Options
- AOnly II
- BOnly III
- COnly I and III
- DOnly II and III
Correct answer
A. Only II
Step-by-step solution
I. On one hand, the government is providing power to industrialists of Vidarbha and Marathwada at concessional rates but on the other, the State Discom MSEDCL is providing free electricity to them.
Whenever we have the expression ‘on one hand..on the other hand..’, we have two contradicting statements for each. Here, both statements agree with each other and hence, the sentence is not logical.
II. On one hand, the government is providing cheap food to people and on the other, it is increasing fuel prices. This is correct.
III. On one hand, the government is providing water and power supply in some colonies but on the other side, government has lifted the ban on their development.
Here too, we have two statements agreeing with one another and hence illogical.
Thus, option A is correct.
