Solved Paper of JAC Annual Examination - 2023
Read
the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
The
Mohua' tree is one of the most important of Indian forest trees, not for its
timber but for its delicious flowers. To the people of Central India it
provides the most important article of food as the flowers can be stored almost
indefinitely
The
Mohua tree has a large thick grey bark. Most of the leaves fall from February
to April and during that time the scented flowers appear in close bunches of a
dozen or so. It is at night that the tree blooms and at dawn each short lived
flower falls to the ground. A couple of months after the flowering period, the
fruit opens. They are fleshy green berries. They are quite large and contain
from one to four shiny berries. They are quite large and contain from one to
four shiny brown seeds.
The
gathering of the edible Mohua flower is an important business to the country
people. Below the tree the ground is cleared and swept and at dawn blooms are
collected and allowed to dry out on the earth. The flowers taste something like
pressed figs. Sugar puddings and other sweetmeats are made from them. All parts
of the fruit, both ripe and unripe are used. A thick oil is extracted from the
kernels, which being yellowish gives it the name of 'Butter Tree'. The oil is
used for cooking, making soap and candles.
