Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follows :

Another time emphasizing entity is the factory and its dependent, the office. Factories exist for the purpose of getting certain quantities of goods made in a certain time. The old artisan worked as it suited him, with the result that consumers generally had to wait for the goods they had ordered from him. The factory is a device for making workmen hurry. The machine revolves so often each minute: so many movements have to be made, so many pieces produced each hour. Result, the factory worker is compelled to know time in its smallest fractions. In the handwork age, there was no such compulsion to be aware of minutes and seconds.

To our ancestors, such an odd eccentric instant was without significance — did not even exist. In inventing the locomotive, Watt and Stevenson were part inventors of time.

Time is our tyrant. We are chronically aware of the moving minute hand, even of the moving second hand. We have to be. There are trains to be caught, clocks to be punched, tasks to be done in specified periods, records to be broken by fractions of a second, machines that set the pace and have to be kept up with. Our consciousness of the smallest units of time is now acute. To us, for example, the moment 8.17 a.m. means something — something very important, if it happens to be the starting time of our daily train.

Questions :

1. Why is time our tyrant ?
2. Why is our consciousness of the smallest units of time acute in the present age ?
3. What is the other time-emphasizing entity ?
4. How does factory makes workmen hurry ?
5. Explain briefly the following :
   1. Chronically
   2. Our consciousness.

A man who performs his duty feels inward strength and confidence, with the result that before his strong will and pure conscience difficulties melt and obstacles vanish thus making his path smooth. Seren will be our day and bright and happy will our nature, be when everybody does his duty honesty. One gets pure joy born of the consciousness of having done one's duty honestly.

Translate the following passage into Hindi :

The Constitution of India is not intended to be static. It is by its very nature dynamic. It is a living and organic thing. It is an instrument which has greatest value to be, construed ut res valeat potior quam pereat (the construction should be preferred which makes the machinery workable). Our constitution reflects the beliefs and political aspirations of those who had framed it. It is therefore, desirable that while considering the question as to whether 27% fixed for the other backward classes is to be maintained without definite data the rights of those who belong to the unfortunate categories of other economic backward classes deserve to be concerned, else there shall be no other Backward. classes.
