Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow :

My grandfather had served many years in the Indian Forest Service, and it was

natural that he should know and like trees. On his retirement he built a bunglow on

the outskirts of the town of Dehra Dun planting trees all round. In the fertile Doon

valley, the plants grew tall and strong.

My grandmother did not mind trees, but preferred growing flowers and was

constantly ordering seeds. Grandfather helped her with gardening, not because he

really liked flower gardens, but he liked watching butterflies and there was only one

way to attract butterflies and that was to grow flowers for them.

My grandfather was not content with growing trees in our compound. During

rains he would walk into the jungle armed with cuttings and saplings, which he would

plant in the forest.

51. Where did the author’s grandfather build his bunglow on his retirement ? 1
