Which among the following is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage?
(a) India’s GDP displays high value-added and high productivity levels in medium tech and resource processing industries. · (b) Promotion of capital and technology intensive manufacturing is not possible in India. · (c) India should push up the public investments and encourage the private investments in research and development, technology upgradation and skill development. · (d) India has already gained a great share in global markets in sectors showing a rising trend in demand.
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (c) भारत को, अनुसंधान एवं विकास, प्रौद्योगिकी उन्नयन और कौशल विकास में, सरकारी निवेश बढ़ाना चाहिए और गैर-सरकारी निवेशों को प्रोत्साहित करना चाहिए।
Indian manufacturing must move to higher-tech, higher-value and higher-productivity sectors, and the growing global markets are mainly in high-technology, capital-intensive goods. Getting there needs investment in research, technology upgradation and skills.
- ✗ (a) The passage says India must move up from these sectors; it does not credit India with high value added or productivity in them.
- ✗ (b) The passage treats the move to such manufacturing as necessary; nothing says it is impossible.
- ✓ (c) Capturing high-tech, capital-intensive markets calls for investment in research, technology and skills — the natural policy conclusion.
- ✗ (d) The passage says India 'needs to capture' these markets, which means it has not done so yet.
Remember · When a passage sets a challenge, the logical inference is usually the means to meet it, not a claim that it is already met.
