Read the passage and answer questions 25 to 29.
Each time a sitar virtuoso tugs at your heartstrings, it might just be an ode to some nimble fingers in faraway
Dadpur. The nondescript village in Uluberia in Bengal's Howrah district literally rises with string melody and sleeps
with it. Most of its 250-odd households are engaged in making sitars, surbahars and guitars.
"This art is different from many others. It requires not just delicate craftsmanship, but a refined sense of music too.
That's achieved through rigorous training, passion and perseverance", said Shyamal Halder whose father Tarapada
Halder started nearly 65 years back when he went to Lucknow as a youth and learnt to make stringed instruments.
Dadpur's instruments have travelled far and wide, across the country and abroad. Many in the village have
shifted to making instruments of other professions.
"Sitars and surbahars are made in 12 workshops in this village. At least one member from each household is into
this," said Samar Mondal, who has been engaged in one of the workshops for 17 years. Crafting a sitar is an intricate task.
Each part - body making, curving, engraving, polishing and tuning requires craftsmen specialising in that particular
aspect.
Abhijit Mondal switched to instrument-making a few years back. He is now an expert in designing sitars and
surbahars. "Not a single part is made with the help of a machine. It is wholly dependent on human skills and acumen,''
said Abhijit.
Kolkata, Varanasi, Lucknow, Pune, Delhi and Patna are among the cities from where Dadpur gets big orders.
"Apart from bulk sales, we get individual orders from across the country. Many popular brands take unfinished
instruments from us," said Dipak. These brands later customise the instruments according to their specifications. "They
never compromise on quality. The price is reasonable, affordable even for beginners."
Most craftsmen complained that they did not make enough money in spite of their full-time engagement and the
high market value of their instruments, especially when these were marketed by big players.

Read the passage and answer the questions (74 to 78) that follow by choosing the correct options.
No treatment on the market today has been proved to slow human aging. But one intervention, consumption of a
low-calorie yet nutritionally balanced diet, works incredibly well in a broad range of animals, increasing longevity and
prolonging good health. Those findings suggest that caloric restriction could delay aging and increase longevity in
humans, too. But what if someone could create a pill that mimicked the physiological effects of eating less without
actually forcing people to eat less, a 'caloric restriction mimetic' ?
The best-studied candidate for a caloric-restriction mimetic, 2DG (2-deoxy-D glucose), works by interfering with
the way cells process glucose. It has proved toxic in some doses in animals and so cannot be used in humans. But it has
demonstrated that chemicals can replicate the effects of caloric restriction; the trick is finding the right one.
Cells use the glucose from food to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecule that powers many activities
in the body. By limiting food intake, caloric restriction minimizes the amount of glucose entering cells and decreases ATP
generation.
When 2DG is administered to animals that eat normally, glucose reaches cells in abundance but the drug prevents
most of it from being processed and thus reduces ATP synthesis. Researchers have proposed several explanations for
why interruption of glucose processing and ATP production might retard aging.
One possibility relates to the ATP-making machinery's emission of free radicals, which are thought to contribute
to aging and to such age-related disease as cancer by damaging cells. Reduced operation of the machinery should limit
their production and thereby constrain the damage. Another hypothesis suggests that decreased processing of glucose
could indicate to cells that food is scarce (even if it isn't) and induce them to shift into an anti-aging mode that emphasizes
preservation of the organism over such 'luxuries' as growth and reproduction. (Adapted from 'The Serious Search for an
Anti-Aging Pill.')
