Question

Read the following passage carefully.

Mathematics in India, inevitably makes one think of one extra ordinary figure of recent times. This was

Srinivasa Ramanujam, born in a poor Brahmin family in South India, having no opportunities for a proper

education, he became a clerk in the Madras Port Trust. But he was bubbling over with some irrepressible

quality of instinctive genius and played about with numbers are equations in his spare time. By a luck

chance, he sent some of his amateur works to Cambridge University in England which attracted the

attention of a mathematician there. The scholars were impressed and a scholarship was arranged for him

there. So, he went to Cambridge and during a very brief period of time there, he did works of profound

value and amazing originality. The Royal Society of England honoured him by making a Fellow, but he

died two years later at the age of 33. Prof. Julian Huxley had referred to him somewhere as the greatest

mathematician of the century.

Ramanujan’s brief life and death are symbolic of conditions in India. If life opened gates to millions of

literate and starving people and offered them healthy conditions of living, education and opportunities of

growth, how many of them would be eminent scientists, educationalists, industrialists, writers and artists,

helping to build a new India and a new world?
