II. Read the passage and answer the questions given below: -

Whether we like it or not, but it is impossible to escape falling sick. Once

sickness grips, there is no other alternative but to consult a doctor and start
taking medicines. All doctors do not follow the same system of medicines. Six
popular systems of medicine are being practiced all over the world. It is quite
interesting to study how and when our own system of medicine, ‘Ayurveda’,
came into being and got acceptability. Everyone knows that our system is
based mainly on herbs and plants. It is developed by Atreya, a physician and
a teacher at the University of Taxila. He lived in the 6th century B.C. Another
renowned local personality in the field was Susruta, who hailed from
Varanasi. He invented and developed the surgical treatment. His book
‘Susruta Samhita’ is considered as The Holy Bible in Ayurveda. He has
described in it the skillful methods of performing a number of operations.
