III. Details of India’s contribution to the initiative
Options
- AOnly I
- BOnly III
- COnly I and II
- DOnly II and III
Correct answer
A. Only I
Step-by-step solution
Statement I: The signing of the Memorandum of Cooperation is significant, given that the countries had been negotiating the deal since last year, with little success- The statement as a whole is logical with the first fragment providing a perfect introduction to the second fragment.
Statement II: The joint initiative is estimated to \cos t between 700 million, given that the countries had been negotiating the deal since last year, with little success- This does not sound meaningful as the first fragment talks about the \cos t while the second deals with negotiating.
Statement III: Details of India’s contribution to the initiative, given that the countries had been negotiating the deal since last year, with little success- this statement clearly does not make any sense and is incoherent.
Only statement I is correct.
Hence, option A is correct.
