Q1. In a village, the drinking water sources are located close to open drains, so the water often gets contaminated with sewage. Based on the chapter, the villagers are most likely to suffer from:
एक गाँव में पेयजल के स्रोत खुले नालों के निकट स्थित हैं, जिससे पानी अक्सर मल-जल से दूषित हो जाता है। अध्याय के आधार पर, गाँव के लोगों को सबसे अधिक संभावना है कि वे किससे पीड़ित होंगे:
- A. Diseases spread only by vectors like mosquitoes and houseflies / केवल मच्छरों और घरेलू मक्खियों जैसे वाहकों द्वारा फैलने वाले रोग
- B. Diseases spread only through direct physical contact with an infected person / केवल किसी संक्रमित व्यक्ति के सीधे शारीरिक संपर्क से फैलने वाले रोग
- C. Non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure / मधुमेह और उच्च रक्तचाप जैसे असंचारी रोग
- D. Diseases spread through contaminated water and food, such as cholera and typhoid / दूषित पानी और भोजन से फैलने वाले रोग, जैसे हैजा और टाइफाइड
Solution
Water contaminated with sewage can carry pathogens like those of cholera and typhoid into drinking water and food, causing these diseases to spread among villagers.
मल-जल से दूषित पानी हैजा और टाइफाइड जैसे रोगजनकों को पेयजल और भोजन में ला सकता है, जिससे ये रोग गाँव वालों में फैल सकते हैं।
Q2. Tuberculosis (TB) and the common cold are both communicable diseases that spread mainly through the air, yet the pathogens causing them belong to different groups. Which statement correctly distinguishes them?
तपेदिक (टी.बी.) और सामान्य सर्दी-खांसी (कॉमन कोल्ड) दोनों संचारी रोग हैं जो मुख्यतः हवा से फैलते हैं, फिर भी इन्हें पैदा करने वाले रोगजनक अलग-अलग समूहों से संबंधित हैं। कौन-सा कथन इन्हें सही ढंग से अलग करता है?
- A. TB is caused by bacteria, while the common cold is caused by a virus / टी.बी. बैक्टीरिया के कारण होता है, जबकि सामान्य सर्दी-खांसी वायरस के कारण होती है
- B. Both TB and the common cold are caused by protozoa / टी.बी. और सामान्य सर्दी-खांसी दोनों प्रोटोज़ोआ के कारण होते हैं
- C. TB is caused by a virus, while the common cold is caused by bacteria / टी.बी. वायरस के कारण होता है, जबकि सामान्य सर्दी-खांसी बैक्टीरिया के कारण होती है
- D. Both TB and the common cold are caused by the same bacterium / टी.बी. और सामान्य सर्दी-खांसी दोनों एक ही बैक्टीरिया के कारण होते हैं
Solution
TB is caused by a bacterium, while the common cold is caused by a virus, even though both diseases spread mainly through the air from an infected person.
टी.बी. एक बैक्टीरिया के कारण होता है, जबकि सामान्य सर्दी-खांसी एक वायरस के कारण होती है, हालांकि दोनों रोग मुख्यतः संक्रमित व्यक्ति से हवा के माध्यम से फैलते हैं।
Q3. For an entire community to remain healthy, which combination of factors, as discussed in the chapter, is most essential?
संपूर्ण समुदाय को स्वस्थ बने रहने के लिए, अध्याय में चर्चा किए गए कारकों में से कौन-सा संयोजन सबसे आवश्यक है?
- A. Regular physical exercise and avoidance of addiction / नियमित शारीरिक व्यायाम और नशे से परहेज
- B. A balanced diet and adequate sleep for every individual / हर व्यक्ति के लिए संतुलित आहार और पर्याप्त नींद
- C. Safe drinking water, proper sanitation and immunization programmes / सुरक्षित पेयजल, उचित स्वच्छता और प्रतिरक्षण कार्यक्रम
- D. Good posture and personal cleanliness habits / अच्छी शारीरिक स्थिति (पॉस्चर) और व्यक्तिगत स्वच्छता की आदतें
Solution
Safe drinking water, proper sanitation and immunization programmes are community-level arrangements that protect the health of the whole population, unlike personal habits which protect only the individual.
सुरक्षित पेयजल, उचित स्वच्छता और प्रतिरक्षण कार्यक्रम सामुदायिक स्तर की व्यवस्थाएँ हैं जो संपूर्ण जनसंख्या के स्वास्थ्य की रक्षा करती हैं, जबकि व्यक्तिगत आदतें केवल व्यक्ति विशेष की रक्षा करती हैं।
