(Reading Skills, Vocabulary and Grammar)

Q.1. (A) Read the following passage and complete the activities given below: [10 marks]

A1. Name the following:

With reference to the passage. (2)
(i) Two people who influenced Mashelkar ________.
(ii) The trust which granted scholarship to Mashelkar _______.
(iii) The Director of the Board of Tata Motors _______.
(iv) Principal Bhave demonstrated _______.
In fact, I remember, my passing the SSC Examination – i.e. 11th standard. Those days it
used to be not 10th standard or 12th standard but 11th standard. I stood 11th among 1,35,000 but
I was about to leave higher education and find a job. What helped me was the scholarship by
Sir Dorab Tata Trust. It was just 60 rupees per month and would you believe that 60 rupees
per month from Tatas added so much value to my life that I have been able to stand here
today before you to speak to you.
I am on the Board of Tatas now and it is very interesting that the same Bombay House
where I used to go to collect that 60 rupees per month now one goes and sits there as a
Director on the Board of Tata Motors. The turn that these 40 years has taken is very
interesting. It has all been possible because of the chance I got to do higher studies at the
insistence of my mother. She gave me values of my life. She was one of the noblest parents I
have met in my life.
So, my greatest guru was my mother. My second great guru was Principal Bhave, about
whom I made a mention earlier. He taught us Physics. Because it was a poor school, I
remember, it had to innovate to convey to the young students the message of Science.
I still remember one of the interesting experiences when, on a Friday afternoon,
Principal Bhave took us out into the sun to demonstrate to us as to how to find the focal
length of a convex lens. He had a piece of paper here, a convex lens here and he moved it up
and down and there was a point when there was a sharp focus and a bright spot on the paper.
He showed the distance between paper and the lens and said that this distance was the focal
length. But then the paper started burning. For some reason, he then turned to me, and said,
“Mashelkar, if you focus your energies like this, you can burn anything in the world.”
