Read this question in English
What is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage?
(a) Obesity has become an epidemic all over the world. · (b) A lot of people are obsessed with attaining a perfect body. · (c) Obesity is essentially an incurable disease. · (d) There is no perfect diet or one solution for obesity.
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (d) मोटापे के लिए कोई पूर्ण आहार अथवा एक समाधान नहीं है।
People differ in genetics, age, health, lifestyle and the foods they tolerate, so the passage says so many complexities cannot be reduced to one diet — which is why diets fail to curb obesity. The inference: no perfect diet, no single solution.
- ✗ (a) The passage calls dieting an epidemic, not obesity; the option swaps the subject.
- ✗ (b) That everyone seeks a perfect body is the passage's opening observation, not the inference its argument leads to.
- ✗ (c) Diets fail unless causes are addressed and habits change — which implies obesity can be tackled, not that it is incurable.
- ✓ (d) 'we really cannot reduce so many complexities into one diet or diet book' — no single diet suits everyone.
Remember · The inference is where the argument lands, not a restated opening line; also watch for options that swap the passage's subject.
