Difficulty: EasyInference and Logical Deduction

Read the following passage carefully:

To address declining urban biodiversity, the State Municipal Green Governance Policy mandates that all newly constructed commercial complexes exceeding 5,000 square meters must dedicate at least 20 percent of their rooftop area to native flora micro-habitats. However, complexes that achieve full rainwater harvesting compliance within six months of completion are granted a 5 percent reduction in their mandatory rooftop greenery requirement.

Based on the passage, evaluate whether the following statement is True or False:
'A newly constructed 6,000 square meter commercial complex that achieves full rainwater harvesting compliance within four months of completion is required to dedicate at least 15 percent of its rooftop area to native flora micro-habitats.'

Answer: Answer

Answer

True. The complex exceeds the 5,000 square meter threshold (triggering the 20% baseline requirement) and completes rainwater harvesting compliance within 4 months (satisfying the 'within six months' clause for a 5% reduction), resulting in a mandatory requirement of 15%.
The statement is logically True. The complex measures 6,000 square meters, which triggers the baseline 20% rooftop greenery rule for structures over 5,000 square meters. Achieving rainwater harvesting compliance within 4 months meets the 'within six months' clause, granting a 5% reduction and lowering the required minimum to 15%.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the applicability of the primary policy threshold based on complex size.
The complex is 6,000 square meters, exceeding the 5,000 square meter threshold, making the initial baseline greenery requirement 20%.
The passage establishes size criteria for policy inclusion.
2
Check compliance timeframe for the reduction incentive.
Four months is less than six months, fulfilling the 'within six months' condition to receive the 5% reduction.
Evaluating conditional policy incentive qualifications.
3
Calculate the final mandatory percentage requirement.
20% baseline minus 5% deduction equals 15% required area. The statement is verified as True.
Deducting the precise requirement based strictly on passage premises.
