FORCE
EFFECTS OF FORCE
To define force first of all one has to see the effects of
force. By ‘effects of force’ we mean what force can do
or what changes a force can bring about.

Effects of Force :
A force can produce the following effects :
(i) A force can move a stationary body.
(ii) A force can stop a moving body.
(iii) A force can change the speed of a moving body.
(iv) A force can change the direction of a moving body.
A force produces an acceleration of 5.0 cm/s2 in a body
of mass 20g. Then find out the force acting on the body
in Newton.
Sol. Acceleration of the body, a = 5 cm/s = 0.05 m/s
Mass of the body, m = 20 g = 0.02 kg
 F = ma F = 0.05 × 0.02 = 10–3 N
2.
A force of 15 N acts on a body of mass 5 kg for 2s. What
is the change in velocity of body ?
(v) A force can change the shape (and size) of a body.
Sol. Given : F = 15 N , t = 2s , m = 5 kg
F = ma
Based on the effects of force, it may be defined as :
a=
Force is a pull or push, which changes or tends to
change the state of rest or of uniform motion of a body
or changes its direction or shape.
(a) Mathematical Representation of Force :
Mathematically, force F is equal to the product of mass,
m of a body and acceleration a, produced in the body
due to that force.
i.e. F = ma
Where a = final velocity – initial velocity/time

RESULTANT FORCE
Many forces may be simultaneously applied on a body,
for example- several persons may jointly make an effort
to move a heavy body, each person pushes it i.e. each
person applies a force on it. t is also possible that a
stronger man pushes that body hard enough and
produces same acceleration in it. f a single force
acting on a body produces the same acceleration as
produced by a number of forces, then that single force is
called the resultant force of these individual forces .
 F = ma  gram × cm/s2 = dyne
If m = 1 gram, a = 1 cm/s2, then F = 1 dyne
When a force is applied on a 1 gram body and the
acceleration produced in the body is 1 cm/s2 then the
force acting on the body will be one dyne.
(ii) In S.I. system :
F = ma  kg × m/s2 = Newton
If m = 1 kg and a = 1 m/s2 then by F = ma,
F = 1 × 1 = 1 kg × m/s2 = 1 Newton.
If a force is applied on a body of mass 1 kg and
acceleration produced in the body is 1 m/s2 then the
force acting on the body will be one Newton.

Relationship between the newton and dyne
1 N = 1 kg × 1 m s–2
= 1000 g × 100 cm s–2
= 100000 g cm s–2
= 105 dyne
BALANCED AND UNBALANCED FORCES
Suppose a toy car can move on its wheels along eastwest direction. If we push the car with our left hand, it
moves towards east. If we push the car with our right
hand, it will move towards west. If we push the car
with our left hand towards east and with right hand
towards west simultaneously, it is possible that the
car will remain at rest.n this case the forces balance
each other and there is no acceleration.
So if a set of forces acting on a body produces no
acceleration in it, the forces are said to be balanced
forces.f it produces a non-zero acceleration, the forces
are said to be unbalanced. If two forces balance each
other, they must be in opposite direction and have equal
magnitudes.
Thus 1 N = 105 dyne
PAGE # 1
as force of friction. If we increase the applied force and
the body is still at rest, it means force of friction also
increases till it is balanced by the applied force. The
force of friction is self adjusting force. On increasing
the applied force the force of friction will increase upto
a limit. t is known as limiting friction after it on increasing
the applied force, the body starts to move.
(a) Definition of Balanced Forces :
When two forces of equal magnitude are acting in opposite
directions on an object simultaneously, then the object
continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a
straight line. Such forces acting on the object are known
as balanced forces.
(b) Definition of Unbalanced Forces :
Force of friction is of two types.
When two forces of unequal magnitudes are acting in
opposite directions on an object simultaneously, then
the object moves in the direction of a large force. These
forces acting on the object are known as unbalanced
forces.
(i) Static Friction :
The magnitude of static friction is equal and opposite
to the external force exerted, till the object at which
force is exerted, is at rest. This means it is a variable
and self adjusting force. However it has a maximum
value called limiting friction.
fs(max) = s N
SOME COMMON FORCES
The actual force of static friction may be smaller than
sN and its value depends on other forces acting on
the body. the magnitude of frictional force is equal to
that required to keep the body at relative rest.
0  fs  fs(max)
(a) Contact Force :
When a body A is in contact with body B, A can exert
force on B and B can exert force on A, these forces are
called contact forces. Push or pull by a person, force
by wind, force by a weight on the head of a porter etc,
are the examples of contact forces.
(ii) Kinetic Friction :
The magnitude of the kinetic friction is proportional to
the normal force acting between the two bodies. We
can write
fk  N
fk = k N
(b) Normal Force:
If the contact forces between the bodies are perpendicular
to the surfaces in contact, then the forces are known
as normal forces.
Eg. : Consider a book on a table. The table pushes the
book upwards and book pushes the table downwards,
these forces are perpendicular to the surfaces of book
and table. Thus the table applies a normal force on
book in the upward direction and book applies a normal
force on table in downward direction.
Where N is normal force. The proportionality constant
k is called the coefficient of kinetic friction and its value
depends of the nature of the two surfaces in contact. If
the surfaces are smooth k will be small, if the surfaces
are rough k will be large. It also depends on the
materials of the two bodies in contact.

Here s and k are proportionality constants. s is called
coefficient of static friction and k is called coefficient
of kinetic friction. They are dimensionless quantities
and independent of shape and area of contact. It is a
property of the two contact surfaces.
(c) Force of Friction :
Two bodies placed in contact can also exert forces
parallel to the surfaces in contact, such a force is called
force of friction or simply friction.

force by earth
Suppose a body is placed on the table following three
forces act on it :

Force by earth in downward direction.

Normal force due to table in upward direction.

Applied force towards right.
NOTE :

s is always greater then k for a given pair of surfaces.
If it is not mentioned, then s = k can be taken.
The value of  can be from 0 to1.
Following graph shows the variation of frictional force
with applied force.The actual value of  depends on
the degree of smoothness and other environmental
factors.
Eg. : Wood may be prepared at various degress of
smoothness and the coefficient of friction will vary.
Body is not moving, so all the forces must be balanced.
Normal force by table and force by earth are balanced
with each other.To balance the applied force there must
be an equal and opposite force. This force in known

(d) Force Exerted by Spring :
(f) Tension :
A spring is made of a coiled metallic wire having a
definite length. When it is neither pushed nor pulled
then its length is called natural length. At natural length
the spring does not exert any force on the objects
attached to its ends.f the spring is pulled at the ends,
its length becomes larger than its natural length, it is
known as stretched or extended spring. Extended
spring pulls objects attached to its ends.
Tension is the magnitude of pulling force exerted by a
string, cable, chain, rope etc. W hen a string is
connected to a body and pulled out, the string said to
be under tension. It pulls the body with a force T, whose
direction is away from the body and along the length of
the string. Usually strings are regarded to be massless
and unstretchable, known as ideal string.

 Note : (i) Tension in a string is an electromagnetic
force and it arises only when string is pulled. If a
massless string is not pulled, tension in it is zero.
(ii) String can not push a body in direct contact.

CONSERVATIVE AND NON-CONSERVATIVE FORCE
Force on B
Force on A
(a) Conservative Force :
B
A
Compressed spring
If the spring is pushed at the ends, its length becomes
less than natural length. It is known as compressed
spring. A compressed spring pushes the objects
attached to its ends.
A force is said to be conservative if the amount of work
done in moving an object against that force is
independent of how the object moves from the initial
position to the final position.
One important example of conservative force is the
gravitational force. It means that amount of work done
in moving a body against gravity from location A to
location B is the same whichever path we may follow
in going from A to B. This is illustrated in figure.

(e) Weight :
The earth attracts all the bodies towards its centre.The
force exerted by the earth on the body is known as the
weight of the body .It acts in vertically downward
direction. These forces are not contact forces.
If mass of the body is m and gravitational acceleration is g,
then the weight of the body will be mg, here g = 9.8 m/s2.
This definition illuminates an important aspect of a
conservative force viz. Work done by a conservative
force is recoverable. Thus in figure, we shall have to
do mgh amount of work in taking the body from A to B.
However, when body is released from B, we recover
mgh of work.
Other examples of conservative forces are spring force,
electrostatic force etc.
(b) Non-Conservative Force :
A force is non-conservative if the work done by that force
on a particle moving between two points depends on
the path taken between the points.
PAGE # 3
The force of friction is an example of non-conservative
force. Let us illustrate this with an instructive example.
Suppose we were to displace a book between two points
on a rough horizontal surface (such as a table). If the
book is displaced in a straight line between the two points,
the work done by friction is simply FS where :
v
v
(c)
F = force of friction ;
If the other side is made horizontal, the ball will never
stop because it will never be able to reach the same
height, it means its speed will not decrease. It will
have uniform velocity on the horizontal surface. Thus, if
unbalanced forces do not act on a body, the body will
either remain at rest or will move with a uniform velocity.
It will remain unaccelerated.
S = distance between the points.
However, if the book is moved along any other path
between the two points (such as a semicircular path),
the work done by friction would be greater than FS.
Finally, if the book is moved through any closed path,
the work done by friction is never zero, it is always
negative. Thus the work done by a non-conservative
force is not recoverable, as it is for a conservative force.
GALILEO’S EXPERIMENTS

