उत्तर
A model answer has been provided for students' reference. However, any other point of view supported by an argument or an explanation would also solve the purpose.
It is strongly recommended that students prepare the answer on their own.
The opposition and combination of the universe’s two basic principles of Yin and Yang is a large part of the Taoist religion. Some of the common associations with Yang and Yin, respectively are male and female, light and dark, active and passive, motion and stillness. The Yin and Yang symbol, in actuality, has very little to do with Western dualism; instead, it represents the philosophy of balance, where two opposites co-exist in harmony and are able to transmute into each other.
