Logical Reasoning(Master ) Statement - Assumptions

The offer of the government to make iodised salt available at a low price of one rupee per kilo is welcome, especially since the government seems to be so concerned about the ill effects of non iodised salt. But it is doubtful whether the offer will actually be implemented. Way back in 1994, the governmental methods for reducing the costs of iodisation to about five paise per kilo. But these reports have remained just those-reports on paper.

Which one of the following, if true most weakens the author’s contention that it is doubtful whether the offer will be actually implemented?

The government proposes to save on costs by using the three methods it has already devised for iodisation.

The chain of fair-price distribution outlets now covers all the districts of the state.

Many small-scale and joint sector units have completed trials to use the three iodisation methods for regular production.

The government which initiated the earlier effort is in place even today and has more information on the effects of no-iodised salt

Explanation:

option c is the correct option as according to the passage, the low price of one rupee per kilo can be brought about by small scale and joint sector units which have already completed trials for regular production. If the small scale sector can produce iodised salt at cheaper rate then selling the salt can be made practical through these sectors at a large scale.
