movements, the distance between himself and the wolf and so forth. If only the boy when telling the story again experiences the feelings he has lived through and infects the heart and compels them to feel that he had experienced is art.

It is also art if a man having experienced either the fear of suffering or the attraction of enjoyment expresses these feelings on canvas or in marble so that others are infected by them. It is again art of a man who feels or imagines to himself feelings of delight gladness, sorrow, despair, courage or despondency and the transition by sounds from me to another of those feelings and expresses them by sounds so that the hearers are inflected by them and experience them as they were experienced by the composer.

Analytical outlines of the text:

• According to Leo Tolstoy, art is a means to provide pleasure.
• He also considers it as one of the conditions of human life.
• Art is an intercourse between man and man.
• The receiver of every work of art enters into a certain kind of relationship both with him.
• It is a relationship with him who produced or is producing the art.
• It relates to those who simultaneously, previously or subsequently receive the same artistic impression.
• Speeches transmitting the thoughts and experiences .of men serve as a means of union, among them and art serves a similar purpose.
• A man communicates himself with another by means of words and by it he transmits his feelings.

• A man shares his feelings by listening to another.
• One man laughs, and another becomes merry to hear it.
• One man cries and another becomes feel sorry.
• A man as excited or irritated.
• Another is brought to the same state by seeing it.
• He acquires it by his movements or the sounds of his voice.
• A man expresses his courage or determination.
• This state of mind passes to another.
• A man expresses his sadness or calmness.
• This state of mind passes to another.
• A man expresses his suffering through groans or spasms.
• It transmits itself to other people.
• A man expresses his admiration, devotion, fear, respect, and love to certain objects, persons or phenomena.
• Others are infected by the same feelings.
• Art begins when one joins others with the same feelings.
• For instance, a boy experiences of fear by encountering a wolf.
• He expresses this fear in order to evoke a feeling in others.

• He provides an elaborate description of it.
• He expresses the conditions before the encounter.
• He also expresses the surrounding of the words.
• He also expresses his distance from the wolf.
• On the other hand, he also expresses the wolf’s appearance, its movement, distance from him, etc.
• When he compels others to feel his experiences, it is called art.
• Hence, to be an art, the feelings of suffering and enjoyment should be infected by them.
• When a man feels or imagines those feelings of delight, gladness, sorrow, despair, etc. it is called art.
• Therefore, art refers to the transmission of the sounds of those feelings from one man to other so that one must be infected by them and also experiences them by themselves.

Meaning of difficult words:

simultaneously – happening at the same time.
previously – formerly.
subsequently – followingly.
intercourse – deal with, interact, and communicate.
transmit – sends, communicates.
groan – moan, lamentation.
spasms – muscular contraction, stiffness of muscles.

Text-B
Part – Two

Summary:
The feelings which the artist transmits to others are varied and many. Some are very strong and some are very weak, some significant and others insignificant, some very bad, and others very good. Patriotic love, self-devotion and yielding to fate or to God in drama, raptures of lovers in. a novel, voluptuousness in a picture, courage in triumphal marches, merriment in a dance, and humor in a funny story are all different forms of art. If the feelings of the author are transmitted to the spectators, they are deemed to be rightly infected.

Art is certainly a human activity that consists of external signs hands-on to other’s feelings he had lived through and that others are infected by these feelings and also experience them. The metaphysicians state that art is not the manifestation of some, mysterious idea of the beauty of God. Physiologists view a game in which man lets off his excess stored-up energy, is not man s expression of emotion by external signs. It is neither pleasure nor the production of pleasing objects.

Answer:
When young, we’re naturally creative if we let our minds run free but as we’re taught to follow the rules our thinking narrows. For much life, this can be a blessing. It wouldn’t do to create a new way home from work if it meant driving down the wrong side of the road. Fortunately, in many areas of our lives, creativity can be a matter of survival. Things are changing too fast to get along simply with old ideas. Half of what any technical engineer had learned ten years ago became obsolete in only three years. And what about our home lives ? With, however, more and more women opting, for careers and independence, couples have to be more creative about their relationship to avoid conflicts. But creativity is not all that mysterious. An important creative trait was well-defined by a Noble Prize-winning physician because he said, “Discovery consists of seeing what every day has been and thinking what nobody has thought.” But then, how we start ‘thinking what nobody has thought ?” usually it takes a week on the head- like Sir. Isaac Newton supposedly had when an apple striking his skull awakened him to the laws of gravity for instance, we’re more likely to respond to creativity which is today, think of a new idea because we have already been chipping away at the ‘mental blocks’ that close our minds.

i) What “Burnout” really means.
ii) What its three stages are, and
iii) If you have seen any example (s) of ‘burnout’.

