Difficulty: EasyInference and Logical Deduction

Read the following passage carefully:

Under the Rural Clean Energy Access Initiative launched in 2025, solar microgrid installations in remote villages are eligible for state maintenance grants only if the operating entity ensures continuous electricity supply to local primary health centers. While private operators under this initiative are permitted to sell surplus power to local commercial enterprises, community-managed cooperatives are restricted to serving residential households and public infrastructure.

Based on the passage above, evaluate whether the following statement is True or False:

A private operator running a solar microgrid under this initiative is prohibited from selling surplus electricity to commercial enterprises.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is False because the passage explicitly permits private operators to sell surplus power to local commercial enterprises.
The correct response is False because the passage explicitly states that private operators are allowed to sell surplus electricity to local commercial enterprises. The claim that they are prohibited misrepresents the stated facts.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the subject of the statement in relation to the passage.
The statement refers to the rules governing 'private operators' regarding selling surplus power to commercial enterprises.
Accurate deduction requires matching the specific entity mentioned in the statement with its corresponding rules in the text.
2
Locate the specific passage text discussing private operators.
The text states: 'While private operators under this initiative are permitted to sell surplus power to local commercial enterprises...'
Direct text comparison verifies whether the claimed prohibition exists for private operators.
3
Evaluate the truth value of the statement.
The statement claims private operators are 'prohibited', which directly contradicts the explicit passage facts.
Since the passage permits what the statement claims is prohibited, the statement is logically False.
