People are not using credit cards in the current year due to rampant credit card related fraud.

• A. If the inference is ‘definitely true’, i.e., it properly follows from the statement of facts given.

• 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 E

If the inference is ‘definitely false’ i.e. it cannot possibly be drawn from the facts given or it contradicts the given facts.

The very first line of the passage clearly indicates that the drop in the number of credit card users was due to slackness in economy.
