Super TET Mock Test - 4 - Question 9

अकथितं च' सूत्र से किस विभक्ति की योजना होती है -

Detailed Solution for Super TET Mock Test - 4 - Question 9

'अकथितं च' सूत्र के अनुसार अकथित को गौण कर्म की संज्ञा प्राप्त होती है तथा उसमें द्वितीया विभक्ति होती है। इस सूत्र में 16 धातुओं का उल्लेख है, जिनके योग में ऐसा होता है और इन धातुओं को द्विकर्मक धातु कहा जाता है।

उदाहरण - 'नृप∶ खलं शतं दण्डयति।' यहाँ -

  • कर्ता 'नृप∶' एकवचन में है।
  • 'दण्ड' धातु के योग में 'अकथितं च' सूत्र से द्विकर्मक वाक्य है, अतः यहाँ 'खल' के गौण कर्म होने से द्वितीया विभक्ति होती है।
  • वाक्य का मुख्य कर्म होने से ‘शतं' में द्वितीया विभक्ति होती है।

अतः 'अकथितं च' इस सूत्र के अनुसार 'नृप∶ खलं शतं दण्डयति।' यहाँ 'खल' में द्वितीया विभक्ति है।

Additional Information

इन सोलह धातुओं का प्रयोग इस प्रकार है -

  1. दुह् (दुहना) -
    • गां दोग्धि पय:।

यहाँ अपादान कारक का अर्थ प्रकट होने पर भी उक्‍त सूत्र से कर्म कारक हुआ है।

  1. याच् (माँगना)
    • बलिं याचते वसुधाम्।
    • बलिं भिक्षते वसुधाम्।

याच् धातु के समानार्थी 'भिक्ष्' धातु के प्रयोग पर भी द्वितीया विभक्ति ही होती है।

  1. पच् (पकाना)
    • तण्‍डुलान् ओदनं पचति
  2. दण्‍ड् (दण्‍ड देना)
    • गर्गान् शतं दण्‍‍डयति
  3. रुधि (रोकना)
    • व्रजं गां अवरुणद्धि।
  4. पृच्‍छ् (पूछना)
    • माणवकं पन्‍थानं पृच्‍छति।
  5. चि (चुनना)
    • लतां पुष्‍पं चिनोति।
  6. ब्रू, शास् (बोलना, उपदेश करना)
    • माणवकं धर्मं ब्रूते।
    • अध्यापकं शास्त्रं शास्ति।
  7. जि (जीतना)
    • देवदत्‍तं शतं जयति।
  8. मथ् (मथना)
    • अमृतं क्षीरनिधिं मथ्‍नाति।
  9. मुष् (चुराना)
    • शतं मुष्‍णाति देवदत्‍तं।
  10. नी, हृ, कृष्, वह् (ले जाना)

Super TET Mock Test - 4 - Question 10

मिलित्वा' पद में कौन सा प्रत्यय है?

Detailed Solution for Super TET Mock Test - 4 - Question 10

पद - मिलित्वा

विग्रह - मिल् + क्त्वा

‘समान कर्तृकयोः पूर्वकाले’ सूत्र से वाक्य में मुख्य क्रिया के साथ पूर्वकालिक क्रिया का प्रयोग हो तो धातु से क्त्वा प्रत्यय का प्रयोग होता है। जैसे- ‘रमेश जाकर पढता है।’ यहाँ जाकर पूर्वकालिक क्रिया है अतः क्त्वा प्रत्यय का प्रयोग गम् धातु के साथ होगा।

‘क्त्वा’ प्रत्यय में ‘लशक्वतद्धिते’ से ‘क्’ का लोप हो केवल ‘त्वा’ जुडता है-

  • गम् + क्त्वा = गत्वा।
  • कृ + क्त्वा = कृत्वा।
  • श्रु + क्त्वा = श्रृत्वा।
  • मिल् + क्त्वा = मिलित्वा।

अतः स्पष्ट है कि मिलित्वा में क्त्वा प्रत्यय का प्रयोग हुआ है।

Additional Information

प्रत्यय:- ‘प्रति’ उपसर्ग पूर्वक ‘इण्’ धातु से ‘अच्’ प्रत्यय होकर ‘प्रत्यय’ पद निष्पन्न होता है। जिसका अर्थ होता है वे शब्द या शब्दांश जो अन्य शब्द के अन्त में जुड़कर नये सार्थक शब्दों का निर्माण करते हैं प्रत्यय कहलाते है।जैसे- गम् + क्त्वा = गत्वा। प्रत्यय पाँच प्रकार के होते हैं-

Super TET Mock Test - 4 - Question 20
Teachers are required to undergo in-service training_________.
Detailed Solution for Super TET Mock Test - 4 - Question 20

Teachers occupy a pivotal position in any nation as it is they who prepare the citizens of tomorrow. While the quality of the nation depends to a great extent on the quality of schools, the efficiency and effectiveness of schools lie in the hands of teachers. 

  • To become a teacher, an individual not has to develop certain personal qualities, but also requires certain professional competencies.
  • Many competencies are not feasible for an individual aspiring to be a teacher to acquire on his own. For this various training, services are available for the teachers. Mostly these trainings are divided into three stages:
    • 1. Pre- Service training, i.e. before joining as a teacher.
    • 2. Induction, i.e. at the time of joining
    • 3. In-service training, during the employed period.