Newton concluded the idea suggested by Galileo and
was formulated in the laws by Newton.
NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION
Experiment 1 :
It was observed by Galileo that when a ball is rolled
down on an inclined frictionless plane its speed
increases, whereas if it is rolled up an inclined
frictionless plane its speed decreases .If it is rolled on
a horizontal frictionless plane the result must be
between the cases describe above i.e. the speed
Every body remain in its state of rest or uniform motion
in a straight line unless it is compelled by some external
force.
It means a body remain unaccelerated if and only if,
the resultant force on it is zero.
In such a case the body is said to be in equilibrium.
should remain constant. It can be explain as :
INERTIA
(a) Definition of Inertia :
The tendency of the body to oppose the change its
states of rest or uniform motion in a straight line is
called inertia. Newton’s first law of motion is also called
law of inertia.
(b) Description :
v’
v
v’ = v
moving down : speed increases moving up : speed
decreases moving horizontal : speed remains constant
It follows from first law of motion that in absence of any
external force, a body continues to be in its state of rest
or in uniform motion along a straight line. In other
words, the body cannot change by itself its position of
rest or of uniform motion.
Experiments 2 :
(c) Inertia Depends upon Mass :
When a ball is released on the inner surface of a
smooth hemisphere, it will move to the other side and
reach the same height before coming to rest
momentarily. f the hemisphere is replaced by a surface
shown in figure(b) in order to reach the same height
the ball will have to move a larger distance.
We know that it is difficult to move a heavier body than
the lighter one. Similarly it is difficult to stop a moving
heavier body than a lighter body moving with the same
velocity. Thus, we conclude that mass of the body is
the measure of inertia, more the mass, more the
inertia.
TYPES OF INERTIA
There are three types of Inertia which are :
h
h
(a)
(b)
(a) Inertia of Rest :
The tendency of the body to oppose the change in its
state of rest when some external unbalance force is
applied on it, is called the inertia of rest.
PAGE # 4
Example based on Inertia of rest :
A person sitting in a bus falls backwards when the bus
suddenly starts. The reason is that lower part of his
body begins to move along with the bus but the upper
part of his body tends to remain at rest due to inertia of
rest.
(b) Inertia of Motion :
The tendency of the body to oppose its state of motion
when some unbalance forces are applied on it, is
called the inertia of motion.
Example based on Inertia of motion :
A man carelessly getting down a moving bus falls
forward, the reason being that his feet come to rest
suddenly, whereas the upper part of his body retains
the forward motion.
Definition of force from first law of motion :
According to first law of motion, if there is no force, there
is no change in state of rest or of uniform motion. In
other words, if a force is applied, it may change the state
of rest or of uniform motion. If the force is not sufficient,
it may not produce a change but only try to do so. Hence
force is that which changes or tries to change the state
of rest or of uniform motion of a body in straight line.
MOMENTUM
Definition :
Momentum of a particle may be defined as the quantity
of motion possessed by it and it is measured by the
product of mass of the particle and its velocity.
Momentum is a vector quantity and it is represented
(c) Inertia of Direction :

The tendency of a body to oppose any change in its
direction of motion is known as inertia of direction.

Unit of momentum :
Tie a stone to one end of a string and holding other
end of the string in hand, rotate the stone in a horizontal
circle. If during rotation, the string breaks at certain
stage, the stone is found to fly off tangentially at that
point of the circle.

(In M.K.S. system)  p = mv  kg × m/s = Newton × s

PAGE # 5
(c) Kilogram Force (kgf) :
NEWTON’S SECOND LAW OF MOTION
Kilogram force (kgf) or Kilogram weight (kg. wt.) is force
with which a mass of 1 kg is attracted by the
earth towards its centre.
1kgwt = 1kgf = 9.8 N
The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly
proportional to the applied unbalanced forces i.e. Rate
of change of momentum  Force applied
(d) Gram Force (gf) :
Gram force or gram weight is the force with which a
mass of 1 gram is attracted by the earth towards
its centre.
1gwt = 1gf = 981 dyne
Let a body is moving with initial velocity u and after applying
a force F on it, its velocity becomes v in time t.
Initial momentum of the body p1 = mu
Final momentum of the body p2 = mv
Change in momentum in time t is mv – mu
So rate of change of momentum =
F
m( v – u)

But according to Newton’s second law,

Abou both the units are called gravitational unit of force.
We know :
1 N = 1kg × 1ms-2
or 1 N = 1000 g × 100 cms-2
or 1 N = 105 g cms-2 = 105 dyne
 1 N = 105 dyne

So Fma
or F = kma (Here k is proportionality constant.
If 1N force is applied on a body of mass 1 kg and the
acceleration produced in the body is 1 m/s 2, then
1 = k × 1 × 1 or k = 1
Hence,
F = ma
So the magnitude of the resultant force acting on a
body is equal to the product of mass of the body and
the acceleration produced. Direction of the force is
same as that of the acceleration.

A force of 20N acting on a mass m1 produces an
acceleration of 4 ms–2. The same force is applied on
mass m2 then the acceleration produced is 0.5 ms–2.
What acceleration would the same force produce, when
both masses are tied together ?
Sol. For mass m1: F = 20N, a = 4 ms–2
then
m1 =

(a) In C.G.S. System :
 F = ma  gm × cm/s2 = Dyne
IMPULSE OF FORCE
Definition of one dyne :
If m = 1 gm, a = 1 cm/s2, then F = 1 dyne.
When a force is applied on a body of mass 1 gram and
the acceleration produced in the body is 1 cm/s2, then
the force acting on the body will be one dyne.
(b) In S.I. System :
A large force acting for a short time to produce a finite
change in momentum is called impulsive force.
The product of force and time is called impulse of force.
i.e., Impulse = Force × Time
or
I = Ft
F = ma  kg × m/s = Newton
The S.I. unit of impulse is Newton-second (N-s) and
the C.G.S unit is dyne- second (dyne-s)
Definition of one Newton :
Impulse and Momentum :
2
If m = 1 kg and a = 1 m/s2 then by, F = ma
F = 1 × 1 = 1 kg × m/s2 = 1 N.
If a force is applied on a body of mass 1 kg and
acceleration produced in the body is 1 m/s2, then the
force acting on the body will be one Newton.
From Newton’s second law of motion
Force, F =
p 2  p1
t
or Ft = p2 – p1
i.e., Impulse = Change in momentum
This relation is called impulse equation or momentumimpulse theorem. It has an important application in
our everyday life.
PAGE # 6
IMPULSE DURING AN IMPACT OR COLLISION
ANY PAIR OF EQUAL AND OPPOSITE FORCES IS
NOT AN ACTION–REACTION PAIR
The impulsive force acting on the body produces a
change in momentum of the body on which it acts. We
know, Ft = mv – mu, therefore the maximum force
needed to produce a given impulse depends upon
time. If time is short, the force required in a given
impulse or the change in momentum is large and viceversa.
Consider a book kept on a table. We have seen that
the table pushes the book in the upward direction. Then
why does not the book fly up? It does not fly up because
there is another force on the book pulling it down. This
is the force exerted by the earth on the book, which we
call the weight of the book. So, there are two forces on
the book– the normal force, N acting upwards, applied
by the table and the force, W acting downwards,
applied by the earth. As the book does not accelerate,
we conclude that these two forces are balanced. In
other words, they have equal magnitudes but opposite
directions.
NEWTON’S THIRD LAW
(a) Statement :
The law states that “ To every action there is an equal
and opposite reaction“. Moreover, action and reaction
act on different bodies.
(b) Demonstration :
N
Two similar spring balances A and B joined by hook as
shown in the figure. The other end of the spring
balance B is attached to a hook rigidly fixed in a rigid
wall.
N=W
V
V
V
Can we call N the action and W the reaction ? We
cannot. This is because, although they are equal and
opposite, they are not forces applied by two bodies on
each other. The force N is applied by the table on the
book, its reaction will be the force applied by the book
on the table. Weight W is the force applied by the earth
on the book, its reaction will be the force applied by the
book on the earth.
So, although N and W are equal and opposite, they do
not form an action–reaction pair.
Demonstration- Newton’s third law of motion
The other end of the spring balance A is pulled out to
the left. Both balances show the same reading (20 N)
for the force.
The pulled balance A exerts a force of 20N on the
balance B. It acts as action, B pulls the balance A in
opposite direction with a force of 20 N. This force is
known as reaction.
We conclude that action-reaction forces are equal and
opposite and act on two different bodies.
PRINCIPLE OF CONSERVATION OF LINEAR MOMENTUM
NO ACTION IS POSSIBLE WITHOUT REACTION
By Newton’s second law, the rate of change of
momentum is equal to the applied force.
Examples :
Change in momentum
= Force
time
(i) A nail cannot be fixed on a suspended wooden ball.
Change in momentum = F × t
If F = 0
then,
(ii) A paper cannot be cut by scissors of single blade.
(iii) A hanging piece of paper cannot be cut by blade.
Change in momentum = 0
(iv) Writing on a hanging page is impossible.
If the force applied on the body is zero then its
momentum will be conserved, this law is also
applicable on the system. If in a system the momentum
of the objects present in the system are P1, P2, P3...........
and external force on the system is zero, then–
P1 + P2 + P3 +................. = Constant
(v) Hitting on a piece of sponge does not produce
reaction. You do not enjoy hitting.
ACTION AND REACTION ARE NOT BALANCED
Action and reaction, though equal and opposite are
not balanced because they act on two different bodies.
In case when they act on two different bodies forming
a single system, they become balanced.

NOTE : If only internal forces are acting on the system
then its linear momentum will be conserved.

