Read the following five passage and answer the items that follow. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.
India is at once among the fastest growing global economies and home to the largest number of malnourished children in the world. There are regions where malnutrition is not the exception but the norm. And across the country, malnutrition is the cause of death for roughly half the 1-3 million children who die before their fifth birthday each year. Even those children who survive suffer permanently from the damage that has already been done to their bodies and minds from not getting enough of the right foods and nutrients. Around 44 million children under 5 are stunted. That makes it harder for them to learn in school and subsequently earn a living as adults. Their lifetime earnings potential is almost a quarter less than that or their healthy peers.
With reference to the above passage, which of the following is/are the most rational and practical implication/ Implications?
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
1, 2, 3 and 4
2, 3, 4 and 5
1 only
3 and 5 only
Sol. Ans.(c). Theme is “Malnutrition in India”.
A very tricky question. Note that the passage is focused solely on “malnutrition” and no other topic at all – neither vaccination, nor water/sanitation nor breastfeeding, etc.
Hence, of all the statements given, if we have to focus on malnutrition alone, then it means food supply for all citizens, especially the weaker sections. And that means a better PDS system. Only statement 1 fits. If the Union govt. can monitor the PDS from the perspective of eliminating malnutrition, then the problem can be mitigated.
Statement 5 is not mentioned, so options (b) and (d) are eliminated.
And option (a) is eliminated due to 2 not being relevant instantly.
