Sourya committee had proposed the establishment of Sourya Institutes of Technology (SITs) in line with Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) to cater to the technological and industrial needs of a developing country.

Which of the following can be logically inferred from the above sentence?

Based on the proposal,
(i) In the initial years, SIT students will get degrees from IIT.
(ii) SITs will have a distinct national objective.
(iii) SIT like institutions can only be established in consultation with IIT.
(iv) SITs will serve technological needs of a developing country.

The correct answer is
(ii) and (iv) only.

Sourya Committee Proposal Analysis

The question asks for logical inferences based on the Sourya committee's proposal to establish Sourya Institutes of Technology (SITs) modeled after Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). The stated purpose is to cater to the technological and industrial needs of a developing country.

Evaluating Inferences

  • Statement (i): The proposal mentions SITs are established in line with IITs, implying a similar standard or model. It does not state that IITs will award degrees to SIT students. Therefore, statement (i) cannot be logically inferred.
  • Statement (ii): The objective is to meet the "technological and industrial needs of a developing country". This clearly indicates a specific, national goal focused on development. Thus, statement (ii) can be logically inferred.
  • Statement (iii): Establishing institutions in line with others suggests following a similar pattern or structure. It does not necessitate consultation or explicit approval from the established institutions (IITs). Therefore, statement (iii) cannot be logically inferred.
  • Statement (iv): The sentence explicitly states the purpose of SITs is "to cater to the technological and industrial needs of a developing country". This directly supports statement (iv).

Conclusion on Inferences

Based on the analysis, statements (ii) and (iv) are the only ones that can be logically inferred from the provided text.

Selected Answer

Therefore, the correct option includes statements (ii) and (iv) only.

Important Questions from Inference

  1. Language X is in vigorous use, with literature in a standardized form being used by some, though this is not yet widespread or sustainable. Based on the EGIDS scale by Lewis and Simons 2010, what is the status of the language X?
  2. The Chāndogya Upaniṣad gives the mahāvākya – Tat tvam asi (Ch. Upa. 6:8:7), ‘That you are.' In this ‘great statement' what does “tat” (“that”) stand for?

    Based on the given passage, which of the following can be inferred?

  4. The information contained in DNA is used to synthesize proteins that are necessary for the functioning of life. DNA is composed of four nucleotides: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G). The information contained in DNA can then be thought of as a sequence of these four nucleotides: A, T, C, and G. DNA has coding and non-coding regions. Coding regions—where the sequence of these nucleotides are read in groups of three to produce individual amino acids—constitute only about 2% of human DNA. For example, the triplet of nucleotides CCG codes for the amino acid glycine, while the triplet GGA codes for the amino acid proline. Multiple amino acids are then assembled to form a protein. 
    Based only on the information provided above, which of the following statements can be logically inferred with certainty? 
    (i) The majority of human DNA has no role in the synthesis of proteins. 
    (ii) The function of about 98% of human DNA is not understood.

  5. The World Bank has declared that it does not plan to offer new financing to Sri Lanka, which is battling its worst economic crisis in decades, until the country has an adequate macroeconomic policy framework in place. In a statement, the World Bank said Sri Lanka needed to adopt structural reforms that focus on economic stabilisation and tackle the root causes of its crisis. The latter has starved it of foreign exchange and led to shortages of food, fuel, and medicines. The bank is repurposing resources under existing loans to help alleviate shortages of essential items such as medicine, cooking gas, fertiliser, meals for children, and cash for vulnerable households. 
    Based only on the above passage, which one of the following statements can be inferred with certainty?