Summary
Michael Lauderdale, Director of the ‘University of Texas School of Social Work’s Research Centre, who started studying burnout 10 years ago says about school teachers and full-time housewives with children at home. He believes that burnout comes when we have expectations of our jobs, careers, marriages, or lives and the reality we are experiencing is less than our expectations. People haven’t greater expectations now than in past. the author divides the symptoms of burnout into three stages.

First is confusion. The worker may have the voice of general complaints, chronic backaches, headaches, or colds. A worker may lose his sense of humor. He may seem inattentive in a discussion because of the list of things to do running through his mind; Moderate burnout is characterized by more illness and absenteeism in which workers seem to have gray faces at 3 p.ni. in the office, but after 5 p.m., it’s like a butterfly coming out of a cocoon which is a result of people compartmentalizing their lives.

Burnout in the third stage is termed despair. A person pulls into a shell and minimizes, work and social contacts as much as possible. There is depression and crying, an increase in drinking, risk-taking, and drugs. People can learn to improve their skills at recognizing burnout and at doing something about it. Lauderdale suggests. It is thought men suffer more than women, but I think men may have, more burnout on the job, while women get burned out on family life.

Activity-15

Understanding Diagrams In A Text:
Look at the three diagrams given in para 5 representing three kinds of thinking and briefly explain whether and if so, how the different elements in each diagram clarify description of the corresponding type of thinking given below the diagram.
Answer:

Diagram-1:
Thinking to achieve a purpose:
Classically this is problem-solving whether of the open or the closed variety. There is an endpoint. The thinker is trying to reach some destination.

Diagram-2:
Thinking for improvement:
A solution has already been reached. An answer is available. Things are going well. The thinken simply wants to do better.

Diagram-3:
Thinking around and about:
This in using free-wheeling, preparing the field, setting the context, exploring the situation, just as an intending purchaser might prowl around a house is to buy so the thinker prowls around the situation. There is no definite point of focus.

Activity-17
Understanding Text Organisation:

Extract the central idea of Text-D and Write a brief essay of about 300 words on how the other ideas in the text are related to the main idea.
Answer:
Thinking Time and the Solution of Problems: There is an ambivalent attitude towards thinking. Thinking a good thing. There are three kinds of thinking.

(1) Thinking to achieve a purpose: This is a problem solving whether of the dosed variety in which the thinker tries to each a destination.

(2) Thinking improvement: It is a solution already been reached to which an answer is available. The thinker simply wants to do better.

(3) Thinking around and about: It is musing, free wheeling, preparing the field, setting the context, exploring the situation. Just as an intending purchaser might prowl around a house he is to buy so the thinker prowls around the situation. There is no definite point 0f focus.

Thinking is not necessary after getting an appropriate solution. A solved problem is a part 0f whole string of problems. The thinker must be anxious to move on to the next problem. If we suspect that there may be a better solution then how can have full confidence in the one that has been found. How can confidence be inspired to carry out solutions. All the reasons for not thinking beyond the fet solution„ practica| and
realistic. It does not require an effort of will for it is no longer natural behaviour. A habit of some specific thinking time is required for that effort of will. After finding Out such a thinking time, then the agenda for mat thinking time follows.

However, the major use of thinking time comprises thinking around or about a situation or subject. A trivial type of problem-solving is regarded as an on going part of normal work. Time spent in musing is regarded as an investment. It can create an important new insight or specific idea. The maintenance of the thinking habit and exercise of thinking may give a valuable yield on future occasions. Sometimes, slow thinking is considered as the waste of time. Hence, wd should think quickly. But slow thinking is often much more. valuable than quick one. Other things are also involved in slow thinking. These can be unwillingness to make a decision, thinking as an excuse for an in action etc. Thinking has two levels of skill. Such as skill that resides in the tool itself and the skill that is concerned with how and where we use it.

