Solutions

S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. In the above question we have to find the result of the above statement.
For I-This cannot be the result because if a person does not have Aadhar, he/she will not get government help in treatment but can take treatment of TB without Aadhar.
For II-This could be the result as mentioned in the given statement that patients need Aadhar card to get benefits under government scheme.
For III-This also could be the result because it is clear from the given statement that to get benefits of the scheme verification of Aadhar will be required.
For IV-This is not the result of the given statement because this statement states that cases of TB patients increased in India now which is not directly related to the statement.

S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. For I- This argument does not hold strong because this initiative is for girls to get benefited initially but it is not like that education will make free for everyone.
For II-This argument also holds strong because a law/scheme or bill should not be for any particular gender, but it should be for the one who really need it.
For III-This is also strong because gender should not be the criterion for the free education. It is the poor who should get the benefits.

S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. In the above question we have to find which statement supports the given statement.
For I-This statement supports the given statement because there should be some guideline on social media to stop this anti national propaganda as given in the statement.
For II-This is also true because this move will help to stop terrorist from using social media as a platform to encourage terrorism.
For III-It also substantiates the importance of this policy as rumors on social media will further provoke riots in the country.
For IV-This could not substantiate from the given statement as it states that only social media is responsible for terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir. So, this is false.
