Difficulty: EasyInference and Logical Deduction

Read the following passage carefully:

Under the 2026 State Rural Tele-Health Clinic Expansion Directive, all state-funded primary health centers operating in administrative districts with a population density below 150 persons per square kilometer are mandated to install and maintain automated remote diagnostic kiosks. The directive explicitly dictates that these kiosks must provide completely free consultation services for chronic hypertension and diabetes management to local residents. However, medical facilities located within urban municipal corporation boundaries, as well as health centers operating under public-private partnerships that record an annual operating turnover exceeding 50 million rupees, are strictly excluded from receiving state equipment subsidies under this policy. Furthermore, any participating rural health center that fails to transmit digitized patient diagnostic logs to the central state health portal within 24 hours following a patient consultation shall face immediate withholding of its state operational grant for the subsequent fiscal quarter.

Based strictly on the passage above, which of the following statements must logically be true regarding a health facility that receives state equipment subsidies under the 2026 Directive?

  1. The health facility is not located within an urban municipal corporation boundary.Answer
  2. B
    The health facility provides completely free consultation services for all acute and chronic medical conditions.
  3. C
    The health facility retains its operational grant even if diagnostic logs are uploaded 48 hours after patient consultations.
  4. D
    The health facility operates as a public-private partnership with an annual operating turnover of 60 million rupees.

Answer

The health facility is not located within an urban municipal corporation boundary.
The passage explicitly stipulates that facilities situated within urban municipal corporation boundaries are excluded from state equipment subsidies. Therefore, if a health center receives equipment subsidies under the directive, it must logically be true that it is not located within an urban municipal corporation boundary.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the passage condition for receiving state equipment subsidies.
The passage states that medical facilities within urban municipal corporation boundaries are strictly excluded from receiving equipment subsidies.
Establishing the explicit restriction defined in the directive.
2
Deduce the logical necessity for a facility that successfully receives the subsidy.
Because urban municipal facilities are barred from receiving subsidies, any facility that does receive a subsidy must necessarily be outside urban municipal corporation boundaries.
Applying direct contrapositive logical deduction based solely on the text.
