Indian currency notes show the denomination indicated in at least seventeen languages. If this is not an indication of the nation’s diversity, nothing else is.

Which of the following can be logically inferred from the above sentences?

  • A.India is a country of exactly seventeen languages.
  • B.Linguistic pluralism is the only indicator of a nation’s diversity.
  • C.Indian currency notes have sufficient space for all the Indian languages.
  • D.Linguistic pluralism is strong evidence of India’s diversity.

Answer: D

The valid inference is Linguistic pluralism is strong evidence of India’s diversity.

'If this is not an indication of the nation's diversity, nothing else is' is an emphatic way of saying that the many languages on the notes are among the strongest signs of diversity. That supports the claim that linguistic pluralism is strong evidence of it.

'At least seventeen' rules out 'exactly seventeen languages'. The passage does not say language is the only indicator, only a very strong one. And nothing is said about whether the notes have room for all Indian languages.
