Q25: Explain the social changes which led to the need for the underground railways in London. (2009)

Class 10 History Chapter 6 Previous Year Questions - Work, Life and Leisure Additional Chapter (Deducted from CBSE 2021-22 examination)  View Answer

Ans: The congestion in the 19th century industrial London had led many wealthy residents of London to build homes in the countryside. Architect Ebenezer Howard developed the principle of ‘Garden City’, a pleasant place, full of plants and trees, where people could both live and work. Between the two world wars, the British State built a million houses, single family cottages for working classes. The city extended now beyond the range, where people could walk to work. The development of suburbs made new forms of mass transport absolutely necessary. To persuade people to leave the city and live in garden suburbs, some new means of travelling to the city for work was essential. The London underground railway solved the housing crisis by carrying large masses of people to and from the city.


Q26: What was the tradition of ‘London Season’? Explain different forms of entertainment that came up in nineteenth century England to provide leisure activities for the people. [2009, 2011 (T-1)]

Class 10 History Chapter 6 Previous Year Questions - Work, Life and Leisure Additional Chapter (Deducted from CBSE 2021-22 examination)  View Answer

Many new types of large-scale entertainment for the common people came up. Libraries, art galleries and museums were established to provide entertainment to people who swarmed them. Music halls were popular among lower classes, and by the 20th century, cinema became the great mass entertainer for mixed audiences.

British industrial workers were encouraged to spend their holidays by the sea. Over a million British went to the seaside in 1883; their number increased to 7 million in 1939.


Q27:  How did the development of cities influence the ecology and environment in the late Nineteenth century? Explain by giving an example of Calcutta (Kolkata). (2008, 2010)

                                                            OR
 Write about the pollution problems of Calcutta (Kolkata) in the 19th century. [2011 (T-1)]

Class 10 History Chapter 6 Previous Year Questions - Work, Life and Leisure Additional Chapter (Deducted from CBSE 2021-22 examination)  View Answer

Ans: City development everywhere has been at the expense of ecology and environment. To accommodate factories, housing and other institutions, natural features are either transformed or flattened out. Large quantities of refuse and waste products pollute air and water and excessive noise becomes a feature of urban life.

In the late 19th century, use of coal in homes and industries raised serious problems. For example, in Calcutta, inhabitants inhaled grey smoke, particularly in winter. Since Calcutta was built on marshy land, the fog and smoke combined to generate a thick black smog. High level of pollution was a result of the huge population using dung and wood as fuel in their daily life. Main polluters were the industries that used steam engines run on coal. The introduction of the railway in 1855 brought a new dangerous pollutant — coal from Raniganj. It had a high content of ash. Calcutta became the first Indian city in 1863 to get smoke nuisance legislation. In 1920, the rice mills of Tollygunge began to burn rice husk instead of coal, and people complained of “black soot falling like drizzling rain” causing bad tempers, dirty clothes and smoke related illnesses. The inspectors of Bengal Smoke Nuisance Committee finally managed to control industrial smoke, but found controlling domestic smoke more difficult.

Q29: Explain in brief the history of land reclamation in Mumbai. (2008)

Class 10 History Chapter 6 Previous Year Questions - Work, Life and Leisure Additional Chapter (Deducted from CBSE 2021-22 examination)  View Answer

Ans: Originally Bombay was the city of several islands which were joined into one land mass over a period of time. The first project began in 1784, when the Governor of Bombay, William Hornby, approved the building of the great sea wall. It was done to prevent flooding of the low lying areas of Bombay.

In the mid-nineteenth century, several plans were formulated for reclamation of more land from the sea. Both private and Government companies took part in it. In 1864, the Black Bay Reclamation Company won the right to reclaim the western shore from the tip of Malabar Hill to the end of Colaba. This meant levelling of hills around Bombay. By the 1870s, though most private companies had closed down because of the high cost of reclamation, Bombay had expanded to about 22 square miles. As the population continued to increase rapidly, more and more area was reclaimed from the sea.

Q48: Describe the lifestyle of British workers in the 19th century. (2010)

Class 10 History Chapter 6 Previous Year Questions - Work, Life and Leisure Additional Chapter (Deducted from CBSE 2021-22 examination)  View Answer

Ans: Most of the workers were employed in industries and factories. Because of bursting population led to unemployment and crime and an increase in the number of poor. Factories employed large number of women in the early 19th century but they lost their industrial jobs due to technological developments. Most women worked as domestic servants; of them many were migrants to London. Large numbers of children were pushed into low-paid work, often by their parents. Children took to crime as it earned them more money than honest work. A young thief could earn 10 shillings 6 pence a week from thieving – honest work fetched him this money after making 1,296 match boxes in a day.

