Option 1 : Physical environment

Right from conception, the beginning of life in a mother’s womb, the growth and development of human beings are influenced by a variety of factors categorized broadly as internal and external.

These factors are as follows :

External factors: The factors lying outside the individual in his/her environment are said to be the external factors influencing his/her growth and development. These factors begin their role of influencing the growth and development just immediately after a baby is conceived. These may include the following

The environment in the womb of the mother:

  • The physical and mental health of the mother during preg
  • Single child or multiple children getting nourished in the womb.
  • The quality and quantity of nutrition received by the embryo within the womb of the mother.
  • Whether or not the embryo has been subjected to harmful radiation or rays, etc.
  • Normal or abnormal delivery.
  • Any damage or accident to the baby in the womb

The environment available after birth (Physical environment):

  • Accidents and incidents in the life
  • The quality of the physical environment, medical care, and nourishment.
  • Parental and family care received by a child.
  • The economic and social status of the parents and the family.
  • The quality of the neighborhood and surrounding environment.
  • The quality of schooling received by a child

Hence, we conclude that Physical environment is an external factor influencing the growth and development of a child.

Internal Factors: All those factors which lie within the individual are called internal factors. These factors include:

  • Heredity factors: The height, weight, color of the eyes and the skin, the characteristics of the hair, are all decided by these hereditary influences. 
  • Biological or constitutional factors: A child’s constitutional make-up somatic structure, physique, and body chemistry influence his/her growth and development throughout his/her life. 
  • Intelligence: Intelligence is the ability to learn, adjust and make the right decision at right time- has a significant role in the overall growth and development of a child.
  • Emotional factors:: Emotional factors, e.g. emotional adjustability and maturity, play a big role in influencing a person’s overall growth and development.
  • Social nature: A person’s socialization helps him/her in achieving adjustment and advancement in other aspects of his growth and development.

In each question below is given a statement numbered I, II and III. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the following assumption and decide which of the assumption is implicit in the statement. Statement: The June 2018 quarter results of Infosys reflect that the investors waiting for the company to perform as good, if not better, than its largest peer Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) may have to wait a little longer. Infosys, the country’s second-largest software exporter reported slower sequential growth in revenue and profit than TCS for the June quarter (Q1). It also lagged on the fronts of employee attrition and growth in the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) vertical.  Assumptions: I. On the positive side, Infosys continued to add large clients – four in the above $100-million billing category compared with the previous quarter. It continued to retain guidance of 6-8% revenue growth for FY19 while retaining the operating margin band of 22-24%. II. In the near term, the stock performance of TCS is likely to overshadow Infosys given the difference in their growth trajectories. III. The growth momentum of Infosys has slowed relative to TCS. The year-on-year growth in trailing 12-month (TTM) revenue of Infosys in each of the four quarters up to the June 2018 quarter has lagged TCS after leading in the previous five quarters.?
