Read the passage and answer the question. Artificial intelligence can help lenders assess large volumes of borrower data quickly, but its effectiveness depends on the quality and representativeness of the data used to train or calibrate the models. If historical data systematically exclude certain groups, a highly accurate model may still reproduce those exclusions. Which statement best captures the central argument?गद्यांश पढ़कर प्रश्न का उत्तर दीजिए। कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता lenders को बड़ी मात्रा में borrower data का तेजी से आकलन करने में मदद कर सकती है, लेकिन इसकी प्रभावशीलता training या calibration में उपयोग किए गए data की गुणवत्ता और प्रतिनिधित्व पर निर्भर करती है। यदि historical data में कुछ समूह व्यवस्थित रूप से शामिल नहीं हैं, तो अत्यधिक सटीक model भी उन exclusions को दोहरा सकता है। केंद्रीय तर्क को कौन-सा कथन सबसे अच्छी तरह व्यक्त करता है?
Correct answer: Model accuracy alone does not guarantee fair or unbiased lending outcomes.
Explanation: The passage distinguishes predictive accuracy from fairness. A model can be statistically accurate while reproducing biases present in its underlying data. Therefore, accuracy alone is not sufficient to ensure fair outcomes.

Read the passage and answer the question. A bank introduced a digital onboarding system that reduced account-opening time substantially. However, the bank also found that customers in areas with weak connectivity abandoned the process more often. Which conclusion is most strongly supported by the passage?गद्यांश पढ़कर प्रश्न का उत्तर दीजिए। एक बैंक ने डिजिटल onboarding प्रणाली शुरू की, जिससे खाता खोलने का समय काफी कम हो गया। हालांकि, बैंक ने यह भी पाया कि कमजोर कनेक्टिविटी वाले क्षेत्रों के ग्राहक प्रक्रिया को अधिक बार बीच में छोड़ देते थे। गद्यांश से कौन-सा निष्कर्ष सबसे अधिक समर्थित है?
Correct answer: Faster processing alone may not ensure equal access to banking services.
Explanation: The passage presents both an efficiency gain and an access limitation. Therefore, faster processing by itself cannot guarantee equitable access, especially where connectivity is weak.