Most workers lived in unsafe tenements which were health hazards, overcrowded, badly ventilated and lacking sanitation. Poor housing was a constant fire hazard. The workers could only expect a lifespan of 29 years. The workers were expected to die, according to Charles Booth, in a ‘work house, hospital or a lunatic asylum.’ There was a widespread fear of social disorder, because of the unhealthy, poverty stricken life the workers led.

Class 10 History Chapter 6 Previous Year Questions - Work, Life and Leisure Additional Chapter (Deducted from CBSE 2021-22 examination)  View Answer

Ans: Four reasons for Bombay’s expansion :
(i) When Bombay became the capital of Bombay Presidency in 1819, the city expanded. With the growth of trade in cotton and opium, large communities of traders, bankers, as well as artisans and shopkeepers came to settle in Bombay.
(ii) When textile mills were established in Bombay there was fresh surge of migration. The first cotton textile mill in Bombay was established in 1854.

About one-fourth of Bombay’s inhabitants between 1881 and 1931 were born in Bombay, the rest were migrants from nearby district of Ratnagiri to work in Bombay mills.
(iii) Bombay was a junction of two major railways. This encouraged an even higher scale of migration into the city. For example, famine in dry regions of Kutch drove large number to Bombay in 1888-89.
(iv) Bombay became a premier city of India in the late 19th century. It dominated maritime trade of India and its population expanded from 644, 405 on 1572 to nearly, 1,500,000 in 1941

Q54: Why the population of London multiplied in the late 19th and early 20th century? [2010 (T-1)]

Class 10 History Chapter 6 Previous Year Questions - Work, Life and Leisure Additional Chapter (Deducted from CBSE 2021-22 examination)  View Answer

Ans: By 1750, one out of every nine people of England and Wales lived in London. It was a colossal city with a population of about 6,75,000. Its population multiplied four-fold in the 70 years between 1810 and 1880, increasing from one million to 4 million. London was a powerful magnet for migrant populations. The 19th century London was “a city of clerks, shopkeepers, small masters and skilled artisans, growing number of semi-skilled out workers, soldiers, servants, casual labourers, sheet sellers and beggars.’’ London’s dockyards and five major types of industries employed large number of workers. The five were : Clothing and footwear, wood and furniture, metals and engineering, printing and stationery, and precision products like surgical instruments, watches, and objects of precious metals.
During the First World War (1914-18) London began manufacturing motor cars and electrical goods, which led to increase in population as more workers were needed.


Q55: Explain any four characteristics of Marginal Groups in London. [2010, 2011 (T-1)]

Class 10 History Chapter 6 Previous Year Questions - Work, Life and Leisure Additional Chapter (Deducted from CBSE 2021-22 examination)  View Answer

Ans: Marginal Groups in London were about 20,000 criminals who worried the police about law and order. The people who made a living by crime were in fact poor people who lived by stealing lead from roofs, food from shops, lumps of coal and clothes drying on hedges. There were others who were more skilled at their trade, experts at their jobs. They were cheats, tricksterts, pickpockets and petty thieves crowding the streets of London.

Women were forced out of work from factories due to technological development they formed a large group that worked as domestic servants. They also worked at home to increase their income by taking in ladgers, working as tailors, wasting etc only during the war, they found jobs in factories and offices.

Large number of children were forced into low-paid work. ‘‘A child of 7 could easily make 10 shillings led a week from thieving — a low-paid worker had to make 56 gross of match boxes a week to earn that much” (According to an article by Andrew Mearns). Only by the passage of Compulsory Elementary Education Act in 1870 and passing of Factory Acts (since 1872) children were kept out of industrial work. So, the marginal groups were the criminals, women are workforce and children forced to work in low-paid jobs.


