C. State whether the following statements are True or False with reasons:

Question 1.
An Inland bill is one that is drawn in one country and payable in another country.
Answer:
This statement is False.
Inland bill means, a bill drawn, accepted, and made payable within the territory of one and same, country. So, a bill is drawn in one country and payable in another country can’t be an inland bill.

Question 2.
Retirement of the bill means payment of the bill before the due date.
Answer:
This statement is True.
Payment of the bill, by the acceptor of the bill to the holder of the bill before the due date, is known as Retirement of the bill. So retirement of the bill means payment of the bill before the due date.

Question 3.
Drawee can transfer the ownership of the bill.
Answer:
This statement is False.
Drawee is a debtor. He has to pay the amount of the bill to its holder on the due date. Hence he cannot transfer its ownership to other people. The drawer can transfer the ownership of the bill as he is the owner of the bill.

Question 4.
Acceptance of the bill without making any changes in the terms of the bill is called qualified acceptance.
Answer:
This statement is False.
Acceptance of the bill with some changes as regards the terms, amount, place, etc. of a bill is known as qualified acceptance. Acceptance of the bill without making changes as regards the term is called general acceptance.

Question 5.
Discounting is a device to convert the bill into its present value.
Answer:
This statement is True.
When the drawer or holder of the bill approaches the bank to discount the bill, the bank pays the bill amount after deducting a certain amount (which is known as discounting charges). It means conversion of the bill into its present value in cash. So, we can say that discounting is a device to convert the bill into its present value.

Question 6.
A bill of exchange must be presented to the acceptor on the due date.
Answer:
This statement is True.
To get the payment of the bill from the acceptor, the holder of the bill is required to present it to the acceptor on its due date. Acceptor either honours the bill or dishonours the bill.

Question 7.
If a bill is discounted by the holder, no entry is passed in his book when the bill is honoured on the due date.
Answer:
This statement is True.
On discounting the bill the holder gives the possession of the bill to the bank. On the maturity date, the bank has to present the bill to the drawee to collect the payment. When the discounted bill is honoured, the transaction takes place between drawee and bank.

Question 8.
Noting charges are to be borne by the drawer.
Answer:
This statement is False.
Noting charges are to be borne by the drawee only as due to his act of non-payment, the bill is dishonoured and the drawer is not able to get money on its due date.

Question 9.
If a bill is drawn payable ‘on demand’ no grace days are allowed.
Answer:
This statement is True.
‘On demand’ means the amount of the bill is to be paid by drawee immediately on presentation of the bill as no time period is mentioned on it. In demand bill, 3 days grace is not allowed by law.

Question 10.
There are three parties to a promissory note.
Answer:
This statement is False.
There are only two parties to a promissory note, i.e. Drawer or maker of the note and drawee or payee of the note.

H. Calculations:

Question 1.
Ganesh draws a bill for ₹ 40,260 on 15th Jan. 2020 for 50 days. He discounted the bill with the Bank of India @ 15 % p.a. on the same day. Calculate the amount of discount.
Solution:
Discount = Amount of Bill × \(\frac{\text { Rate }}{100} \times \frac{\text { Unexpired days }}{366}\)
= 40,260 × \(\frac{15}{100} \times \frac{50}{366}\)
= ₹ 825
(Note: 2020 is a Leap year, so the total number of days = 366)

Question 2.
Shefali Traders drew a bill on Maya for ₹ 30,000 on 1st Oct. 2019 payable after 3 months.
Calculate the amount of discount in the following cases:
(i) Shefali Traders discounted the bill on the same day @ 12 % p.a.
(ii) Shefali Traders discounted the bill on 1st Nov. 2019 @ 12 % p.a.
(iii) Shefali Traders discounted the bill on 1st Dec. 2019 @ 12 % p.a.
Solution:
Discount = Amount of Bill × \(\frac{\text { Rate }}{100} \times \frac{\text { Unexpired days }}{365}\)
(i) Discount = 30,000 × \(\frac{12}{100} \times \frac{3}{12}\) = ₹ 900
(ii) Discount = 30,000 × \(\frac{12}{100} \times \frac{2}{12}\) = ₹ 600
(iii) Discount = 30,000 × \(\frac{12}{100} \times \frac{1}{12}\) = ₹ 300

Question 3.
Veena who had accepted Sudha’s bill for ₹ 28,000 was declared bankrupt and only 35 paise in a rupee could be recovered from her estate. Calculate the amount of bad debts.
Solution:
From Veena, only 35 paise in a rupee could be recovered i.e. 65 paise in a rupee is bad debt for Sudha. So 65% of ₹ 28,000 = ₹ 18,200 is the amount of bad debts.

Question 4.
Nitin renewed his acceptance for ₹ 72,000 by paying ₹ 22,000 in cash and accepting a new bill for the balance plus interest @ 18%. p.a. for 4 months. Calculate the amount of the new bill.
Selution:
For Nitin,
Total outstanding = ₹ 72,000
Nitin paid in cash= ₹ 22,000
Remaining dues = ₹ 50,000
Now, on this ₹ 50,000 we have to calculate interest @ 18% for 4 months
I = \(\frac{\mathrm{PRN}}{100}\)
= 50,000 × \(\frac{18}{100} \times \frac{4}{12}\)
= ₹ 3,000
So, amount of new bill = Remaining dues + Interest
= 50,000 + 3,000
= ₹ 53,000

Question 5.
Nisha’s acceptance for ₹ 16,850 sent to the bank for the collection was honoured and bank charges debited were ₹ 125. Find out the amount actually received by Drawer.
Solution:
Bill of ₹ 16,850 sent to the bank for collection and it is honoured and bank charges = ₹ 125
So, actual amount received by drawer = 16,850 – 125 = ₹ 16,725.

Question 6.

Solution :
Given : E⁰_Ni²⁺/Ni = -0.25 V
E⁰_Al³⁺/Al = – 1.66 V; E⁰_cell = ?
Since Ni is oxidised and Al³⁺ is reduced,

3. Answer the following in brief

Question i.
Explain the effect of dilution of solution on conductivity ?
Answer:

• The conductance of a solution is due to the presence of ions in the solution. More the ions, higher is the conductance of the solution.
• Conductivity or the specific conductance is the conductance of unit volume (1 cm³) of the electrolytic solution.
• The conductivity of the electrolytic solution always decreases with the decrease in the concentration of the electrolyte or the increase in dilution of the solution.
• On dilution, the concentration of the solution decreases, hence the number of (current carrying) ions per unit volume decreases. Therefore the conductivity of the solution decreases, with the decrease concentration or increase in dilution. (It is to be noted here that, molar conductivity increases with dilution.)

Question ii.
What is a salt bridge ?
Answer:
A salt bridge is a U-shaped glass tube containing a saturated solution of a strong electrolyte, like KCl, NH₄NO₃, Na₂SO₄ in a solidified agar-agar gel. A hot saturated solution of these electrolytes in 5% agar solution is filled in the U-shaped tube and allowed it to cool and solidify forming a gel.

Fig. 5.9 : Salt bridge
It is used to connect two half cells or electrodes forming a galvanic or voltaic cell.

Question iii.
Write electrode reactions for the electrolysis of aqueous NaCl.
Answer:
Reactions in electrolytic cell :
(i) Reduction half reaction at cathode : There are Na⁺ and H⁺ions but since H⁺ are more reducible than Na⁺, they undergo reduction liberating hydrogen and Na⁺ are left in the solution.
2H₂O_(l) + 2e^– → H_2(g) + 2OH^–_(aq) (reduction) E⁰ = -0.83 V

(ii) Oxidation half reaction at anode : At anode there are Cl^– and OH^–. But Cl^– ions are preferably oxidised due to less decomposition potential.

Net cell reaction : Since two electrons are gained at cathode and two electrons are released at anode for each redox step, the electrical neutrality is maintained. Hence we can write,

Since Na⁺ and OH^– are left in the solution, they form NaOH_(aq).

Question iv.
How many moles of electrons are passed when 0.8 ampere current is passed for 1 hour through molten CaCl₂ ?

Number of moles of electrons = ?
Q = I × t
= 0.8 × 3600
= 2880 C
1 Faraday = 1 mol electrons
1 Faraday = 96500 C
∵ 96500 C = 1 mol electrons
∴ 2880 C ≡ \(\frac{2880}{96500}\)
= 0.02984 mol electrons
Ans. Number of moles of electrons = 0.02984

Question v.
Construct a galvanic cell from the electrodes Co³⁺|Co and Mn²⁺|Mn. \(\boldsymbol{E}_{\mathrm{Co}}^{0}\) = 1.82 V,
\(\boldsymbol{E}_{\mathrm{Mn}}^{0}\) = – 1.18V. Calculate \(\boldsymbol{E}_{\text {cell }}^{0}\).
Answer:

Question vi.
Using the relationsip between ∆G⁰ of cell reaction and the standard potential associated with it, how will you show that the electrical potential is an intensive property ?
Answer:
(1) For an electrochemical cell involving n number of electrons in the overall cell reaction,
ΔG⁰ = -nF\(E_{\text {cell }}^{0}\)
where ΔG⁰ is standard Gibbs energy change and \(E_{\text {cell }}^{0}\) is a standard cell potential.
(2) ∴ \(E_{\mathrm{cell}}^{0}=\frac{-\Delta G^{0}}{n F}\)
Since ΔG⁰ changes according to number of moles of electrons involved in the cell reaction, the ratio, ΔG⁰/nF remains constant.
(3) Therefore \(E_{\text {cell }}^{0}\) is independent of the amount of substance and it represents the intensive property.

Question vii.
Derive the relationship between standard cell potential and equilibrium constant of cell reaction.
Answer:
For any galvanic cell, the overall cell reaction at equilibrium can be represented as,
Reactants ⇌ Products.
[For example for Daniell cell,
\(\mathrm{Zn}_{(s)}+\mathrm{Cu}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{2+} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Zn}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{2+}+\mathrm{Cu}_{(\mathrm{s})}\) ]
The equilibrium constant, K for the reversible reaction will be, \(K=\frac{[\text { Products }]}{[\text { Reactants }]}\)

The equilibrium constant is related to the stan-dard free energy change Δ G⁰, as follows,
ΔG⁰ = -RTlnK
If \(E_{\text {cell }}^{0}\) is the standard cell potential (or emf) of the galvanic cell, then ΔG⁰ = -nFE⁰_cell
By comparing above equations,

Question viii.
It is impossible to measure the potential of a single electrode. Comment.
Answer:
(1)

Fig 5.12(a) : Measurement of single electrode potential

Fig 5.12(b) : Measurement of cell potential
According to Nemst theory, electrode potential is the potential difference between the metal and ionic layer around it at equilibrium, i.e. the potential across the electric double layer.

(2) For measuring the single electrode potential, one part of the double layer, that is metallic layer can be connected to the potentiometer but not the ionic layer. Hence, single electrode potential can’t be measured experimentally.

(3) When an electrochemical cell is developed by combining two half cells or electrodes, they can be connected to the potentiometer and the potential difference or cell potential can be measured.
E_cell = E₂ – E₁
where E₁ and E₂ are reduction potentials of two electrodes.

Question ix.
Why do the cell potential of lead accumulators decrease when it generates electricity ? How the cell potential can be increased ?
Answer:
Working of a lead accumulator :
(1) Discharging : When the electric current is withdrawn from lead accumulator, the following reactions take place :

(2) Net cell reaction :
(i) Thus, the overall cell reaction during discharging is

OR
Pb_(s) + PbO_2(s) + 2H₂SO_4(aq) → 2PbSO_4(s) + 2H₂O_(l)
The cell potential or emf of the cell depends upon the concentration of sulphuric acid. During the operation, the acid is consumed and its concentration decreases and specific gravity decreases from 1.28 to 1.17. As a result, the emf of the cell decreases. The emf of a fully charged cell is about 2.0 V.

(ii) Recharging of the cell : When the discharged battery is connected to external electric source and a higher external potential is applied the cell reaction gets reversed generating H₂SO₄.
Reduction at the -ve electrode or cathode :
PbSO4_(s) + 2e^– → Pb_(s) + \(\mathrm{SO}_{4(\mathrm{aq})}^{2-}\)
Oxidation at the + ve electrode or anode :

The emf of the accumulator depends only on the concentration of H₂SO₄.

Question x.
Write the electrode reactions and net cell reaction in NICAD battery.
Answer:
Reactions in the cell :
(i) Oxidation at cadmium anode :
Cd_(s) + 2OH^–_(aq) → Cd(OH)_2(s) + 2e^–
(ii) Reduction at NiO_2(s) cathode :
NiO_2(s) + 2H₂O_(l) + 2e^– → Ni(OH)_2(s) + 2OH^–_(aq)
The overall cell reaction is the combination of above two reactions.
Cd_(s) + NiO_2(s) + 2H₂O_(l) → Cd(OH)_2(s) + Ni(OH)_2(s)

4. Answer the following :

Question i.
What is Kohrausch law of independent migration of ions? How is it useful in obtaining molar conductivity at zero concentration of a weak electrolyte ? Explain with an example.
Answer:
(A) Statement of Kohlrausch’s law : This states that at infinite dilution of the solution, each ion of an electrolyte migrates independently of its co-ions and contributes independently to the total molar conductivity of the electrolyte, irrespective of the nature of other ions present in the solution.

(B) Explanation : Both the ions, cation and anion of the electrolyte make a definite contribution to the molar conductivity of the electrolyte at infinite dilution or zero concentration (∧₀).
If \(\lambda_{+}^{0}\) and \(\lambda_{-}^{0}\) are the molar ionic conductivities of cation and anion respectively at infinite dilution, then
∧₀ = \(\lambda_{+}^{0}\) + \(\lambda_{-}^{0}\).
This is known as Kohlrausch’s law of independent migration of ions.
For an electrolyte, B_xA_y giving x number of cations and y number of anions,
∧₀ = x\(\lambda_{+}^{0}\) + y\(\lambda_{-}^{0}\).

(C) Applications of Kohlrausch’s law :
(1) With this law, the molar conductivity of a strong electrolyte at zero concentration can be determined. For example,
\(\wedge_{0(\mathrm{KCl})}=\lambda_{\mathrm{K}^{+}}^{0}-\lambda_{\mathrm{Cl}^{-}}^{0}\)
(2) ∧₀ values of weak electrolyte with those of strong electrolytes can be obtained. For example,

Molar conductivity of a weak electrolyte at infinite dilution or zero concentration cannot be measured experimentally.
Consider the molar conductivity (∧₀) of a weak acid, CH₃COOH at zero concentration. By Kohlrausch s law,

where λ⁰CH₃COO^– and λ⁰_H⁺ are the molar ionic conductivities of CH₃COO^– and H⁺ ions respectively.
If ∧_0CH3COONa, ∧_0HCl and ∧_0NaCl are molar conductivities of CH₃COONa, HCl and NaCl respectively at zero concentration, then by
Kohlrausch’s law,

Hence, from ∧₀ values of strong electrolytes, ∧₀ of a weak electrolyte CH₃COOH, at infinite dilution can be calculated.

Question ii.
Explain electrolysis of molten NaCl.
Answer:
(1) Construction of an electrolytic cell : It consists of a vessel containing molten (fused) NaCl. Two graphite (carbon) inert electrodes are dipped in it, and connected to an external source of direct electric current (battery). The electrode connected to a negative terminal of the battery is a cathode and that connected to a positive terminal is an anode.

(2) Working of the cell :
(A) In the external circuit, the electrons flow through the wires from anode to cathode of the cell.
(B) The fused NaCl dissociates to form cations (Na⁺) and anions (Cl^–).
\(\mathrm{NaCl}_{\text {(fused) }} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}_{(\mathrm{l})}^{+}+\mathrm{Cl}_{(\mathrm{l})}^{-}\)
Na⁺ migrate towards cathode and Cl^– migrate towards anode.

Fig. 5.7 : Electrolysis of fused sodium chloride

(C) Reactions in electrolytic cell :
(i) Reduction half reaction at cathode : The Na⁺ ions get reduced by accepting electrons from a cathode supplied by a battery and form metallic sodium.
\(\mathrm{Na}^{+}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}_{(\mathrm{s})} \text { (reduction) }\)

(ii) Oxidation half reaction at anode : The Cl^– ions get oxidised by giving up electrons to the anode forming neutral Cl atoms in the primary process, and these Cl atoms combine forming Cl₂ gas in the secondary process.

The released electrons in the anodic oxidation half reaction return to battery through the metallic wires.

Net cell reaction : In order to maintain the electrical neutrality, the number of electrons gained at cathode must be equal to the number of electrons released at anode. Hence the reduction half reaction is multiplied by 2 and both reactions, oxidation half reaction and reduction half reaction are added to obtain a net cell reaction.

Results of electrolysis :

• A molten silvery white Na is formed at cathode which floats on the surface of molten NaCl.
• A pale green Cl₂ gas is liberated at anode.

= 0.763 – 0.0296 × (- 0.8521)
= 0.763 + 0.02522
= 0.7882
Ans. \(E_{\text {cell }}^{0}\) = 0.7882 V

Answer:

Question vii.
What is a cell constant ? What are its units? How is it determined experimentally?
Answer:
(A) Cell constant of a conductivity cell is defined as the ratio of the distance between the electrodes divided by the area of cross section of the electrodes.

In SI units it is expected as m^-1.

The resistance of an electrolytic solution is measured by using a conductivity cell and Wheatstone

Fig. 5.6 : Measurement of conductance
The measurement of molar conductivity of a solution involves two steps as follows :
Step I : Determination of cell constant of the conductivity cell :
KCl solution (0.01 M) whose conductivity is accurately known (κ = 0.00141 Ω^-1 cm^-1) is taken in a beaker and the conductivity cell is dipped. The two electrodes of the cell are connected to one arm while the variable known resistance (R) is placed in another arm of Wheatstone bridge.

A current detector D’ which is a head phone or a magic eye is used. J is the sliding jockey (contact) that slides on the arm AB which is a wire of uniform cross section. A source of A.C. power (alternating power) is used to avoid electrolysis of the solution.

By sliding the jockey on wire AB, a balance point (null point) is obtained at C. Let AC and BC be the lengths of wire.

If R_solution is the resistance of KCl solution and R_x is the known resistance then by Wheatstone’s bridge principle,
\(\frac{R_{\text {solution }}}{\mathrm{BC}}=\frac{R_{x}}{\mathrm{AC}}\)
∴ \(R_{\text {solution }}=\mathrm{BC} \times \frac{R_{x}}{\mathrm{AC}}\)
Then the cell constant ‘ b ’ of the conductivity cell is obtained by, b = κ_Kcl × R_solution.

Step II : Determination of conductivity of the given solution :
KCl solution is replaced by the given electrolytic solution and its resistance (R_s) is measured by Wheatstone bridge method by similar manner by obtaining a null point at D.
The conductivity (κ) of the given solution is,
κ = \(\frac{\text { cell constant }}{R_{\mathrm{s}}}=\frac{b}{R_{\mathrm{s}}}\)

Step III: Calculation of molar conductivity :
The molar conductivity (∧_m) is given by,

Since the concentration of the solution is known, ∧_m can be calculated.

