Question

Assuming the given statement to be true, select inference as one of the options.
Statement: X is one of the state of country Y. In state X for every 1000 males there are 850 females.
Inference: Country Y has less females than males.

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C. Uncertain
• D. Irrelevant

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Data Scope 

The statement provides data only for state X, not the entire country Y.

Step 2: Evaluate the Data

While state X has a lower female population than males, we do not know the gender ratio for the entire country.

Step 3: Conclusion

Since we cannot generalize from one state to the entire country, the inference is uncertain.
