A Group of commuters of the Mumbai suburban railways called for a strike in response to the increase in the number of accidents in that route in the past one year due to overcrowding. The commuters want to continue the strike unless the authorities agree to increase the frequency of the trains in that route.Which of the following can be inferred from the above statement?
A. Increase in the frequency of the trains would lead to decrease in number of such accidents
B. The trains in the Mumbai suburban run overcrowded
C. The railway authorities are in different to the safety of commuters
D. The railway did not increase the frequency in proportion to the increase in the number of commuters in the past one year
Feedback For 1: Here the commuters called on the strike in a response to the accidents which take place due to overcrowding and are demanding increase in the frequency of trains, assuming that if the frequency increases, then lesser number of such accident would take place. Hence, 1 is an assumption.
For 2: From the statement “increase in the number of overcrowding “it can be concluded that, the trains in the Mumbai suburban run overcrowded. Hence, 2 is a conclusion.
For 3: In the statement, there is no reference to intension of the railway authority. Hence, 3 is out of context.
For 4: As the number of accidents is increasing in the past one year, it can be inferred that, the frequency of trains did not increase in accordance to the increase in the number of commuters. Hence, 4 is an inference.
For 2: From the statement “increase in the number of overcrowding “it can be concluded that, the trains in the Mumbai suburban run overcrowded. Hence, 2 is a conclusion.
For 3: In the statement, there is no reference to intension of the railway authority. Hence, 3 is out of context.
For 4: As the number of accidents is increasing in the past one year, it can be inferred that, the frequency of trains did not increase in accordance to the increase in the number of commuters. Hence, 4 is an inference.
