Statement: There are chances of hike in the electricity tariff soon. This proposal will bring about a sharp increase for the industrial consumers and marginal increase for the domestic consumers.
Conclusions:
(a) At present there is a disparity in the electricity tariff between the domestic and the industrial consumers.
(b) Industrial consumers consume more electricity than the domestic users.
(c) Consumption of electricity by the industrial consumer is comparatively lower than the domestic user.
(d) After this hike, the electricity board will start making profit.
(e) If this proposal is accepted, then industrial output will get positively affected.
Answer: B
Correct answer: b
A tariff rise that falls sharply on industry and only marginally on households implies that industry is the heavier user, on whom the increase will bite - so (b) follows. Option (c) says the opposite; the rest bring in disparity, profits or industrial output, none of which the statement mentions.
