Question

Get more involved in our real world. Food inflation is a fantastic way to teach our children mathematics. Try having your child plot a graph in India for different jobs between, say, 1950 and today (engineer, doctor, maid, driver). Have them plot how costs have grown in the same period, it will be a fun exercise. By the time they finish the exercise, not only will your children learn a lot, but likely you will realize too that, while our incomes have zoomed 300 times in this period, salaries of maids have probably gone up only 50 times and costs have gone up 100 times. Your maid still has a seven-day week, with no paid vacation or casual leaves. And realizing just how lucky we are is often the first step towards serious philanthropy.

All the following statements can be inferred from the above paragraph expect for one. Find out the statement which cannot be inferred.

• A. Real world problems are a good way to understand other subjects as well as have appreciation for the real world problem.
• B. Though there are huge salary differences, for all the jobs/professions the increase has atleast not been less than the rate of inflation over a longer period of time.