Question viii.
How will you calculate the moles of electrons passed and mass of the substance produced during electrolysis of a salt solution using reaction stoichiometry.
Answer:
Calculation of moles of electrons passed : The charge carried by one mole of electrons is referred to as one faraday (F). If total charge passed is Q C, then moles of electrons passed = \(\frac{Q(\mathrm{C})}{F\left(\mathrm{C} / \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{e}^{-}\right)}\)

Calculation of mass of product : Mass, W of product formed is given by,
W = moles of product × molar mass of product (M)
= \(\frac{Q}{96500}\) × mole ratio × M
= \(\frac{I \times t}{96500}\) × mole ratio × M 96500
When two electrolytic cells containing different electrolytes are connected in series so that same quantity of electricity is passed through them, then the masses W₁ and W₂ of products produced are given by,

Question ix.
Write the electrode reactions when lead storage cell generates electricity. What are the anode and cathode and the electrode reactions during its recharging?

Reduction at the – ve electrode or cathode :
\(\mathrm{PbSO}_{4(\mathrm{~s})}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Pb}^{(s)}+\mathrm{SO}_{4(\mathrm{aq})}^{2-}\)
Oxidation at the + ve electrode or anode :

The emf of the accumulator depends only on the concentration of H₂SO₄.

Question x.

Answer:
Construction :
(i) In fuel cell the anode and cathode are porous electrodes with suitable catalyst like finely divided platinum.

(iii) H₂ is continuously bubbled through anode while O, gas is bubbled through cathode.

Working (cell reactions) :
(i) Oxidation at anode : At anode, hydrogen gas is oxidised to H₂O.
2H_2(g) + 4OH^–_(aq) → 4H₂O_(l) + 4e^– (oxidation half reaction)
(ii) Reduction at cathode : The electrons released at anode travel to cathode through external circuit and reduce oxygen gas to OH^–.
O_2(g) + 2H₂O_(l) + 4e^– → 4OH^–_(aq) (reduction half reaction)

(iii) Net cell reaction: Addition of both the above reactions at anode and cathode gives a net cell reaction.
2H_2(g) + O_2(g) → 2H₂O_(l) (overall cell reaction)

Question xi.
What are anode and cathode for Leclanche’ dry cell ? Write electrode reactions and overall cell reaction when it generates electricity.
Answer:
A dry cell has zinc vessel as anode and graphite rod as cathode and moist paste of ZnCl₂, MnO₂, NH₄Cl as electrolytes.

Answer:

12th Chemistry Digest Chapter 5 Electrochemistry Intext Questions and Answers

Question 1.
How does electrical resistance depend on the dimensions of an electronic (metallic) conductor?
Answer:
The electrical resistance of an electronic conductor is linearly proportional to its length (l) and inversely proportional to its cross section area a.

Fig. 5.3 : Electronic conductor
Thus, R ∝ l; R ∝ \(\frac{1}{a}\)
∴ R ∝ \(\frac{l}{a}\) or R = ρ × \(\frac{l}{a}\)
where the proportionality constant p is called specific resistance. IUPAC recommends the term resistivity for specific resistance.

Question 2.
What are the units of resistivity ?
Answer:
For an electronic conductor of length l, and cross section area a, the resistance R is represented as
R = ρ × \(\frac{l}{a}\)
where ρ is the resistivity of the conductor.
∴ ρ = R × \(\frac{a}{l}\)
If l = 1 m, a = 1 m², ρ = R

Hence, resistivity is the resistance of a conductor of volume of 1 m³.
(In C.G.S. units, the units of ρ are ohm cm. Hence, ρ is the resistance of a conductor of unit volume or 1 cm³.)

Question 3.
Define resistivity. What are its units ?
Answer:
Resistivity (or specific resistance) : It is the resistance of a conductor that is 1 m in length and 1 m² in cross section area in SI units. (In C.G.S. units, it is the resistance of a conductor that is 1 cm in length and 1 cm² in cross section area.) Hence, the resistivity is the resistance of a conductor of unit volume. (In case of electrolytic solution, ρ is the resistivity i.e., resistance of a solution of unit volume.)
It has SI units, ohm m and C.G.S. units, ohm cm.

Question 4.
Why is alternating current used in the measurement of conductivity of the solution ?

Question 1.
Obtain the expression for dissociation constant in terms of ∧_c and ∧₀ using Ostwald’s dilution law.
Answer:
Consider a solution of a weak electrolyte, BA having concentration C mol dm^-3. If α is the degree of dissociation, then by Ostwald’s theory of weak electrolytes,

If K is the dissociation constant of the weak electrolyte, then by Ostwald’s dilution law,
K = \(\frac{\alpha^{2} C}{(1-\alpha)}\)
If ∧_m is the molar conductivity of the electrolyte BA at the concentration C and ∧₀ is the molar conductivity at zero concentration or infinite dilution, then

Hence by measuring ∧_m at the concentration C and knowing ∧₀, the dissociation constant can be calculated.
If \(\lambda_{+}^{0}\) and \(\lambda_{-}^{0}\) are the ionic conductivities, then by Kohlrauseh’s law, ∧₀ = \(\lambda_{+}^{0}\) + \(\lambda_{-}^{0}\).

Question 1.
How is the cell constant of a conductivity cell determined?
Answer:
The cell constant of a given conductivity cell is obtained by measuring the resistance (R) (or the conductance) of a standard solution whose conductivity (f_c) is accurately known by using Wheatstone’s bridge (discussed in Q. 37). For this purpose, KCl solution of accurately known conductivity is used.
\(\kappa_{\mathrm{KCl}}=\frac{1}{R_{\mathrm{KCl}}} \times \frac{l}{a}\) where \(\frac{l}{a}\) is a cell constant, represented by b.
∴ \(\kappa_{\mathrm{KCl}}=\frac{b}{R_{\mathrm{KCl}}}\)
or b = κ_KCl × R_KCl
For example, the conductivity of 0.01 M KCl is 0.00141 Ω^-1 cm^-1 (S cm^-1). Hence by measuring R KCl the cell constant b can be obtained.

Question 1.
Describe different types of reversible electrodes with examples. (1 mark for each type)
Answer:
A reversible electrochemical cell or a galvanic cell consists of two reversible half cells or electrodes. There are four types of reversible electrodes according to their compositions.
(1) Metal-metal ion electrode : This electrode is set up by dipping a metal in a solution containing its own ions, e.g. Zn rod dipped into ZnSO₄ solution containing Zn⁺⁺ ions of concentration C.
It is represented as,
\(\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}{ }_{(\mathrm{aq})} \mid \mathrm{Zn}_{(\mathrm{s})}\)
The reduction reaction at the electrode is,
Zn⁺⁺_(aq) + 2e^– → Zn_(s)

(2) Metal-sparingly soluble salt electrode : This electrode consists of a metal coated with one of its sparingly soluble salts and immersed in a solution containing an electrolyte having a common anion as that of the salt. For example, silver electrode coated with sparingly soluble AgCl dipped in KCl solution with common anion Cl^–. This electrode is represented as,
Cl^–_(aq) | AgCl_(s) | Ag_(s)
The reduction reaction is,
AgCl_(s) + e → Ag_(s) + Cl^–_(aq)

(3) Gas electrode : This is developed by bubbling pure and dry gas around a platinised platinum foil dipped in the solution containing ions (of the gas) reversible with respect to the gas bubbled.
The gas is adsorbed on the surface of platinum foil and establishes an equilibrium with its ions in the solution. Pt electrode provides electrical contact and also acts as a catalyst.
Some of the gas electrodes are represented as follows :
(i) Hydrogen gas electrode :
H⁺_(aq) | H₂(g, P_H2) | Pt
Reduction reaction : H⁺_(aq) + e^– → \(\frac {1}{2}\)H_2(g)
(ii) Chlorine gas electrode :
Cl^–_(aq) | Cl₂(g, PCl₂) | Pt
Reduction reaction : \(\frac {1}{2}\)Cl_2(g) + e- → Cl^–_(aq)

(4) Redox electrode (Oxidation reduction electrode) : This electrode consists of a platinum wire dipped in a solution containing the ions of the same metal (or a substance) in two different oxidation states, like Fe²⁺ – Fe³⁺, Sn²⁺ – Sn⁴⁺, Mn⁺⁺ – MnO^–₄, etc.
A platinum electrode which provides an electrical contact and acts as catalyst aquires an equilibrium between two ions in the solution, due to their tendency to undergo a change from one oxidation state to another. The electrodes are represented as,
Fe²⁺_(aq), Fe³⁺_(aq) | Pt
Reduction reaction : Fe³⁺_(aq) + e^– → Fe²⁺_(aq)
SnCl_2(aq), SnCl_4(aq) | Pt
Reduction reaction : Sn⁴⁺_(aq) + 2e^– →Sn²⁺_(aq)

Question 1.
The construction and working of the calomel electrode.
Answer:
(1) Since standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) is not convenient for experimental use, a secondary reference electrode like calomel electrode is used.
(2) Construction : It consists of a glass vessel with side arm B for dipping in a desired solution of another electrode like, ZnSO_4(aq) for an electric contact. The vessel is filled with mercury, a paste of Hg and Hg₂Cl₂ (calomel) and saturated KCl solution.

Fig. 5.15 : Determination of standard electrode potential using calomel electrode
(3) The potential developed depends upon the concentration of Cl^– or KCl solution. When saturated KCl solution is used, its reduction potential is 0.242 V.
(4) Consider following cell :

OR Zn_(s) | ZnSO_4(aq) || Calomel electrode
Reduction reaction for calomel electrode :

2. Answer the following in one or two sentences.

Question i.
Comment on the statement: No work is involved in an expansion of a gas in vacuum.
Answer:
(1) When a gas expands against an external pressure Pex, changing the volume from V₁ to V₂, the work obtained is given by
W = -P_ex (V₂ – V₁).
(2) Hence the work is performed by the system when it experiences the opposing force or pressure.
(3) Greater the opposing force, more is the work.
(4) In free expansion, the gas expands in vaccum where it does not experience opposing force, (P = 0). Since external pressure is zero, no work is obtained.
∴ W = -P_ex (V₂ – V₁)
= -0 × (V₂ – V₁)
= 0
(5) Since during expansion in vacuum no energy is expended, it is called free expansion.

Question ii.
State the first law of thermodynamics.
Answer:
The first law of thermodynamics is based on the principle of conservation of energy and can be stated in different ways as follows :

1. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, however, it may be converted from one form into another.
2. Whenever, a quantity of one kind of energy is consumed or disappears, an equivalent amount of another kind of energy appears.
3. The total mass and energy of an isolated system remain constant, although there may be interconservation of energy from one form to another.
4. The total energy of the universe remains constant.

Question iii.
What is enthalpy of fusion?
Answer:
Enthalpy of fusion (Δ_fusH) : The enthalpy change that accompanies the fusion of one mole of a solid into a liquid at constant temperature and pressure is called enthalpy of fusion.
For example,

This equation describes that when one mole of ice melts (fuses) at 0 °C (273 K) and 1 atmosphere, 6.1 kJ of heat will be absorbed.

Question iv.
What is standard state of a substance?
Answer:
The thermodynamic standard state of a substance (compound) is the most stable physical state of it at 298 K and 1 atmosphere (or 1 bar). The enthalpy of the substance in the standard state is represented as Δ_fH⁰.

Question v.
State whether ∆S is positive, negative or zero for the reaction 2H_(g) → H_2(g). Explain.
Answer:
(i) The given reaction, 2H_(g) → H_2(g) is the formation of H_2(g) from free atoms.
(ii) Since two H atoms form one H₂ molecule, ∆n = 1 – 2= -1 and disorder is decreased. Hence entropy change ∆S < 0 (or negative).

Question vi.
State second law of thermodynamics in terms of entropy.
Answer:
The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of the system and its surroundings (universe) increases in a spontaneous process.
OR
Since all the natural processes are spontaneous, the entropy of the universe increases.
It is expressed mathematically as
∆ S_Total = ∆ S_system + ∆S_surr > 0
∆ S_Universe = ∆ S_system + ∆ S_surr > 0

Question vii.
If the enthalpy change of a reaction is ∆H how will you calculate entropy of surroundings?
Answer:
(i) For endothermic reaction, ∆H > 0. This shows the system absorbs heat from surroundings.
∴ ∆_surr H < 0.
∵ Entropy change = ∆_surr S = \(\frac{-\Delta_{\text {surr }} H}{T}\)
There is decrease in entropy of surroundings.
(ii) For exothermic reaction, ∆H < 0, hence for surroundings, ∆_surr H > 0

∴ ∆_surr > 0.

Question viii.
Comment on spontaneity of reactions for which ∆H is positive and ∆S is negative.
Answer:
Since ∆H is +ve and ∆S is -ve, ∆G will be +ve at all temperatures. Hence reactions will be non-spontaneous at all temperatures.

3. Answer in brief.

Question i.
Obtain the relationship between ∆G° of a reaction and the equilibrium constant.
Answer:
Consider following reversible reaction, aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD
The reaction quotient Q is,
Q = \(\frac{[\mathrm{C}]^{c} \times[\mathrm{D}]^{d}}{[\mathrm{~A}]^{a} \times[\mathrm{B}]^{b}}\)
The free energy change ∆G for the reaction is ∆G = ∆G° + RT in Q
Where ∆G° is the standard free energy change.
At equilibrium
Q = \(\frac{[\mathrm{C}]_{e}^{c} \times[\mathrm{D}]_{e}^{d}}{[\mathrm{~A}]_{e}^{a} \times[\mathrm{B}]_{e}^{b}}=\mathrm{K}\)
∴ ∆G = ∆G° + RT In K
∵ at equilibrium ∆G = 0
∴ 0 = AG° + RT In K
∴ ∆G° = -RT In K
∴ ∆G°= -2.303 RT log₁₀K.

Question ii.
What is entropy? Give its units.
Answer:
(i) Entropy : Being a state function and thermodynamic function it is defined as entropy change (∆S) of a system in a process which is equal to the amount of heat transferred in a reversible manner (Q_rev) divided by the absolute temperature (T), at which the heat is absorbed. Thus,

(ii) Units of entropy are JK^-1 in SI unit and cal K^-1 in c.g.s. units. It is also expressed in terms of entropy unit (e.u.). Hence 1 e.u. = 1 JK^-1.
(iii) Entropy is a measure of disorder in the system. Higher the disorder, more is entropy of the system.

Question iii.
How will you calculate reaction enthalpy from data on bond enthalpies?
Answer:
(i) In chemical reactions, bonds are broken in the reactant molecules and bonds are formed in the product molecules.
(ii) Energy is always required to break a chemical bond while energy is always released in the formation of the bond.
(iii) The enthalpy change of a gaseous reactions (Δ_fH⁰) involving substances with covalent bonds can be calculated with the help of bond enthalpies of reactants and products. (In case of solids we need lattice energy or heat of sublimation while in case of liquids we need heat of evaporation.)

If the energy required to break the bonds of reacting molecules is more than the energy released in the bond formation of the products, then the reaction will be endothermic and ∆H⁰ reaction will be positive. On the other hand if the energy released in the bond formation of the products is more than the energy required to break the bonds of reacting molecules then the reaction will be exothermic and ∆H⁰ reaction will be negative.

Question iv.
What is the standard enthalpy of combustion ? Give an example.
Answer:
Standard enthalpy of combustion or standard heat of combustion : it is defined as the enthalpy change when one mole of a substance in the standard state undergoes complete combustion in a sufficient amount of oxygen at constant temperature (298 K) and pressure (1 atmosphere or 1 bar). It is denoted by ∆_cH⁰.
E.g. CH₃OH_(l) + \(\frac {3}{2}\) O_2(g) = CO_2(g) + 2H₂O
∆_cH⁰= -726 kJ mol^-1
(∆_cH⁰ is always negative.)
[Note : Calorific value : It is the enthalpy change or amount of heat liberated when one gram of a substance undergoes combustion.

Question v.
What is the enthalpy of atomization? Give an example.
Answer:
Enthalpy of atomisation (∆_atomH) : it is the enthalpy change accompanying the dissociation of one mole of gaseous substance into its atoms at constant temperature and pressure.
For example : CH_4(g) → C_(g) + 4H_(g) ∆_atomH = 1660 kJ mol^-1

Question vi.
Obtain the expression for work done in chemical reaction.
Answer:
Consider n₁ moles of gaseous reactants A of volume V₁ change to n₂ moles of gaseous products B of volume V₂ at temperature T and pressure P.

In the initial state, PV₁ = n₁RT
In the final state, PV₂ = n₂RT
PV₂ – PV₁ = n₂RT – n₁RT = (n₂ – n₁)RT = ∆nRT
where ∆n is the change in number of moles of gaseous products and gaseous reactants.
Due to net changes in gaseous moles, there arises change in volume against constant pressure resulting in mechanical work, -P∆V.
∴ W = -P∆V = -P(V₂ – V₁) = – ∆nRT
(i) If n₁ – n₂, ∆n = 0, W = 0. No work is performed.
(ii) If n₂ > n₁, ∆n > 0, there is a work of expansion by the system and W is negative.
(iii) If n₂ < n₁, ∆n < 0, there is a work of compression, hence work is done on the system and W is positive.

Question vii.
Derive the expression for PV work.
Answer:
Consider a certain amount of an ideal gas enclosed in an ideal cylinder fitted with massless, frictionless rigid movable piston at pressure P, occupying volume V₁ at temperature T.

Fig. 4.8 : Work of expansion
As the gas expands, it pushes the piston upward through a distance d against external force F, pushing the surroundings.
The work done by the gas is,
W = opposing force × distance = -F × d
-ve sign indicates the lowering of energy of the system during expansion.
If a is the cross section area of the cylinder or piston, then,
W = \(-\frac{F}{a}\) × d × a
Now the pressure is P_ex = \(\frac{F}{a}\)
while volume change is, ΔV = d × a
∴ W = -P_ex × ΔV
If during the expansion, the volume changes from V₁ and V₂ then, ΔV = V₂ – V₁
∴ W= -P_ex(V₂ – V₁)
During compression, the work W is +ve, since the energy of the system is increased,
W = +P_ex(V₂ – V₁)

Question viii.
What are intensive properties? Explain why density is intensive property.
Answer:
(A) Intensive property : It is defined as a property of a system whose magnitude is independent of the amount of matter present in the system.
Explanation :

1. Intensive property is characteristic of the system, e.g., refractive index, density, viscosity, temperature, pressure, boiling point, melting point, freezing point of a pure liquid, surface tension, etc.
2. The intensive properties are not additive.

(B) Density is a ratio of two extensive properties namely, mass and volume. Since the ratio of two extensive properties represents an intensive property, density is an intensive property. It does not depend on the amount of a substance.

Question ix.
How much heat is evolved when 12 g of CO reacts with NO₂ ? The reaction is :
4 CO_(g) + 2 NO_2(g) → 4CO_2(g) + N_2(g), ∆H⁰ = -1200 kJ

4. Answer the following questions.

Question i.
Derive the expression for the maximum work.
Answer:

Consider n moles of an ideal gas enclosed in an ideal cylinder fitted with a massless and frictionless movable rigid piston. Let V be the volume of the gas at a pressure P and a temperature T.
If in an infinitesimal change pressure changes from P to P – dP and volume increases from V to V + dV. Then the work obtained is, dW = -(P-dP) dV
= -PdV + dPdV
Since dP.dV is negligibly small relative to PdV
dW= -PdV
Let the state of the system change from A(P₁, L₁) to B (P₂, V₂) isothermally and reversibly, at temperature T involving number of infinitesimal steps.

