1. India needs a new generation of urban professionals with knowledge relevant to modern urban practice.
2. Indian universities at present have no capacity or potential to impart training in systems approach.
Which of the assumptions given above is/are correct?
(a) 1 only · (b) 2 only · (c) Both 1 and 2 · (d) Neither 1 nor 2
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (a) केवल 1
The author holds up the systems-trained planners of the West and then notes that planning in India and its education differ. This presumes that India needs such modern urban professionals. Saying Indian universities have ‘no capacity or potential’ is far too extreme.
- ✓ 1. By praising the West’s planners trained in modern systems methods and contrasting Indian planning education with them, the author takes for granted that India needs professionals with this modern knowledge.
- ✗ 2. The passage only says Indian planning education differs from the West. ‘No capacity or potential’ is an absolute claim it never makes; a difference in approach is not an inability.
Remember · ‘Different’ does not mean ‘incapable’. Reject assumptions that turn a contrast into a total absence.