By Newtons third law, F1 = –F2
the momentum of a rocket before it is fired is zero.
When the rocket is fired, gases are produced. These
gases come out of the rear of the rocket with high speed.
The direction of the momentum of the gases coming
out of the rocket is in the downward direction. Thus, to
conserve the momentum of the system i.e., (rocket +
gases), the rocket moves upward with a momentum
equal to the momentum of the gases. So, the rocket
continues to move upward as long as the gases are
ejected out of the rocket. Thus a rocket works on the
basis of the law of conservation of momentum.

called static, otherwise dynamic.
Static equilibrium can be divided into following three
types :
When the trigger (T) is pressed, the bullet is fired due to
internal force of explosion of powder in cartidge inside.
The bullet moves forward with a high velocity and the gun
move behind (recoils) with a lesser velocity.
(a) Stable equilibrium :
If on slight displacement from equilibrium position a
body has a tendency to regain its original position it is
said to be in stable equilibrium. In case of stable
equilibrium potential energy is minimum and so center
of gravity is lowest.

and so center of gravity remains at constant height.

CENTRE OF GRAVITY (C.G.)
It is a point inside or outside the body at which the
whole weight of the body is supposed to be acting.

STRUCTURE OF ATOM
DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY
ELECTRON
Electrons are the fundamental particles of all
substances.
In 1808 John Dalton proposed atomic theory of
matter, assuming atoms are ultimate indivisible
particles of matter based on the law of conservation
(a) Cathode Rays - Discovery of Electron :
of mass and law of definite proportion.
The nature and existence of electron was established
by experiments on conduction of electricity through
gases.
The important points of Dalton’s theory are (i) Elements consist of small indivisible particles
called atoms and atoms take part in chemical
reactions.
(ii) Atoms of same element are alike in all respect.
(iii) Atoms of different elements are different in all
respect.
(iv) Atoms cannot be created or destroyed.
(v) Atoms combine in a fixed, small, whole number to
form compound atoms called molecules.

Note :
The term “ Element “ was coined by Lavoisier.
(a) Merits :
(i) Dalton’s theory explains the law of conservation of
mass (point iv) and law of constant proportion (point v).

Note :
In 1859, Julius Plucker started the study of conduction
of electricity through gases at low pressure in a
discharge tube.
A number of interesting things happen when a high
voltage (say, 10,000 V) is applied across the
electrodes of the discharge tube, and the pressure of
the gas inside the tube is lowered.
(i) When the pressure of the gas in the discharge
tube is at atmospheric pressure and a high voltage
is applied across the electrodes, nothing noticeable
happens. But as we lower the pressure and increase
the voltage, sparking or irregular streaks of light are
seen in the tube. This is called positive column.
(ii) As the pressure of gas is reduced further, the length
of the positive column reduces, a fine glow can be
seen at the cathode. The dark space or gap left
between the cathode and the positive column is
called the Faraday’s dark space.
(ii) Atoms of elements take part in chemical reaction
this is true till today.
(b) Demerits :
(i) The atom is no longer supposed to be indivisible.
The atom is not a simple particle but a complex one.
(ii) He could not explain that why do atoms of same
element combined with each other.
(iii) Atoms of the same element may not necessarily
be identical in all aspects.
There are a number of elements whose atoms
possess different masses. All these atoms of the
same element with same atomic number but different
mass number are called isotopes.
e.g. 1H1, 1H2, 1H3 are the three isotopes of hydrogen.
(iv) Atoms of different elements may not necessarily
be different in all aspects. There are a number of
elements whose atoms possess same mass
number. All these elements with different atomic
number but same mass number are called isobars.
e.g. 20Ca40 and 18Ar40 are isobars of each other.

(iii) They consist of negatively charged particles. When
the cathode rays pass through an electric field, they
bent towards the positive plate of the electric field.
This indicates that cathode rays are negatively
charged.
(iii) When the pressure of gas is reduced to about 1
mm of Hg, the cathode glow moves away from the
cathode, creating a dark space between cathode and
the cathode glow. This dark space is called Crookes
dark space.
(iv) The Crookes dark space expands with further fall
in pressure at 0.1 mm of Hg. The positive column
gets split into a number of bands called striations.
(v) At pressure 0.01 mm of Hg or less, the striations
move towards the anode and vanish finally. At this
stage the glass tubes begins to glow at the end
opposite to the cathode. This phenomenon is called
fluorescence.
(iv) Cathode rays can affect the photographic plate.
Thus, some sort of invisible rays travel from the
negative electrode to the positive electrode. Since the
negative electrode is called cathode, these rays were
called cathode rays. The colour of glow depends upon
the nature of the glass used. For soda glass the

nature of gas used in discharge tube or material of
cathode.
(vi) Cathode rays are deflected in the magnetic field

fluorescence is of yellowish green colour.

(b) Properties of cathode rays :
(i) Cathode rays travel in a straight line at a high
velocity and generate normally from the surface of
the cathode. If an opaque object is placed in the path
of cathode rays its shadow falls on opposite side of
the cathode. It shows that cathode rays travel in
straight lines.

Note :
Cathode rays travel with very high velocities ranging

Note :
The negatively charged particles of cathode rays were
called ‘negatrons‘ by Thomson. The name negatron
was changed to ‘electron‘ by Stoney.
(ii) They are a beam of minute material particles having
definite mass and velocity. When a light paddle wheel
is placed in the path of the cathode rays, the blades
of the paddle wheel begin to rotate. This also proves
that cathode rays have mechanical energy.
(c) Characteristics of electron :
(i) Electrons are sub - atomic particles which
constitute cathode rays.
(ii) In 1897, J.J.Thomson determined the charge to
mass (e/m) ratio of electron by studying the deflections
of cathode rays in electric and magnetic fields. The
value of e/m has been found to be 1.7588 × 108
coulombs/g. The e/m for electrons from different
gases was found to be the same. This indicates that
atoms of all kinds have the same kind of negatively
charged particles. Thus electrons are the common
constituents of all atoms.

A cathode ray tube is used to measure the charge to
mass ratio of the electrons.

(iii) Charge on the electron :
The charge (e) on an electron was determined by
Robert Millikan in 1909. Millikan found the charge on
oil drops to be -1.6 × 10-19 C or its multiples. So, the
charge on an electron is to be -1.6 × 10-19 coulombs / unit.

= 1.673 × 10-24 g
(iii) Anode rays are deflected by magnetic or electric
field. In the electric field they get deflected towards
negatively charged plate. This indicates that these
rays are positively charged.
(iv) The anode rays affect photographic plate.


Note :
Anode rays are called canal rays because they pass
through the canals or holes of the cathode. These
rays are also called anode rays since they originate
from the anode side. Anode rays are produced from a

in the discharge tube containing hydrogen have e/m

particle. It was thus assumed that the positive
particles given by hydrogen represent fundamental

(a) Anode Rays (Canal rays) :
It has been established that electron is a negatively
charged particle and present in all the atoms. As an
atom is electrically neutral, there must be some
positively charged particles present in the atom to
neutralize the negative charges of the electrons. It
has been confirmed by experiments. Scientist
Goldstein in 1886 discovered the existence of a new
type of rays in the discharge tube. He carried out the
experiment in discharge tube containing perforated
cathode. It was observed that when high potential
difference was applied between the electrodes, not
only cathode rays were produced but also a new type
of rays were produced simultaneously from anode,
moving from anode towards cathode and passed
through the holes of cathode.

THOMSON MODEL OF AN ATOM
J.J. Thomson (1898) tried to explain the structure of
atom. He proposed that an atom consists of a sphere
of positive electricity in which electrons are embedded
like plum in pudding or seeds evenly distributed in
red spongy mass in case of a watermelon. The radius
of the sphere is of the order 10–8 cm.
Rutherford was able to explain these observations
as follows:
(i) Since a large number of -particles pass through
the atom undeflected, hence, there must be large
empty space within the atom.
(ii) As some of the -particles got deflected, therefore,
there must be something massive and positively
charged structure present in the atom.
(iii) The number of -particles which get deflected is
very small, therefore, the whole positive charge in the
atom is concentrated in a very small space.
(a) Merits :
(i) Thomson’s model could explain the electrical
neutrality of an atom.
(iv) Some of the -particles retracted their path i.e.
came almost straight back towards the sources as a
result of their direct collisions with the heavy mass.
(ii) Thomson’s model could explain why only
negatively charged particles are emitted when a metal
is heated as he considered the positive charge to be
immovable by assuming it to be spread over the total
volume of the atom.
(iii) He could explain the formation of ions and ionic
compounds.
(b) Demerits :
This model could not satisfy the facts proposed by
Rutherford through his alpha particle scattering
experiment and hence was discarded.
RUTHERFORD MODEL OF AN ATOM

(a) Rutherford’s Alpha Particle Scattering
Experiment (1909) :
Ernest Rutherford and his coworkers performed
numerous experiments in which - particles emitted
from a radioactive element such as polonium were
allowed to strike thin sheets of metals such as gold or
platinum.
(i) A beam of -particles (He2+) was obtained by placing
polonium in a lead box and letting the alpha particles
come out of a pinhole in the lead box. This beam of rays was directed against a thin gold foil (0.0004 cm).
A circular screen coated with zinc sulphide was placed
on the other side of the foil.
Note :
 - particles are made up of two protons and two
neutrons and are Helium (He) nuclei.
(b) Rutherford Nuclear Model of Atom (1911) :
Rutherford proposed a new picture of the structure of
atom.
Main features of this model are as follows(i) The atom of an element consists of a small
positively charged “Nucleus” which is situated at the
centre of the atom and which carries almost the entire
mass of the atom.
(ii) The electrons are distributed in the empty space
of the atom around the nucleus in different concentric
circular paths (orbits).
15
15
PAGE # 15
(iii) The number of electrons in the orbits is equal to
the number of positive charges (protons) in the
nucleus.
When the electron moves from inner to outer orbit by
absorbing definite amount of energy, the new state of
the electron is said to be excited state.
(iv) Volume of nucleus is very small as compared to
the volume of atom.
(v) Negatively charged electrons revolves around the
nucleus in circular path. The force of attraction
between the nucleus and the electron is equal to
centrifugal force of the moving electron.
Force of attraction towards nucleus = Centrifugal force
(v) Most of the space in the atom is empty.

