Question
The Sahariyas are members of an indigenous tribe which
has for centuries occupied an area now located partly within the state of Rajasthan and partly within the state of Gujarat. In the Sahariyas who live in what is now part of Rajasthan, the rate of diabetes is extremely high in comparison with the rate in people in general; 44 percent of the Sahariyas in Rajasthan are currently experiencing diabetes. As the Sahariyas in Rajasthan tend to consume large amounts of heavily processed foods, their high rate of diabetes must result from their dietary choices. Which of the following, if true, would provide further evidence supporting the above conclusion?   ÂSolution
As per the argument, out of the Sahariyas who live in Rajasthan and Gujarat, those who live in Rajasthan have been experiencing a high rate of diabetes among the tribesmen as a result of consuming large amounts of heavily processed foods. This fact is best supported by option (e), which says that in the Sahariyas who live in Gujrat, who consume a traditional diet that includes no heavily processed foods, the rate of diabetes is 10 percent. This means processed food in the diet is an important factor affecting the incidence of diabetes in this tribe. Thus, option (e) is the right answer.