Then the total work or maximum work in the process is obtained by integrating above equation.

At constant temperature,

where n, P, V and T represent number of moles, pressure, volume and temperature respectively. For the process,
ΔU = 0, ΔH = 0.
The heat absorbed in reversible manner
Q_rev, is completely converted into work.
Q_rev = -W_max.
Hence work obtained is maximum.

Question ii.
Obtain the relatioship between ∆H and ∆U for gas phase reactions.
Answer:
Consider a reaction in which n₁ moles of gaseous reactant in initial state change to n₂ moles of gaseous product in the final state.
Let H₁, U₁, P₁, V₁ and H₂, U₂, P₂, V₂ represent enthalpies, internal energies, pressures and volumes in the initial and final states respectively then,

The heat of reaction is given by enthalpy change ΔH as,
ΔH = H₂ – H₁
By definition, H = U + PV
∴ H₁ = U₁ + P₁V₁ and H₂ = U₂+ P₂V₂
∴ ΔH = (U2 + P₂V₂) – (U₁ + P₁V₁)
= (U2 – U₁) + (P₂V₂ – P₁V₁)
Now, ΔU = U₂ – U₁
Since PV = nRT,
For initial state, P₁V₁= n₁RT
For final state, P₂V₂ = n₂RT
∴ P₂V₂ – P₁V₁ = n₂RT – n₁RT
= (n₂ – n₁) RT
= ΔnRT
where Δn

∴ ΔH = ΔU + ΔnRT
If Q_P and Q_V are the heats involved in the reaction at constant pressure and constant volume respectively, then since Q_P = ΔH and Q_V = ΔU.
∴ Q_P = Q_V = ΔnRT

Question iii.
State Hess’s law of constant heat summation. Illustrate with an example. State its applications.
Answer:
Statement of law of constant heat summation : It states that, the heat of a reaction or the enthalpy change in a chemical reaction depends upon initial state of reactants and final state of products and independent of the path by which the reaction is brought about (i.e. in single step or in series of steps).
OR
Heat of reaction is same whether it is carried out in one step or in several steps.
Explanation :
Consider the formation of CO_2(g).

Hess’s law treats thermochemical equations mathematically i.e., they can be added, subtracted or multiplied by numerical factors like algebraic equations.

Applications : Hess’s law is used for :

1. To calculate heat of formation, combustion, neutralisation, ionization, etc.
2. To calculate the heat of reactions which may not take place normally or directly.
3. To calculate heats of extremely slow or fast reactions.
4. To calculate enthalpies of reactants and products.

Question iv.
Although ∆S for the formation of two moles of water from H₂ and O₂ is -327 JK^-1, it is spontaneous. Explain. (Given ∆H for the reaction is -572 kJ).
Answer:
Given : ΔS= -327 JK^-1; ΔH = -572 kJ
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS, and ΔH << ΔS
∴ ΔG < 0, and hence the formation of H₂O_(l) is spontaneous.

Question v.
Obtain the relation between ∆G and ∆S_Total. Comment on spontaneity of the reaction.
Answer:
(i) Gibbs free energy, G is defined as,
G = H – TS
where H is the enthalpy, S is the entropy of the system at absolute temperature T.
Since H, T and S are state functions, G is a state function and a thermodynamic function.

(ii) At constant temperature and pressure, change in free energy ΔG for the system is represented as, ∆G = ∆H – T∆S

This is called Gibbs free energy equation for ∆G. In this ∆S is total entropy change, i.e., ∆S_Total.

(iii) The SI units of ∆G are J or kJ (or Jmol^-1 or kJmol^-1).
The c.g.s. units of ∆G are cal or kcal (or cal mol^-1 or kcal mol^-1.)

Question vi.
One mole of an ideal gas is compressed from 500 cm³ against a constant external pressure of 1.2 × 10⁵ Pa. The work involved in the process is 36.0 J. Calculate the final volume.
Answer:
Given : V₁ = 500 cm³ = 0.5 dm³;
P_ex = 1.2 × 10⁵ Pa = 1.2 bar; W= 36 J;
1 dm³ bar = 100 J; V₂ = ?
W = -P_ex (V₂ – V₁)
36 J = – 1.2 (V₂ – 0.5) dm³ bar
= -1.2 × 100 (V₂ – 0.5) J
∴ V₂ – 0.5 = \(\frac{-36}{1.2 \times 100}=-0.3\)
∴ V₂ = 0.5 -0.3 = 0.2 dm³ = 200 cm³
Ans. Final volume = 200 cm³.

Question viii.
Calculate the work done in the decomposition of 132 g of NH₄NO₃ at 100 °C.
NH₄NO_3(s) → N₂O_(g) + 2 H₂O_(g)
State whether work is done on the system or by the system.
Answer:
NH4₄NO_3(s) → N₂O_(g) + 2 H₂O_(g)
m_NH4NO3 = 132 g; M_NH4NO3 = 80 g mol^-1
T = 273 + 100 = 373 K; Δn = ?
For the reaction,
Δn = Σn_{2 gaseous products} – Σn_{1 gaseous reactants}
= 3 – 0 = 3 mol
Since there is an increase in number of gaseous moles, the work is done by the system.
n_NH4NO3 = \(\frac{m_{\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{NO}_{3}}}{M_{\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{NO}_{3}}}\)
= \(\frac{132}{80}\)
= 1.65 mol
For 1 mol NH₄NO_3(s) Δn = 3 mol
∴ For 1.65 mol NH₄NO_3(s) Δn = 3 × 1.65 = 4.95 mol
W = -ΔnRT = -4.95 × 8.314 × 373
= – 15350 J
= – 15.35 kJ

Answer:
Given : ∆H⁰ = 219 kJ; ∆S⁰ = -21 J/K, ∆G⁰ = ?
For standard state, T = 298 K
∆G⁰ = ∆H⁰ – T∆S⁰
= 219 – 298 × (-21) × 10^-3
= 219 + 6.258
= 225.3 kJ
Since ∆S < 0 and ∆G⁰ > 0, the reaction is non-spontaneous.

Question xi.

∆H⁰ = +196 kJ
∆S⁰ = -126 JK-1 =0.126 kj K-1
T= 298 K
∆G⁰ = ?
Cross over temperature = T = ?
∆G⁰ = ∆H⁰ – T∆S⁰
= 196 – 298 (-0.126)
= 196 + 37.55
= + 233.55 kJ
∵ ∆G⁰ > 0, the reaction is non-spontaneous.
∆H⁰ > 0, ∆S⁰ < 0,
Since at all temperatures, ∆G⁰ > 0, there is no cross over temperature.
Ans. The reaction is non-spontaneous.
There is no cross-over temperature for the reaction.

Question xii.

For PV work :
W = -∆nRT
= – (- 1) × 8.314 × 298
= 2478 J = 2.478 kJ
∆H = ∆U + ∆nRT
∴ ∆U = ∆H – ∆nRT
= – 72.3 – (-2.478)
= – 69.82 kJ
Ans. PV work = 2.478 kJ
∆U = -69.82 kJ

∆H⁰ = -0.02 kJ mol^-1
iii. H₂B₄O_7(s) → 2B₂O_3(s) + H₂O_(l), ……….(iii)
∆H⁰ = 17.3 kJ mol^-1
Required equation :
(iv) H₂B₄O_7(s) + H₂O_(l) → 4HBO_2(aq) ……. (iv)
\(\Delta H_{4}^{0}=?\)
To obtain eq. (iv) add 4 times equation (ii) and eq.

Question xviii.
Calculate the total heat required (a) to melt 180 g of ice at 0 °C, (b) heat it to 100 °C and then (c) vapourise it at that temperature. Given ∆_fusH_(ice) = 6.01 kJ mol^-1 at 0 °C, ∆_vapH_(H2O) = 40.7 kJ mol^-1 at 100 °C specific heat of water is 4.18 J g^-1 K^-1.
Answer:
Given : Mass of ice = m = 180 g
T₁ = 273 + 0 °C = 273 K
T₂ = 273 + 100 °C = 373 K
∆_fusH_(ice) = ∆_fusH_(H2O)(s) = 6.01 kJ mol^-1
∆_vapH_H2O(l) = 40.7 kJ mol^-1
Specific heat of water = C = 4.18 J g^-1 K^-1
For converting 180 g ice into vapour, ∆ H_Total = ?
Number of moles of H₂O = \(\frac {180}{18}\) = 10 mol
The total process can be represented as,

(i) ∆H₁ = ∆_fusH = 10 mol × 6.01 kJ mol^-1
= 60.1 kJ
(ii) When the temperature of water is raised from 0 °C to 100 °C (i.e., 273 K to 373 K), then
∆ H₂ = m × C × ∆T
= m × C × (T2 – T1)
= 180 g × 4.18 Jg^-1K^-1 × (373 – 273) × 10^-3 kJ = 75.24 kJ
∆ H₃ = ∆_vapH = 10 mol × 40.7 kJ mol^-1 = 407 kJ
Hence total enthalpy change,
∆ H_Total = ∆H₁ + ∆H₂ + ∆H₃
= 60.1 + 75.24 + 407
= 542.34 kJ
Ans. Total heat required = 542.34 kJ

Given :
\(\begin{aligned}
&\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4(\mathrm{~g})}+\mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \longrightarrow \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6(\mathrm{~g})} \\
&100 \mathrm{~mL} \quad 100 \mathrm{ml} \quad 100 \mathrm{ml}
\end{aligned}\)
∆H = – 620 J; V_C2H4 = 100 mL; V_H2 = 100 mL
P_ex= 1 bar; W=?; ∆U = ?
∆V = 100 – (100 + 100) = -100 mL = -0.1 dm³
W = -P_ex(V₂ – V₁)
= -P_ex × ∆V
= -1 × (-0.1)
= 0.1 dm³ bar
= 0.1 × 100 J
= +10 J
∆H = ∆U + P∆V
∴ ∆U = ∆H – P∆V = -620 – (+10) = -610 J
Ans. W = +10 J; ∆U = -610 J

∴ For 2 mol of NH₄NO₃ ∆n_reaction = 6 mol
Due to 6 moles of gaseous products from 2 mol NH₄NO₃, there is work of expansion, hence work is done by the system.
W = -∆nRT
= – 6 × 8.314 × 373 = -18606 J
= -18.606 kJ
Ans. Work is done by the system.

कृती

1. माहितीपत्रक म्हणजे काय ते सोदाहरण सांगा.
उत्तर :
बदलत्या काळात उत्पादनांची संख्या दिवसेंदिवस वाढत आहे. संस्था/उत्पादन/सेवा यांमध्ये कमालीची स्पर्धा निर्माण झाली आहे. अशा वेळी ग्राहकांपर्यंत आपले उत्पादन पोहोचवण्यासाठी उत्पादकांकडून माहितीपत्रकाचा वापर वाढला आहे. माहितीपत्रक कुठल्याही संस्थेचा/उत्पादनाचा/सेवेचा वैशिष्ट्यपूर्णरीत्या परिचय करून देत असते. जनमत आकर्षित करण्यासाठी एकप्रकारचे लिखित स्वरूपाचे जाहीर आवाहन आहे. माहितीपत्रकामुळे उत्पादकाला नवीन बाजारपेठेत सहज प्रवेश करता येतो. कमी वेळात, कमी खर्चात विश्वासार्ह माहिती ग्राहकाकडे माहितीपत्रकाच्या माध्यमातून पोहोचवता येते. सामान्य भाजी विक्रेत्यापासून ते करोडोंची उलाढाल करणाऱ्या व्यापाऱ्यापर्यंत सर्वांना माहितीपत्रकाची आवश्यकता भासते.

पुस्तके, खेळणी, किराणामाल, दिवाळीअंक, फर्निचर, स्टेशनरी, घरगुती वापराची उपकरणे, वाहने, कारखाने, औषधे, विविध खादयपदार्थ, रेडीमेड साड्या अशा सर्वच बाजारात उपलब्ध होणाऱ्या वस्तूंची माहितीपत्रके पाहावयास मिळतात. यासोबतच सिनेमागृहे, सांस्कृतिक संस्था, शैक्षणिक संस्था, बँका, पतपेढ्या, पर्यटनसंस्था इत्यादींमध्येही समुदाय आकर्षित करण्यासाठी माहितीपत्रकाची आवश्यकता असते. तसेच, कला, संगीत, विविध अभ्यासक्रम, विविध बांधकामे, गृहसंकुल इत्यादी क्षेत्रांतही माहितीपत्रक महत्त्वाची भूमिका निभावत असते. ज्या ज्या क्षेत्रात लोकआकर्षणाची गरज असते तिथे माहितीपत्रक आवश्यक ठरते. माहितीपत्रक हे विशिष्ट संस्था/उत्पादन/सेवा यांचा चेहरा असते, असे म्हटल्यास वावगे ठरणार नाही.

2. माहितीपत्रकाची वैशिष्ट्ये खालील मुद्द्यांना धरून स्पष्ट करा.

(अ) आकर्षक मांडणी
उत्तर :
माहितीपत्रक हे उत्पादनाचे परिचयपत्रक असते. संस्था/ उत्पादन/सेवा यांची सविस्तर माहिती माहितीपत्रकातून मिळत असते. माहितीपत्रकातील छापील मजकूर जेवढा महत्त्वाचा असतो, तेवढीच त्या मजकुराची पानावरची मांडणीही महत्त्वाची असते. माहितीपत्रक दिसताच क्षणी ते ‘वाचावे’से वाटले पाहिजे. पानांवर मजकुराची ठेवण, कागदाचा आकार, रंगीत छपाई, अक्षरांचा आकार, सुलेखन, समर्पक चित्रे इत्यादी गोष्टींचा बारकाईने विचार माहितीपत्रकात करणे आवश्यक असते. माहितीपत्रकावरील शीर्षक, बोधचिन्ह, बोधवाक्य यांचे स्थान नेमके असावे. तंत्रज्ञानाच्या युगात रंगीत छपाई अधिक पसंत केली जात आहे. कागदाचा आकार मजकूर मांडणीला उठाव देण्यास साहाय्य करीत असतो. माहितीपत्रकातील अक्षरे ठळक दिसतील अशी असावीत. माहितीपत्रकाची मांडणी वेधक करण्यासाठी चित्रकार, कौशल्यपूर्ण कलाकार, संगणक तज्ज्ञ मदतीला असल्यास माहितीपत्रकाची मांडणी आकर्षक होण्यास दिशा मिळते.

(आ) भाषाशैली
उत्तर :
आपल्या उत्पादनाची सविस्तर व विश्वासार्ह माहिती ग्राहकांपर्यंत पोहोचवण्याचे माहितीपत्रक हे उत्तम साधन आहे. माहितीपत्रकाच्या दृश्यमांडणीत मजकुराला विशेष महत्त्व आहे. दर्शनी रूपासोबत माहितीपत्रकाच्या मजकुरालाही फार महत्त्व आहे. माहितीपत्रक वाचले जाण्यासाठी त्यातील भाषाशैली ग्राहकाला आकर्षित करणारी असावी. सोपी परंतु परिणामकारक असावी. माहितीपत्रकाची भाषा पाल्हाळीक नसावी. मनाची पकड घेणारी आणि आशय सहज ध्वनित करणारी असावी. माहितीपत्रकाची भाषा उत्पादनाची स्तुती करणारी असावी. परंतु ती अवास्तव असणार नाही याची काळजी घेणे आवश्यक ठरते.

उदा., ‘आमच्या घरगुती पोळीभाजी केंद्रात पोटभर जेवण मिळेल, घरच्या जेवणाचा अनुभव येईल, कमी किमतीत चवदार अन्न मिळेल.’ एवढ्या माहितीसाठी ‘पोटभर जेवण; घरच्या चवीचा स्वाद, किंमतही कमी, दयाल तुम्हीही दाद’ अशा एकाच वाक्यात सांगताना मनाला स्पर्श करणारी भाषाशैली माहितीपत्रकात असणे साहाय्यक ठरते. वाचकमनावर ठसा उमटवणारी भाषाशैली माहितीपत्रकात असणे आवश्यक असते.

3. थोडक्यात माहिती लिहा.

(अ) माहितीपत्रकाची गरज असणारी क्षेत्रे.
उत्तर :
आज स्पर्धेच्या युगात व्यापाराच्या बाबतीत उत्पादक आणि ग्राहक फार चौकस झाले आहेत. उत्पादकांना आपले उत्पादन/सेवा अधिकाधिक लोकांपर्यंत पोहोचवणे अगत्याचे असते; तर घरबसल्या सर्व उत्पादनांची सविस्तर माहिती मिळवणे हे ग्राहकांसाठी महत्त्वाचे असते. अशा वेळी ‘माहितीपत्रक’ या दोहोंत समन्वय साधत असते. आज असे कुठलेच क्षेत्र नाही जिथे माहितीपत्रकाची आवश्यकता नाही. फळे-भाजी विकणाऱ्या सर्वसाधारण विक्रेत्यापासून करोडोंचे आर्थिक व्यवहार करणाऱ्या संस्था, व्यापारी सर्वांनाच माहितीपत्रक आवश्यक असते. शैक्षणिक, सांस्कृतिक संस्था, विविध अभ्यासक्रम चालवणाऱ्या शैक्षणिक संस्था, प्रवासी कंपन्या, शेती अवजारे निर्माण करणाऱ्या कंपन्या, संगीत, कला यांसारख्या क्षेत्रांत माहितीपत्रक महत्त्वाचे ठरते.

उदा., एखादया शैक्षणिक संस्थेच्या नवीन अभ्यासक्रमाची माहिती विदयार्थी आणि पालकांपर्यंत पोहोचवण्यासाठी माहितीपत्रक गरजेचे असते. कारखाने, नाट्यगृहे, सिनेमागृहे, बँका, बचतगट, तसेच, औषधे, विद्युत उपकरणे, वाहने, वगैरेंची निर्मिती करणारे उदयोग, यांसारख्या क्षेत्रांतही माहितीपत्रक महत्त्वाचे असते. उदा., विद्युत उपकरणे खरेदी केल्यावर त्यांच्या जोडणीपासून उपयुक्ततेपर्यंत सर्व बाबी सविस्तर माहितीपत्रकात नमूद केलेल्या असतात.

(आ) माहितीपत्रक म्हणजे अप्रत्यक्षपणे जाहिरातच.
उत्तर :
माहितीपत्रक म्हणजे वैशिष्ट्यपूर्ण माहिती देणारे परिचयात्मक पत्रक होय. वेगवेगळ्या संस्था/कंपन्या आपले उत्पादन लोकांपर्यंत पोहोचवण्यासाठी माहितीपत्रके काढत असतात. माहितीपत्रकामुळे एकावेळी मोठ्या जनसमुदायापर्यंत सविस्तर माहिती पोहोचवता येते. कमी खर्चात, कमी वेळेत अधिकाधिक ग्राहकांपर्यंत पोहोचणे शक्य होते. माहितीपत्रकाचे नीटनेटके स्वरूप ग्राहकाला आकर्षित करीत असते. माहितीपत्रकात ‘माहिती’ला अधिक महत्त्व असते. त्यामुळे माहितीपत्रकाच्या हेतूशी सुसंगत माहिती ग्राहकांपर्यंत पोहोचवली जाते.

