Model Answer

Two problems affecting the efficient functioning of Indian Railways are:

  1. Ticketless travel — Many passengers travel without tickets, causing revenue loss to the railways.
  2. Damage to railway property — Thefts, damage to property, and unnecessary chain-pulling by people cause delays and heavy losses to the railways.

Explanation

The textbook explicitly lists these problems in the Railways section. Examiners expect you to state two distinct problems clearly. Avoid vague answers — use the exact problems mentioned in the passage (ticketless travel and damage/chain-pulling). One mark per valid point.
