Question

Directions: The question consists of  statement and three Inferences. The student must first determine whether each statement is true. Choose the appropriate option after reading the three statements carefully.

Statement:

Quite independent of the global economic meltdown, India's neglect of its physical infrastructure has been a malaise demanding radical treatment.

Inferences:

I. Radical treatment would reduce the adverse effects of global economic meltdown and India's neglect of its physical infrastructure.

II. Physical infrastructure is the base of high growth trajectory.

1. Only I follows
2. Only II follows
3. Either I or II follows
4. Neither I or II follows
5. Both I and II follow

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Neither I or II follows

The correct answer is option 4. The author states that the Indian Government should have taken care of its physical infrastructure. Radical change is for physical infrastructure but not global economy. So, I is not an assumption.

In the statement nothing is stated about the growth rate. Hence II is irrelevant.
