Difficulty: MediumExplicit and Fact-Based Information Extraction

Read the following passage carefully:

"In August 2025, the Ministry of Earth Sciences released the Deep Ocean Mission Submersibles Operational Guidelines (DOMSOG). Under these guidelines, all manned submersibles operating within India's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) must obtain dual safety certification from both a recognized international classification society and the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT). However, unmanned autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) deployed solely for scientific research at depths of less than 1,000 meters are exempt from the dual certification requirement, provided they carry an automatic identification transponder."

Based on the passage, evaluate the truth value of the following statement:
Unmanned autonomous underwater vehicles intended for scientific research operating at a depth of 800 meters within India's Exclusive Economic Zone are exempt from obtaining dual certification if they are equipped with an automatic identification transponder.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True
The statement directly reflects the explicit details provided in the passage. The text outlines that while manned submersibles require dual certification, unmanned AUVs used solely for scientific research operating below 1,000 meters depth (which includes 800 meters) are exempt if equipped with an automatic identification transponder.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Locate the explicit rules governing certification exemptions in the passage.
The text states that unmanned AUVs used solely for scientific research at depths of less than 1,000 meters are exempt from dual certification, provided they carry an automatic identification transponder.
To establish the precise conditions required by the text for an exemption.
2
Compare the statement's parameters against the passage's criteria.
The statement specifies an unmanned AUV for scientific research operating at 800 meters (less than 1,000 meters) equipped with an automatic identification transponder.
To verify whether all stated conditions for exemption are met.
3
Formulate the final truth determination.
Because all explicit factual requirements match the passage exactly, the assertion is True.
To complete the evaluation based strictly on explicit text facts.