Q56: Explain the merits and drawbacks of underground rail of London. [2010 (T-1)]

Class 10 History Chapter 6 Previous Year Questions - Work, Life and Leisure Additional Chapter (Deducted from CBSE 2021-22 examination)  View Answer

Ans: See answer to Q. 6, Q 25 short answer.
Merits :

  1. It partly solved the housing crisis by carrying large masses of people to and from the city.
  2. When the first section of the underground in the world opened on 10 January, 1863, it carried 10,000 passengers, with trains running every ten minutes.
  3. By 1850, the trains were carrying 40 million passengers a year. By the 20th century, most large metropolises such as New York, Tokyo, Chicago had indispensable metro services.

They created more pollution and were considered by people to be a menace to health. Passengers complained of smoking pipes, an atmosphere which was a mixture of sulphur, coal dust and foul fumes causing asphyxiation. Many called the the trains ‘‘iron monsters’’ adding to mess and unhealthiness.
  2. To make two miles of railway, 900 houses were knocked down. It led to a displacement of the London poor, specially between the two wars. They wore down social distinctions but also created new ones.


Q57: Explain the lifestyle of workers of the mid-19th century in Britain. [2010 (T-1)]

Class 10 History Chapter 6 Previous Year Questions - Work, Life and Leisure Additional Chapter (Deducted from CBSE 2021-22 examination)  View Answer

Ans: The mid-century workers in London did not have proper houses to live in. They had to find residence in cheap, usually unsafe tenements.

According to a survey by a Liverpool shipowner in 1887, as many as one million Londoners (about 1/5 of the population of London at that time were very poor, expected to live upto an average age of 29 as compared to 55 among the gentry and the middle class. They were expected to die in a ‘‘workhouse, hospital or lunatic asylum.

There were constant worries about fire hazard created by poor housing. The one-room houses occupied by the poor were a serious threat to public health. There was a constant fear of uprising by the poor.

The only leisure for working classes was to meet in pubs and drink, exchange news and sometimes also organise for political action. Crime flourished among workers who did not have jobs. Children were forced to work for low wages. Women tried to earn by working at home or domestic maids. Later on there was a drive to build more houses, clear up the city, provide libraries and museums for the workers. Workers were encouraged to take annual leave and go to the seaside like Blackpool. Cinema also became a means of mass entertainment.


Q58: Explain why a number of films were about the life of migrants in the Bombay film industry. Name two movies whose songs became very popular. [2010 (T-1)]

Class 10 History Chapter 6 Previous Year Questions - Work, Life and Leisure Additional Chapter (Deducted from CBSE 2021-22 examination)  View Answer

Ans: There were a number of films about migrants because many people in the film industry were themselves migrants.

Class 10 History Chapter 6 Previous Year Questions - Work, Life and Leisure Additional Chapter (Deducted from CBSE 2021-22 examination)  View Answer

Ans: Natural features were transformed in response to the growing demand for space for factories, touring and other institutions. Large quantities of refuse and waste production polluted air and water, while excessive noise became a feature of urban life. Hundreds of factory chimneys spewed black smoke into the skies. Domestic sewage and factory wastes polluted water and soil. There was serious housing problems in the cities resulting in congestion, overcrowding and sanitation problems. Streets were full of squalour and crowded with houseless migrants. Cities like London, Bombay and Calcutta were over-populated and over-polluted.


Q60: How did the condition of women workers change from 19th to 20th century in London? [2011 (T-1)

Class 10 History Chapter 6 Previous Year Questions - Work, Life and Leisure Additional Chapter (Deducted from CBSE 2021-22 examination)  View Answer

Ans: As cities developed in the 19th century, women lost their industrial jobs. Conservative people opposed their presence in public spaces and women were forced to withdraw into their houses. The public space became exclusively a male preserve and the domestic sphere was seen as the proper place for women. But from 1870s onwards women’s participation in political movements increased. In the 20th century large number of women were employed in factories and offices and they raised voices in public fora.


Q61: Explain the social changes in London which led to the need for the underground railways. Why was the development of underground railways criticised? [2011 (T-1)]

Class 10 History Chapter 6 Previous Year Questions - Work, Life and Leisure Additional Chapter (Deducted from CBSE 2021-22 examination)  View Answer

Ans: Between the two World Wars (1919 – 39), the responsibility for housing the working classes was accepted by the British state, and a million houses were built for them in sub-urban areas by local authorities. The city had gradually extended beyond the range where people could walk to work. Development of suburbs made new forms of mass transport very necessary. The London underground railway partially solved the housing crisis by carrying large masses of people to and from the city. Underground railway created huge ecological and environmental problem. The process of construction led to large scale destruction of forests and other natural features.
