Which of the following can be logically inferred from the statement above?

The Sunni Waqf Board on Friday urged the Supreme Court not to allow the Centre or the Uttar Pradesh government to take partisan sides in the Ayodhya title suit. The UP government cannot go back on its neutrality, senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan told a three-judge bench headed by CJI Dipak Misra. Dhavan was alluding to the fact that the UP government had maintained its silence on the issue during the earlier state regimes. Which of the following can be logically inferred from the statement above? Correct Answer None can be inferred.

The correct answer is option 5, i.e. None can be inferred.

Option 1 can be rejected as it deals with the past and the history of the Masjid and no information of any sort regarding it is mentioned in the above statement.

Option 2 can be rejected as we cannot claim with surety that the ‘earlier ruling’ (against which Dhavan has urged) was prejudiced.

Option 3 can be rejected as it is very generic and does not fit the context appropriately and covers many major aspects and is not specific to the present case.

Option 4 can also be discarded as it introduces independent facts and takes back to the case of 2010, regarding which no information has been provided.

Since, all of the statements mentioned are irrelevant with the given context and can be rejected thus, the most appropriate answer is option 5.