जनमत आकर्षित करण्यासाठी माहितीपत्रक म्हणजे पहिली पायरी असते. व्यापारी आणि ग्राहक यांच्यात सुसंवाद माहितीपत्रकाने साधला जातो. माहितीपत्रकामुळे उत्पादकाला नवीन बाजारपेठ उपलब्ध होण्यास मदत होते, तर ग्राहकाला उत्पादनाचा विश्वासार्ह आढावा घेता येतो. माहितीपत्रक उत्पादनाविषयी औत्सुक्य निर्माण करून ग्राहकाला आपलेसे करीत असते. त्यामुळे माहितीपत्रक म्हणजे अप्रत्यक्षपणे जाहिरात असते, असे म्हटल्यास अतिशयोक्ती वाटणार नाही.

4. माहितीपत्रकाची उपयुक्तता तुमच्या शब्दांत स्पष्ट करा.
उत्तर :
माहितीपत्रक वाचून झाल्यावरही लोकांनी ते जपून ठेवणे ही उत्तम माहितीपत्रकाची ओळख असते. माहितीपत्रक नवनवीन योजना/सेवा/उत्पादने यांची सविस्तर माहिती ग्राहकांना देत असते. फळफळावळ आणि भाजीपाला विक्रेते यांपासून करोडो रुपयांचा व्यवसाय करणाऱ्या व्यापाऱ्यांपर्यंत सर्वांना माहितीपत्रकाची आवश्यकता असते. पुस्तके, स्टेशनरी, किराणामाल, दिवाळीअंक, घरगुती वापराची उपकरणे, अलिशान गाड्या अशा सर्वच उत्पादनाची माहिती माहितीपत्रकातून मिळत असते. उत्पादनाच्या सोयी संदर्भातील शंकांचे निरसन माहितीपत्रक करीत असते. माहितीपत्रक योजना/सेवा/उत्पादन यांचा आरसा असते. माहितीपत्रकातील माहिती आकर्षक परंतु विश्वासार्ह असल्यास वाचक असे माहितीपत्रक जपून ठेवतात. त्याचा प्रचार करतात. उत्पादनाचे वैशिष्ट्य, वेगळेपण, ग्राहकाला होणारा फायदा या गोष्टी जिथे अधोरेखित करायच्या असतील, तिथे माहितीपत्रकाची भूमिका महत्त्वाची असते.

उत्तर :

माहितीपत्रक प्रस्तावना

आजचे युग हे स्पर्धेचे आहे. रोज नवनव्या संस्था, उदयोग उदयाला येत आहेत. नव्या तंत्रज्ञानाच्या सोबतीने नवनव्या योजना जागतिक बाजारात सर्रास वावरत आहेत. एखादया संस्थेची, योजनांची, उत्पादनाची तपशीलवार माहिती सर्वसामान्य लोकांपर्यंत पोहोचवण्याचे काम माहितीपत्रक करीत असते. जागतिकीकरण आणि व्यापारीकरणामुळे ग्राहकही दिवसेंदिवस जागरूक आणि चौकस होऊ लागला आहे. ग्राहकाला घरबसल्या लिखित स्वरूपात हे तपशील माहितीपत्रकाच्या माध्यमातून उत्पादक उपलब्ध करून देऊ लागले आहेत. माहितीपत्रक हे एकाअर्थी उत्पादनाचे, संस्थेचे प्रसिद्धीपत्रकच असते. माहितीपत्रकास उत्पादक आणि ग्राहक यांतील अप्रत्यक्ष दुवा म्हणता येऊ शकते.

माहितीपत्रकाचे स्वरूप :

• एखादी संस्था, उद्योग, गृहोदयोग यांत दिवसेंदिवस नवनवीन योजनांची भर पडत असते. जागतिकीकरणाच्या युगात नवनवीन संस्था, बँका, विविध सेवा पुरवणाऱ्या संस्था यांची निर्मिती व वाढ होत आहे.
• माहितीपत्रकातून विशिष्ट उत्पादन, सेवा यांची तपशीलवार माहिती मिळत असते.
• माहितीपत्रक म्हणजे वैशिष्ट्यपूर्ण माहिती देणारे लिखित स्वरूपातील परिचयात्मक पत्रक होय.

माहितीपत्रकाची आवश्यकता :

• माहितीपत्रक म्हणजे सर्वसाधारणपणे प्रसिद्धीपत्रक असते.
• निरनिराळ्या संस्था, व्यापारी कंपन्या, उत्पादक आपल्या योजनांची तसेच उत्पादनांची माहिती लोकांपर्यंत पोहोचवण्यासाठी लिखित स्वरूपाच्या माहितीपत्रकांची निर्मिती करीत असतात.
• फळे, भाजीपाला विक्रेत्यांपासून ते लक्षावधींची उलाढाल करणाऱ्या व्यापाऱ्यांपर्यंत सर्वांना माहितीपत्रकाची आवश्यकता असते. उदा., पुस्तके, खेळणी, किराणामाल, दिवाळीअंक, फर्निचर, स्टेशनरी, घरगुती वापराची उपकरणे, वाहने, कारखाने, औषधे, विविध खादयपदार्थ, रेडीमेड साड्या अशा बाजारात उपलब्ध होणाऱ्या सर्वच वस्तूंची माहितीपत्रके पाहावयास मिळतात. यासोबतच सिनेमागृहे, सांस्कृतिक संस्था, बँका, शैक्षणिक संस्था, पतपेढ्या, पर्यटनसंस्था इत्यादींमध्येही समुदायाला आकर्षित करण्यासाठी माहितीपत्रकाची आवश्यकता असते.

माहितीपत्रकाचे वर्गीकरण :

लक्षात घ्यावे असे :

बऱ्याचदा ‘माहितीपत्रक’ आणि ‘परिपत्रक’ यांतील भेद समजून घेण्यात चूक होऊ शकते. माहितीपत्रक आणि परिपत्रक यांत पुसटशी सीमारेषा आहे. माहितीपत्रक मोठ्या जनसमुदायासाठी असते, तर परिपत्रक शासकीय कर्मचाऱ्यांसाठी काढले जाते. परिपत्रकात कायदेशीर बाबींचा अवलंब केलेला असतो, माहितीपत्रकाचे स्वरूप मात्र सामान्यजनांना आकलन होण्याजोगे असते. माहितीपत्रकात विश्वासार्ह माहिती असणे अपेक्षित असते. माहितीपत्रक हे विशिष्ट संस्थेचा/ उत्पादनाचा/सेवेचा चेहरा असते.

माहितीपत्रकाची रचना :

1. ‘माहिती’ला प्राधान्य :

• माहितीपत्रकाच्या शीर्षकावरूनच त्याची प्रकृती लक्षात येते.
• माहितीपत्रकाचा ‘माहिती’ देणे हा मुख्य हेतू आहे.
• ज्या विषयाचे माहितीपत्रक आहे, त्याची सुसंगत, सविस्तर आणि अचूक माहिती त्यात असणे आवश्यक असते.
• संस्थेबद्दल विश्वासार्ह माहिती गरजेची असते. उदा., संस्थेचे कार्यालय, पत्ता, नोंदणीक्रमांक, बोधचिन्ह, संस्थेचे संचालक, अध्यक्ष यांचे संपर्क, ई-मेल, वेबसाईट इत्यादी माहिती अचूक असावी.
• माहितीपत्रकातील माहिती वस्तुनिष्ठ व सत्य असावी. अतिशयोक्ती तसेच चुकीची माहिती माहितीपत्रकात असू नये. माहितीपत्रकाची भाषा साधी, सोपी असावी. सामान्य लोकांना सहज आकलन होईल अशी भाषिकरचना असणे आवश्यक असते.
• माहितीचे स्वरूप सुटसुटीत असावे. माहितीचा अतिरेक असता कामा नये.
• परीक्षेत माहितीपत्रक तयार करताना त्यात चित्रे काढणे अपेक्षित नाही.
• फक्त भाषिक मजकूर पुरेसा असतो.

2. माहितीपत्रकाची उपयुक्तता :

• माहितीपत्रक हे उपयुक्त असावे. वाचून झाल्यावर चुरगळून फेकून न देता लोकांनी संग्रही ठेवावे अशा स्वरूपाचे असावे.
• माहितीपत्रकात ग्राहकाच्या उपयोगाची, जिव्हाळ्याची माहिती असल्यास माहितीपत्रकाची उपयुक्तता नक्कीच वाढते.
• माहितीपत्रकातील माहिती आकर्षक परंतु विश्वासार्ह असल्यास वाचक असे माहितीपत्रक जपून ठेवतात. त्याचा प्रचार करतात.
• माहितीपत्रकांची काही क्षेत्रे : ग्राहकाचे दैनंदिन प्रश्न, आरोग्य, शेती, तांत्रिक किंवा वैज्ञानिक स्वरूपाची माहिती देणारे माहितीपत्रक.
• ग्राहक अशा माहितीपत्रकांकडे लगेच वळतात. उदा., ‘कोरोनावर मात करताना अशी वाढवावी प्रतिकार शक्ती’, ‘फळांची खरी ओळख पटवताना…’, ‘कशी असते अन्नधान्यातील भेसळ?’

3. माहितीपत्रकाचे वेगळेपण :

• बाजारात रोज नवनवी उत्पादने येत असतात. या स्पर्धेत आपल्या उत्पादनाच्या माहितीपत्रकाचेही वेगळेपण टिकवणे आवश्यक असते. त्यासाठी माहितीची मांडणी वेगळेपणाने केली जाते.
• अन्य माहितीपत्रकांपेक्षा आपले माहितीपत्रक वेगळे ठरण्यासाठी मजकुराची आकर्षक मांडणी, माहितीची उपयुक्तता सांगणारा आकर्षक मजकूर, आकार, पानांची मांडणी, सुलेखन, अक्षरांची ठेवण इत्यादींद्वारे वेगळेपण आणले जाते.

4. आकर्षक मांडणी (ले-आऊट) :

• माहितीपत्रक दिसताक्षणी वाचावेसे वाटले पाहिजे. यासाठी माहितीपत्रकाची मांडणी आकर्षक असायला हवी.
• माहितीपत्रकाचा आकार योग्य असावा. खूप मोठा व लहान असता कामा नये.
• मध्यम आकारात माहितीच्या मजकुराची मांडणी नीटनेटकी करणे शक्य असते.
• माहितीपत्रकाचे पहिले पृष्ठ लक्षवेधी असावे. शीर्षक, बोधचिन्ह, बोधवाक्य ठसठशीत असावे.
• माहितीपत्रकाच्या कागदाची निवडही महत्त्वाची असते.
• कागद अगदी हलका तसेच अगदी जाड असणेही योग्य नाही.
• बदलत्या काळात रंगीत माहितीपत्रक ग्राहकाला आकर्षित करीत असतात. त्यांमुळे छपाई रंगीत असल्यास साहाय्य होते.
• माहितीपत्रकाची मांडणी दर्जेदार करण्यासाठी वेळोवेळी संगणक तज्ज्ञ, कुशल कलाकार, चित्रकार इत्यादींची मदत घेणे आवश्यक ठरते.

भाषाशैली :

• आपल्या उत्पादनाची सविस्तर व विश्वासार्ह माहिती ग्राहकांपर्यंत पोहोचवण्याचे माहितीपत्रक हे उत्तम साधन आहे. दर्शनी रूपासोबत माहितीपत्रकाच्या मजकुरालाही फार महत्त्व आहे.
• वाचकांना आकर्षित करण्यासाठी मजकुराची भाषा वेधक असणे आवश्यक आहे.
• माहितीपत्रकाची भाषा सोपी परंतु परिणामकारक असावी.
• माहितीपत्रकाची भाषा पाल्हाळीक नसावी. मनाची पकड घेणारी आणि आशय सहज ध्वनित करणारी असावी. उदा., गाण्याच्या नव्या वर्गांची माहिती देताना; ‘सूरांची बैठक पक्की केली जाईल, तज्ज्ञांचे मार्गदर्शन आणि गाण्याच्या सरावाकडे विशेष लक्ष दिले जाईल.’ एवढा आशय एका वाक्यातून सांगण्याऐवजी पुढील मुद्दयांत तो मांडता येईल :

ठळक वैशिष्ट्ये :

• सुरांची पक्की बैठक.
• तज्ज्ञांचे मार्गदर्शन.
• सरावावर खास भर.

व्यावसायिक संधी :

1. आजच्या स्पर्धेच्या काळात आकर्षक आणि नेमकी माहिती पुरवणारे माहितीपत्रक तयार करणे ही व्यावसायिकांची गरज आहे आणि ती. वेळेवर उपलब्ध होणे ही ग्राहकांसाठी आवश्यक बाब आहे.
2. आज बहुतांश माहितीपत्रके इंग्रजीतून निर्माण होत असल्याचे दिसते. अशा वेळी मराठीतून परिणामकारक माहितीपत्रके निर्माण करणाऱ्यांचे महत्त्व विशेष वाढताना दिसत आहे.
3. तंत्रज्ञान, सौंदर्यदृष्टी आणि भाषेचे प्रभुत्व असणाऱ्या युवावर्गाला हे क्षेत्र खुणावत आहे.
4. माहितीपत्रक तयार करणे या गोष्टीला व्यावसायिक मूल्य प्राप्त होत आहे.
5. माहितीपत्रक संस्थेचा/उत्पादनाचा/सेवेचा चेहरा असल्याने माहितीपत्रकावरून संबंधित विषयाच्या कामाचा दर्जा लक्षात येत असतो. त्यामुळे व्यावसायिक दृष्टीतून दर्जेदार माहितीपत्रक निर्मात्याला प्रतिष्ठा आणि पैसा मिळू लागला आहे.

12th Marathi Guide Chapter 4.1 मुलाखत Textbook Questions and Answers

कृती

1. खालील मुद्द्यांविषयी माहिती लिहा.

प्रश्न अ.
मुलाखतीची पूर्वतयारी.
उत्तर :
मुलाखत यशस्वी होण्यासाठी मुलाखतीच्या पूर्वतयारीची आवश्यकता असते. पूर्वतयारीमुळे मुलाखतकाराचा आत्मविश्वास ते रसिक-श्रोत्यांची कौतुकाची थाप इथपर्यंतचा मुलाखतीचा प्रवास सुकर होतो. मुलाखतदात्याचे संपूर्ण नाव, जन्मस्थळ, आवडीनिवडी, शिक्षण, कौटुंबिक माहिती, कार्यकर्तृत्व, पुरस्कार, लेखन, वैचारिक भूमिका इत्यादी आवश्यक ती सर्व माहिती मुलाखतकाराला आधीच तयार ठेवावी लागते. मुलाखतीचा विषय, उद्दिष्ट, मुलाखत ऐकणारा, बघणारा, वाचणारा वर्ग आणि मुलाखतीचा कालावधी यांचाही अभ्यास मुलाखत घेणाऱ्या व्यक्तीला करावा लागतो. मुलाखतीतील सर्वांत महत्त्वाची गोष्ट म्हणजे मुलाखतीतील प्रश्नावली. पूर्वतयारीत विषयाला समर्पक अशी प्रश्नावली करणे आवश्यक असते. मुलाखतीचे माध्यम कोणते आहे याचाही मुलाखतीपूर्वी विचार करणे आवश्यक असते. मुलाखतकार आणि मुलाखतदाता यांची मुलाखतीपूर्वीची भेट निश्चितच मुलाखत यशस्वी करण्यात साहाय्यभूत ठरते.

प्रश्न आ.
मुलाखतीचा समारोप.
उत्तर :
बदलत्या काळात व्याख्यानाऐवजी मुलाखतीच्या माध्यमातून व्यक्तीचे विचार ऐकण्यास रसिकांची पसंती मिळू लागली आहे. मुलाखत क्षेत्राला प्रतिष्ठा प्राप्त झाली आहे. मुलाखतकाराला मुलाखतदात्याचे संपूर्ण कार्यकर्तृत्व रसिकांसमोर प्रश्नांच्या आधारे उलगडून दाखवायचे असते. मुलाखतकारासमोर हे मोठे आव्हानच असते असे म्हणता येते. मुलाखतीच्या यशस्वितेसाठी मुलाखतकाराला तीन टप्प्यांवर मुलाखतीचे विभाजन करणे आवश्यक असते. ते असे : मुलाखतीचा आरंभ, मध्य आणि समारोप. हे टप्पे रसिकांना प्रत्यक्ष जाणवू न देणे हे मुलाखतकाराच्या संभाषण कौशल्यावर अवलंबून असते. मुलाखतीचा आरंभ जेवढा आकर्षक अपेक्षित असतो, तेवढाच समारोप परिणामकारक असणे गरजेचे असते.

मुलाखतीच्या समारोपाच्या टप्प्यावर प्रश्नांऐवजी ठळक वक्तव्य अपेक्षित असते. समारोपात मुलाखतकाराने मुलाखतीचा अर्क रसिकांसमोर मांडणे आवश्यक असते. हे करताना समारोपात मुलाखतीचा कालावधी लक्षात घेऊन मुलाखतकाराने मुलाखत सकारात्मक सूत्रावर सादर करणे योग्य ठरते. या टप्प्यावर मुलाखत रेंगाळू न देण्याची खबरदारी मुलाखतकाराला घ्यावी लागते. मुलाखतीच्या उद्दिष्टाचे साफल्य या टप्प्यावर दिसून येते. मुलाखतकाराने या समारोपादरम्यान निवेदनासाठी थोडासा वेळ घेतला तरी चालू शकते. मुलाखतकाराचे रसिकांसोबत अविस्मरणीय संवाद या टप्प्यावर होणे आवश्यक असते. ‘गोडी अपूर्णतेची’ या सूत्रावर मुलाखत संपणे हे मुलाखतीच्या यशाचे श्रेय मानले जाते. ‘या हृदयीचे त्या हृदयी’ पोहोचले ना, हे तपासण्यासाठी मुलाखतीत समारोपाचा टप्पा वैशिष्ट्यपूर्ण असतो.

2. थोडक्यात उत्तरे लिहा.

प्रश्न अ.
मुलाखतीचे प्रमुख हेतू तुमच्या शब्दांत स्पष्ट करा.
उत्तर :
आजचे युग संवादाचे आहे. संवादाची अनेक उद्दिष्टे बघायला मिळतात. मुलाखत हेदेखील असेच विचारविनिमयाचे एक संवादी रूप आहे. विविध क्षेत्रांत आपल्या कार्याचा स्वतंत्र ठसा उमटवणाऱ्या व्यक्तींचा परिचय सर्वांना व्हावा, या हेतूने मुख्यत्वे मुलाखत घेतली जाते. मुलाखतीच्या माध्यमातून अशा व्यक्तींच्या कार्यावर प्रकाश टाकणे हे प्रधान असते. सामान्यांचा असामान्य प्रवास मुलाखतीतून उलगडणे शक्य असते. कितीतरी व्यक्तींचे आयुष्य म्हणजे एक संघर्षपट असतो. हा पट जाणून घेण्याची अनेकांना इच्छा असते.

