In question below is given a passage followed by several inferences. You have to examine each inference separately in the context of the passage and decide upon its degree of truth or falsity. Mark your answer as :

India needs higher investment in the port sector and still lags far behind the international ports in container traffic, though there has been considerable growth in this segment over the past few years. There is a need to continually benchmark Indian ports against the best ports worldwide and continue to engage in policy efforts so as to attain prices per container of port services which are the lowest in the world. The average turn-around time for ships docking at most of the ports in India has been falling for the past three years. However, pre-berthing time has been marginally increasing over the years.

Inference: Indian ports need considerable development to match with the best ports in the world.

Laws governing cooperative societies are uniform in all states. These laws give the member of a housing society the right to a nomination during his lifetime. This is quite unlike the rule in other property-related cases where nomination comes into force after the demise of the member. The question then arises, can the nominee get full proprietorial rights over a flat merely because he has been nominated by a deceased member of the society. Many people are under the wrong impression that once a nomination form has been filled, their responsibility is over and that the nominee would have no problem acquiring the property. And that the legal heirs of the member will pose no problem for the nominee.

The cooperative movement had started with cooperative housing societies.

Of the roughly 4,40,000 children who currently languish in America’s foster-care system, 20,000 are available for adoption, most of them are older children between the ages of 6 and 12. Among the adoptable children, 44% are white and 43% are black. But 67% of all families waiting to adopt are white, and many of them are eager to take a black child. The hurdles, however, are often formidable. Though only three US states — Arkansas, California and Minnesota — have laws promoting race matching in adoptions, 40 other favour the practice.

Children beyond 12 years of age are less suitable for adoption.
