PassageFor questions 36–40
निम्नलिखित अवतरण को ध्यानपूर्वक पढ़कर प्रश्न संख्या 36 से 40 तक का सही विकल्प चुनकर उत्तर दीजिए।
धर्म पालन करने के मार्ग में सबसे अधिक बाधा चित्त की चंचलता, उद्देश्य की अस्थिरता और मन की निर्बलता से पड़ती है। मनुष्य के कर्त्तव्य मार्ग में एक ओर तो आत्मा के बुरे-भले कामों का ज्ञान दूसरी ओर आलस्य और स्वार्थपरता रहती है। बस मनुष्य इन्हीं दोनों के बीच में पड़ा रहता है। अंत में यदि उसका मन पक्का हुआ, तो वह आत्मा की आज्ञा मानकर अपना धर्म पालन करता है, पर उसका मन दुविधा में पड़ा रहा है, तो स्वार्थपरता उसे निश्चित ही घेरेगी और उसका चरित्र घृणा के योग्य हो जायेगा। इसलिए यह बहुत आवश्यक है कि आत्मा जिस बात को करने की प्रवृत्ति दें, उसे बिना स्वार्थ सोचे, झटपट कर डालना चाहिए। इस संसार में जितने बड़े-बड़े लोग हुए हैं सभी ने अपने कर्त्तव्य को सबसे श्रेष्ठ माना है, क्योंकि जितने कर्म उन्होंने किए उन सबने अपने कर्त्तव्य पर ध्यान देकर न्याय का बर्ताव किया। जिन जातियों में यह गुण पाया जाता है। वे ही संसार में उन्नति करती हैं और संसार में उनका नाम आदर से लिया जाता है। जो लोग स्वार्थी होकर अपने कर्त्तव्य पर ध्यान नहीं देते, वे संसार में लज्जित होते हैं और सब लोग उनसे घृणा करते हैं।
36. धर्म पालन करने में बाधा डालने वाली प्रवृत्तियाँ कौन-सी हैं?
- (a) धर्म का ज्ञान न होना।
- (b) कमजोर मन, उद्देश्य का निश्चित न होना तथा चंचल मनोवृत्ति का होना।

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow (Q. No. 76 to 80) by selecting the most appropriate option.
Helicopters are very different from airplanes. They can do three things that airplanes cannot do. First, when airplanes move upward, they must also move forward, but helicopters can move straight up without moving ahead. Second, helicopters can fly backward, which airplanes cannot do. Third, helicopters can use their rotors to hover in the air, which is impossible for planes. Helicopters can perform actions that airplanes cannot, they are used for different tasks. Since helicopters can take off without moving forward, they do not need a runway for take off. They are used in congested areas where there is no room for airplanes or in isolated areas, which do not have airports. Because they can hover, they are used on fire fighting missions to drop water on fires. They are used in logging operations to lift trees out of forests. Helicopters are used as air ambulances to airlift patients out of situations, which are difficult to reach, by conventional ambulances. The police use helicopters to follow suspects on the ground or to search for cars on the ground. Of course, helicopters have military uses because of their design and capabilities.
