कथन 1 वैध है क्योंकि परिच्छेद बताता है कि भविष्य की फसलें अधिक जटिल होंगी, जिसका अर्थ है कि नियमन एक विकासशील प्रक्रिया है। कथन 2 अमान्य है क्योंकि जन-भागीदारी का कोई उल्लेख नहीं है। कथन 3 वैध है क्योंकि पाठ स्पष्ट रूप से सामाजिक-आर्थिक प्रभावों को ध्यान में रखने की बात कहता है। कथन 4 अमान्य है क्योंकि राजनीतिक कार्यपालिका की व्यापक संलिप्तता का विशेष उल्लेख नहीं किया गया है। अतः केवल 1 और 3 सही हैं।
In English (Question & Model Answer)
With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made: 1. Biotechnology regulation is an evolving process. 2. Participation of people is needed in policy decisions regarding biotechnology regulation. 3. Biotechnology regulation should take into account socio-economic aspects in decision-making. 4. Wider involvement of political executive in biotechnology regulation improves its effectiveness in dealing with the country's trade policies and international obligations.
Which of the above assumptions are valid?
A.(a) 1, 2 and 4 only
B.(b) 1 and 3 onlyCorrect
C.(c) 2, 3 and 4 only
D.(d) 1, 2, 3 and 4
Correct Option: (b) 1 and 3 only
Statement 1 is valid because the passage states that future crops will have multiple traits and biotechnology's regulation cannot be viewed solely through the current generation, implying an evolving process. Statement 2 is invalid because public participation in policy decisions is not mentioned anywhere in the passage. Statement 3 is valid because the text explicitly states the need for a comprehensive look taking into account socio-economic impacts. Statement 4 is invalid because the text mentions trade policies and international obligations, but it does not specify the 'wider involvement of political executive' as a requirement. Thus, only 1 and 3 are valid, making option (b) correct.
