Solution

The correct option is C

I, III, and IV only


The passage explicitly states in the fourth paragraph that rural households got single- phase 24 x7 electricity supply for residential and industrials purpose. Therefore, statement (I) is true. For farmer’s agricultural use separate feeders were arranged. This supply as earlier would be subsidized but only for continuous eight hours. So for agriculture supply would be for continuous 8 hours and not 24 hours. Hence, statements (II) is false but statement (III) is true.

You have noted that the passage has stated that Gujarat became power surplus after the reforms. With 24x7 electricity supply for residential and industrials purpose. Therefore, statements (I) is true. For farmer’s agricultural use separate feeders were arranged. This supply as earlier would be subsidized but only for continuous eight hours. So for agriculture supply would be for continuous 8 hours and not 24 hours, statements (II) is false but statement (III) is true.