Note :
Rutherford’s model is also called “Planetary model’.
(vi) Out of infinite number of possible circular orbits
around the nucleus, the electron can revolve only in
those orbits whose angular momentum is an integral
(c) Defects in Rutherford’s Model :
(i) Rutherford did not specify the number of electrons
in each orbit.
multiple of
(ii) According to electromagnetic theory, if a charged
particle (like electron) is accelerated around another
charged particle (like protons in nucleus) then there
would be continuous loss of energy due to continuous
emission of radiations. This loss of energy would
slow down the speed of electron and eventually the
electron would fall into the nucleus. But such a
collapse does not occur. Rutherford’s model could
not explain this theory.
(iii) If the electron loses energy continuously, the
observed spectrum should be continuous but the
actual observed spectrum consists of well defined
lines of definite frequencies. Hence the loss of energy
is not continuous in an atom.

Thus, the angular momentum is quantized. The
specified circular orbits (quantized) are called

RADII OF VARIOUS ORBITS
Radii of various orbits can be given by formula.
BOHR MODEL OF AN ATOM (1913)
To overcome the objections to Rutherford’s model
and to explain the hydrogen spectrum, Bohr proposed
a quantum mechanical model of the atom.
The important postulates on which Bohr’s model is
based are the following (i) The atom has a nucleus where all the protons are
present. The size of the nucleus is very small. It is
present at the centre of the atom.
(ii) Each stationary orbit is associated with a definite
amount of energy. The greater is distance of the orbit
from the nucleus, more shall be the energy associated
with it. These orbits are also called energy levels and
are numbered as 1, 2, 3, 4 ------or K, L, M, N ---- from
nucleus to outwards.
(iii) By the time, the electron remains in any one of the
allowed stationary orbits, it does not lose energy.
Such a state is called ground or normal state.
(iv) The emission or absorption of energy in the form
of radiation can only occur when an electron jumps
from one stationary orbit to another.
E = Efinal - Einitial = h
Where h is Planck’s constant (h = 6.625 × 10–34 Js)
Energy is absorbed when the electron jumps from
lower to higher orbit and is emitted when it moves
from higher to lower orbit.

In 1932, James Chadwick bombarded the element
beryllium with  - particles. He observed the emission
of a radiation with the following properties (i) The radiation was highly penetrating.
(ii) The radiation remained unaffected in the electric
or magnetic field i.e. the radiation was neutral.
(iii) The particle constituting the radiation had the same
mass as that of the proton. These neutral particles
were called neutrons.

Note :
The negative sign indicates that the electron is under
attraction towards nucleus, i.e. it is bound to the
nucleus.
The electron has minimum energy in the first orbit
and its energy increases as n increases, i.e., it
becomes less negative. The electron can have a
maximum energy value of zero when n =  . The zero
energy means that the electron is no longer bound to
the nucleus , i.e. , it is not under the force of attraction
towards nucleus.

An atom consists of two parts (a) Nucleus
(b) Extra - nuclear region
(a) Nucleus :
Nucleus is situated at the centre of an atom. All the
protons & neutrons are situated in the nucleus,
therefore, the entire mass of an atom is almost
concentrated in the nucleus. The overall charge of
nucleus is positive due to the presence of positively
charged protons (neutrons have no charge). The
protons & neutrons are collectively called nucleons.

Here v1, v2 and v3 are the velocities of electron in first,
second and third Bohr orbit in hydrogen.
In extra nuclear part or in the region outside the
nucleus, electrons are present which revolve around
the nucleus in orbits of fixed energies. These orbits
are called energy levels. These energy levels are
designated as K, L, M, N & so on.

QUANTUM NUMBERS
To describe the position and energy of electron in an
atom, four numbers are required, which are known
as quantum numbers.

(c) Magnetic quantum number
(d) Spin quantum number
(iv) Number of sub-shell in a shell = Principal quantum
number of shell.
(v) Maximum value of  is always less than the value
of n. So 1p, 1f, 2d, 2f, 3f subshells are not possible.
s will start from 1s
p will start from 2p
d will start from 3d
f will start from 4f

orbit or shell to which the electron belongs.
(iii) Higher is the value of ‘n’ , greater is the distance
of the shell from the nucleus.
r1 < r2 < r3 < r4 < r5 < ----
(vii) Subshells having equal values but with different n
values have similar shapes but their sizes increases
as the value of ‘n’ increases. 2s-subshell is greater in
size than 1s- subshell. Similarly 2p, 3p, 4p subshells
have similar shapes but their sizes increase in
order 2p < 3p < 4p.
(iv) Higher is the value of ‘n’, greater is the magnitude
of energy.
E1 < E2 < E3 < E4 < E5 ---(v) Maximum number of electrons in a shell is given
by 2n2.

(a) Significance of Electronic Configuration :
(c) Hund’s Rule of Maximum Multiplicity :
According to this rule :
“no electron pairing takes place in the orbitals with
equivalent energy until each orbital in the given
subshell contains one electron & the spins of all
unpaired electrons are parallel i.e. in the same
direction”.
The electronic configuration of an atom plays an
important role in determining the chemical behaviour
of an element.
(i) When the atoms of an element have completely
filled outermost shell, the element will be chemically
unreactive. For example the noble gases (He, Ne, Ar,
Kr, Xe and Rn) have completely filled outermost shell
i.e. contains 8 electrons (except helium which has
two valence electrons) in outermost shell.
(ii) When the atom of an element has less than 8
electrons in its outermost shell, the element will be
reactive.

VALENCE SHELL AND VALENCE ELECTRONS
The outermost shell of an atom is known as the
valence shell. The electrons present in the valence
shell of an atom are known as valence electrons.
The remainder of the atom i.e. the nucleus and other
electrons is called the core of the atom. Electrons
present in the core of an atom are known as core
electrons.
e.g.
The electronic configuration of the sodium (Na) atom
is :Na (11)
K
L
M
2
8
1
Thus, valence electron in Na atom = 1 and core
electrons in Na atom = 2 + 8 = 10
(b) Pauli’s Exclusion Principle :
According to Pauli’s exclusion principle “an orbital
cannot accommodate more than two electrons. If
there are two electrons in an orbital they must have
opposite spins.”
(a) Significance of Valence Electrons :
(i) The valence electrons of an atom are responsible
for, and take part in, chemical changes.
(ii) The valence electrons in an atom determine the
mode of chemical combination.
21
21
PAGE # 21
(iii) The valence electrons determine the combining
capacity or the valency of the atom. The number of
electrons in an atom that actually take part in bond
formation is known as the valency of the element.
e.g. In the carbon atom, there are four valence
electrons.
C(6)
K L
2 4
The carbon atom is capable of forming four bonds.
Hence, the valency of carbon is four.
VALENCY
Valency of an element is the combining capacity of
the atoms of the element with atoms of the same or
different elements. The combining capacity of the
atoms was explained in terms of their tendency to
attain a fully filled outermost shell (stable octet or
duplet)

(iv) If the outermost shell of an atom is completely
filled, its valency is zero.
The outermost shells of helium, neon, argon, krypton
etc. are completely filled. Hence the valency of these
elements is zero.
Valency of an element is determined by the number
of valence electrons in an atom of the element.
The valency of an element = number of valence
electrons (if the number of valence electrons is1 to 4)
The valency of an element = 8– number of valence
electrons. (if the number of valence electrons is 4 to 8)
(v) Elements having the same number of valence
electrons in their atoms possess similar chemical
properties.
e.g. All alkali metals have one valence electron in
their atoms. Hence, their chemical properties are
similar.
ISOTOPES
(vi) Elements having different number of valence
electrons in their atoms show different chemical
properties.
The isotopes of an element have the same atomic
number but different atomic masses.

e.g. Let us consider the electronic configuration of
alkali metals and halogens. Alkali metal atoms have
single valence electron whereas halogen atoms have
seven valence electrons. It is observed that the
chemical properties of the alkali metals are entirely
different from those of halogens.
(vii) The number of the valence shell in the atom of an
element determines the period number of the
element in the periodic table.
e.g. Sodium (Na) :
Valence shell number = 3.
period number = 3
Calcium (Ca)
Valence shell number = 4
period number = 4
(viii) Elements with 1, 2 or 3 valence electrons in their
atoms are metals.


Note :
The number of electrons gained, lost or contributed
for sharing by an atom of the element gives us directly
the combining capacity or valency of the element.
Note :
The term isotope was given by Margaret Todd.
The difference in their masses is due to the presence
of different number of neutrons.
e.g. Isotopes of hydrogen :

(a) Characteristics of Isotopes :
ISOBARS
(i) The physical properties of the isotopes of an
element are different. This is due to the fact that
isotopes have different numbers of neutrons in their
nuclei. Hence mass, density and other physical
properties of the isotopes of an element are different.
The atoms of different elements with different atomic
numbers, which have same mass number are called
isobars.
e.g.
(ii) All the isotopes of an element contain the same
number of electrons. So, they have the same
electronic configuration with the same number of
valence electrons. Since the chemical properties of
an element are determined by the number of valence
electrons in its atom, all the isotopes of an element
have identical chemical properties.