यासाठी मुलाखत महत्त्वाचा मंच असतो. विचारवंतांची विविध मते, तज्ज्ञांचे विषयज्ञान जाणून घेण्यासाठी विशेषतः मुलाखतीचे आयोजन केले जाते. मुलाखतीतून विशिष्ट व्यक्तीची जडणघडण जाणून घेता येते; यासोबतच काळ, परिसर यांवरही प्रकाश टाकणे शक्य असते. मुलाखतीच्या माध्यमातून कलास्वाद घेता येतो. समाजाचे प्रबोधन करणे, जनजागृती करणे, एखादी घटना सविस्तर समजून घेणे, विविध कलांविषयी जाणून घेणे अशा अनेक हेतुपूर्ततेसाठी मुलाखत घेतली जाऊ शकते.

प्रश्न आ.
व्यक्तीमधील ‘माणूस’ समजून घेण्यासाठी मुलाखत असते, हे स्पष्ट करा.
उत्तर :
मुलाखतीच्या माध्यमातून मुलाखतदात्याचे अंतरंग रसिकश्रोत्यांसमोर उलगडत असते. मुलाखतीत मुलाखतदाता संघर्षमय जीवनाचा कथापट उत्तरांतून मांडत असतो. विशिष्ट ध्येय गाठत असताना वाटेत आलेल्या खाचखळग्यांचा केलेला सामना, त्या त्या वेळी दाखवलेली जिद्द अशा विविध प्रसंगांचे जणू स्मरणच मुलाखतदाता सर्वांसमक्ष करीत असतो. मुलाखतीत आपले अनुभव सांगत असताना आनंद आणि वेदना यांचे मिश्रण शब्दरूपातून अवतरत असते. मुलाखतदाता आपल्या आयुष्यातील महत्त्वाच्या घटना, व्यक्ती, कार्य यांचा आढावा उत्तरांतून घेत असतो. थोडक्यात, व्यक्तीच्या आयुष्याचा काळपट जाणून घेणे म्हणजे व्यक्तीमधील माणूस समजून घेणे होय. मुलाखतीतून हे शक्य होते.

प्रश्न इ.
मुलाखत म्हणजे पूर्वनियोजित संवाद हे स्पष्ट करा.
उत्तर :
मुलाखत म्हणजे संवाद. हा संवाद पूर्वनियोजित असतो. मुलाखतीतील संवाद हेतुपूर्वक घडवून आणला जातो. मुलाखतकार, मुलाखतदाता आणि मुलाखत ऐकणारे, पाहणारे वा वाचणारे रसिकश्रोते यांच्या सहभागातून मुलाखत आकाराला येत असते. स्वतःच्या क्षेत्रात महत्त्वाचा ठसा उमटवणाऱ्या व्यक्तींचा कार्यप्रवास लोकांपर्यंत पोहोचावा हा मुलाखतीचा हेतू असतो. मुलाखतदात्याचा कार्यसंघर्ष आणि जीवनसंघर्ष उलगडून दाखवण्याचे कार्य मुलाखतीत होत असते. मुलाखतकाराला प्रश्नोत्तरांच्या माध्यमातून व्यक्तिमत्त्वाचे पैलू उलगडून दाखवण्याचे कौशल्यपूर्ण काम करायचे असते.

मुलाखतकार आणि मुलाखतदाता या दोन व्यक्तींना ठरवून नियोजनपूर्वक वैचारिक, भावनिक संवाद साधावा लागतो. मुलाखतीसाठी विषय, व्यक्ती, व्यक्तींमधील संवादासाठी प्रश्नावली याचे पूर्वनियोजन करणे आवश्यक असते. यासोबतच मुलाखतीचे औचित्य, दिवस, वेळ, स्थळ, कालावधी, उपस्थित असणारा रसिक वर्ग यांचाही विचार पूर्वनियोजनात महत्त्वाचा असतो. उत्तम पूर्वनियोजन हे मुलाखतीचे अर्धे यश असते.

प्रश्न ई.
मुलाखत घेताना घ्यावयाची काळजी लिहा.
उत्तर :
मुलाखतीच्या माध्यमातून व्यक्तीचा जीवनप्रवास जाणून घेता येतो. दोन व्यक्तींच्या संवादाने मुलाखत फुलत असते. मुलाखतकार मुलाखतीत महत्त्वाची भूमिका पार पाडत असतो. मुलाखतीत रसिकांना गुंगवून ठेवण्याचे कौशल्य मुलाखतकाराकडे असणे अपरिहार्य असते. मुलाखत घेताना काही गोष्टींचा अवलंब करणे आवश्यक असते. मुलाखतदात्याला सहज, सोपे प्रश्न विचारणे गरजेचे असते. मुलाखतदात्याला अधिकाधिक बोलते करण्याचा प्रयत्न मुलाखतकाराने करणे अपेक्षित असते. मुलाखतदात्याचा अवमान होईल, उत्तर देताना संभ्रमाची स्थिती निर्माण होईल असे प्रश्न टाळावेत.

मुलाखतीचा हेतू लक्षात घेऊन प्रश्नावली बनवणे केव्हाही उचित ठरते. अपेक्षित उत्तर सूचित होईल असेच प्रश्नांचे स्वरूप असावे. वेळेची मर्यादा लक्षात घेऊन मुलाखत घेताना प्रश्नांची निवडही तितकीच महत्त्वाची असते. प्रश्नांची पुनरावृत्ती टाळावी. प्रश्नांची निवड करताना उपस्थित श्रोतृवर्ग लक्षात घेणे गरजेचे असते. मूळ विषय सोडून असंबद्ध प्रश्न टाळावे. ज्याद्वारे तणाव, संघर्ष निर्माण होईल असे मुद्दे उपस्थित करू नये. मुलाखत प्रवाही होईल अशा पद्धतीने संवाद साधत राहावे. मुलाखतीदरम्यान मुलाखतकाराने अनावश्यक हातवारे, हालचाली टाळाव्यात. मुलाखत नियोजित वेळेत पूर्ण करणे आवश्यक असते.

प्रश्न उ.
उमेदवार ‘आतून’ जाणून घेणे अत्यंत गरजेचे असते, हे सोदाहरण स्पष्ट करा.
उत्तर :
आधुनिक काळात दिवसेंदिवस स्पर्धा वाढत आहे. स्पर्धा जशी तंत्रज्ञानाची आहे, तशीच ती दोन व्यक्तींमध्येसुद्धा आहे. आज नोकरीसाठी तसेच विशिष्ट अभ्यासक्रमाच्या प्रवेशासाठी मुलाखत हा महत्त्वाचा घटक मानला जातो. बदलत्या काळात मुलाखतीचे स्वरूप बदलू लागले आहे. उमेदवाराची पदवी, विषयज्ञान, भाषिक कौशल्ये यासोबतच उमेदवाराचे व्यक्तिमत्त्व आज केंद्रस्थानी आले आहे. उमेदवार बोलतो कसा, पोशाख कसा आहे यापेक्षा स्पर्धेच्या युगात टिकून राहण्यासाठी आवश्यक कौशल्ये उमेदवाराजवळ आहेत का याची चाचपणी केली जाते.

विविध कंपन्यांमध्ये मुलाखतीदरम्यान उमेदवाराच्या व्यक्तिमत्त्वाचे विविध पैलू जाणून घेण्याचा प्रयत्न प्रथमतः केला जातो. कंपनीचे अपेक्षित उद्दिष्ट, कामाचे तास, सहकाऱ्यांशी असणारे मैत्रीपूर्ण संबंध, गटप्रमुख वा गटकार्याची क्षमता, कामाची विभागणी, वेळेचे बंधन, नियोजित बैठका, समूह सदस्यांचे प्रश्न, प्रसंगी करावे लागणारे समुपदेशन इत्यादी अनेक बाबी नजरेसमोर ठेवून उमेदवाराची मुलाखत घेतली जाते. सहकाऱ्यांच्या भावना, विचार, सूचना, समस्या याबद्दल उमेदवाराकडे असलेली स्वीकारार्हता आणि मार्ग काढण्याची तत्परता, विवेकबुद्धी, प्रसंगावधान अशा गोष्टींना मुलाखतीत महत्त्व दिले जाते.

मुलाखतीला आलेला उमेदवार दिसतो कसा, बोलतो कसा यापेक्षा ‘विचार कसा करतो’ याकडे अधिक लक्ष दिले जाते. उमेदवार भावनिक, वैचारिक, मानसिक पातळीवर जाणून घेण्याचा प्रयत्न केला जातो. उमेदवाराच्या ‘बाह्यरंगा’पेक्षा ‘अंतरंग’ जाणून घेणे आवश्यक असते.

प्रश्न ऊ.
मुलाखत ही व्यक्तीच्या कार्यकर्तृत्वाची ओळख असते, हे स्पष्ट करा.
उत्तर :
सामान्यांत असामान्य कामगिरी करणाऱ्या व्यक्तीचे आयुष्य जाणून घेण्याची इच्छा सर्वांनाच असते. विशिष्ट क्षेत्रात उल्लेखनीय कामगिरी करणाऱ्या व्यक्तींची मुलाखत घेतली जाते. प्रश्नांच्या माध्यमातून अशा व्यक्तिमत्त्वांना बोलते करण्याची जबाबदारी मुलाखतकारावर असते. गृहिणी, विदयार्थ्यांपासून ते डॉक्टर, वकील, सामाजिक कार्यकर्ते, शिक्षक, संपादक, पत्रकार, कवी, लेखक, गिर्यारोहक, समुपदेशक, खेळाडू, तंत्रज्ञ, शेतमजूर, कामगार अशा कोणत्याही क्षेत्रातील व्यक्तीच्या कार्याचा प्रवास मुलाखतीतून जाणून घेता येतो. मुलाखतीत अशा कार्यसिद्ध व्यक्तिमत्त्वांचा जीवनप्रवास त्यांच्याच तोंडून ऐकता येतो.

यशाच्या शिखरावर जाण्यासाठी भोगाव्या लागणाऱ्या यातना, संघर्ष, जिद्द, परिस्थितीशी झुंज, सोबतीचे स्नेहीजन अशा कितीतरी गोष्टींवर मुलाखतीच्या माध्यमातून प्रकाश टाकता येतो. ‘जया अंगी मोठेपण तया यातना कठीण’ ही ओळ काही व्यक्तींच्या बाबतीत तंतोतंत लागू पडते. अशा व्यक्तींचा जीवनप्रवास संघर्षमय असतो. हे जाणून घेण्याची इच्छा जनसामान्यांच्या मनात असते. मुलाखतीतून असा खडतर जीवनप्रवास जाणून घेता येतो. जगावेगळी आव्हाने पेलून स्वतःच्या कार्याने ‘स्व’ सिद्ध केलेल्या व्यक्ती मुलाखतीतून समोर येतात.

3. मुलाखतीची पूर्वतयारी कशी करावी ते खालील मुद्द्यांच्या आधारे लिहा.

प्रश्न अ.
मुलाखतदात्याची वैयक्तिक माहिती
उत्तर :
मुलाखतीत मुलाखतकार आणि मुलाखतदाता यांच्यात संवाद होत असतो. प्रश्नांच्या साहाय्याने मुलाखतदात्याला बोलते करण्याचे कार्य मुलाखतकार करीत असतो. मुलाखतदात्याची वैयक्तिक माहिती मुलाखतकाराला मिळवावी लागते. मुलाखतदात्याचे संपूर्ण नाव, पत्ता, जन्मतारीख, शिक्षण, आवडीनिवडी, कौटुंबिक माहिती, कर्तृत्व, हुद्दा, लेखनकार्य, पुरस्कार, वैचारिक पार्श्वभूमी, वैचारिक भूमिका इत्यादींची सविस्तर माहिती मुलाखतकाराकडे असणे आवश्यक असते. या माहितीमुळे मुलाखतीतील संवाद सहज होऊ शकतो.

प्रश्न आ.
मुलाखतदात्याचे कार्य
उत्तर :
ज्या व्यक्तींनी आपल्या क्षेत्रात अमूल्य ठसा उमटवला आहे अशा व्यक्तींची मुलाखत घेतली जाते. ज्यांच्याजवळ काहीतरी ‘सांगण्यासारखे’ आहे आणि ज्यांच्याकडून ‘ऐकण्यासारखे’ काहीतरी आहे अशा व्यक्तींची मुलाखत ऐकणे लोकांनाही आवडते. मुलाखतदात्याचे कार्य हे मुलाखतीत केंद्रस्थानी असते. मुलाखतीच्या पूर्वतयारीत मुलाखतकाराला मुलाखतदात्याचे कार्यकर्तृत्व पूर्णपणे जाणून घ्यावे लागते. मुलाखतदात्याचे कार्यक्षेत्र, स्वरूप, संघर्ष, कार्यसिद्धीसाठी जिद्द अशा कितीतरी गोष्टींची सखोल माहिती मुलाखतकाराला मिळवावी लागते. संदर्भ लक्षात घेऊन, चिंतन करणे गरजेचे असते. रसिक श्रोत्यांना, प्रेक्षकांना किंवा वाचकांना मुलाखतदात्याचा कार्यप्रवास उलगडून दाखवणे हे मुलाखतीचे प्रमुख कार्य असते. मुलाखतीच्या पूर्वतयारीत ही महत्त्वाची बाब मानली जाते.

प्रश्न इ.
मुलाखतीच्या अनुषंगाने वाचन
उत्तर :
मुलाखत संवाद कौशल्य आहे. मुलाखतकाराचे संभाषण कौशल्यावर प्रभुत्व असणे आवश्यक असते. मुलाखतदात्याच्या लेखनकृती मुलाखतकाराने वाचणे गरजेचे असते. अशा वाचनातून मुलाखतदात्याची वैचारिक भूमिका स्पष्ट होते. मुलाखतकाराला या वाचनाधारे प्रश्नांची तयारी करता येणे सहज शक्य होते. केवळ मुलाखत विषयाच्या अनुषंगाने वाचन न करता मुलाखतकाराचे वाचन चौफेर असावे. साहित्यिक, सामाजिक घडामोडींचे वाचन मुलाखतकाराने सातत्याने करणे गरजेचे असते. मुलाखतीचा उद्देश लक्षात घेऊन मुलाखतकाराने वाचन करणे अपेक्षित असते. मराठी, हिंदी, इंग्रजी साहित्यातील मैलाचा दगड ठरलेल्या साहित्यकृतींचा परिचय मुलाखतकाराला असणे आवश्यक आहे. मुलाखतीच्या पूर्वतयारीत मुलाखतकारासाठी वाचन हा घटक अदृश्य परंतु महत्त्वाचा आहे.

प्रश्न ई.
प्रश्नांची निर्मिती
उत्तर :
मुलाखतीत प्रश्नांचे स्वरूप फार महत्त्वाचे असते. मुलाखतीची पूर्वतयारी हा एकप्रकारे मुलाखतीचा गृहपाठ असतो. त्यामुळे मुलाखतदात्याची सर्व आवश्यक माहिती मुलाखतकाराला मिळवावी लागते. प्रश्नांच्या साहाय्याने मुलाखतकाराकडून कार्यप्रवास अधिकाधिक जाणून घेता येईल, अशी प्रश्नांची तयारी करणे महत्त्वाचे असते. प्रश्नांची निर्मिती उपलब्ध माहितीच्या आधारे करणे गरजेचे असते. मुलाखतीत विचारायचे प्रश्न पूर्वतयारीत मुलाखतकाराला क्रमवार लिहून काढावे लागतात. प्रश्नांच्या ओघावर मुलाखतीतील संवादाचे प्रवाहीपण अवलंबून असते.

मुलाखतीचे हे प्रवाहीपण लक्षात घेऊन प्रश्नांची निर्मिती करणे आवश्यक असते. प्रश्नांचे स्वरूप सहज आकलन होईल असे असावे. चुकीचे, अप्रस्तुत, भावना दुखावणारे, तणाव निर्माण करणारे, विषयाशी असंबद्ध, प्रभावहीन प्रश्न मुलाखतीत नसतील, याची काळजी पूर्वतयारीत घेणे गरजेचे असते. मुलाखतीत प्रश्नांची संख्या लक्षात घ्यावी लागते. प्रश्नांमध्ये वैविध्य असावे. कधीकधी एका प्रश्नातून दुसऱ्या प्रश्नाचे उत्तर मुलाखतदात्याकडून येऊ शकते. अशा प्रसंगी पर्यायी प्रश्नांची तयारी पूर्वतयारीत ठेवणे महत्त्वाचे असते. पूर्वतयारीत तयार केलेल्या प्रश्नावलीतील प्रश्नांची निवड मुलाखतीत महत्त्वाची असते.

मुलाखत प्रस्तावना

माणूस हा संवादप्रिय आहे. कुठेही बाहेर असताना अथवा प्रवास करीत असताना आपण एकमेकांशी संवाद साधत असतो. विचारपूस करीतं असतो. नावापासून ते गावापर्यंत, आवडीनिवडीपासून ते व्यवसायापर्यंत कितीतरी विषयांवर आपण बोलत असतो. अशा संभाषणात कधी आपण सहप्रवाशाला प्रश्न विचारून माहिती जाणून घेत असतो, तर कधी आपण स्वतः माहिती देत असतो. म्हणजेच, दैनंदिन जीवनात नकळतपणे का होईना आपण संवादाच्या माध्यमातून मुलाखत या कौशल्याचा अवलंब करीत असतो. मुलाखत या संज्ञेचा हा पारंपरिक अर्थ असला, तरी बदलत्या काळात मुलाखत ही संज्ञा व्यापक अर्थ सांगणारी आहे.

आधुनिक काळात मानवी जीवनाची अनेक क्षेत्रे विकसित झाली आहेत. काही नव्याने निर्माण झाली आहेत. मानवी जीवन अधिक गुंतागुंतीचे बनू लागले आहे. जीवनाचे प्रत्येक क्षेत्र विशेषज्ञाचे बनून गेले आहे. प्रत्येक क्षेत्रात कर्तबगार माणसे होऊ लागली. आजच्या काळात केवळ स्वतःच्या क्षेत्रापुरते मर्यादित राहून विचार करता येत नाही. स्वतःचे क्षेत्र धुंडाळत असताना अन्य क्षेत्रांमध्ये संचार करणेही अपरिहार्य बनले आहे. त्यासाठी सर्वप्रथम त्या क्षेत्राच्या तज्ज्ञांकडून विविक्षित क्षेत्र जाणून घेणे, परिचित करून घेणे अपरिहार्य ठरते. या क्षेत्र माहितीसाठी संबंधित तज्ज्ञ व्यक्तींशी संवाद साधणे म्हणजेच मुलाखत होय.

