Per capita income of slum dwellers is significantly lower than those living in better housing facilities.

• 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 is 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.

This can be inferred uncertainly from the passage from the statement - "Low productivity is likely to lead to low income."
