Discussion

Indian granite industry is in peril in the absence of a uniform policy from the State Governments, despite the 

thrust given by liberalisation policies of the Union Government in the last two years. Compared to the remark-

-able progress in the field during the last three years, the absence of matching policies by State Governments 

had put granite quarry owners and others involved in the industry on the verge of collapse in the international 

market. The policies differed from state to state, had created problems as far as loyalty, dead rent and duration

of lease were concerned.

The granite production is largely controlled by individuals.

  • A.Data inadequate
  • B.Definitely true
  • C.Probably true
  • D.Probably false

Answer: B

Correct answer: Probably true

The passage names granite quarry owners as the people put on the verge of collapse, which suggests the quarries are in private hands rather than run by the state. But an owner may as easily be a company as an individual, and the passage never says which. The implication is there and points one way, so probably true is the right verdict - definitely true would require the passage to say it.
