Answer:

He bends so that he can touch his father's feet.

Explanation:

This question is related to the short story "A Devoted Son" by Anita Desai. In this story when Rakesh sees that the result of the exam he performed was wonderful, he understands that it will bring glory to his family and that this all happened thanks to the dedication and sacrifices that his parents performed. If it weren't for his parents, he wouldn't be able to achieve such good results, which is why when he finds out that he has achieved an optimal result he quickly bends over and touches the feet of his father, Varma, his father; as a sign of respect and thanks.

Answer :

According to Varma, the first thing that Rakesh did upon seeing his excellent exam results was to bow down and touch his (his father's) feet.

The following lines from the short story "A Devoted Son" by Anita Desai give the answer to the question "To everyone who came to him to say “Mubarak, Varmaji, your son has brought you glory,” the father said, “Yes, and do you know what is the first thing he did when he saw the results this morning? He came and touched my feet. He bowed down and touched my feet.” This moved many of the women in the crowd so much that they were seen to raise the ends of their saris and dab at their tears while the men reached out for the betel-leaves and sweetmeats that were offered around on trays and shook their heads in wonder and approval of such exemplary filial behavior. “One does not often see such behavior in sons any more,” they all agreed, a little enviously perhaps."

20738 Write a couple of paragraphs on My Plans​
murzikaleks [220]
After the completion of my Examination, I plan to visit some places, learn computer application and English language. I am intending to visit Pokhara, one of the beauty spots of the country. I can get entertainment and knowledge by visiting various places. It is also beneficial for our health. For a few months, I will learn computer applications and English language. Nowadays computer knowledge is very important because computers are widely used in all fields. Similarly, English is an international language. We should have good knowledge and skill of it. I am thinking of preparing an entrance examination. I am strongly willing to study science because I want to be doctor in future. That's why I will join a science college. I realize that hard labour and strong determination are basically required to study science and to be a doctor as well.
