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

The passage states that more than one-third of India remains largely underfed. However, the passage does not provide the reader with any other statics or information through which we could definitely conclude that the given inference holds 'definitely true'. In this context, we can conclude that the given inference is 'probably true' though not 'definitely true'. Thus B is the best answer.
