    Read following Passage and answer the questions:   Cyrus Jhabvala had to spend his life - he's 90 now - in the shadow of his wife of 57 years, Ruth Prawar Jhabvala, booker prize recipient (Heat and Dust) and two-time Academy Award winner (A room with a view and Towards End), has been the third head of what people in showbiz called the "three headed god"-the other two being James Ivory and the late Ismail Merchant. Cyrus was one of Delhi's leading architects in his time and dean of the school of planning and architecture - and he's a talented artist, a visual chronicler of the two cities he knows best. When Jhabvala's water colours and pencil drawing of Delhi's rambling lanes and tumbling ruins first appeared in Delhi - stone and streets (1990), they were well received for their attention to detail. Even as the architect in Jhabvala was busy altering Delhi's landscape to cope with the demands of its growth, the citizen in him was moved by the prospect of historic Delhi being swallowed up in one gargantuan chomp by the beast called metropolitan Delhi. In the1970s, Jhabvala did not have a handy-cam to record what he saw, so he employed lines and colours to preserve the last remnants ofa disappearing past.
