Match List-I with List-II \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \textbf{List-I (Information Centre)} & \textbf{List-II (Description)} \\ \hline (A)\ \text{SENDOC} & (I)\ \text{support of scientific research and development work} \\ (B)\ \text{ICSSR} & (II)\ \text{support of defence science} \\ (C)\ \text{NISSAT} & (III)\ \text{provide technological and managerial information} \\ (D)\ \text{Desidoc} & (IV)\ \text{provide budget for research social science} \\ \hline \end{array} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (IV), (C) - (III), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Hint:

Use the acronyms as clues: Desidoc has 'defence'. ICSSR has 'social science'. NISSAT's 'S' and 'T' point to Science and Technology. SENDOC's 'SE' points to Small Enterprises.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Identify the full name and function of each center in List-I. \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) SENDOC (Small Enterprises National Documentation Centre): Focused on providing information for small industries, which includes technological and managerial information.} \\ \bullet & \text{(B) ICSSR (Indian Council of Social Science Research): An organization that promotes and funds research in the social sciences.} \\ \bullet & \text{(C) NISSAT (National Information System for Science and Technology): A programme aimed at creating a network to support scientific research and development work.} \\ \bullet & \text{(D) Desidoc (Defence Scientific Information & Documentation Centre): Part of DRDO, its mission is to provide information support for defence science.} \\ \end{array}\]

Step 2: Match the functions to the descriptions in List-II. \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) SENDOC matches (III) provide technological and managerial information.} \\ \bullet & \text{(B) ICSSR matches (IV) provide budget for research social science.} \\ \bullet & \text{(C) NISSAT matches (I) support of scientific research and development work.} \\ \bullet & \text{(D) Desidoc matches (II) support of defence science.} \\ \end{array}\]

Step 3: Form the correct combination. The correct matching is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.
