1. Given the poor quality of service in the public sector, the HIV/AIDS affected should be switching to private initiatives that supply anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs) at a low cost.
2. The government has been supplying free drugs since 2004, and 35000 have benefited up to now - though the size of the affected population is 150 times this number.
3. The recent initiatives of networks and companies like AIDS Care Network, Emcure, Reliance-Cipla-CII, would lead to availability of much-needed drugs to a larger number of affected people.
4. But how ironic it is that we should face a perennial shortage of drugs when India is one of the world‘s largest suppliers of generic drugs to the developing world.

The correct option is A JFIJ
Check which option provides the verifiable data, which provides the objective conclusion and which option is opinion based. If you evaluate the statement 1 ‘Given the poor quality of services in the public sector…’ it is more opinion based hence judgement. Despite knowing the poor quality of service in Public Sector, not everyone might agree to it. Another part of the statement “should be switching to private initiatives” is again opinion based, hence qualifies for judgement.
Now find out how many options begin with ‘J’. You find A, B & E begin with ‘J’. So eliminate other 2 options. Now analyse the second statement which has some statistical data and numbers. The statement has the verifiable data hence is ‘Fact’ based. Now eliminate option B and focus on option A & E. Since both the options state that statement 3 is ‘Inference’, it is better to move to statement D whether it is Judgement or Inference. The statement begins with ‘But how ironic it is…’ is again purely opinion based and therefore is ‘Judgement’. While Option E does not conform to our answer, option 1 does. You no longer need to read the statement C as it is ‘Inference’ as stated in both the options. Hence option(A) is the answer.
