Ans- It can be said that Nish's nutritional condition is much better than Sunita.Nisha is taking proper nutrition due to which her weight is normel but Sunit is underweight.This is known by finding out the BMI.

Sunita's

BMI-36\1.45*1.45=17.21

Nisha's

BMI-48\1.45*1.45=22.82

Sunita's BMI is 17.21 which is less than 18.5 hence,she is not healthy.Nisha,s BMI is 22.82 which is in between 18.5 and 25,so she is healthy and hence taking proper nutrition.

4)Development goals are differing goals also. Explain with an example.

Ans- Development goals are dii\ffering goals.This is beacuse different people have different situation in life due to which their goals are different.

The goal of a person is something,which is entirely dependent on his or her present life situation.Over a periods of time,if the situation changes,automatically goals of a person will also change.Hence, developmental goals are differing goals also.

Four major facilites are as follows-

1)Basic education- Governement provides school and other educational facilities like chair,books etc to be used by the public.But its use and performance is depended on collective response and community cooperation.

2)Inplace of conventional and non-renewable energy resources,renewable energy resouces must be adopted.

3)New technologies should be developed for judicious use of resources and pollution free environment.

5)'National development of a country depends on the availability of public facilities". How?(CBSE-2015)

Ans-It is right that naional development of a country depends on the availablity of public facilties. Public facilties are those provided by the government.They may be either highly subsidised or totally free of cost for the people.

They are important beacuse poor people do not have enough income to be able to avial facilties provided by the private sector,resulting in difficulties faced like inadequate healthcare,poor nutrition,lack of education etc.

The utility of two public facilities available in India are-

1)The Public Distribution System(PDS) which provides fair average quality of foddgrains and other essential items to the weaker sections of the population at subsidised price.

2)Healthcare in government hospitals and dispensaries,which is provided to all at subsidised rates.This includes outpatient as well as hospitalisation facilities.
