Question 2. Choose any of your relative who stays far away. Find out how you can travel to his/her/town/village/city. Write down information on: Train you can take: ............................. Hours of journey: ............................... Five important stations enroute: ............................................................................................................................................................................ Few states you would cross: ............................................................................................................................................................................
Answer: (Example based on a journey from New Delhi to Chennai):
- Train you can take: Grand Trunk Express (12616) or Tamil Nadu Express (12622)
- Hours of journey: About 28 to 33 hours
- Five important stations enroute: Mathura Junction, Jhansi Junction, Bhopal Junction, Nagpur Junction, and Vijayawada Junction
- Few states you would cross: Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh
In simple words: Plan a sample long-distance train journey by noting down the train name, travel duration, major stations on the way, and states crossed.

Answer: (a) Car and train:
- Car: A road transport vehicle that typically carries 4 to 8 people, runs on roads and highways, and is driven by an individual or family for short or medium distances.
- Train: A rail transport vehicle consisting of multiple connected coaches, runs on iron tracks, can carry thousands of passengers or heavy goods over very long distances across states and countries.

(b) Aeroplane and helicopter:
- Aeroplane: An aircraft with fixed wings that requires a long runway to take off and land, designed for high-speed, long-distance air travel.
- Helicopter: An aircraft with rotating rotor blades on top that can take off and land vertically without a runway, highly useful for rescue operations, mountain areas, and short-distance flights.
In simple words: Cars run on roads for fewer people while trains run on tracks for many people. Aeroplanes need runways for long flights while helicopters hover and land vertically.

Exam Tip: Always structure differences by comparing specific points like medium of travel, passenger capacity, and special features.

Question 4. Look at the picture of given railway ticket. Find the following information on the ticket and circle them with different colours: The train number: Date of start of journey: Berth number: Fare: What other information can you find from the ticket: ....................................................................................................................................
Answer: Based on the sample railway ticket shown in the worksheet:
- The train number: 6732 (Tuticorin Exp)
- Date of start of journey: 22-11-2005
- Berth number: S5, 3 UB (Upper Berth)
- Fare: Rs. 424 (FOUR TWO FOUR ONLY)
- What other information can you find from the ticket: PNR number (444-2239880), distance in kilometers (482 KM), number of adult and child passengers (2 adults, 0 children), boarding station (Bangalore CY JN), destination station (Madurai JN), and scheduled departure time (21:15).
In simple words: Railway tickets contain important details like train numbers, travel dates, seat numbers, fare amounts, and PNR numbers.

Exam Tip: The PNR (Passenger Name Record) number is a unique 10-digit number used to check reservation status.

Answer:
- Means of air transport: Aeroplane, helicopter, jet
- Means of water transport: Ship, boat, ferry
- Means of land transport: Car, train, bus
In simple words: Vehicles are grouped according to where they travel-air, water, or land.

Exam Tip: Memorize two or three examples for each major mode of transport (land, water, air).

Question 6. Differentiate between a 12-hour clock and 24-hour clock.
Ans: ........................................................................................................................................
..................................................................................................................................................
..................................................................................................................................................
..................................................................................................................................................
Answer:
- 12-hour clock: Divides the day into two 12-hour cycles called AM (Ante Meridiem, from midnight to noon) and PM (Post Meridiem, from noon to midnight). Numbers run from 1 to 12.
- 24-hour clock: Uses a continuous 24-hour cycle from 00:00 (midnight) to 23:59 without using AM or PM. It is widely used by railways, defense forces, and airlines to avoid any confusion between morning and night times.
In simple words: A 12-hour clock uses AM and PM to show times twice a day, while a 24-hour clock counts straight from 00 hours to 24 hours.

Exam Tip: To convert a PM time greater than 12 in a 24-hour format, simply add 12 to the hour (for example, 3:00 PM becomes 15:00 hours).