Section D
Pre-reading Tips:
In this section you will have the chance to read an excerpt from Letters to Thinkers, a book written by Edward de Bono. Edward de Bono, who now owns and lives on a private island in Venice, is a leading authority in the field of creative thinking and is the originator of the term lateral thinking. He has written more than forty books in the field of creativity and thinking including the international bestsellers such as Lateral Thinking, Six Thinking Hats and Serious Creativity.

Lateral thinking is the core idea in all his writings. In de Bono’s view, the sequence of experiences in our life sets up certain familiar patterns of perception, certain typical ways of looking at things. And it is very difficult, if not impossible, to get out of these familiar patterns of thinking and to think in new ways and be creative.

De Bono says that we can get out of our familiar thought patterns by moving sideways across the acquired patterns (hence lateral thinking) and by imposing a new pattern of perception on the relevant bits of information. Lateral thinking thus refers to moving sideways across the familiar patterns instead of moving along them as in normal thinking, and thus facilitating generation of new patterns of perception and new thoughts. The diagram represents lateral thinking vis-a-vis normal thinking. With this background information at our disposal, we can start reading de Bono’s ‘A Time to Think’. But let’s quickly finish a small pre-reading Activity before going to the text.

A Time to Think Summary in English

Paragraph-1:
The USA based magazine Forbes was issued on 20th December 1982. It carried feature about the author and his thinking. He knew the topic properly well. Several businessmen were asked about their attitude to thinking. George Ball, the Chief Executive Officer, Prudential- Beche Securities said that he thought 10-15 minutes twice a day. Philip Knight, the Chairman, Nike Inc. did it one hour a day, three or four days a week. Robert O Anderson, the Chairman Atlantic Richfield did not set aside any regular time and found that travelling alone in a private air craft provided a great deal of thinking time. It was said that no specific time was devoted to thinking since a lot of thinking was taking place at every instant.

Paragraphs 2-4:
Actually, there was a natural difference between thinking of an intentional perseverance of will and maintenance of a habit. There is an ambivalent attitude towards thinking. Thinking is a good tiling A teacher thinking. Thinking is a good tiling A teacher to think like a student. There was time when we had less regard for a man who thought than for a man who appeared to know, all the answers.

Paragraph-5:
Three kinds of thinking have been identified in very general terms:
i) Thinking to achieve a purpose: Classically, this is problem-solving. It may be either open or closed type. There is an endpoint. The thinker is trying to reach some destination.

ii) Thinking for improvement: Here, a solution has always been reached. An answer is available. Thinking are going well. The thinker simply wants to do better.

iii) Thinking around and about: This is missing, free wheeling, preparing the field, setting the context, exploring the situation. Just as an intending purchaser might prowled around a house he is to buy, so the thinker prowls around the situation. There is no definite point of focus.

Paragraph-6:
Thinking is not necessary after getting a proper solution. A problem just solved may be only of a whole string of problems. The thinker is anxious to move on to the next problem. If we suspect that there may be a better solution, then how can one have full confidence in the one that has been found. How can confidence is inspired to carry out solution.

Paragraphs 7-8:
All the reasons for not thinking beyond to first solution and practical and realistic. Thinking beyond the first solution does not require an effort of will. It is no longer natural behaviour. The simplest way to make the effort of will is to establish a habit of specific thinking time. After the achievement of this thinking time, the agenda of other thinking time will follow.

Paragraph-9:
Thinking around or about a situation or subject happens to be the major use of thinking time. It is thinking time because problem-solving of the ordinary type would be regarded as an ongoing part of normal work. Time spent in amusing as regarded as an investment. An important new insight or specific idea may emerge from it. The maintenance of thinking habit and exercise of thinking may give a valuable yield on future occasions.

Paragraph-10:
Slow thinking seems to be a waste of time. So we should always think quickly. But slow thinking is often much more valuable than quick one. Other things are also involved in slow thinking. Sometimes further thinking may cloud the nice certainty of our first reactions. Thinking is k tool that involves two levels of skill. Skill .that resides in the tool itself and the skill that is concerned with how and where we use it.
