Question
CBSEENSC8005728

Your parents are going to buy a house. They have been offered one on the roadside and another three lanes away from the roadside. Which house would you suggest your parents to buy? Explain your answer.

Solution

I would suggest my parents to buy a house which is three lanes away from the roadside. It is because the house situated on the roadside will have the following disadvantages in comparison to the house three lanes away from roadside: 

(i) Lot of noise due to passing of vehicles. 

(ii) Smoke and dust produced due to traffic on road.

(iii) Sound of pressure horns at the time of traffic jams or during peak hours of the traffic. iving in a house nearby roadside would cause noise pollution.
