Q1-3. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it:-

In spring, polar bear mothers emerge from dens with three months old cubs.

If there are triplets, the most persistent stands to gain an extra meal at the expense of others. The smallest of the cubs forfeits many meals to stronger siblings.
