Zorluk: OrtaInference and Logical Deduction

Read the following passage carefully:

Under the 2026 Sustainable Agricultural Logistics Framework, state-funded cold-storage facilities operate under a dual-tariff subsidy structure designed to minimize post-harvest losses. Agricultural cooperatives storing perishable horticultural crops receive a 50% operational electricity tariff rebate provided that at least 80% of their total monthly stored volume consists of produce sourced directly from registered smallholder farmers cultivating less than two hectares of land. However, the framework stipulates a mandatory environmental compliance clause: if a cooperative utilizes conventional grid-powered refrigeration without integrating supplementary solar-thermal pre-cooling units, its maximum eligible tariff rebate is automatically capped at 25%, irrespective of its smallholder sourcing percentage. Recent state audit reports indicated that during the last fiscal year, all participating cooperatives in the eastern agricultural zone successfully met the 80% smallholder sourcing threshold. Nevertheless, none of the cold-storage facilities operating within the eastern zone had installed integrated solar-thermal pre-cooling units.

Based strictly on the information provided in the passage above, which of the following statements must be logically true regarding the participating cooperatives in the eastern agricultural zone during the last fiscal year?

  1. None of the participating cooperatives in the eastern agricultural zone were eligible for the 50% operational tariff rebate during the last fiscal year.Cevap
  2. B
    The participating cooperatives in the eastern agricultural zone were denied all tariff rebates due to non-compliance with the environmental clause.
  3. C
    The state ministry will revoke the operating licenses of cold-storage facilities in the eastern zone for failing to adopt renewable energy units.
  4. D
    Smallholder farmers in the eastern agricultural zone experienced severe crop wastage because the local cooperatives lacked solar-thermal pre-cooling infrastructure.

Cevap

None of the participating cooperatives in the eastern agricultural zone were eligible for the 50% operational tariff rebate during the last fiscal year.
The correct answer logically follows from the premises. A 50% rebate requires fulfilling the smallholder sourcing mandate alongside integrating solar-thermal pre-cooling units. Without solar-thermal units, the rebate is reduced to 25%. Since zero facilities in the eastern zone had these solar units, none could legally qualify for the 50% rebate tier.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the conditions required for receiving the 50% tariff rebate from the passage.
To receive a 50% rebate, a cooperative must achieve at least 80% smallholder sourcing AND integrate solar-thermal pre-cooling units (otherwise capped at 25%).
Establishing conditional requirements is essential for evaluating logical eligibility.
2
Analyze the reported facts regarding the eastern agricultural zone.
Eastern zone cooperatives met the 80% smallholder threshold, but zero facilities had installed solar-thermal pre-cooling units.
Comparing given regional facts against policy conditions allows valid deduction.
3
Deduce the mandatory logical outcome.
Because no facility in the eastern zone satisfied the solar-thermal requirement, their maximum rebate was capped at 25%, making all of them ineligible for the 50% rebate.
This conclusion strictly follows from the stated rules without adding external information.