The word 'percentage' literally means 'per hundred'
or 'for every hundred.' Therefore, whenever we
calculate something as a part of 100, that part is
numerically termed as percentage.
In other words, percentage is a ratio whose second
term is equal to 100. i.e. 1 : 4 can be written as 25 : 100
or 25%, 3 : 8 can be written as 37.5 : 100 or 37.5%, 3 :2

In order to compare two given ratios, we follow the

Step-IV : Obtain first fraction and its denominator. Divide
NOTE :

a number x (say).
(i) The ratio of two numbers is usually expressed in its
simplest form.
Now, multiply the numerator and denominator of the
fraction by x. Apply the same procedure to the other

they must be expressed in the same units.
Ex.3 Compare the ratios, 7 : 6 and 4 : 9.
Sol. Writing the given ratios as fractions, we have
(iv) Since the ratio of two quantities of the same kind
determines how many times one quantity is contained
by the other. So the ratio of any two quantities of the
same kind is an abstract quantity. In other words, ratio
has no unit or it is independent of the units used in the
quantities compared.
(v) The order of the terms in a ratio a : b is very important.
The ratio 3 : 2 is different from the ratio 2 : 3.
Ex.1 Express the ratio 45 : 108 in its simplest form.
Sol. In order to express the given ratio in its simplest form
we divide its first and second terms by their HCF.
We have,
45 = 3 × 3 × 5 and 108 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3
So, HCF of 45 and 108 is 3 × 3 = 9

Wheat flour = 5 kg
Water = 1.5 kg
Sugar extract = 500 gm = 0.5 kg
Total weight of the mixture = 7 kg

Sol. Let the required number be x.
Then, 6 + x, 10 + x, 14 + x, 22 + x are in proportion.
 Product of extremes = Product of means

(6 + x) (22 + x) = (10 + x)(14 + x)
 132 + 6x + 22x + x2 = 140 + 10x + 14x + x2

PARTNERSHIP
Partnership : When two or more than two persons
run a business jointly, they are called partners and
the deal is known as partnership.
Ratio of Division of Gains :
(i) When investments of all the partners are for the
same time, the gain or loss is distributed among the
partners in the ratio of their investments.

Suppose A and B invest Rs.x and Rs.y respectively
for a year in a business, then at the end of the year :
(A’s share of profit) : (B’s share of profit) = x : y.
(ii) When investments are for different time periods,
then equivalent capitals are calculated for a unit of
time by taking (capital × number of units of time). Now,
gain or loss is divided in the ratio of these capitals.

Suppose A invests Rs.x for t1 months and B invests
Rs.y for t2 months, then
A ' s share in profit
B' s share in profit =
A' s amount  A' s time of investing of money
B' s amount  B' s time of investing of money

CONTROL AND COORDINATION
PLANT HORMONES/PHYTOHORMONES
Living organisms respond and react to their external
environment. Plants do not have any special structure
for perception of stimuli.
In plants control and coordination is performed by
chemical substances known as plant hormones or
phytohormone. Phytohormones are of five types namely
Auxins, Gibberellins, Cytokinins, Abscisic Acid (ABA)
and Ethylene.
(a) Auxin :
•
•
•
•
•
Indole acetic acid is the principal naturally occurring
auxin found in all plants including fungi.
Auxin initiate as well as promote cell division, cell
elongation, root formation.
Causes apical dominance and prevents abscission
layer.
Initiation of flowering.
Synthetic auxins are resistant to oxidation by enzymes
some are widely used to regulate various aspects of
plant development. They are more effective & have
greater stability than indole acetic acid (I.A.A).
e.g. 2, 4 - D
(b) Gibberellins :
•
•
•
•
Significant elongation of internodes.
Leaf expansion
• Reversal of dwarfism
Breaking dormancy
• Parthenocarpy
Flowering
(c) Cytokinin :
•
•
•
•
Promote cell division
Counteraction of apical dominance
Delay of senescence
Delay of senescence - Disappearance of chlorophyll
and degradation of proteins are two important
symptoms of senescence. Cytokinins delay these
processes & thus the senescence is also delayed.
This effect of cytokinins is known as Richmond - lang
effect.
(d) Ethylene :
•
•
•
Promotes fruit growth and ripening
Promotes seed germination
Promotes abscission of leaves, flowers and fruits.
(e) Abscissic Acid :
•
•
•
Promotes abscission, senescence, bud dormancy
Growth inhibition
ABA suppresses the growth promoting effects of
gibberellins and hence is also known as antigibberellins.
PLANT MOVEMENTS
Movement of plant towards the direction of stimulus is
called tropism. Bending of plant towards light is called
phototropism. Shoot of plants show positive
phototropism. Downward movement is in response to
gravitational force is called geotropism. Roots of plants
shows positive geotropisms, stems show negative
geotropism.
Such movements in plants which are caused by external
stimuli but are not directional are called nastic
movements (such as in touch-me-not plant). - Mimosa
pudica
PHOTOPERIODISM
Flowering and germination of seeds in plants is
controlled by duration of day light (photoperiod). This
phenomenon is called photoperiodism.
On the basis of length of photoperiod requirements of
plants, they have been classified into.
(i) Short day plants — Xanthium
(ii) Long day plants — Spinach, Radish
(iii) Day neutral plants — Cotton, sunflower
Response of plants to photoperiodic stimulus is due
to a specialized pigment phytochrome.
Fig : Requirement of light and dark periods during 24 hours for flowering in short day, long day and day neutral plants.

CONTROL AND COORDINATION IN ANIMALS
Animals receive external information through specialized structure called sense organs (receptors). These are
photoreceptors for light, phonoreceptor for sound and olfactoreceptors for smell. Control and coordination is achieved
by two systems (a) endocrine system (b)) nervous system

REFLEX ACTION AND REFLEX ARC
You must have experienced a sudden withdrawl of a body part which comes in contact with objects that are extremely
hot, cold, pointed or animals that are scary or poisonous. The entire process of response to a peripheral nervous
stimulation, that occurs involuntarily, i.e., without conscious effort or thought and requires the involvement of a part of
the central nervous system is called a reflex action.
Diagrammatic Presentation of Reflex Action (Showing Jerk Reflex)
PAGE # 43
Mammals show a wide range of reflexes which can be
broadly classified into two types : unconditioned and
conditioned reflexes.
(a) Unconditioned reflexes :
Even when the body has no past experience of a
stimulus it still responds spontaneously and such
responses or actions are called unconditioned
reflexes. These are responses to a natural
unconditioned stimulus. The examples of
unconditioned reflexes are the blinking of an eye when
a particle of dust touches the eyelids, excitement of the
salivary glands after seeing the food, etc. Other reflex
actions are shown in the Table.
These reflexes are said to be unconditioned or inborn
because they are a natural part of an animal’s make
up. Another class of reflex produced by the previous
experience of an animals is considered below.
(b) Conditioned reflexes :
When a reflex which does not naturally exist had
becomes a part of the animal behaviour. Such a reflex
is said to be conditioned. Conditioned reflex were first
demonstrated by the Russian physiologist, Pavlov. The
cerebrum controls the conditioned reflexes.

Differences between Unconditioned and Conditioned Reflexes
Unconditioned reflexes
1. Unconditioned reflexes are inborn (hereditary).
2. Learning does not form the basis of
unconditioned reflexes.
3. These are mainly protective in function.
Examples : Breast feeding and swallowing in
newly born babies, blinking of eyes, sneezing
and coughing and knee-jerk, etc.
Conditioned reflexes
1. Conditioned reflexes are acquired after birth.
2. Learning forms the basis of conditioned reflexes.
Examples : Withdrawal of limb when it is touched
by hot things, typing, riding a bicycle, knitting,
etc.