मुलाखतीचे स्वरूप :

• मुलाखत म्हणजे संवाद. मात्र हा संवाद पूर्वनियोजित असतो. या संवादात संवाद साधणारी व्यक्ती, संवादाला उत्तर देणारी व्यक्ती आणि संवाद ऐकणारे, पाहणारे वा वाचणारे लोक अशा तीन पातळ्यांवर ‘मुलाखत’ हे भाषिक कौशल्य साकार होत असते.
• एखादी व्यक्ती, संस्था यांच्या महत्त्वपूर्ण कामाचा आढावा क्रमबद्ध प्रश्नोत्तरांच्या माध्यमातून घेतला जातो. थोडक्यात, दोन व्यक्तींमध्ये नियोजनपूर्वक, हेतुपुरस्सर केलेला भावनिक, वैचारिक संवाद म्हणजे मुलाखत होय.
• मुलाखत अनेकांगी असू शकते. एकावेळी एक व्यक्ती एका व्यक्तीची वा अनेक व्यक्तींची मुलाखत घेऊ शकते.
• मुलाखतीसाठी व्यक्ती, विषय, दिवस, वेळ, ठिकाण, कालावधी, मुलाखतीचे उद्दिष्ट, मुलाखत ऐकणारा, पाहणारा रसिक वर्ग इत्यादी गोष्टी पूर्वनियोजनात विचारात घेतल्या जातात.
• लिखित, मौखिक, ध्वनिमुद्रित, प्रकट अशा विविध स्वरूपात मुलाखत घेतली जाऊ शकते.
• सांगण्यासारखे आणि ऐकण्यासारखे ज्या व्यक्तींजवळ काहीतरी आहे, अशा व्यक्तींना बोलते करण्याचे काम मुलाखतीत असते. लोकप्रतिनिधी, लेखक, कवी, सामाजिक कार्यकर्ते, खेळाडू, शास्त्रज्ञ, गायक, वकील, उदयोजक, शिक्षक, डॉक्टर, संपादक, गिर्यारोहक, कामगार, शेतकरी, सैनिक, पुरस्कार विजेते, अगदी गृहिणी, विदयार्थी असे कोणीही आपल्या क्षेत्रात महत्त्वाची कामगिरी बजावणारे असामान्य लोक मुलाखतीच्या केंद्रभागी येऊ शकतात.

मुलाखत हा शब्द मुलाकात या अरबी शब्दावरून मराठीत आलेला शब्द आहे.

भेट, गाठ, बोलचाली, विचारपूस हे ‘मुलाखत’ या शब्दाचे अर्थ आहेत.

मुलाखतीचे तीन प्रमुख घटक पुढीलप्रमाणे :

• मुलाखतदाता (Interviewer) असामान्य कर्तृत्वाने ठसा उमटवणारी, प्रश्नांना उत्तरे देणारी म्हणजेच मुलाखत देणारी व्यक्ती
• मुलाखतकार (Interviewee) प्रश्न विचारणारी म्हणजेच मुलाखत घेणारी व्यक्ती
• मुलाखतीचे वाचक, श्रोते व प्रेक्षक (Audience)

मुलाखत प्रक्रियेत मुलाखतदाता हे शिखर वाचक, प्रेक्षक पाया तर मुलाखतकार हा या प्रक्रियेचा सुवर्णमध्य मानला जातो.

मुलाखतीचा हेतू :

• सामान्यांचा असामान्यपर्यंतचा प्रवास जाणून घेणे, हे मुलाखतीचे मुख्य कार्य असते.
• मुलाखतदात्याच्या व्यक्तिमत्त्वाचे निरनिराळे पैलू मुलाखतीच्या माध्यमातून जाणून घेता येतात.
• एखादी व्यक्ती अनेक व्यक्तींसाठी किंवा समूहासाठी आदर्श असते. अशा व्यक्तींचा कार्यप्रवास उलगडण्यासाठी मुलाखत साहाय्यभूत ठरते.
• ‘जया अंगी मोठेपण तया यातना कठीण’ ही ओळ काही व्यक्तींच्या बाबतीत तंतोतंत लागू पडते. अशा व्यक्तींचा जीवनप्रवास संघर्षमय असतो.
• तो जाणून घेण्याची इच्छा जनसामान्यांच्या मनात असते. त्यांचा असा खडतर जीवनप्रवास मुलाखतीतून जाणून घेता येतो. मुलाखतीच्या माध्यमातून जनसामान्यांची ही जिज्ञासा पूर्ण होते.
• एखादया घटनेवरील विचारवंतांची मते, अनुभव, दिशा जाणून घेण्यासाठी तज्ज्ञ व्यक्तींशी मुलाखतीच्या माध्यमातून केलेला संवाद , निश्चितच समाज प्रबोधनासाठी, जनजागृतीसाठी उपयुक्त ठरू शकतो.
• कोणताही विषय, घटना, त्याची सांगोपांग उकल करून समजून घेण्यासाठी मुलाखतीचे आयोजन केले जाते.

मुलाखतीचे प्रकार :

मुलाखतीची पूर्वतयारी :

• मुलाखत प्रभावी होण्यासाठी पूर्वतयारी आवश्यक असते. अभ्यासपूर्ण पूर्वतयारी हा यशस्वी मुलाखतीचा पाया असतो.
• ज्यांची मुलाखत घ्यायची त्यांची संपूर्ण माहिती मुलाखतकाराकडे असावी लागते.
• मुलाखतदात्याचे नाव, वय, जन्मदिनांक, जन्मस्थळ, शिक्षण, कौटुंबिक माहिती इत्यादी प्राथमिक माहिती मुलाखतकाराकडे असणे आवश्यक आहे. तसेच मुलाखतदात्याचा हुद्दा, कर्तृत्व, मानसन्मान, पुरस्कार, लेखनकार्य, वैचारिक पार्श्वभूमी इत्यादींची विस्तृत माहितीही मुलाखतकाराकडे असणे महत्त्वाचे असते.
• मुलाखतीचा विषय, उद्दिष्ट, मुलाखत ऐकणारा, बघणारा, वाचणारा वर्ग आणि मुलाखतीचा कालावधी यांचाही अभ्यास मुलाखत घेणाऱ्या व्यक्तीला करावा लागतो.
• मुलाखतीतील सर्वांत महत्त्वाची गोष्ट म्हणजे मुलाखतीच्या विषयाच्या अनुषंगाने बनवलेली प्रश्नावली. मुलाखतीचा उद्देश लक्षात घेऊन मुलाखतकाराला अपेक्षित आणि समर्पक प्रश्नावली बनवावी लागते.
• मुलाखतीचा अवधी लक्षात घेऊन प्रश्नांची निवड व क्रम यांचेही नियोजन पूर्वतयारीत गरजेचे असते.
• मुलाखतकाराचे वाचन चौफेर असावे. केवळ मुलाखतीच्या विषयानुरूप केलेले वाचन पुरेसे नसते, तर व्यापक वाचनाचा व्यासंग असला पाहिजे.
• मुलाखतीचे माध्यम कोणते आहे याचाही विचार मुलाखतकाराने करणे अगत्याचे ठरते. उदा., मुलाखत वर्तमानपत्रासाठी, नियतकालिकासाठी
• म्हणजेच लिखित स्वरूपाची आहे की आकाशवाणी, दूरदर्शनसारख्या दृक-श्राव्य माध्यमांसाठी याची माहिती घेणे आवश्यक असते.
• लिखित मुलाखतीसाठी मुलाखतकाराला लेखनकौशल्य अवगत असणे आवश्यक आहे. आकाशवाणी, दूरदर्शन आणि प्रकट मुलाखतींसाठी मुलाखतकाराला भाषण-संभाषण कौशल्याचा अभ्यास असावा लागतो.
• मुलाखतीसाठी असलेली बैठक व्यवस्था, ध्वनिक्षेपण व्यवस्था, संदर्भ ग्रंथ, चित्रे, वादये इत्यादी गोष्टीही मुलाखतीच्या पूर्वनियोजनात तपासून घेणे योग्य असते.
• मुलाखतदाता आणि मुलाखतकार यांची मुलाखतीपूर्वी भेट झाल्यास मुलाखत अतिशय मनमोकळी, सुकर व सुलभ होण्यास मदत होते.

मुलाखतीची विविध माध्यमे :

प्रत्यक्ष मुलाखत घेताना :

अलीकडच्या काळात ‘मुलाखत’ हे क्षेत्र वलयांकित क्षेत्र मानले जाते. प्रथितयश व्यक्तीचा कार्यप्रवास व्याख्यान रूपाऐवजी मुलाखतीच्या माध्यमातून संवादरूपाने ऐकायला अधिक पसंती मिळू लागली आहे. आयोजकही बऱ्याचदा अशाच प्रयत्नात असतात. मुलाखतकाराला योग्य मानधन, प्रतिष्ठा आणि प्रसिद्धी मिळते. त्यामुळे ‘मुलाखत घेणे’ या गोष्टीला मोठ्या प्रमाणात व्यावसायिक महत्त्व प्राप्त होत आहे. मुलाखतकाराला मुलाखतीदरम्यान मुलाखतदात्याच्या कर्तृत्वाचा परिचय करून देण्यासोबतच लोकांच्या मनातील प्रश्नांची, कुतूहलाची पूर्तता करणे गरजेचे असते. अशा कौशल्यपूर्ण कामाचे तीन टप्पे लक्षात घेणे आवश्यक आहे.

प्रत्यक्ष मुलाखतीतील तीन टप्पे पुढीलप्रमाणे :
प्रत्यक्ष मुलाखत

मुलाखतीसाठी महत्त्वाचे :

• मुलाखतकाराने मुलाखतीसाठी प्रश्नावली तयार करावी. प्रश्नावलीचे स्वरूप लिखित असावे.
• मुलाखतकाराने मर्यादांची जाणीव ठेवून प्रश्न विचारावेत.
• प्रश्नांबाबत मुलाखतदात्याचे स्वातंत्र्य अबाधित राहील याची काळजी मुलाखतकाराने घ्यावी.
• मुलाखतीतील प्रश्नांची पुनरावृत्ती टाळावी.
• मुलाखतीचे सादरीकरण ओघवते, श्रवणीय, उत्स्फूर्त असावे.
• मुलाखतीदरम्यान सकारात्मक वातावरण निर्माण करावे.
• ‘हो’, ‘नाही’, ‘माहीत नाही’ अशी उत्तरे येणारे प्रश्न विचारू नयेत.
• प्रत्येक मुलाखतदाता भरभरून बोलेलच असे नाही. अशा वेळी मुलाखतकाराला उत्स्फूर्तपणे काही किस्से, आठवणी सांगून विषय रंगवता यावा, यासाठी संधी निर्माण करणे.
• कधी कधी मुलाखतकार प्रश्नाच्या अनुषंगाने बराच वेळ अनुभवकथन करीत असतात. अशा वेळी मुलाखतदात्याला योग्य वेळी नव्या मुद्द्यावर वळवणे हे कौशल्याचे काम मुलाखतकाराने करणे अपेक्षित असते. प्रसंगावधान मुलाखतकाराकडे असावे.
• संयम, विवेक आणि नैतिकतेचे पालन यांना खुसखुशीतपणाची जोड देऊन मुलाखतीत रंग भरावेत.

मुलाखत घेताना लक्षात ठेवायच्या बाबी :

• प्रश्नावली मुलाखतीच्या विषयाला अनुसरून असावी.
• अप्रस्तुत, विषयबाह्य प्रश्न टाळावेत.
• मुलाखतदात्याचा अवमान होईल असे प्रश्न विचारू नयेत.
• ताणतणाव, संघर्ष निर्माण होईल असे प्रश्न मुलाखतीत विचारू नयेत.
• भावना दुखावतील असे प्रश्न मुलाखतीत नसावेत.
• मुलाखत घेताना पूर्वतयारी आणि पूर्वाभ्यास आवश्यक आहे.
• मुलाखतकाराचा आत्मविश्वास मुलाखतीत महत्त्वाची भूमिका बजावत असतो.
• मुलाखतीदरम्यान असणारे मुलाखतकाराचे निवेदन प्रभावी आणि प्रवाही असावे.
• मुलाखतीदरम्यान अनावश्यक हालचाल, हातवारे टाळावेत.
• मुलाखतदात्यापेक्षा मुलाखतकाराने अनावश्यक बोलणे टाळावे.
• मुलाखत नियोजित वेळेत पूर्ण करावी.
• मुलाखतीदरम्यान रसिकांचा प्रतिसाद लक्षात घेऊन मुलाखतीची दिशा मुलाखतकाराने ठरवणे आवश्यक असते.
• प्रश्नांतून प्रश्न निर्माण करीत जास्तीतजास्त मुद्द्यांना स्पर्श करावा.

नोकरी, प्रवेशासाठीची मुलाखत :

• आज स्पर्धेच्या युगात नोकरीसाठी तसेच अभ्यासक्रमाच्या प्रवेशासाठी मुलाखत हा घटक अनिवार्य मानला जातो.
• उमेदवाराची बुद्धिमत्ता, गुणवत्ता, ज्ञानपातळी, कौशल्ये, कल यांचे मापन या मुलाखतीत केले जाते.
• उमेदवाराच्या व्यक्तिमत्त्व मूल्यमापनावर अशा मुलाखतीत अधिक भर दिला जातो.

मुलाखत नमुना

कोरोना या भीषण आजारात रुग्णालयात काम करणाऱ्या डॉक्टरांची मुलाखत घ्या.
मुलाखतकार : नमस्कार डॉक्टर साहेब.
मुलाखतदाता : नमस्कार.

मुलाखतकार : कोरोना या जागतिक पातळीवरील भीषण आजारात तुम्ही अहोरात्र लोकांची सेवा केली, याबद्दल सर्वप्रथम सर्वांच्या वतीने, डॉक्टर, तुम्हांला खूप खूप धन्यवाद!
मुलाखतदाता : धन्यवाद.

मुलाखतकार : कोरोना हा आजार ओळखायचा कसा?
मुलाखतदाता : कोरोना या आजाराची लक्षणे साधारण सर्दी खोकल्याची असल्याने आजाराचे गांभीर्य प्रथमदर्शनी लक्षात येत नाही. परंतु दवाखान्यात चाचणी केल्यावर या आजाराचे निदान करता येते. रोगप्रतिकारकशक्ती आणि औषधे यांच्या साहाय्याने रुग्ण बरा होऊ शकतो.

मुलाखतकार : कोरोना या आजारादरम्यान लोकांनी कोणती सतर्कता बाळगली पाहिजे, असे आपणास वाटते?
मुलाखतदाता : कोरोना हा संसर्गजन्य आजार आहे. शिंकणे, खोकणे याद्वारे कोरोनाबाधित रुग्णाच्या नाकातून-तोंडातून बाहेर पडणाऱ्या शितोंड्यांमार्फत हा आजार पसरतो. त्यामुळे खोकताना, शिंकताना रुमालाचा वापर केला पाहिजे. तसेच कुठल्याही वस्तूला स्पर्श केल्यास हात स्वच्छ धुणे महत्त्वाचे आहे. बाधित रुग्णांनी लोकांशी संपर्क टाळणे हे अत्यंत गरजेचे आहे.

मुलाखतकार : कोरोना या आजारात उपचार करताना तुम्हांला ठळकपणे कोणत्या बाबी जाणवल्या?
मुलाखतदाता : या आजाराचे गांभीर्य सुरुवातीला लोकांमध्ये दिसले नाही; परंतु जसजशी बाधितांची संख्या वाढू लागली तसतसे लोक सतर्क होऊ लागले. दवाखान्यात येणारे कोरोनाबाधित रुग्ण डॉक्टरांच्या आणि नर्सच्या उपचारांना योग्य प्रतिसाद देत होते. त्यामुळे रुग्णाची प्रकृती सुधारण्यास निश्चितच मदत झाली.

मुलाखतकार : मानवी जीवनावर ओढवलेल्या या भीषण आरोग्य समस्येत दवाखान्यात येणाऱ्या रुग्णांचे मनोधैर्य वाढवण्यासाठी काय करता येऊ शकते?
मुलाखतदाता : फार चांगला प्रश्न आहे. दवाखान्यात येणाऱ्या लोकांना औषधे, योग्य आहार दिला पाहिजे. तसेच, मानसिक दृष्टीने सबळ करणे फार आवश्यक असते. आजारात रुग्ण शारीरिकदृष्ट्या खचलेला असतो. अशा वेळी मानसिक आधार देऊन रुग्णांना आजाराशी लढण्याचे बळ नक्कीच देता येते.

मुलाखतकार : दवाखान्यात दिवसरात्र मेहनत करीत असताना स्वतःच्या आरोग्याकडे दुर्लक्ष झाले का?
मुलाखतदाता : दवाखान्यात मेहनत करीत होतो; परंतु थकवा कधी जाणवला नाही. याचे कारण असे की, लोकांना आम्हां डॉक्टरांची नितांत आवश्यकता होती. रुग्ण फार आशेने डॉक्टरांकडे येत असतात. आमच्या व्यवसायात सेवावृत्ती फार महत्त्वाची आहे. स्वत:च्या आरोग्याकडे दुर्लक्ष करून चालणार नव्हते. अशा कठीण प्रसंगी जमेल तसे स्वतःची काळजी घेत होतो.

मुलाखतकार : या व्यवसायात येऊ इच्छिणाऱ्या नव्या पिढीला काय मार्गदर्शन कराल?
मुलाखतदाता : आरोग्यक्षेत्र हे फार आव्हानात्मक क्षेत्र आहे. रोज नवनवीन संकटे समोर असतात. परंतु लोक अंतिमतः विश्वास डॉक्टरांवर ठेवतात. या एका विश्वासाने संकटांना सामोरे जाण्याची ताकद मिळते. उपचार करीत असताना आम्ही प्राण वाचवत असतो, यापेक्षा मोठे मानवतेचे कार्य कुठले असेल! सेवाभावीवृत्ती आणि सकारात्मक विचार घेऊन नव्या पिढीने या क्षेत्रात पदार्पण करावे.

मुलाखतकार : मुलाखतीच्या समारोपात आपल्याप्रती कृतज्ञता व्यक्त करतो. नमस्कार.
मुलाखतदाता : नमस्कार.

उंचच उंच पण अरुंद बालपण-
उत्तर :
किनाऱ्यावरच्या टोलेजंग इमारतीच्या बत्तिसाव्या मजल्यावरील मुलाला समुद्र हताशपणे पाहतो. त्याच्या मनात विचार येतो की, शहर उंचच उंच इमारतींनी नटलेय; पण त्यांत बालकांचे बालपण मात्र खुजे झालेय. माती त्याच्यापासून दुरावलेली आहे. त्यामुळे त्याचे बालपण निमुळते, टोकदार आणि अरुंद झालेले आहे.

उत्तर :

3. खालील ओळींचा अर्थलिहा.

प्रश्न 1.
समुद्र अस्वस्थ होऊन जातो
शहराच्या आयुष्याच्या विचाराने.
तेव्हा तो मनांतल्या मनांतच मुक्त होऊन फिरूं लागतो
शहरांतल्या रस्त्यांवरून, वस्त्यांमधून.
उशिरापर्यंत रात्रीं तो बसलेला असतो
स्टेशनवरल्या बाकावर एकाकी, समोरच्या रुळांवरील रहदारी पाहत,
हातांवर डोकं ठेवून अर्धमिटल्या डोळ्यांनी.
उत्तर :
ओळींचा अर्थ : माणुसकीहीन झालेल्या शहरी जीवनाचा विचार करून समुद्र बेचैन होतो. मनातल्या मनात मुक्तपणे वावरतो. शहरातल्या रस्त्यांवरून विमनस्कपणे हिंडतो, वस्त्यांमधून पायपीट करतो आणि अखेर उशिरा रात्रीपर्यंत स्टेशनवरच्या एकाकी बाकड्यावर बसतो. समोरच्या गाड्यांची रहदारी निमूटपणे पाहत असतो. हातांवर डोके ठेवून हतबल होऊन अर्धमिटल्या डोळ्यांनी हा महानगरीय ह्रास पाहत राहतो.

