Statement: The Union Health Ministry has made Aadhaar a compulsory document for tuberculosis patients to avail treatment under the government's Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP). Which of the following could be the outcome of the given statement? (I) A person cannot take treatment for TB without an Aadhaar card. (II) Patients suffering from TB will be unable to get cash benefits under a central government scheme till they produce their Aadhaar card. (III) An individual eligible to receive the benefit under the scheme is hereby required to furnish proof of possession of an Aadhaar number or undergo Aadhaar authentication. (IV) The World Health Organization (WHO) recently said that the tuberculosis epidemic in India was "larger" than what had been previously estimated. A) Only II B) Only I and III C) Only II and III D) Only I

1. Only II
2. Only I and III
3. Only II and III
4. Only I

Correct answer: Only II and III

Solution

The statement supports that Aadhaar is required for availing benefits under the scheme, so II and III follow. It does not necessarily mean TB treatment is impossible without Aadhaar in all cases, so I is too strong. IV is unrelated to the given statement.
