Question 131. Read the passage and answer the following questions:Not only the smoker, but individuals surrounding him/her can be harmed by tobacco smoke. Children are put further at a risk since they are three times more likely to smoke if their parents do.As far as smokers are concerned one out of every two smokers, who start at a young age and continue smoking throughout their lives, will ultimately be killed by a tobacco related illness. With prolonged smoking, smokers have a death rate about three times higher than non smokers at all ages.Stopping smoking decreases health risks associated with tobacco use. It can decrease the burden of diseases such as heart or respiratory diseases. There are clear health benefits including longer life, even for those who quit smoking at the age of 60 and above.Those smokers who start smoking regularly at a young age 3 are less likely to stop it.

Discuss Question

Answer: Option D. -> If the inference is probably false

The passage talks only about the chances of starting smoking being proportional to the fact that parents smoke. One can't say with conviction whether a similar relationship holds good in the case of giving up smoking. But a general idea of the passage suggests that such a relationship should hold good.

Question 133. Non smoking adults who surrounded smokers constantly are less likely to be harmed.

If the inference is definitely true
If the inference is probably true
If the data are inadequate
If the inference is probably false
If the inference is definitely false

Discuss Question

Answer: Option D. -> If the inference is probably false

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.