PRINT CULTURE AND THE MODERN WORLD
THE FIRST PRINTED BOOKS
The imperial state in China was, for a very long time,
the major producer of printed material. China
possessed a huge bureaucratic system which
recruited its personnel through civil service
examinations. Textbooks for this examination were
printed in vast numbers under the sponsorship of the
imperial state. From the sixteenth century, the number
of examination candidates went up and that increased
the volume of print.
This new reading culture was accompanied by a new
technology. W estern printing techniques and
mechanical presses were imported in the late
nineteenth century as Western powers established
their outposts in China. Shanghai became the hub of
the new print culture, catering to the Western-style
schools. From hand printing there was now a gradual
shift to mechanical printing.
the system. The first book he printed was the Bible.
About 180 copies were printed and it took three years
to produce them. By the standards of the time this was
fast production.
In the hundred years between 1450 and 1550, printing
presses were set-up in most countries of Europe.
Printers from Germany travelled to other countries,
seeking work and helping start new presses. As the
number of printing presses grew, book production
boomed. The second half of the fifteenth century saw
20 million copies of printed books flooding the markets
in Europe. The number went up in the sixteenth century
to about 200 million copies.
THE PRINTING REVOLUTION AND ITS IMPACT
(i)
Print in Japan: Printing of visual material led to
interesting publishing practices. In the late eighteenth
century, in the flourishing urban circles at Edo (later to
be known as Tokyo), illustrated collections of paintings
depicted an elegant urban culture, involving artists,
courtesans, and teahouse gatherings. Libraries and
bookstores were packed with hand-printed material of
various types-books on women, musical instruments,
calculations, tea ceremony, flower arrangements,
proper etiquette, cooking and famous places.
But the transition was not so simple. Books could
be read only be the literate and the rates of literacy
in most European countries were very low till the
twentieth century. How then, could publishers
persuade the common people to welcome the
printed book? To do this, they had to keep in mind
the wider reach of the printed work: even those
who did not read could certainly enjoy listening to
books being read out. So printers began
publishing popular ballads and folk tales, and such
books would be profusely illustrated with pictures.
These were then Bung and recited at gatherings
in villages and in taverns in towns.
PRINT COMES TO EUROPE
The Production of handwritten manuscripts could not
satisfy the ever-increasing demand for books. Copying
was an expensive, laborious and time-consuming
business. Manuscripts were fragile, awkward to
handle, and could not be carried around or read easily.
Their circulation therefore remained limited. With the
growing demand for books, wood block printing
gradually became more and more popular. By the early
fifteenth century; woodblocks were being widely used
in Europe to print textiles, playing cards, and religious
pictures with simple, brief texts.
There was clearly a great need for even quicker and
cheaper reproduction of texts. This could only be with
the invention of a new print technology. The
breakthrough occurred at 8trasbourg where Johann
Gutenberg developed the first-known printing press in
the 1430s.
Gutenberg and the Printing Press: Gutenberg adapted
existing technology to design his innovation. The olive
press provided the model for the printing press and
moulds were used for casting the metal types for the
letters ofthe alphabet. By 1448, Gutenberg perfected
A New Reading Public: Access to books created
a new culture of reading. Earlier, reading was
restricted to the elites. Common people lived in a
world of oral culture. They heard sacred texts read
out, ballads recited, and folk tales narrated.
Knowledge was transferred orally. People
collectively heard a story or saw a performance.
As you will see in Chapter 8, they did not read a
book individually and silently. Before the age of
print books were not only expensive but they could
not be produced in sufficient numbers. Now books
could reach out to wider sections of people. If
earlier there was a hearing public, now a reading
public came into being.
(ii)
Religions Debates and the Fear of Print : Print
created the possibility of wide circulation of ideas
and introduced a new world of debate and
discussion. Even those who disagreed with
established authorities could now print and
circulate their ideas. Through the printed
message, they could persuade people to think
differently, and move them to action. This had
significance in different spheres of life.
In 1517, the religious reformer Martin Luther wrote
Ninety Five Theses criticising many of the practices
and rituals of the Roman Catholic Church. A printed
PAGE # 46
copy of this was pasted on a church door in
Wittenberg. It challenged the Church to debate his
ideas. Luther's writings were immediately
reproduced in vast numbers and read widely. This
lead to a division within the Church and to the
beginning of the Protestant Reformation. Luther's
translation of the New Testament sold 5,000
copies within a few weeks and a second edition
appeared within three months. Deeply grateful to
print, Luther said, 'Printing is the ultimate gift of
God and the greatest one.' Several scholars, in
fact, think that print brought about a new intellectual
atmosphere and helped spread the new ideas
that led to the Reformation.
(iii) Print and Dissent : In the sixteenth century,
Manocchio, a miller in Italy, began to read books
that were available in his locality: he reinterpreted
the message of the Bible and formulated a view of
God and Creation that enraged the Roman
Catholic Church. When the Roman Church began
its inquisition to repress heretical ideas.
Manocchio was hauled up twice and ultimately
executed. The Roman Church, troubled by such
effects of popular readings and questionings of
faith, imposed severe cont over publishers and
booksellers and began to maintain an Index
rohibited Books from 1558.
THE READING MANIA
The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries literacy
rates went up in most parts of Europe. Churches of
different denominations set up schools in villages,
carrying literacy to peasants and artisans. By the end
of the eighteenth century, in some parts of Europe
literacy rates were is high as 60 to 80 per cent. As
literacy and schools spread in European countries,
there was a virtual reading mania. People wanted
books to read and printers produced books ever
increasing numbers.
Voltaire and Rousseau, they were also exposed to
monarchical and Church propaganda. They were not
influenced directly by everything they read or saw. They
accepted some ideas and rejected oth~rs. They
interpreted things their own way. Print did not directly
shape their minds, but it did open up the possibility of
thinking differently.
THE NINETEENTH CENTURY
(i)
Children, Women and Workers : A children's
press, devoted to literature for children alone, was
set up in France in 1857. This press published
new works as well as old fairy tales and folk tales.
The Grimm Brothers in Germany spent years
compiling traditional folk tales gathered from
peasants. What they collected was edited before
the stories were published in a collection in 1812.
Anything that was considered unsuitable for
children or would appear vulgar to the elites, was
not included in the published version. Rural folk
tales thus acquired a new form. In this way; print
recorded old tales but also changed them.
When novels began to be written in the nineteenth
century, women were seen as important readers.
Some of the best-known novelists were women:
Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, George Eliot. Their
writings became important in defining a new type
of women: a person with will, strength of
personality, determination and the power to think.
In the nineteenth century, lending libraries in
England became instruments for educating whitecollar workers, artisans and lower-middle-class
people. Sometimes, self-educated working class
people wrote for themselves. After the working day
was gradually shortened from the mid-nineteenth
century, workers had some time for selfimprovement and self-expression. They wrote
political tracts and autobiographies in large
numbers.
New forms of popular literature appeared in print,
targeting new audiences. Bookseller employed padlars
who roamed around villages, carrying little books for
sale. There we almanacs or ritual calendars, along
with ballads and folktale. But other forms of reading
matter, largely for entertainment, began to reach
ordinary readers as well. In England penny chapbooks
were carried by petty pedlars known as chapmen, and
sold for a penny, that even the poor could buy them. In
France, were the 'Biliotheque Blue', which were low
priced small books printed on poor quality paper and
bound in cheap blue covers. Then the were the
romances, printed on four to six pages and the more
substantial 'histories' whi were stories about the past.
Books were of various sizes, serving many different
purpose an interests.
(ii) Further innovations : By the mid-nineteenth
century, Richard M. Hoe of New York had perfected
the power-driven cylindrical press. This was
capable of printing 8,000 sheets per hour. This
press was particularly useful for printing
newspapers. In the late nineteenth century, the
offset press was developed which could print up
to six colours at a time. From the turn ofthe twentieth
century, electrically operated presses accelerated
printing operations. A series of other developments
followed. Methods of feeding paper reels and
photoelectric controls of the colour register were
introduced. The accumulation of several individual
mechanical improvements transformed the
appearance of printed texts.
There can be no doubt that print helps the spread of
ideas. But we must remember that people did not read
just one kind of literature. If they read the ideas of
Nineteenth century periodicals serialised
important novels, which gave birth to a particular
way of writing novels. In the 1920s in England,
popular works were sold in cheap series, called
PAGE # 47
the Shilling Series. The dust cover or the book
jacket is also a twentieth century innovation. With
the onset of the Great Depression in the 1930s,
publishers feared a decline in book purchases.
To sustain buying, they brought out cheap
paperback editions.
INDIA AND THE WORLD OF PRINT
(i)
Manuscripts before the Age of Print : India had a
very rich and old tradition of handwritten
manuscripts-in Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian, as well
as in various vernacular languages. Manuscripts
were copied on palm leaves or on handmade
paper. Pages were sometimes beautifully
illustrated. They would be either pressed between
wooden covers or sewn together to ensure
preservation. Manuscripts continued to be
produced till well after the introduction of print, down
to the late nineteenth century.
Manuscripts were not widely used in everyday life.
Even though pre-colonial. Bengal had developed
an extensive network of village primary schools,
students very often did not read texts. They only
learnt to write. Teachers dictated portions of texts
from memory and students wrote them down. Many
thus became literate without ever actually reading
any kinds of texts.
(ii) Print Comes to India : The printing press first came
to Goa with Portuguese missionaries in the midsixteenth century. Jesuit priests learnt Konkani and
printed several tracts. By 1674, about 50 books
had been printed in the Konkani and in Kanara
languages. Catholic priests printed the first Tamil
book in 1579 at Cochin and in 1713 the first
Malayalam book was printed by them. By 1710,
Dutch Protestant missionaries had printed 32
Tamil texts, many of them translations of older
works.
The English language press did not grow in India
till quite late even though the English East India
Company began to import presses from the late
seventeenth century.
Governor-General Warren Hastings persecuted
Hickey, and encouraged the publication of officially
sanctioned newspapers that could counter the flow
of information that damaged the image of the
colonial government. By the close of the eighteenth
century, a number of newspapers and journals
appeared in print. There were Indians, too, who
began to publish Indian newspapers. The first to
appear was the weekly Bengal Gazatte, brought
out by Gangadhar Bhattacharya, who was close
to Rammohan Roy.
RELIGIOUS REFORMS AND PUBLIC DEBATES
This was 'a time of intense controversies between
social and religious reformers and the Hindu orthodoxy
over matters like widow immolation, monotheism,
Brahmanical priesthood and idolatry. In Bengal, as the
debate developed, tracts and newspapers proliferated,
circulating a variety of arguments. To reach a wider
audience, the ideas were printed in the everyday,
spoken language of ordinary people. Rammohan Roy
published the Sam bad Kammaudi from 1821 and the
Hindu orthodoxy commissioned the Samachar
Chandrika to oppose his opinions. From 1822, two
Persian newspapers were published. Jan-i-Jahan
Nama and Shainsah Akhbar. In the same year, a
Gujarati newspaper, the Bombay Samachar; made its
appearance.
In north India the ulama were deeply anxious about
the collapse of Muslim dynasties. They feared that
colonial rulers would encourage conversion, change
the Muslim personal laws. To counter this, they used
cheap lithographic presses, published Persian and
Urdu translations of holy scriptures, and printed
religious newspapers and tracts. The Deoband
Saminary, founded in 1867, published thousands upon
thousands of fatwas telling Muslim readers how to
conduct themselves in their everyday lives, and
explaining the meanings of Islamic doctrines. All
through the nineteenth century, a number of Muslim
sects and seminaries appeared, each with a different
interpretation of faith, each keen on enlarging its
following and countering the influence of its oponents.
Urdu print helped them conduct these battles in public.
Religious texts, therefore, reached a very wide circle of
people, encouraging discussions, debates and
controversies within and among different religions.
Print did not only stimulate the publication of conflicting
opinions amongst communities, but it also connected
communities and people in different parts of India.
Newspapers conveyed news from one place to another
creating pan-Indian identities.
NEW FORMS OF PUBLICATION
Other new literary forms also entered the world of
reading-lyrics, short stories, essays about social and
political matters. In different ways, they reinforced the
new emphasis on human livel;l and intimate feelings,
about the political and social rules that shaped such
things.
By the end of the nineteenth century, a new visual culture
was taking shape. With the setting up of an increasing
number of printing presses, visual images could be
easily reproduced in multiple copies. Painters like Raja
Ravi Varma produced images for mass circulation. Poor
wood engravers who made woodblocks set up shop
near the letterpresses, and were employed by print
shops. Cheap prints and calendars, easily available
in the bazaar, could be bought even by the poor to
PAGE # 48
decorate the walls of their homes or places of work.
These prints began shaping popular ideas about
modernity and tradition, religion and politics and society
and culture.
(i)
Women and Print : Lives and feelings of women
began to be written in particularly vivid and intense
ways. Women's reading, therefore, increased
enormously in middle-class homes. Liberal
husbands and fathers began educating their
womenfolk at home, and sent them to schools
when women's schools were set up in the cities
and towns after the mid· nineteenth century. Many
journals began carrying writings by women and
explained why women should be educated. They
also carried a syllabus and attached suitable
reading matter which could be used for homebased schooling.
Since social reforms and novels had already
created a great interest in women's lives and
emotions, there was also an interest in what
women would have to say about their own lives.
From the 1860s, few Bengali women like
Kailashbashini Debi wrote books highlighting the
experiences of women-about how women were
optioned at home, kept in ignorance, forced to hard
domestic about and treated unjustly by the very
people they served. In the 1880s, in present-day
Maharashtra, Tarabia Shinde and Pandita amabai
wrote with passionate anger about the miserable
lives upper-caste Hindu women, especially
widows.
In Punjab, too, a similar folk literature was widely
printed from the early twentieth century. Ram
Chaddha published the fast-selling Istri Dharm
Vichar to teach wom~n how to be obedient wives.
The Khalsa Tract Society published cheap
booklets with a similar message. Many of these
were in the form of dialogues about the qualities
of a good woman.
(ii) Print and the poor people : From the late
nineteenth century, issues of caste discrimination
began to be written about in many printed tracts
and essays Jyotiba Phule, the Maratha pioneer of
'low caste' protest movements, wrote about the
injustices of the caste system in his Gulamgiri
(1871). In the twentieth century. B.R. Ambedkar in
Maharashtra and E,V. Ramaswamy Naicker in
Madras, better known as Periyar, wrote powerfully
on caste and their writings were read by people
all over India. Local protest movements and sects
also created a lot of popular journal and tracts
criticising ancient scriptures and envisioning a new
and just future.
Workers in factories were too overworked and
lacked the education to write much about their
experiences. But Kashibaba, a Kanpur mill
worker, wrote and published Chhote Aur Bade Ka
Sawal in 1938 to show the links between caste
and class exploitation. The poems of another
Kanpur mill worker, who wrote under the name of
Sudarshan ,Chakr between 1935 and 1955, were
brought together and published in a collection
called Sachi Kavitayan. By the 1930s Bangalore
cotton mill workers set up libraries to educate
themselves, following the example of Bombay
workers. These were sponsored by social
reformers who tried to restrict excessive drinking
among them, to bring literacy and sometimes to
propagate the message of nationalism.
PRINT AND CENSORSHIP
By the 1820s, the Calcutta Supreme Court passed
certain regulations to control press freedom and the
Company began encouraging publications of
newspapers that would celebrate British rule. In 1835,
faced with urgent petitions by editors of English and
vernacular Dewspapers, Governor-General Bentinick
agreed to revise press laws. Thomas Macaulay a
liberal colonial official, formulated new rules that
restored the earlier freedoms.
After the revolt of 1857, the attitude to freedom of the
press changed. Enraged Englishmen demanded a
clamp down on the 'native' press. As vernacular
newspapers became assertively nationlist, the colonial
government began debating measures of stringent
control. In 1878, the Vernacular Press Act was passed,
modelled on the Irish Press Laws. It proviged the
JOvernment with extensive rights to censor reports and
editorial in the vernacular press. From now on the
government kept regular track of the vernacular
newspapers published in .different provinces. When a
report was judged as seditious, the newspaper was
warned, and if the warning was ignored, the press
was liable to be seized and the printing machinery
confiscated.

