Reading ComprehensionRead the passage carefully and answer the question that follows: Financial inclusion remains a critical challenge for developing economies. In India, despite government initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, a significant portion of the rural population still lacks access to formal banking services. The barriers include physical distance to bank branches, low financial literacy, and complex documentation requirements. Microfinance institutions have emerged as important intermediaries, providing small loans to underserved communities. These institutions operate on a trust-based model, often requiring minimal paperwork and offering flexible repayment schedules. Their success demonstrates that tailored financial products can effectively address the needs of the economically disadvantaged. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

Takeaways for prep planning
- Speed is the differentiator at Prelims — most candidates know the content; clearing the cutoff is about attempting ~25-28 questions per section in 20 minutes.
- Puzzles and DI together carry ~30% of the paper and reward consistent daily practice more than last-mile cramming.
- Sectional cutoffs mean you can't trade off — a candidate strong only in Quant will fail the Reasoning cutoff. Balanced section-wise prep is mandatory.
