By the late 1990s privatization was losing much of its earlier momentum, yet concerns
about infrastructure remained in many countries. It was at this time that PPPs began to

Private Partnerships', 2004, p 4].
Reason R :
The government has had an active policy in the last 25 years of building a positive
economic climate for the health care industry. Among these measures are lower direct
taxes; higher depreciation in medical equipment; Income tax exemptions for 5 years for
rural hospitals; custom duty exemptions for imported equipment that are lifesaving;
Income tax exemption for Health Insurance; and active engagement through publicly
financed health insurance which now covers almost 27 percent of the population.

Assertion :
There is no such thing as absolute 100% proof in science.

confidence, and so it is difficult to claim that science gives 100% proof.

The Assertion is wrong.

The Assertion is correct, and Reasoning 1 is the basis for it. (Correct

the development of the means of production. Thus, every distinct phase in human
civilization was characterized by its distinctive balance between death and birth rates
and a growth rate of population determined by the means to sustain the population".
