Which of the following is most definitively implied by the above passage?
(a) Big Data is the key resource in the digital space. · (b) Big economies create Big Data. · (c) Access to Big Data is the prerogative of developed countries. · (d) Access to and possession of Big Data is a characteristic of developed countries.
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (a) डिजिटल दिक्स्थान में बड़े आँकड़े (बिग डेटा) मुख्य संसाधन होते हैं ।
The passage treats Big Data as the raw material that is mined, turned into digital intelligence and then used to control sectors and earn monopoly rents; even a cab company is really 'digital intelligence'. That makes Big Data the key resource of the digital space.
- ✓ (a) Data → intelligence → control of sectors and monopoly rents; the cab example shows the real asset is data.
- ✗ (b) The data is mined 'from developing countries'; nothing says big economies create it.
- ✗ (c) A 'prerogative' is an exclusive right; the passage describes what is happening, not an entitlement, and the data originates in developing countries.
- ✗ (d) Developing countries hold the data at source; what developed countries have is its conversion into intelligence, so this is not definite.
Remember · 'Most definitively implied' rewards the idea the whole passage rests on; reject options that turn a described trend into a right or a rule.
