Question

Allocating more funds in the budget for primary education will substantially improve the quality of education

• A. If the inference is ‘definitely true’, i.e., it properly follows from the statement of facts given.
• B. If the ‘data is inadequate’ i.e. from the facts given you cannot say whether the inference is likely to be true or false.
• C. If the inference is ‘probably false’ though not ‘definitely false’ in the light of the facts given.
• D. If the inference is ‘definitely false’ i.e. it cannot possibly be drawn from the facts given or it contradicts the given facts.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

If the inference is ‘probably false’ though not ‘definitely false’ in the light of the facts given.

There are issues that go beyond the budgetary allocation, viz political and administrative task. Hence “substantial improvement” is rather doubtful.
