Analyse the following caselet and answer the questions that follow:
Geetha Gawde can cultivate up to 6 crops a year. Crop A and B arc ready for harvest in 2 months; crop C and D in 3 months, and crop E and F in 4 months. Crop A can be cultivated from January to June; crop B can be cultivated from April1 to September; crop C can be cultivated from May to December; crops D as well as E can be cultivated from August to December, and crop F from November to Mgy. If Geetha plans a change of crop the soil should be left fallow for one month; however, if the same crop is sown no fallow time is needed. Sowing takes place only at the beginning of a month. Geetha can only harvest a maximum of 1000 units of any crop at any point in time. The production cost per unit (incurred at the time of sowing) andpriceper unit of crop are as follows:
For Geetha soil preparation does not incur any cost. If a crop is abandoned before the scheduled harvesting, she gets no money. Geetha is preparing a cropping schedule to maximize her annual profits (i.e., price- cost). She plans to replicate the schedule in the coming years.
Q. Which of the following schedules would maximize her annual profit while minimising the costs, if Geetha decides NOT to repeat a crop in a calendar year?
  • a)
    Crops A, B and E
  • b)
    Crops B, D and F
  • c)
    Crops B, D, E and F

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.An umbrella tumbles from the old man's hands, a smile spreading slowly across his dripping face. He watches it fill with water. Men, women and children crowd the flooded streets, carrying pots, cups, and hats to gather the gift of water falling from the sky. In the midst of these idyllic images, a message scrolls across the bottom of the TV screen: "Rainwater belongs to each of us, but how do we keep and share?"Water is a plentiful blessing in this depiction, produced by the Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), a public interest organization that lobbies for environmental issues in India. The compelling image is a response to increasingly worrisome water supply issues in Delhi. The vast and crowded capital of India struggles to provide enough water to its neighbourhoods, where citizens rely on communal taps that draw from a limited municipal groundwater source. CSE promotes rainwater harvesting, the gathering of rainwater, to supplement the city's ever-dwindling water supply. The depiction presents a blunt conclusion in the final shot: "Rainwater harvesting: Solve your water problem yourself."The current water supply system in Delhi begs for change, and it is becoming increasingly obvious that the government will do little to improve it. While the wealthy see running water gush to their sinks every day, most of Delhi must wait their turn at the communal taps, uncertain whether they will be able to gather enough water for basic needs. The Delhi Jal Board, the city's water municipality, supplies 696 million gallons of water per day, but some estimate Delhi consumes as much as 1,280 million gallons daily. In this parched city, access to water is a privilege, not a right.The Basti, a predominantly Muslim neighbourhood in Delhi, stands disconnected from the modern world. No cars fit through its narrow, dirt alleyways, where women scrub laundry with rocks and young children wander the streets begging for a spare rupee. Here, most families share the public taps, yet cooperation is not always forged by this communal burden. "Women wait in line to get their share from the tap, but there are arguments if anyone takes someone's share." explained Praveen Abdul Kaleem, a 21-year-old resident of the Basti. "Sometimes the argument gets so heated, the police get called in." And sometimes, there is no water to share. "The biggest problem with the water supply happens in the hot and dry season," said Gauri Patel, a maidservant and mother of four who relies on a weak tap outside her home. "Sometimes it doesn't come until the night; sometimes not for a day or two. When it doesn't come, there's nothing to do but be patient."Located in a region with few standing bodies of water, Delhi has always struggled to provide water for its 17 million inhabitants. The city still uses the colonial system of centralized distribution and pays the northern state of Uttar Pradesh to pipe water into Delhi. But centralized distribution is archaic and inefficient. "There are huge losses in centrally-operated systems," said Salahuddin Saiphy, assistant coordinator of community water management and rainwater harvesting at CSE. "It is extremely inefficient to import water 4,000 kilometres."While the Delhi government perpetuates the inefficiencies of this colonial relic, CSE and other NGOs across the country have proposed rainwater harvesting as an organic solution to provide water to the citizens of Delhi. "Rainwater harvesting technology is very basic and decentralized to individual households. It facilitates a larger philosophy of water management," said Pradip Saha, also of CSE.Still, the government remains only partially committed to the idea. Although laws ensure that rainwater harvesting facilities are installed on all new buildings, the city has been postponing the deadline for the rooftops of old buildings to be converted to harvesting systems since 2001. This lack of action comes as no surprise, said Saha at CSE. "We can't trust the government only, because it has failed miserably over the years." In a country known for a massive bureaucracy left over from British rule, people have learned not to expect change from the government.When water fleetingly arrives at the taps, it is not easy to gather enough to last. People try to store it in large containers, but some of the poorest people don't even have those. What can they do? This dilemma is left unanswered by CSE's campaign. Television commercials and informative websites may encourage wealthy philanthropists to change their ways, and CSE must be lauded for its persistent and innovative advocacy. But rainwater harvesting, while promising, is not yet accessible to the citizens of the Basti. For those who need water the most, true change may remain a pipe dream for some time to come.Q.
