The average family income in the metros has increased today as compared to earlier, as in most families these days husbands and wives both are working.Which of the following inferences cannot be drawn from the above statement?
Correct Option: 1
1. Wives earn more than their husbands today - This inference CANNOT be drawn from the statement, as it is nowhere mentioned about who is earning more than the other, just the fact that their total family income has increased. 2. It was less prevalent for the spouse to work earlier than today - "as in most families these days husbands and wives both are working." This suggests than previously, one spouse was usually not working. 3. The family income level was lower a few years ago - "The average family income in the metros has increased today" suggests that it was lower a few years ago. 4. More spouses are working, which includes both, husbands and wives, as compared to those of the last few years, thus this inference can be drawn too.
