Q10. Directions: Many people in India feel that if we cut our defence expenditure on weapon-building, we can create a climate of peace with our neighbours, subsequently reducing the conflict or creating a no-war situation. People who proclaim such ideas are either the victims of war or the propagators of false agreement.
With reference to the above passage, which of the following is the most valid assumption?
Building of weapons systems by us has instigated our neighbours to wage wars against us.
The greater spending on weapon-building by us would lessen the possibility of armed conflict with our neighbours.
It is necessary to have state of the art weapons systems for national security.
Many people in India believe that we are wasting our resources on weapon-building.
(A) is wrong as the passage says that if we can cut our defence expenses we can find peace or Building of weapons systems by us will instigated our neighbours to wage wars against us is a false propogation.
(B) is correct as the passage supports weapon-building by India. It can also be inferred from the passage that India wants to establish peace with our neighbours. So ‘weapon –building would lessen the possibility of armed conflict with our neighbour’s is the most valid assumption.
Although (C) is also an assumption but use of the words ‘state of the art’ and ‘national security does not make it the most valid assumption.
(D) is an inference but not an assumption.
Hence option-B is the answer