4. काव्यसौंदर्य.

प्रश्न अ.
‘त्याला आठवतं त्याच्याच शेजारीं
पाय मुडपून कसंबसं झोपलेलं एखादं मूल,
ज्याचं बालपण स्टेशनवरल्या बाकाएवढं,
आणि त्याची त्याला कल्पना असावी किंवा नसावी’
या ओळींमधील विचारसौंदर्य स्पष्ट करा.
उत्तर :
‘समुद्र कोंडून पडलाय’ या कवितेमध्ये कवी वसंत आबाजी डहाके यांनी महानगरीय जीवनातील फोलपणा अधोरेखित करताना उपरोक्त ओळी लिहिलेल्या आहेत.

महानगरीय घुसमट व्यक्त करताना कवी समुद्राचे रूपक वापरतात. समुद्र म्हणजे अफाट जीवन! ते आजमितीला शहरातील उत्तुंग इमारतीच्या गजांआड कोंडून पडले आहे. या विचारांनी अस्वस्थ झालेला समुद्र रात्री थकून स्टेशनवरच्या एकाकी बाकड्यावर हताश होऊन बसतो. त्या वेळी त्याच्याच शेजारी त्याच बाकड्यावर एक मूल पाय छातीशी दुमडून झोपलेले त्याला आढळते. त्याच्या भविष्याने चिंतित झालेल्या समुद्राला त्याचे खुरटलेले बालपण त्या बाकाएवढेच संकुचित असलेले जाणवते. पण झोपी गेलेल्या मुलाला या भयानक वास्तवाची कल्पना असावी की नसावी, ही शंकाही समुद्राच्या मनात डोकावते.

भविष्यकालीन पिढीचे बालपण महानगराच्या भगभगीत संस्कृती उजाड व सिमित झाले आहे, हा विचार हृदय हेलावून टाकणाऱ्या शब्दांत कवीने सशक्तपणे मांडला आहे.

प्रश्न आ.
‘समुद्र खिन्न हसतो आणि शिणलेल्या पापण्या मिटून घेतो.
त्याला काळजी वाटते साऱ्यांच्याच बालपणाची
वयस्कांच्या शहरांतील.’ या ओळींतील भावसौंदर्य स्पष्ट करा.
उत्तर :
महानगरीय दुरवस्था नि घुसमट ‘समुद्र कोंडून पडलाय’ या कवितेत कवी वसंत आबाजी डहाके यांनी भावपूर्ण शब्दांत चित्रित केली आहे. मूल्यहीन शहरी संस्कृतीच्या विचाराने त्रस्त झालेला समुद्र अपरात्री थेकूनभागून रेल्वे-फलाटावरील एकाकी बाकड्यावर विसावतो. तेव्हा त्याच बाकड्यावर एक मूल पोटाशी पाण्याची मोटकुळी करून झोपलेले त्याला दिसते.

बालपण असे संकुचित झालेले पाहून समुद्र विषादाने उदास होऊन हसतो. जळजळणाऱ्या डोळ्यांवर दमलेल्या पापण्या मिटून घेतो. वयस्क शहरातील साऱ्या माणसाच्या बालपणाची त्याला घोर चिंता वाटू लागते. उगवत्या पिढीचे भविष्यकालीन खुरटलेले संकेत पाहून तो मनात हळहळत राहतो.

स्टेशनवरच्या या चित्रदर्शी दृश्यातून कवीने समुद्राच्या मनातील विवंचना अचूक व भावपूर्ण शब्दांत रेखाटली आहे. भविष्यकालीन निर्मळ जीवन शहरी संस्कृती मुकणार आहे, तिचा भावनिक ऱ्हास डोळ्यांदेखत पाहतानाची वेदना कवीने मूर्त केली.

5. रसग्रहण.

प्रस्तुत कवितेतील खालील पद्यपंक्तींचे रसग्रहण करा.

प्रश्न 1.
समुद्र कोंडून पडलाय गगनचुंबी इमारतींच्या गजांआड.
तो संत्रस्त वाटतो संध्याकाळीं : पिंजारलेली दाढी, झिंज्या.
हताशपणे पाहत असतो समोरच्या बत्तिसाव्या मजल्यावरील मुलाकडे,
ज्याचं बालपण उंचच उंच पण अरुंद झालंय
आणि त्याची त्याला कल्पनाच नाही.
समुद्राच्या डोळ्यांत थकव्याचं आभाळ उतरत येतं
आणि शिणून तो वळवतो डोळे.
इमारतींच्या पलीकडच्या रस्त्यावर थकलेल्या माणसांचे पाय, बसचीं चाकं.
उत्तर :
आशयसौंदर्य : ‘समुद्र कोंडून पडलाय’ या कवितेत कवी वसंत आबाजी डहाके यांनी ‘समुद्र’ हे अथांग जीवनाचे रूपक घेऊन महानगरी जीवनाची मूल्यहीनता आणि संवेदनशीलता प्रकर्षाने दाहक शब्दांत मांडली आहे. या संदर्भात उपरोक्त ओळीत समुद्राची असाहाय्य हतबलता अधोरेखित केली आहे.

काव्यसौंदर्य : किनाऱ्यावरील टोलेजंग, उत्तुंग इमारतीच्या गजांआड समुद्र म्हणजे पर्यायाने निर्मळ अथांग जीवन कैद झालेले आहे. संध्याकाळच्या वेळी अतिशय त्रासलेला समुद्र दाढी व झिंजा पिंजारून हताश झाला आहे. त्याला गगनचुंबी इमारतीच्या बत्तिसाव्या मजल्यावर एक मुलगा दिसतो. त्या मुलाचा विचार करताना समुद्राला हे जाणवते की मुलाचे बालपण निमुळते, टोकदार आणि अरुंद म्हणजे खुजे झालेले आहे, याची त्या बालकाला कल्पनाच नाही.

भौतिक प्रगतीची उंची आणि खुजी झालेली बाल्यावस्था यातील विरोधाभास समुद्राच्या लक्षात येतो. त्याच्या डोळ्यांत अफाट थकवा येतो. म्हणून तो नजर वळवून इमारतींच्या पलीकडच्या रस्त्यावरचे माणसांचे रखडत चाललेय पाय व सुसाट पळणारी बसची चाक पाहतो. तिथेही त्याला गती-अधोगतीचे विचित्र चित्र दिसते.

भाषिक वैशिष्ट्ये : या कवितेत कवीने मुक्तच्छंद योजिला आहे. कवीने मुक्तशैलीतील विधानात्मक मांडणी करून महानगरीय वैफल्यग्रस्तता शब्दांतून दर्शवली आहे. त्यामुळे गिरमिटाने ऊर्ध्वमूल पोखरण जावे, तशी शब्दकळा हृदयाला थेट भिडते व व्याकूळ अनुभवांची प्रचिती येते. समुद्र चलत व गतिमान क्रियापदांमुळे समुद्राचा मानसिक प्रवास दृग्गोचर होतो.

‘पिंजारलेले केस व दाढी’ या शब्दबंधातून समुद्राचे मानवीकरण करून भावनिक पातळीत कविता जाताना दिसते. ‘उंचच उंच व अरुंद बालपण’, ‘डोळ्यांत थकव्याचं आभाळ’ या प्रत्ययकारी प्रतिमांतून आशयाचा विस्तार अधिक गडद झाला आहे. महानगरीय संवेदनेची ही मराठी कविता शहरी संस्कृतीचे दर्शन सार्थपणे घडवते.

6. अभिव्यक्ती.

प्रश्न अ.
‘समुद्र तुमच्याशी संवाद साधत आहे’, अशी कल्पना करून ते कल्पनाचित्र शब्दबद्ध करा.
उत्तर :
मी समुद्र बोलतोय. आज न राहवून मी माझ्या मनातील वेदना व्यक्त करतोय. पूर्वी ‘समुद्र अथांग आहे, असीम आहे.’ अशी वाक्ये माझ्या कानावर पडायची, तेव्हा मला अफाट आनंद होत असे. स्वातंत्र्यवीर सावरकरांनी ‘सागरा प्राण तळमळला’ अशी जेव्हा मला साद घातली, तेव्हा माझा ऊर भरून आला; कारण भारतीय स्वातंत्र्याची आस मलाही होती.

कुसुमाग्रज यांनी तर ‘कोलंबसाचे गर्वगीत’ या कवितेत “हजार जिव्हा तुझ्या गर्जु दे डळमळू दे तारे, कथा या खुळ्या सागराला / अनंत अमुची ध्येयासक्ती अनंत अन् आशा, किनारा तुला पामराला” असे आव्हान दिले, तेव्हा माणसाच्या ध्येयासक्तीला किनारा नाही, याचा मलाही अभिमान वाटला. पण आजचे निराशाजनक चित्र पाहून मात्र जीव खचतो माझा! पूर्वी माझ्या किनाऱ्यावरून मी अफाट, मैलोनमैल पसरलेली धरती न्याहाळायचो. त्या धरणीमायची साथ मला असायची. तिच्या कुशीत जाण्यासाठी मी लाटा उसळून आतुरतेने तळमळायचो.

पण याच माझ्या किनाऱ्यावर आज मानवाने उत्तुंग, टोलेजंग, उंचच उंच इमारती उभारून धरणीमाय अदृश्य केली आहे. आजचा मानव आकाशाला गवसणी घालायला निघाला; पण जमिनीवरचे पाय विसरला. प्रचंड वेगाने भौतिक सुखे पदरात पाडून घेताना मायेचा पदर त्याला पारखा झाला. लौकिक सुखाच्या हव्यासापोटी त्याने चंगळवादी संस्कृतीला जन्म दिला. प्रगती व यश यांच्या चुकीच्या संकल्पना मनात घोळवू लागला व निसर्गाला पारखा झाला.

पंचमहाभूतांपैकी मी एक ‘भूत’ तुम्हांला सांगत आहे. तुम्ही वेळीच सावध झाला नाहीत, तर तुमच्या भविष्यातील भूत तुमच्याच मानगुटीवर बसेल नि मग प्राण दयायला माझ्याकडे याल, तेव्हा माझी माया आटलेली असेल!

प्रश्न आ.
शहरातील बाल्याची अवस्था कवितेत कशाप्रकारे प्रकट झाली आहे, ते स्पष्ट करा.
उत्तर :
‘समुद्र कोंडून पडलाय’ या कवितेमध्ये कवी वसंत आबाजी डहाके यांनी शहरातील मुलांचे भयाण वास्तव भावपूर्ण शब्दांत ग्रथित केले आहे. किनाऱ्यावरील उभारलेल्या उंचचउंच गगनभेदी इमारतीच्या गजाआड समुद्र कोंडलेला आहे. तो हतबल होऊन इमारतीच्या बत्तिसाव्या मजल्यावर अडकून पडलेल्या निरागस बालकाकडे हताश होऊन पाहत आहे. तो विचार करतो की या मुलाचे बालपण निमुळते टोकदार असले तरी ते अरुंद झाले आहे. त्याला जमिनीवरचे आनंददायी अंगण दिसत नाही, ही त्याच्या बाल्यावस्थेची शोकांतिका आहे.

दुसरीकडे एक, दुसरे निरागस बालक स्टेशनवरच्या एकाकी बाकड्यावर पोटाशी पाय दुमडून आक्रसून झोपले आहे. एक गगनचुंबी इमारतीत दुसरे अनिकेत जमिनीवर हा विरोधाभास वेदनामय आहे. दोघांचेही भविष्य अंधारात असल्याची जाणीव समुद्राला म्हणजेच पर्यायाने निकोप जीवनाला येणे, हे दुःखमय आहे. समुद्र या दोन्ही अवस्थांकडे हताशपणे पाहत बसतो. दाढी व झिंजा पिंजारून अस्वस्थपणे शहरातील वस्ती वस्तीमधून सैरभैर हिंडत राहतो. अशा प्रकारे शहरातील बाल्याची अवस्था कवितेतून कवींनी समर्थपणे चितारली आहे.

प्रश्न इ.
‘समुद्र कोंडून पडलाय’, या शीर्षकाचा अर्थ तुमच्या शब्दांत उलगडून दाखवा.
उत्तर :
समुद्र म्हणजे अमर्याद असलेले प्रवाही मानवी जीवन होय !समुद्रासारखे सर्जनशील अथांग जीवन जेव्हा महानगरांच्या मर्यादेत बंदिस्त होते, त्या वेळची बेचैन अवस्था, जीवघेणी घुसमट “समुद्र कोंडून पडलाय’ या कवितेच्या शीर्षकातून कवी वसंत आबाजी डहाके यांनी सार्थपणे प्रत्ययास आणली आहे.

शहरांमध्ये उंचचउंच टोलेजंग इमारतीचे तुरुंग उभारले गेले आहेत. त्यात बाल्यावस्था घुसमटते आहे. या उत्तुंग इमारतींच्या गजांआड समुद्र असाहाय्य होऊन अडकला आहे. समुद्राचे अस्तित्व हे विस्तीर्ण, अफाट व विशाल असते. ते सतत उचंबळलेले व जिवंत असते; परंतु भौतिक सुखाच्या हव्यासाने येणाऱ्या महानगरीय चंगळवादाने या विशाल जीवनाला कैद केले आहे. जणू संजीवन पाण्याची कबर बांधली आहे किंवा अमृताचे विषात रूपांतर झाले आहे. समुद्राची ही भावविवशता कवींनी ‘समुद्र कोंडून पडलाय’ या शीर्षकामधून प्रत्ययकारकरीत्या साकारली आहे. त्यामुळे हे शीर्षक या कवितेला अगदी सूचक व सार्थ आहे.

समुद्र कोंडून पडलाय Summary in Marathi

कवितेचा भावार्थ :

महानगरीय गदारोळात समुद्र म्हणचे जीवन कसे नगण्य व काडीमोल झाले आहे. याचे चित्रण करताना कवी म्हणतात समुद्रकिनाऱ्यावरील उंचच उंच टोलजंग इमारतीच्या गजांपलीकडे समुद्र बंदिस्त झालेला आहे. अडकलेला आहे. तो संध्याकाळी खूप त्रासलेला वाटतो. आपली पिंजारली दाढी नि विस्कटलेल्या केसांनी हतबल होऊन समोरच्या उत्तुंग इमारतीच्या बत्तिसाव्या मजल्यावरील मुलाकडे पाहत असतो, त्या मुलाचे बालपण उंचच उंच पण अरुंद नि खुजे झाले आहे. बालपण गुदमरलेले व घुसमटलेले आहे, हे त्या मुलांना कळतच नाही, कोंडलेल्या स्थितीत ते मूल बालपणाचा मोकळा आनंद घेऊ शकत नाही. शहराने त्याच्यातल्या कोवळ्या भावना खच्ची केल्या आहेत.

समुद्राच्या डोळ्यांत थकवा आभाळभर भरून येतो. शिणलेले डोळे तो वळवतो इमारतींच्या पलीकडे. तिथे पलीकडच्या रस्त्यावर त्याला थकल्याभागल्या माणसांचे रखडत चालवलेले पाय नि बसची चाके दिसतात, चाकात प्रगतीची गती आहे, पण पावलातला जोर कमकुवत। झाला आहे, हा विरोधाभास समुद्राला व्याकूळ करतो.

शहरी जीवनाचा विचार करून करून समुद्र अस्वस्थ, बेचैन होतो आणि मनातल्या मनात मुक्तपणे वावरतो. शहरातल्या रस्त्यांवरून पायपीट करतो, वस्त्यांमधून हिंडतो नि उशिरा रात्रीपर्यंत तो स्टेशनवरील एकट्या बाकावर समोरच्या रूळांवरील गाड्यांची ये-जा निमूटपणे पाहत बसतो. हताशपणे हातांवर डोके ठेवून तो अर्धमिटल्या डोळ्यांनी हा महानगरीय पसारा पाहत असतो.

त्याच बाकड्यावर त्याच्या शेजारी पाय पोटाशी दुमडून एक निरागस मूल शरीराची मोटकुळी करून झोपलेले असते. त्याचे बालपण स्टेशनवरच्या त्या बाकड्याएवढेच सिमित झालेले आहे. त्याच्या बालपणाची वाढ खुंटलेली आहे, याची त्या बालकाला कल्पना असेल किंवा नसेल, समुद्राला काहीच कळेनासे होते.

समुद्र उदासपणे हसतो. दमलेल्या पापण्या मिटून घेतो. त्याला वयस्कांच्या शहरातल्या साऱ्या माणसांची, त्याच्या बालपणाची चिंता वाटू लागते. त्याचे मन काळजीने आक्रंदते.

C. State whether the following statements are True or False with reasons.

Question 1.
The firm must be dissolved on the retirement of a partner.
Answer:
This statement is False.
On the retirement of a partner, if the partnership agreement allows, then the remaining partner can continue the business activities. It means the firm is not to dissolve.

Question 2.
On dissolution Cash/Bank Account is closed automatically.
Answer:
This statement is True.
As the firm is dissolved, there is no question of any business activities to be carried out further and so Cash/Bank Account is also not necessary. Therefore on dissolution Cash/Bank Account is closed automatically.

Question 3.
On dissolution, Bank overdraft is transferred to Realisation Account.
Answer:
This statement is True.
As a sundry liability of the business, bank overdraft is a liability of a firm and hence, it is transferred to Realisation Account at the time of dissolution and paid a third party Liability.

Question 4.
A solvent partner having a debit balance to his Capital Account does not share the deficiency of insolvent partner Capital Account.
Answer:
This statement is False.
In the partnership, the partner’s liability is unlimited so, a solvent partner having a debit balance to his Capital Account should share the deficiency of the insolvent partner capital account.

Question 5.
At the time of dissolution of the partnership, all assets should be transferred to Realisation Account.
Answer:
This statement is False.
At the time of dissolution of the partnership, the cash account and Bank A/c are not transferred to Realisation A/c. Similarly, if an asset is taken over by a partner or by any creditor then that asset is transferred to the concerned person’s account and not to the Realisation Account.

Question 6.
The debit balance of an insolvent partner’s Capital Account is known as a capital deficiency.
Answer:
This statement is True.
Debit balance of Partners’ Capital Account means the excess of drawings than the capital credit balance. In the case of an insolvent partner, the debit balance of the Capital Account means liabilities which he cannot pay. It means capital deficiency.

Question 7.
At the time of dissolution, a loan from a partner will be transferred to Realisation Account.
Answer:
This statement is False.
At the time of dissolution, a loan from a partner will be paid after the payment of liabilities of third parties to the firm. It is not transferred to Realisation Account. Partner’s Loan A/c is separately opened and paid accordingly.

Question 8.
Dissolution takes place when the relationship among the partners comes to an end.
Answer:
This statement is True.
As per definition, Dissolution means to wind up or to close down, and it is possible only when relations among the partners in a partnership firm come to an end.

