In 1908, the Party X came to power with an absolute majority, securing a 20% increase in parliamentary seats compared to the previous coalition government. Since assuming office, the new government has completed many unfinished pre-1908 projects. In order to uphold a positive perception among the public, the government intends to initiate new public projects and aims to complete them before 1913, potentially leading it to victory in the 1913 elections with undisputed majority. However, economists strongly refute this outcome, asserting that the government is being highly optimistic. They argue that given the current economic scenario in the country, the government's existing funds are extremely limited, making it almost unlikely that they can effectively support any of their ambitious projects to completion. Clearly, the economists analysis provides much substance for the Party X to revisit its plans.
Given the validity of the above information, the following statements are deemed as untrue except?
A. The biggest opposition party of the current ruling party had secured majority seats in the election just prior to 1908.
B. The funds available with the former government were insufficient to execute the projects during its tenure, which were later completed by government of Party X.
C. Had the projects been completed by the former government during its tenure, the government of Party X would not have been in power at present.
D. At least one of the new projects to be initiated by the government of Party X would not be completed before 1913, unless it diverts significant funds from its existing schemes or seeks assistance from the IMF.
E. Public's perception of a government is positively influenced by the government's ability to undertake a significant number of projects.
1908 , X 51% + (20% more seats than prev coal)
Comp unfnshd proj.
New proj before 1913 --->Conf building + Vitory in 13
Eco (Against) : Govt high optsmtc, lim funds, unlikely to support proj comp
Thus : X to revisit its plan.
(A) We do not have any information whether opposition had majority.
(B) We have no information about availibility of funds of previous Govt.
(C) Extreme, may be previous govt completed but what if they were involved in corruption and were disliked by public.
(E) Its not about undertaking (Starting) , its about undertaking and completion as well as discussed by the Economist.
Now for options (D) I admit , IMF part sounds out of scope, but check carefully once again -
At least one of the new projects to be initiated by the government of Party X would not be completed before 1913, - True , if it is falsified then there is no question about further discussion.
Unless it diverts significant funds from its existing schemes or
seeks assistance from the IMF. - Covers up/Provides solution how to reach the goal in line with the economists arguement.
Hence, Answer must be (D)
