Which of the following is NOT in line with the given statement? I:  Physicist CV Raman was the first-ever Indian to win a Nobel Prize. II: In the year 1930, CV Raman discovered the Raman Effect. 

Indian physicist CV Raman was the first Indian to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in the year 1930 for his discovery of the Raman Effect, which is the scattering of light in different substances. Which of the following is NOT in line with the given statement? I:  Physicist CV Raman was the first-ever Indian to win a Nobel Prize. II: In the year 1930, CV Raman discovered the Raman Effect.  Correct Answer <span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif">Both I and II</span>

Both I and II are not in line with the statement.

CONCEPT:

1) in line with (someone or something) - This is an idiom which means in agreement or accordance with someone or something; consistent with someone or something.

2) Accordingly, in this question, we need to identify the choice(s) which is/are NOT consistent or NOT in agreement with the given information.

Key Points

  • The statement says that Indian physicist CV Raman was the first Indian to win the Nobel Prize in Physics,
  • We cannot determine that he was the first Indian to win a Nobel prize using the given information. We are only told that the first Nobel prize in Physics for an Indian was that of CV Raman. Therefore, I is not in line with the statement.
  • CV Raman was awarded in the year 1930 for his discovery of the Raman effect. However, it is not necessary that the discovery of the Raman effect was also in 1930. We cannot claim that the discovery as well as awarding was in the year 1930 using the given information. Thus, II is not in line with the statement.

Additional Information

  • Rabindranath Tagore - He was the first-ever Indian to get a Nobel Prize in 1913, for his outstanding work in Literature.
