Which of the following can be assumed from the above statement?

(I) After this historical decision, corruption rate would have been gone down in India.

(II) India is ranked among top 5 big economic country.

(III) Many of the countrymen wanted corruption and black marketing should be reduced.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Statement (I): "After this historical decision, corruption rate would have been gone down in India."
   - The passage states the decision was to curb corruption and had overwhelming support.
   - However, it does not confirm that corruption rate *would have* gone down; this is a prediction, not a fact or assumption from the passage.
   - Hence, (I) cannot be assumed with certainty.

2. Statement (II): "India is ranked among top 5 big economic country."
   - The passage mentions India’s black-market economy is bigger than GDP of countries like Thailand and Argentina.
   - It implies India is a big economy but does not explicitly say India is in top 5.
   - However, since India’s GDP is large enough to be compared with other countries, it is reasonable to assume India is among the big economies.

3. Statement (III): "Many of the countrymen wanted corruption and black marketing should be reduced."
   - The passage says "Most of the industry and commoners alike reacted to this decision to curb corruption with overwhelming support."
   - This implies many people wanted corruption and black marketing reduced.

**Conclusion:**
- (II) and (III) can be assumed from the passage.
- (I) cannot be assumed as a fact.

**Answer:** (d) Only II and III
