Question

Directions: A statement is given followed by two inferences I and II. You have to consider the statement to be true even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given inferences, if any, follow from the given statement.

Statement: One way to cut effluents while earning revenues is to price the carbon content of domestic production and imports.

Inference:

I.Domestic production leads to the generation and release of carbon-related compounds into the environment.

 II.Production and release of carbon-generated compounds are undesirable.

1.

Only I follows.

2. Only II follows.
3.

Either I or II follows.

4.

Neither I nor II follows.

5. Both I and II follow.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 5 : Both I and II follow.

The statement mentions that the carbon-rich discharge from domestic industry and imports can be managed effectively and brought down by charging revenue.

From what has been supplied it can be deduced that domestic production leads to the generation of carbon-related content into the environment. So, inference I follows.

Also, from the supplied statement it can be inferred that the production of carbon-related content is not environment friendly therefore there is a need to regulate its emissions. So, inference II follows.

Hence, Both I and II follow.
