Directions: A brief passage or a statement is given and a question is asked, based on the information provided in the passage/statement. Critically examine the five alternative answer options marked (1) to (5) and choose the best answer.Moving beyond India's now well established success in information technology, are their any unique possibilities in innovation? Can India aspire to be a hub for innovation on a global scale? Can this be the next big opportunity for India? Innovation is doing something different and better that multiplies the utility, or brings down the cost, or enhances the value of a known entity. If innovation involves an aptitude to do things differently, does the Indian mind have it? This is debatable, but it can be seen that we do have some attributes that are relevant. Some of the conditions that foster out-of-the-box solutions include scarcity and need. Apart from these and a constant exposure to diversity, trying out flexible solutions to vexing problems is a part of Indian reality. Going beyond these necessity-induced traits, there are other attributes that characterize us: valuing knowledge and education, respect for mental work, a propensity to take short-cuts, an argumentative mind. If this is true, it could be postulated that the spirit of innovation is not alien to the Indian mind.Which of the following conclusions cannot be inferred from the passage?
Indian mind has not lacked in experimentation.
Lack of conformity influences mental attitudes.
Will innovation in new products or processes on a global scale become the next Indian wave?
We have to work intelligently towards harnessing opportunities to innovate, to create a success story like information technology.
In our search for new options and directions to sustain and augment economic growth, Innovation provides a good opportunity.
