Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage from questions 71 to 75.

One of the little known facts about former President APJ Abdul Kalam is that he has a medical invention to his name a coronary stent built with missile composites that dramatically brought down the cost of heart stents from . 55,000 to . 10,000 in the mid -1990s. The Kalam-Raju stent to treat coronary artery disease was the result of one of Kalam's distinguishing features his constant ability to push people to think about innovations for a country strapped for resources and technical know-how.

While he was known as the "Missile Man" for his work on missile technologies during his tenures in defence research labs like the Defence Research and Development Laboratory, Hyderabad, in the 1980s and 1990s, Kalam was also instrumental in laying the foundation of the rocket launch systems at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) during a nearly two decade stint at ISRO from the late 1960s to 1982.

Kalam's leadership was recognised and fostered by ISRO's second Chairman, Prof Satish Dhawan -the man that Kalam considered his guru.

"We were all young scientists at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre in Thiruvananthapuram in the '60s. Dr. Kalam was the head of rocket engineering at ISRO and was involved in the development of early sounding rockets like Menaka," said former ISRO chairman K. Radhakrishnan, part of a crop of engineers from the 1960s who rose to the top at ISRO.

The SLV the rocket system that has gone on to become the bedrock of the Indian space programme, has been Kalam's biggest contribution to the Indian space mission, spawning new generation launchers like the Augmented SLV, the Polar SLV and most recently the Geo synchronous SLV.

"The scientists who went on to build India's second and third line of rockets had worked with Dr. Kalam when he was head of rocket engineering at ISRO. His greatness was that he knew everyone His connect with people was always great," said Radhakrishnan.

71. What is the invention at low cost for which Ex-President Kalam is known all over the world

Insulin for diabetics

A device for heart patients

Medicine for kidney patients

Process to remove ulcers

72. What other scientific weapon did Kalam develop apart from developing missiles

Astronaut journey to moon

Putting satellite into the orbit

A vehicle for sending Rocket in the outer space

Creating unidentified flying objects

73. Who among the Indian scientists was considered as Ex President Kalam's Guru

Vikram Sarabhai

Prof. Satish Dhavan

Aryabhatt

Tipu Sultan

74. Which rocket system saw the light of the day due to the work of Ex President Kalam and his team

Arianne

Soyuz

The SLV 3

Toy Rocket for children

75. What was Ex President Kalam's endearing social quality

He loved natural beauty

He appreciated ancient architecture

He was very polite to everyone

He knew all his co-workers
