“the bad news induced her unable to study” is wrong.
It would be possible to say, “the bad news induced her to be unable to study”, but it's a very awkward way of saying it. More likely would be “the bad news caused her to be unable to study”, or more simply, "the bad news made her unable to study."

Those two sentences do not have the same meaning.
In this case, "made" or "caused her to be" are more similar to the meaning of "rendered."