POWER SHARING
Some of the elements of the Belgian model are–
BELGIUM AND SRI LANKA
(i)
(a) Ethnic composition of Belgium :
A small country in Europe, It has borders with
Netherlands, France and Germany. It has a
population of a little over one crore. The ethnic
composition of this small country is very complex.
Of the country’s total population, 59 percent lives
in the Flemish region and speaks Dutch language.
Another 40 percent people live in the Wallonia
region and speak French. Remaining 1 percent of
the Belgians speak German.
Problems– The minority French-speaking
community was relatively rich and powerful. This
led to tensions between the Dutch-speaking and
French-speaking communities during the 1950s
and 1960s. Brussels presented a special
problem: The Dutch-speaking people constituted
a majority in the country, but a minority in the capital.
(ii) Many powers of the central government have been
given to state government of the two regions of the
country. The state governments are not
subordinate to the Central Government.
(iii) Brussels has a separate government in which
both the communities have equal representation.
(iv) Apart from the Central and the State Government,
there is a third kind of government. This
‘community government’
IS POWER SHARING DESIRABLE ?
(a) Prudential Reason :
Power sharing is good because it helps to reduce
the possibility of conflict between social groups.
Power sharing is a good way to ensure the stability
of political order.
(b) Ethnic composition of Sri Lanka :
The major social groups are the Sinhalaspeakers (74 percent) and the Tamil-speakers (18
percent). Among Tamils there are two subgroups.
Tamil natives of the country are called ‘Sri Lankan
Tamils’ (13 percent). The rest, are called ‘Indian
Tamils’.There are about 7 percent Christians, who
are both Tamil and Sinhala.
MAJORITARIANISM IN SRI LANKA
Majoritarian measures to establish Sinhala
supremacy : In 1956, an Act was passed to
recognise Sinhala as the only official language, thus
disregarding Tamil.A new constitution stipulated that
the state shall protect and foster Buddhism.
Outcomes/Problems that emerged :
Majoritarianism has increased the feeling of alienation
among the Sri Lankan Tamils. They felt that the
constitution and government policies denied them
equal political rights, discriminated against them in
getting jobs and other opportunities and ignored their
interests. By 1980s several political organisation were
formed demanding an independent Tamil Eelam
(state) in northern and eastern parts of Sri Lanka.
ACCOMMODATION IN BELGIUM
Between 1970 and 1993, they amended their
constitution four times so as to work out an
arrangement that would enable everyone to live
together
Constitution prescribes that the number of Dutch
and French-speaking ministers shall be equal in
the central government.
(b) Moral Reasons : Power sharing is the very spirit
of democracy. A democratic rule involves sharing
power with those affected by its exercise, and who
have to live with its effects. People have a right to
be consulted on how they are to be governed.
POWER SHARING
Forms of Power Sharing :
Power sharing

of power because it allows different organs of
government placed at the same level.

different levels – A general government for the
entire country and governments at the provincial
or regional level. Such a general government for
the entire country is usually called federal
government.

groups, such as the religious and linguistic
groups. In some countries there are constitutional

sections and women are represented in the
legislatures and administration.

