Question

The world recognises this Indian innovation because Indian scientists are normally known

• A. To be good at analysing and finding out a method of how an existing drug is made.
• B. As they are good researchers of drugs.
• C. As they are good at carrying out experiments to create generic drugs.
• D. As they are able to carry out drug trials on large samples.

Hint:

Reverse engineering means working backward from a finished drug to figure out how it was made.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

This question asks why the world takes special notice of what Sangwan and Vemuganti achieved, tying it to a reputation Indian scientists already have. The passage spells out that reputation in one sentence, so the task is to match it to the right option.

1. To be good at analysing and finding out a method of how an existing drug is made: The passage says "Indians are well known for reverse engineering, meaning they can deduce how drugs are made in order to produce generic versions." Deducing how something already made works is exactly analysing and finding out its method, so this matches.
2. As they are good researchers of drugs: This is too vague and is not what the passage credits Indians with; the text is specific about reverse engineering existing drugs, not general drug research.
3. As they are good at carrying out experiments to create generic drugs: This shifts the emphasis to the experiments themselves rather than the analytical skill of figuring out how a drug was made, which is the actual point the passage makes.
4. As they are able to carry out drug trials on large samples: Drug trials are not mentioned anywhere in the passage in connection with this reputation.

Since reverse engineering means working backward from a finished drug to figure out its method of manufacture, the first option is the one that actually describes this skill.

Let's summarize:

• Reverse engineering is about analysing an existing product to find out how it was made, not inventing something new.
• The passage ties this reputation to producing generic drug versions after reverse engineering the originals.

The correct answer is that Indians are known for analysing and finding out the method behind an existing drug, option (A).
