The research published in the 'Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism', is the first of its kinds to investigate the association between the chemical triclosan, exposure with bone mineral density and osteoporosis. A person can be exposed to triclosan via consumer products like soaps, toothpastes, sanitizers and other such products. 'However little is known about the relationship between triclosan and human bone health. Laboratory studies have demonstrated that triclosan may have potential to adversely affect the bone density in animals,' said one scientist studying effects of triclosan. Select the most appropriate conclusion based on above information.

Laboratory studies have demonstrated that triclosan may have potential to adversely affect the bone density in animals,' said one scientist studying effects of triclosan. Select the most appropriate conclusion based on above information. Correct Answer Since some studies have demonstrated that triclosan may have potential to affect bone density in animals, it is necessary to ban its use in various products used by humans.

The correct answer is 'Since some studies have demonstrated that triclosan may have potential to affect bone density in animals, it is necessary to ban its use in various products used by humans.'

Key Points Let's look at the following points-

  • The given context is regarding- Chemicals in everyday products can up risk of osteoporosis.
    • Let's refers to the given line- Laboratory studies have demonstrated that triclosan may have potential to adversely affect (that triclosan may have potential to adversely affect human bone mineral) the bone density in animals.
    • It is mentioned that  Laboratory studies have demonstrated hat triclosan may have potential to adversely affect the bone density in animals.
  • Thus,  it can be easily concluded that  it is necessary to ban Triclosan use in various products used by human beings as it is found in studies that triclosan may have potential to affect bone density in animals (that may have potential to affect the human bone heath).

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

We have forgotten that health really means to enable a person to do his work and do it well. A lot of modern medicine, and this includes many patients as well as many physicians, pay very little attention to health but very much attention to those who imagine they are ill. Our great concern with health is shown by the medical columns in newspapers, the health articles in popular magazines and the popularity of television programmes and all those books on medicine. We talk about health all the time. Yet for the most part the only result is more people with imaginary illness. A healthy man should not be wasting time talking about health : he should be using health for work.

The question given below consists of a statement, followed by three arguments numbered I, II and III. You have to decide which of the arguments is/are ‘strong’ arguments and which is/are ‘weak’ arguments and accordingly choose your answer from the alternatives given below each question. Statement: India’s telecom watchdog has suggested regulation of all entities dealing with consumer data—devices such as iPhones, operating systems such as Android, browsers like Google’s Chrome and apps such as Facebook, Paytm, Uber or Zomato— by bringing them under licence conditions that apply to telecom service providers until a general data protection law is put in place by the government. Which of the following argument weakens the above statement in the best possible manner? Arguments: I. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) said the framework for protection of personal information is ‘not sufficient’ and that the issue of data ownership, privacy, and security is complex and multi-dimensional. It suggested expanding the ambit of licence conditions governing telcos to all entities handling customer information and empowerment of customers to keep their data secure. II. The telecom watchdog further said that individual users owned their data, or personal information, and entities such as devices were ‘mere custodians’ and do not have primary rights over that information. III. Telcos and internet service providers (ISPs) though welcomed recommendations that sought to bring app makers under the same regulations. However, content providers have been opposed to being brought under more regulation.
