Question

Non smokers who are victims of passive smoking have one third death rate as compared to smokers.

Options:

A . If the inference is definitely true

B . If the inference is probably true

C . If the data are inadequate

D . If the inference is probably false

E . If the inference is definitely false

Answer: Option D

True, we can't categorically refute the statement. But, according to the passage, the "one third" criterion applies to non smokers in general. Here we are asked to pass our verdict in the case of "non smokers who are victims of passive smoking". Now, passive smoking is also expected to contribute to death rate.
