The center has released an additional Rs. 65 crore to the State to implement the midday meal scheme in primary and upper primary schools in educationally backward areas for the current academic year.
Which of the following is an assumption implicit in the given statement?
Answer: B
The statement does not refer to high schools. Moreover it is stated that the released funds are additional funds. It is not known how the earlier funds were released. Hence, choice (1) is out of context.
As the released funds are for schools in educationally backward areas, it is clear that government is under the assumption that midday meal scheme would encourage children to go to school.
Hence, choice (2) is an assumption.
It is stated that the funds have been released, but not that they have been spent. Hence, choice (3) is out of context.
As the center is encouraging children to go to school. It can be inferred that the center wants children to go to school.
Hence, choice (4) is an inference.
