Q.no. 37 to 39 are case-based/data-based questions with 2 to 3 short sub-parts. Internal choice is provided in
one of these sub-parts.

37. When two or more elements chemically combine in a fixed ratio by mass, the obtained product is 4

types of elements in a fixed ratio of their atoms. When the elements combine, some individual
property of the elements is lost and the newly formed compound has new properties.

compound.

38. Animal husbandry is the scientific management of animal livestock. It includes various aspects 2+1
such as feeding, breeding and disease control. Animal-based farming includes cattle, goat, sheep, +1
poultry and fish farming. Cattle husbandry is done for two purposes— milk and draught labour for
agricultural work such as tilling, irrigation and carting.
(a) Mention the type of shelters which should be provided to cattles in dairy farming.
(b) Indian cattle belong to two different species.Name any one of them.
OR
Name any one exotic or foreign breed of cattle.
(c)What are the two types of food requirements of dairy animals ?

39. Sound is produced by vibrating objects. The matter or substance through which sound is 2+1
transmitted is called a medium. It can be solid, liquid or gas. Sound moves through a medium from +1
the point of generation to the listener. When an object vibrates, it sets the particles of the medium
around it vibrating. The particles do not travel all the way from the vibrating object to the ear.
Sound waves are characterised by the motion of particles in the medium and are called mechanical
waves.When a vibrating object moves forward, it pushes and compresses the air in front of it
creating a region of high pressure; this region is called a compression(C).When the vibrating object
moves backwards,it creates a region of low pressure called rarefactions (R). Hence sound is a
longitudinal wave.

(a) Differentiate between compression and rarefaction.

(b) Why are sound waves called mechanical waves?
Or
Sound is a longitudinal wave,Why?
(c) What produces sound?
