Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
An institution falls under a government department’s financial umbrella only when that department formally recognizes and funds it as an autonomous body. A scientific-sounding name or a related research area is not enough.
Application
Check the Department of Science and Technology roster institution by institution: Bose Institute, Agharkar Research Institute, Raman Research Institute, and Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology are listed autonomous institutions.
The Indian Council of Astrological Sciences is not part of that DST autonomous-institution roster, so any combination containing E fails the all-members condition.
Contrast
A, B and E only includes E, which is outside the DST roster.
B, D and E only includes E, which is outside the DST roster.
C, D and E only includes E, which is outside the DST roster.
Cross-check
Institution | DST roster result |
|---|---|
Bose Institute | Listed |
Agharkar Research Institute | Listed |
Raman Research Institute | Listed |
Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology | Listed |
Indian Council of Astrological Sciences | Not listed |
Result
Therefore, the required combination is A, B, C and D only.
