Question:

Find the statement which is necessarily true according to the given information:

The Asatra Vriksh is an evergreen tree that grows in the Nilgiris. The Asatra Vriksh has a fleshy, poisonous fruit. Recently, Purol, a substance found in the bark of the Asatra Vriksh, was discovered to be a promising new antidepressant drug.

Explanation:

Option 1 is incorrect as the passage clearly mentions that the fruit of the tree is poisonous not Purol.
According to the passage, Purol only has anti-depressant properties. This eliminates option 2.
According to the passage, Purol is a “promising new drug”. This indicates that drugs treating depression existed prior to the discovery of Purol. This eliminates option 4.
Option 3 is necessarily true as according to the passage, “The Asatra Vriksha has a fleshy, poisonous fruit”.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
