Q1. [2]
Ravi and his best friend, Shiv have been practicing for annual school dance competition. They both are performing solo. On the day of the competition, Shiv won. Ravi felt extremely sad and dejected. He shouted at Shiv unnecessarily, cried and also did not talk to his parents for 3-4 hours. On the contrary, if Ravi would have been emotionally intelligent, he would have accepted defeat gracefully and done better in the next competition. Being emotionally intelligent enhances your chances of success and a balanced life. Suggest some points to manage emotional intelligence.

Model Answer
To manage emotional intelligence, one should:
- Be self-aware — recognise and understand your own emotions.
- Self-regulate — control impulsive reactions; think before acting.
- Stay motivated — focus on improvement rather than defeat.
- Show empathy — understand others' feelings and appreciate their success.
- Develop social skills — maintain healthy relationships even in difficult situations.
Explanation
The source passages provided are unrelated to this question (they cover financial topics). This answer is based on the standard CBSE Class 10 curriculum on Emotional Intelligence (typically covered in Health & Physical Education or Life Skills). Examiners expect 4–5 practical points. Ravi's behaviour (shouting, crying, ignoring parents) contrasts with emotionally intelligent responses — use that contrast to frame your points. Avoid writing in essay form; bullet points are preferred for this type of question.
