India's economic footprint, given its population, still remains small compared to the US, the European Union or China. It has much to learn from other economies, yet must implement solutions that fit its unique circumstances. India especially needs an effective long-term regulatory system based on collaboration rather than the ' current top-down approach. Regulations seek desirable outcomes yet are repeatedly used as political tools to push one agenda or another. Often, regulations fail to consider impacts on jobs and economic growth — or less restrictive alternatives. Regulations may be used to protect local markets at the expense of more widely shared prosperity in the future. Additionally, regulations inevitably result in numerous unintended consequences. In today's hyper competitive global economy, regulations need to be viewed as "weapons" that seek cost-justified social and environmental benefits while improving the economic well-being of most citizens. Which one of the following is the most logical, rational and crucial inference that can be derived from the above passage ?54
A better regulatory system will help India achieve the size of economy appropriate to its population
In a competitive global economy, India must use regulations strategically.
Regulations in India do not favour its integration with today's hyper competitive global economy.
Job creation and economic growth should be dominant considerations in developing India's regulatory system.
The correct answer is (a). Option (c) isn't the primary inference being drawn; it's simply one of the discussed issues. Similarly, option (d) is another issue discussed but not the main inference. Option (b) is close to being the most logical inference, but (a) is better. Why? The passage initially focuses on India's economic size, then delves into the regulatory system's problems. Therefore, (a) is preferable to (b).