WATER RESOURCES
Freshwater is mainly obtained from surface run off and
ground water that is continually being renewed and
recharged through the hydrological cycle. All water
moves within the hydrological cycle ensuring that water
is a renewable resource.
WATER SCARCITY
Water scarcity is a situation wherein adequate water
is not available to meet its requirement in different
uses. Broadly speaking, water scarcity may be caused
by (i) over-exploitation, (ii) excessive use, and (iii)
unequal access to water among different social
groups.
Another situation when water is sufficiently available
to meet the needs of the people, but, the areas still
suffers from water scarcity, due to bad quality of water.
Increasing population a cause of water scarcity (i)
Greater demands of water, and unequal access
to it.
(ii) Water resources are being overexploited to expand
irrigated areas and dry-season agriculture.
(iv) Generates electricity.
(v) Provides inland navigation.
(vi) Provides facilities for recreation.
(vii) Preservation of wildlife, forests and development
of fisheries.
Negative features of Multi-purpose River Valley
project :
(i)
Affect river’s natural flow causing poor sediment
flow and excessive sedimentation at the bottom
of the reservoir, resulting in rockier stream beds
and poorer habitats for the rivers’ aquatic life.
(ii) Makes it difficult for aquatic fauna to migrate,
especially for spawning. Also submerge’s the
existing vegetation and soil.
(iii) Large-scale displacement of local communities.
(iv) Has changed the cropping pattern of many
regions.
(v) Ecological consequences like salinisation of the
soil .
(iii) Leads to falling groundwater levels, adversely
affecting water availability and food security of the
people.
(vi) Has transformed the social landscape i.e.
increasing the social gap, creates conflicts
between people wanting different uses and
benefits from the same water resources.
Urbanisation and Industrialisation adversely affect the
availability of water -
(vii) Inter-state water disputes are also becoming
common.
(i)
(viii) Failure to achieve the purposes for which they
were built. Ironically, mostly been unsuccessful in
controlling floods at the time of excessive rainfall.
Industry itself is a heavy user of water, in its different
processes.
(ii) Industry requires power to run machinery and
equipment. Power is generated from water.
(iii) Multiplying urban centres with large and dense
populations and urban lifestyles add to water and
energy requirements.
(iv) Growing water requirements are met by pumping
underground water, it results in decline in the level
of underground water.
MULTI-PURPOSE RIVER PROJECTS AND INTEGRATED
WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
Dams were traditionally built to impound rivers and
rainwater that could be used later to irrigate agricultural
fields.
Multi-Purpose River Projects - A dam or a series of
dam are built on a river and its tributaries to solve
various purposes.
(i) Control on flood and drought.
(ii) Checks soil erosion.
(iii) Provides water for irrigation, drinking and industrial
purposes.
(ix) Sedimentation also meant that the flood plains
were deprived of silt.
(x) The multi-purpose projects induced earthquakes,
caused water borne diseases and pests and
pollution resulting from excessive use of water.
RAINWATER HARVESTING
In ancient India, there existed an extraordinary tradition
of water-harvesting system.
(i)
‘Guls’ & ‘kuls’ of the Western Himalayas for
agriculture.
(ii) Roof top rainwater harvesting was commonly
practised to store drinking water particularly in
Rajasthan.

PAGE # 59
(D) Falling ground water level.
Rajasthan, particularly in Bikaner, Phalodi and Barmer,
almost all the houses traditionally had underground
tanks or tankas for storing drinking water. The rainwater
can be stored in tankas till the next rainfall making it an
extremely reliable source of drinking water when all
other sources are dried up. In Gendathur, a remote
backward village in Mysore, Karnataka, villagers have
installed, in their household’s rooftop, rainwater
harvesting system to meet their water needs. Gendathur
receives an annual precipitation of 1000 mm, and with
80 per cent of collection efficiency and of about 10
fillings, every house can collect and use about 50000
litres of water annually.

GLOBALISATION AND THE INDIAN ECONOMY
PRODUCTION ACROSS COUNTRIES
Multinational Corporations - A company that owns or
controls production in more than one nation. The goods
and services are produced globally. Production is
organized in increasingly complex ways.
INTERLINKING PRODUCTION
ACROSS COUNTRIES
MNCs set up production where it is close to the
markets; where there is skilled and unskilled labour
available at low costs; and where the availability is
assured. MNCs might look for government policies
that look after their interests.
Ways in which the MNCs spread their production
across the globe (i)
Joint production with local companies
(ii) Buy up local companies
(iii) Place orders for production with small producers
Liberalisation of foreign trade and
foreign investment policy
Trade Barrier - Restrictions on export and import.
Governments can use trade barrier to increase or
decrease foreign trade and to decide what kinds of
goods and how much of each should come into the
country. After independence, the Indian government had
put barriers to protect the Indian producers from
international competition.
Starting around 1991, the government decided that the
time had come for Indian producers to compete with
producers around the globe. Thus barriers on foreign
trade and foreign investment were removed to a large
extent. Removing barriers or restrictions set by the
government is what is known as liberalisation.
WORLD TRADE ORGANISATION
A group of 149 countries (2006), this organisation say
that all the barriers to foreign trade and investment are
harmful. There should be no barriers. Trade between
countries should be free. All countries in the world
should liberalise their policies.
FOREIGN TRADE AND INTEGRATION OF MARKETS
Foreign trade creates an opportunity for the
(i) Producers to reach beyond the domestic
markets
(ii) For buyers, expanding the choice of goods
beyond what is domestically produced
(iii) Prices of similar goods in the two markets
tend to become equal. Producers in two
countries closely compete against each other
even though they are separated by thousands
of miles.
WHAT IS GLOBALISATION ?
Globalisation is the process of rapid integration or
interconnection between countries.
IMPACT OF GLOBALISATION IN INDIA
Positive Impacts
(i) MNCs have increased their investments in
India, new jobs have been created. Local
companies supplying raw materials, etc. to
these industries have prospered.
(ii) Several of the top Indian companies have
been able to benefit from the increased
competition.
(iii) Globalisation has enabled some large Indian
companies to emerge as multinationals
themselves.
(iv) Created new opportunities for companies
providing services, particularly those involving
IT.
More and more goods and services, investments and
technology are moving between countries.
Negative Impacts
People usually move from one country to another in
search of better income, better jobs or better education.
For a large number of small producers and workers
globalisation has posed major challenges.
Small manufacturers have been hit hard due to
competition. Several of the units have shut down
rendering many workers jobless.
Factors That Have Enabled Globalisation
(i) Rapid improvement in technology has been
one major factor that has stimulated the
globalization process.
(ii) Even more remarkable have been the developments in information and communication
technology.
(i)
Small producers : Compete or perish:
(ii) Competition and uncertain employment:
Globalisation and the pressure of competition have
substantially changed the lives of workers. Faced with
growing competition, most employers these days
prefer to employ workers ‘felxibly’. This means that
workers jobs are no longer secure. Workers also have
to put in very long working hours and work night shifts
PAGE # 61
THE STRUGGLE FOR A FAIR GLOBALISATION
Not everyone has benefited from globalisation. People
with education, skill and wealth have made the best
use of the new opportunities. On the other hand, there
are many people who have not shared the benefits.
Steps that can be taken by the Government to ensure a
fair globalisation :
(i) Policies to protect the interests of all the
people in the country.
(ii) Proper implementation of labour laws.
(iii) Support to small producers, use of trade and
investment barriers.
(iv) Negotiation at the WTO for ‘fairer rules’.

ALPHABET SERIES
Alphabet Series problems deals with alphabets
and Alpha-Numeric. While attempting to solve
the question, you have to check the pattern of
the series.
Type of questions asked in the examination :
(i) Find the missing term(s).
(ii) Find the wrong term(s).
Alphabet Series
In these types of questions, a series of single or
pairs of groups of letters is given. The terms of the
series form a certain pattern as regards the
position of the letters in the English alphabet.
Position of Alphabet :
(i) Alphabet in order :
(ii) Alphabet in reverse order :
Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

(A) RYH
(B) SYH
(C) SZI
(D) SYI
(B) There is a continuous difference of 4 letters
between the first letter of each group, second
letter of each group and third letter of each group.
So the missing term would be SYH.
ZSD, YTC, XUB, WVA, ?
(A) VWZ
(B) UVW
(C) VXY
(D) UWZ
(A) The first letter of each group is in continuation
in backward direction. The second letter of each
group is in continuation in forward direction. The
third letter of each group is in continuation in
backward direction. Therefore, the missing term
would be VWZ.
KTE, SBM, AJU, IRC, ?
(A) OZL
(B) QYZ
(C) QZL
(D) QZK
(D) First letter of each group differ by 8 letters.
Second letter of each group differ by 8 letters. Third
letter of each group differ by 8 letters. Therefore,
the missing term would be QZK.
Directions : (8 to 9) Find the wrong term (s) :

(D) K
Sol.
Sol.
Ex 7.
DOU, EPV, FQW, GRX, HTY, ITZ
(A) EPV
(B) FQW
(C) GRX
(D) HTY
(D) In every term first, second and third letter is in
alphabetical order to its next term respectively.
Fourth term is not following the same rule. Hence,
HTY is the wrong term and should be replaced by
HSY.
ABC, DGJ, HMR, NTA, SBK, ZKV
(A) DGJ
(B) HMR
(C) NTA
(D) SBK
(C) First letter of first, second, third,.........terms is
moved three, four, five, ........steps forward
respectively. Similarly, second letter is moved five,
six, seven,......steps forward respectively and third
letter is moved seven, eight, nine,........steps
forward respectively. Hence, NTA is the wrong term
and should be replaced by MTA.
Alpha-Numeric Series
A series in which both alphabets and number are
used.
Direction : (10) Find the missing term :
Ex 10.
Sol.
F3X, H7U, J15R, L31O, ?
(A) M46L
(B) N44L
(C) N63L
(D) N44M
(C) The first letter of each term is moved two steps
forward and the last letter is moved three steps
backward to obtain the corresponding letters of
the next term. The numbers form the sequence
3 × 2 + 1 = 7, 7 × 2 + 1 = 15, 15 × 2 + 1 = 31, 31 ×
2 + 1 = 63. So, the missing term would be N63L.

(A) First letter of every term is moved three steps
forward in each next term. Second number of
every term of the pattern  × 2 + 1, × 2 + 2,× 2 +
3,............and third letter of every term is moved
two steps backward. Hence, G10T is the wrong
term and should be replaced by G9T.
