Read the following passage and answer the following questions:
A team of researchers led by Professor Udit Bhatia, including Raviraj Dave and Srikrishnan Siva Subramanian, from the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) has developed an integrated predictive model to accurately understand and assess the real magnitude of heavy rainfall-induced damages in road transport networks. This hazard model can help administrators identify the ‘hotspots’ which should be reinforced and protected to solve highway-flooding issues and minimise the socio-economic disruptions. The research team use satellite(A)/ imageries, ingeniously developed(B)/ landslide and debris flow models(C), and state-of-the-art flood predictions models to predict the occurrence time and geographical locations that have a high susceptibility to the simultaneous occurrence of flooding, landslides and debris flow events after heavy rainfall episodes.
Question:
Which of these following institutes has developed the integrated predictive model to assess the real magnitude of heavy rainfall-induced damages in road transport networks?
- A.
IIT Gandhinagar
- B.
IIT Kanpur
- C.
IIT Dhanbad
- D.
IIT Bombay
Attempted by 228 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Solution
The correct answer is Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar.
Key point:
The passage states: "A team of researchers led by Professor Udit Bhatia, including Raviraj Dave and Srikrishnan Siva Subramanian, from the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) has developed an integrated predictive model to accurately understand and assess the real magnitude of heavy rainfall-induced damages in road transport networks."
Therefore, the institute that developed the model is the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar.
The other listed institutes are not mentioned in the passage as developers of this model.