Question 9.
The insolvency loss at the time of dissolution of the firm is shared by the solvent partners in their profit sharing ratio.
Answer:
This statement is True.
In the partnership, partners’ liability is unlimited and in case of insolvency loss, legally solvent partners are ultimately liable and are suppose to bear the loss of an insolvent partner in their profit sharing ratio.

Question 10.
Realization loss is not transferred to insolvent partner’s Capital Account.
Answer:
This statement is False.
All partners of the firm are responsible for Loss on realization and hence loss on realization is supposed to be transferred to all Partners’ Capital Account, without any discrimination of solvent or insolvent.

D. Calculate the following:

Question 1.
Vinod, Vijay, and Vishal are partners in a firm sharing profit and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. Vishal becomes insolvent and his capital deficiency is ₹ 6000. Distribute the capital deficiency among the solvent partner.
Answer:
Here, capital deficiency of ₹ 6000 is to be distributed among continuing partners in their profit and loss sharing ratio, i.e. 3 : 2
Share of deficiency for Vinod = 6,000 × \(\frac{3}{5}\) = ₹ 3,600
Share of deficiency for Vijay = 6,000 × \(\frac{2}{5}\) = ₹ 2,400
Vinod and Vijay will bear ₹ 3,600 and ₹ 2,400 of Vishal’s capital deficiency.

Question 2.
Creditors ₹ 30,000, Bills Payable ₹ 20,000, and Bank Loan ₹ 10,000. Available Bank balance ₹ 40,000. What will be the amount that creditors will get in case of all partner’s insolvency?
Answer:
Ratio of creditors, Bills payable and Bank Loan = 30,000 : 20,000 : 10,000 i.e., 3 : 2 : 1
Amount received by creditors = \(\frac{3}{3+2+1}\) × 40,000
= \(\frac{3}{6}\) × 40,000
= ₹ 20,000.

Question 3.
Insolvent Partner Capital A/c debit side total is ₹ 10,000 and credit side total is ₹ 6,000. Calculate deficiency.
Answer:
Deficiency of insolvent partner = Debit side total – Credit side total
= 10,000 – 6,000
= ₹ 4,000.

Question 4.
Insolvent Partners Capital A/c debit side is ₹ 15,000 and insolvent partner brought cash ₹ 6,000. Calculate the amount of insolvency loss to be distributed among the solvent partners.
Answer:
₹ 9,000 (15,000 – 6,000) is the amount of insolvency loss to be distributed among the solvent partners.

Question 5.
The realization profit of a firm is ₹ 6,000, partners share profit and loss in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. Calculate the amount of realization profit to be credited to Partners’ Capital A/c.
Answer:
Distribution of ₹ 6,000 in 3 : 2 : 1 ratio
6,000 × \(\frac{3}{6}\) = ₹ 3,000, 6,000 × \(\frac{2}{6}\) = ₹ 2,000, 6,000 × \(\frac{1}{6}\) = ₹ 1,000
Amount of realisation profit ₹ 3,000, ₹ 2,000 and ₹ 1,000 is to be credited to Partner’s Capital A/c respectively.

= ₹ 1,26,000

2. Amount received from Debtors = Debtors – Bad debts
= 1,25,000 – 10% of 1,25,000
= 1,25,000 – 12,500
= ₹ 1,12,500

3. Amount paid to Creditors = Creditor – 5% discount
= 1,20,000 – 5% on 1,20,000
= 1,20,000 – 6,000
= ₹ 1,14,000

4. Amount paid towards Bills payable = Bills payable – 5% discount

Question 1.
A deceased partner is not entitled to the Goodwill of the firm.
Answer:
This statement is False.
A deceased partner’s contribution was there in the development of business and goodwill is the value of the business in terms of money. Hence, a deceased partner is entitled to receive goodwill from the firm.

Question 2.
A deceased partner is entitled to his share of General Reserve.
Answer:
This statement is True.
General reserve is created out of past undistributed profit. Past profit is earned due to the efforts and hard work of all the partners including the partner who is now dead. Hence a deceased partner has right on it and therefore a deceased partner is entitled to receive his share of General reserve.

Question 3.
If goodwill is written off, a Deceased Partner’s Capital Account is debited.
Answer:
This statement is False.
When the benefits of goodwill are given to the deceased partner, his capital account is credited and when such goodwill is written off, capital accounts of remaining partners are debited.

= \(\frac{40,000}{80} \times 100\)
= ₹ 50,000.
∴ Increase In the value of Land & Building = Revised value – Book value
= 50,000 – 40,000
= ₹ 10,000.

4. Revised value of Machinery = \(\frac{\text { Book value }}{(100-20)} \times 100\)
= \(\frac{80,000}{80} \times 100\)
= ₹ 1 ,00,000.
∴ Increase in the value of Machinery = 1,00,000 – 80,000 = ₹ 20,000.

5. Patents were valueless means it is a loss for the business.

6. Rohan’s share In profit is ₹ 25,000 and his drawings are ₹ 25,000. Rohan is allowed to retain his drawings as his share of profit. Means write ₹ 25,000 as drawings on the debit side and write ₹ 25,000 as Profit and Loss Suspense A/c on the Credit side of Partners’ Capital A/c.

Balance Sheet as on 1st April 2019

Working Note:
Average profit = \(\frac{\text { Total Profit }}{\text { No. of Years }}\)
= \(\frac{35,000+20,000+30,000+20,000+25,000}{5}\)
= \(\frac{1,30,000}{5}\)
= ₹ 26,000
∴ Goodwill = ₹ 26,000
Goodwill should not appear in the books of accounts.
Therefore, ₹ 26,000 credited in Partners’ Capital Account in partners’ old profit and loss ratio. ₹ 26,000 will be debited in Partners’ Capital Account in partners’ new profit-loss ratio.

C. State True or False with reasons:

Question 1.
A new partner can bring capital in cash or kind.
Answer:
This statement is True.
As per the provision of partnership deed, when any person is admitted in the firm, he has to bring some amount as capital which can be in cash or in-kind of assets to get rights in the assets and definite share in the future profit of the firm.

Question 2.
When goodwill is paid privately to the partners, it is not recorded in the books.
Answer:
This statement is True.
When goodwill is paid privately to the partners, by a newly admitted person, then in such case no transaction takes place in the business, and the firm as such is not all benefited. Hence it is not recorded in the books of accounts.

Question 3.
The gain ratio is calculated at the time of admission of a partner.
Answer:
This statement is False.
At the time of admission of a person, in the business, sacrifices are made by the old partners in favour of the new partner. It means there is no question of any gain to the partners, so we can say that the Gain ratio is not calculated at the time of admission of a partner.

Question 4.
Revaluation profit is distributed among all partners including new partners.
Answer:
This statement is False.
Revaluation profit arises due to efforts and hardworking of the old partners in the past and hence profit earned on revaluation of assets and liabilities at the time of admission of a person as a partner in the business belongs to old partners. So, such profit is not distributed among all partners including the new partners. It is distributed only among old partners.

Question 5.
Change in the relationship between the partners is called as Reconstitution of Partnership.
Answer:
This statement is True.
When any person joins the business as a partner, a change in the relationship takes place. The old agreement is terminated and a new agreement is prepared. There is the change in profit or loss sharing ratio and relationship of the partners which is known as Reconstitution of Partnership.

Question 6.
New partners always bring their share of goodwill in cash.
Answer:
This statement is False.
When a new person is admitted to the partnership firm, the old partners surrender a certain share in profit and give it to a new partner. In exchange for that new partner is required to bring goodwill in cash or in kind. If he is unable to bring cash for goodwill, then Goodwill is raised and adjusted to the new partner’s capital A/c.

Question 7.
When the goodwill is written off, the goodwill account is debited.
Answer:
This statement is False.
To write off goodwill means to decrease or wipe out the value of goodwill. When goodwill as an asset of the business is raised, Goodwill A/c is debited in the books of Account. Conversely, when Goodwill is written off from the business, the Goodwill A/c is credited in the books of business.

Question 8.
The new ratio minus the old ratio is equal to the sacrifice ratio.
Answer:
This statement is False.
When a new partner is admitted, old partners have to sacrifice their profit share in favour of the new partner and their old ratio gets reduced and whatever ratio is left becomes a new ratio. Hence, as per equation:
New Ratio = Old Ratio – Sacrifice Ratio.
By interchanging the terms,
Sacrifice Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio.

Question 9.
Usually, when a new partner is admitted to the firm, there will be an increase in the capital of the firm.
Answer:
This statement is True.
When a new partner is admitted to the firm, he brings his share of capital and goodwill, in cash or in-kind, to enjoy the right of sharing the future profit, and hence there will be an increase in the capital of the firm.

Question 10.
Cash/Bank Account is credited when goodwill is withdrawn by the old partners.
Answer:
This statement is True.
When a new partner brings his share of goodwill, old partners have the right to withdraw it in cash. Therefore, when old partners withdraw the amount of goodwill, cash goes out from the firm and not goodwill. Hence Cash/Bank A/c is credited.

D. Find the odd one.

Answer:
Machinery

Question 2.
Decrease in Furniture, Patents wrote off, Increase in Bills payable, R.D.D. written off

E. Calculate the following:

Question 1.
A and B are partners in a firm sharing profit and losses in the ratio of 1 : 1. C is admitted. A surrenders 1/4th share and B surrenders 1/5th of his share in favour of C. Calculate new profit sharing ratio.
Solution:
Old ratio of A and B = 1 : 1 or \(\frac{1}{2}\) : \(\frac{1}{2}\)
A’s sacrifice = \(\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{8}\)
B’s sacrifice = \(\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{10}\)
Sacrificing ratio of A and B = \(\frac{1}{8}\) : \(\frac{1}{10}\) = 5 : 4
C’s share = A’s share + B’s share = \(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{5+4}{40}=\frac{9}{40}\)
A’s new share = Old ratio – Sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{4-1}{8}=\frac{3}{8}\)
B’s new share = Old ratio – Sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{5-1}{10}=\frac{4}{10}\)
Therefore, New ratio of A, B and C = \(\frac{3}{8}: \frac{4}{10}: \frac{9}{40}\) = 15 : 16 : 9
(Making denominator equal)

Question 2.
Anika and Radhika are partners sharing profit in the ratio of 5 : 1. They decide to admit Sanika to the firm for 1/5th share. Calculate the Sacrifice ratio of Anika and Radhika.
Solution:
Balance = 1 – share of new partner
= 1 – \(\frac{1}{5}\)
= \(\frac{4}{5}\) (Remaining share)
New ratio = Old ratio x Balance of 1
Anika’s New ratio = \(\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{4}{5}=\frac{20}{30}\)
Radhika’s New ratio = \(\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{4}{5}=\frac{4}{30}\)
Sanika’s New ratio = \(\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{6}{6}=\frac{6}{30}\) (Making denominator equal)
∴ New Profit and Loss ratio = \(\frac{20}{30}: \frac{4}{30}: \frac{6}{30}\) = 20 : 4 : 6 i.e. 10 : 2 : 3
Sacrifice ratio = old ratio – New ratio
Anika’s Sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{5}{6}-\frac{20}{30}=\frac{25-20}{30}=\frac{5}{30}\)
Radhika’s Sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{1}{6}-\frac{4}{30}=\frac{5-4}{30}=\frac{1}{30}\)
∴ Sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{5}{30}: \frac{1}{30}\) = 5 : 1

Question 3.
Pramod and Vinod are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. After the admission of Ramesh the New ratio of Pramod, Vinod and Ramesh are 4 : 3 : 2. Find out the Sacrifice ratio.
Solution:
Sacrifice Ratio = Old ratio – New ratio
Pramod’s Sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{3}{5}-\frac{4}{9}=\frac{27-20}{45}=\frac{7}{45}\)
Vinod’s Sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{2}{5}-\frac{3}{9}=\frac{18-15}{45}=\frac{3}{45}\)
∴ Sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{7}{45}: \frac{3}{45}\) = 7 : 3.

Balance Sheet as of 1st April 2018

Working Notes:
1. Calculation of new profit ratio = 1 – share of new partner
= 1 – \(\frac{1}{4}\)
= \(\frac{3}{4}\) (Remaining share)
New ratio = old ratio × balance 1 (Remaining share)
Vikram’s new ratio = \(\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{6}{20}\)
Pradnya’s new ratio = \(\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{20}\)
Avani’s ratio = \(\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{5}{5}=\frac{5}{20}\)
∴ New profit sharing ratio = 6 : 9 : 5.
Capital amount adjusted in their new profit and loss ratio:
Total Capital of the Partnership Firm = (Reciprocal of New Partner’s Share) × (Capital of New Partner)
= (Reciprocal of \(\frac{1}{4}\)) × 37,500
= 4 × 37,500
= ₹ 1,50,000
Vikram’s Capital balance = (Vikram’s New Ratio) × (Total Capital of the firm)
= \(\frac{6}{20}\) × 1,50,000 = ₹ 45,000
Pradnya’s Capital balance = \(\frac{9}{20}\) × 1,50,000 = ₹ 67,500

= \(\frac{48,000+81,000+73,500}{3}\)
= ₹ 67,500
∴ Goodwill value = ₹ 67,500
Vasu’s share in Goodwill = ₹ 40,500 (67,500 × \(\frac{3}{5}\))
Viraj’s share in Goodwill = ₹ 27,000 (67,500 × \(\frac{2}{5}\))

Solution:
In the books of the firm __________


Balance Sheet as of 1st April 2018

Working Note:
Calculation of new ratio : Balance of 1 = 1 – share of new partner
= 1 – \(\frac{1}{5}\)
= \(\frac{4}{5}\) (Remaining share)
New ratio = Old ratio × balance 1 (Remaining share)
Deep’s new ratio = \(\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{4}{5}=\frac{3}{5}\)
Karan’s new ratio = \(\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{4}{5}=\frac{1}{5}\)
Shubham’s new ratio = \(\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{5}\)
∴ New profit and loss sharing ratio = 3 : 1 : 1
Capital amount to be adjusted in Partner’s new profit and loss ratio:
Total Capital of the firm = (Reciprocal of New partner’s share) × (New partner’s capital)
= 5 × 20,000
= ₹ 1,00,000
Deep’s capital balance = \(\frac {3}{5}\) × 1,00,000 = ₹ 60,000

Balance Sheet as of 1st April 2018

Working Notes:
1.

2. Calculation of new profit sharing ratio:
New Ratio = (Balance of 1) × (old ratio)
Kishor’s New ratio = \(\left(1-\frac{1}{5}\right) \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{5}\)
Lal’s New ratio = \(\left(1-\frac{1}{5}\right) \times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{5}\)
Ram’s ratio = \(\frac{1}{5}\)

3. Total capital of the firm = (Reciprocal of Ram’s ratio) × (His capital contribution)
= \(\frac{5}{1}\) × 60,000 = ₹ 3,00,000
Kishor’s new closing capital balance = 3,00,000 × \(\frac{3}{5}\) = ₹ 1,80,000

3. Aparna should bring ₹ 60,000 as capital for her 1/4th share in future profits.
4. The Capital accounts of all the partners be adjusted in proportion to the new profit sharing ratio by opening the Current accounts of the partners.
Prepare Profit and Loss-Adjustment A/c, Partners’ Capital A/c, Balance Sheet of the new firm.
Solution:

Balance Sheet as on 1st April 2018

Working Notes:
1. R.D.D. to be increased by ₹ 5,000 means subtract ₹ 5,000 from Debtors.

2. Bills receivable taken by Vrushali at 10 % discount i.e. 12,000 – 1,200 = ₹ 10,800.
Write this amount on the debit side of the partners’ Capital Account in Vrushali’s column.

3. Calculation of new ratio = 1 – share of new partner
= 1 – \(\frac{1}{4}\)
= \(\frac{3}{4}\) (Remaining share)
New ratio = Old ratio × Balance 1 (Remaining Share)
Vrushali’s new ratio = \(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{8}\)
Leena’s new ratio = \(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{8}\)
Aparna’s ratio = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
∴ Partner’s new profit and loss ratio = \(\frac{3}{8}: \frac{3}{8}: \frac{1}{4}\) = 3 : 3 : 2
Now, capital amount to be adjusted in partners new profit and loss ratio.
Total capital of the firm = (Reciprocal of New Partner’s Share) × (New Partner’s Capital)
= (Reciprocal of \(\frac{1}{4}\)) × 60,000
= 4 × 60,000
= ₹ 2,40,000
Vrushali’s capital balance = \(\frac {3}{8}\) × 2,40,000 = ₹ 90,000
Leela’s capital balance = \(\frac {3}{8}\) × 2,40,000 = ₹ 90,000
The deficit of these capital balances is to be adjusted through the Current account.
To keep the balance of Vrushali’s and Leena’s capital ₹ 90,000 each, deficit of ₹ 53,850 and ₹ 58,050 are incurred which is transferred to the respective Partner’s Current A/cs and recorded on the Asset side of Balance Sheet [As it is to be recovered from Partners].

You are required to prepare Profit and Loss-Adjustment A/c, Partners’ Capital A/c, Balance Sheet of the new firm.
Solution:


Balance Sheet as of 1st April 2018

Working Notes:
1. Total capital of the firm = (Reciprocal of New Partner’s Profit Sharing ratio) × (Capital contributed by new partner)
= (Reciprocal of \(\frac{1}{5}\)) × 40,000
= 5 × 40,000
= ₹ 2,00,000
Medha’s closing capital, balance = \(\frac{3}{5}\) × 2,00,000 = ₹ 1,20,000
Radha’s closing capital balance = \(\frac{1}{5}\) × 2,00,000 = ₹ 40,000

2. General reserve is distributed among old partners in their old profit and loss ratio.

5. It was found that there was a liability for ₹ 3,000 for goods in March 2017 but recorded on 2nd April 2017.
You are required to prepare:
(a) Profit and Loss-Adjustment account
(b) Capital accounts of the partners
(c) Balance Sheet after the admission of Varad.
Solution:


Balance Sheet as of 1st April 2017

Working Notes:
1. Cash in hand = Opening balance + Varad’s capital + Varad’s goodwill (amount brought in)
= 20,000 + 1,00,000 + 40,000
= ₹ 1,60,000

2. Sacrifice ratio = Old ratio – New ratio
Sahil’s sacrifice = \(\frac{3}{5}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{24-15}{40}=\frac{9}{40}\)
Nikhil’s sacrifice = \(\frac{2}{5}-\frac{2}{8}=\frac{16-10}{40}=\frac{6}{40}\)
i.e. sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{9}{40}: \frac{6}{40}\) = 9 : 6 = 3 : 2.
Goodwill is distributed among old partners in the sacrifice ratio.

1. Cash balance = Opening balance + Amount brought in by Kamal
= 1,10,000 + 50,000 + 40,000
= ₹ 2,00,000

2. For calculation of new profit and loss ratio:
Calculation of new profit ratio = 1 – share of new partner
= 1 – \(\frac{1}{4}\)
= \(\frac{3}{4}\) (Remaining share)
New ratio = old ratio × balance 1 (Remaining share)
Amit’s new ratio = \(\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{6}{20}\)
Baban’s new ratio = \(\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{20}\)
Kamal’s ratio = \(\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{5}{5}=\frac{5}{20}\)

3. New profit and loss ratio = 6 : 9 : 5
Capital amount adjusted in their new profit and loss ratio by taking new partner Kamal’s capital (₹ 50,000) as a base.