Key Points 

  • The third phase of teacher education is continuous in-service training. This phase is expected to be the longest and relatively more important.
  • The initial training is only meant to supply a teacher with a 'license' for teaching and provides him access to the career of a teacher. However, it provides only the basic minimum knowledge and teaching skills required for the profession.
  • But to continue working effectively, a teacher requires continuous personal and professional renewal in knowledge and teaching skills and redirection of tasks and expertise as the changing society necessitates. Hence, every teacher needs to pursue training beyond his/her initial certification. 
  • Inservice training is unquestionably an issue that every teacher needs to pursue. Therefore, no teacher should and would not be satisfied with the initial and induction training that he has received. He requires in-service training to move forward in expertise and specialization. It is also required to equip a teacher with the competencies required for taking up new responsibilities.
  • The major purposes for in-service training are:
    • To provide adequate professional training for effective teaching.
    • To keep teachers abreast of new developments in the profession.
    • To upgrade academic qualifications or professional competencies of teachers.
    • To develop skills and attitudes responsive to emerging national development goals and programs.
    • To disseminate specific information and undertake educational innovations, such as curriculum change, etc.

Thus, it is concluded that teachers are required to undergo in-service training to continuously upgrade their professional competencies.

Additional Information 

  • Pre-service training:- It is the training that teacher has to undertake before starting a teaching career. For example- B.Ed. course.
  • Induction: Induction is like an orientation programme where the teacher after joining has to undertake the rules and regulations of the school.

A's weight is twice as much as of B.
1. A = 2B.
B's weight is four and half times as much as of C.
2. B = 4.5C
C's weight is half times as much as of D.
3. C = D/2.
D's weight is half as much as of E.
4. D = E/2.
E weight is less than A but more than C.
5. A > E > C
from 1 and 2
6. A = 2B = 9C
from 6 and 3
7. A = 2B = 9C = 4.5D
from 7 and 4
8. A = 2B = 9C = 4.5D = 2.25E
so from 8 and 5
A > B > E > D > C
So, E is lighter in weight than A and B.

Super TET Mock Test - 4 - Question 27
Five years ago, father's age was 5 times that of his son and after 3 years he will be 3 times as old as his son. Find the present age of son.
Detailed Solution for Super TET Mock Test - 4 - Question 27

Given:

Five years ago, father's age was 5 times that of his son

After 3 years father will be 3 times as old as his son

Calculation:

Let the present age of son be x years 

Present age of father be y years 

According to the question,

Five years ago, father's age was 5 times that of his son

(y - 5) = 5 (x - 5)

⇒ y - 5 = 5x - 25 

⇒ y - 5x + 20 = 0     ---- (i)

After 3 years father will be 3 times as old as his son

(y + 3) = 3(x + 3)

⇒ y + 3 = 3x + 9

⇒ y - 3x - 6 = 0      ---- (ii)

Solving equation (i) and (ii) we get,

x = 13

∴ Present age of son is 13 years

Super TET Mock Test - 4 - Question 30

Problem of ‘wastage’ and ‘stagnation’ is primarily related to which level of education ?

Detailed Solution for Super TET Mock Test - 4 - Question 30

Important Points

Wastage “The premature withdrawal of children at any stage before completion of the primary education is called Wastage.”

  • While clarifying the meaning of this word in education Hartog Committee remarked the following: “By wastage, we mean premature withdrawal of children from schools at any stage before completion of the primary courses”.
  • In Primary Education, the main objective is the attainment of stable literary through five years of schooling.
  • If a child entering school leaves it or is withdrawn from school before completing class V, it leads to wastage in education.
  • So wastage is the premature withdrawal of children from schools. A rough and ready method to measure wastage is to compare diminution in enrolment from class to class in a series of years.

Stagnation Meaning“The retention of a child in the same class for a period of more than one year is called stagnation.”

  • Stagnationis a major factor responsible for wastage in primary education,both directly and indirectly.
  • The students at every stage of education are expected to pass the examination after finishing the whole course.
  • But it has been found that in general practice many students are not able to pass the examinations in one class or in more than one class within the prescribed period.
  • Thus, they fail and remain in the same class. These failed students repeat the same class and course whereas their other colleagues pass that class and study in the next upper class. This process has been called the process of stagnation. Thus stagnation, it is meant the stay of students in a particular class for more than one year.
  • The problem of ‘wastage’ and ‘stagnation’ is primarily related to education's primary level (1 to 5).

Really it was the Hartog Committee (1929), which for the first time pointed out that the “massive wastage and stagnation are taking place in primary education. Primary Education is ineffective unless it at least produces literacy”.

Additional Information 
Causes of Wastage and Stagnation:

The causes of wastage and stagnation are of 3 categories: economic, educational, and social.

  • Economic Causes: At the age of 9 or 10, the child becomes an economic asset, because he can work at home or earn something outside. This is especially true of girls who have to assist the over-worked mother at home. The child is withdrawn from the school and thus he becomes a wastage case”.
  • Social Causes: Class and caste distinctions prevail in India, the former in urban areas and the latter in rural areas. Especially in the case of girls custom of early marriages or betrothals stands a bar. There is an opposition to sending grown-up girls to schools especially to the mixed schools without women teachers.
  • Educational Causes: Only educational causes are responsible for another 30% of wastage. The government of India admits this in the following words: “The educational institutions being ill-equipped, poorly housed and with the dull and depressing environment, unfortunately, could not exercise effective counter-acting influence”.

The increased number of single-teacher schools, inefficient teaching, lack of teacher-pupil contact, frequent transfer of teachers, and plural class-teaching disturbed the quality of instruction which ultimately cause much wastage and stagnation.

Hence, we can conclude that the right answer to this question is the primary level.
