18. Gurupreet Kaur was born and brought up in Mumbai. She got married in last week of
November 2012 and shifted over to Amritsar. She was an expert curd maker. However she
find that setting of curd in Amrisar is not as good as it was in Mumbai. Ramandeep Kaur ,
her sister-in-law , is a student of science. One day , while observing Gurpreet Kaur in the
kitchen she advised a slightly modified procedure to prepare curd. She advised Gurupreet
Kaur to add some curd to warm milk and keep the same in well insulated container for
overnight for the curd to set.
Read the above passage and answer the following questions.
(a) Do you think Ramandeep Kaur advise will help Gupreet Kaur.
(b) What is the main cause of curd setting late ?
(c) What is the scientific reason behind Ramandeep Kaur’s advise ?
(d) What values are associated with Ramandeep Kaur advise.
