Although the nation still doesn’t know whether Sonam Gupta is bewafa or not, that tattered 10 rupee note bearing the thoughts of her jilted lover has sure had an impact on the lives of other Sonam Guptas living in the country.
IIT-Guwahati incorporated the ‘Sonam Gupta bewafa hai’ meme in a probability question paper.
Reportedly, here is what the questions were:
Determine if a person ‘x’ is bewafa, what is the probablity that Sonam Gupta is bewafa given a dependence structure between variables where all variables are binary and their high values mean the following: G means gender of ‘x’ is female (~G means the opposite), S means biological parents of ‘x’ are strict with her, W means x is wealthy, A means x is attractive, L means x has lots of options, B means x is bewafa, C means at least one other person y claims that the person x is bewafa.
It seems that Sonam Gupta is to haunt the lives of students at IIT for a little bit longer!
