Question and options

Direction: Read the following passage and decide whether the given statement is definitely true, probably true, definitely false, or cannot be judged because the data are inadequate:
Indian granite industry is in peril in the absence of a uniform policy from the State Governments, despite the thrust given by liberalisation policies of the Union Government in the last two years. Compared to the remarkable progress in the field during the last three years, the absence of matching policies by State Governments had put granite quarry owners and others involved in the industry on the verge of collapse in the international market. The policies differed from state to state, had created problems as far as royalty, dead rent and duration of lease were concerned.

The policies of the State Governments regarding the granite industry are not uniform across states.
