In the question, one statement is given, followed by two conclusions, I and II. You have to consider the statement to be true even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follows from the given statements.
Statement: Domestic demand has been increasing faster than the production of wheat.
Conclusion I: Domestic demand must be reduced.
Conclusion II: We should import wheat.
- AOnly conclusion I follows
- BOnly conclusion II follows
- CBoth I and II follow
- DNeither I nor II follows
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The statement simply mentions a fact: demand is increasing faster than production.
* Conclusion I suggests reducing demand, which is a course of action/remedy, not a direct logical conclusion derived from the statement.
* Conclusion II suggests importing wheat, which is also an action or measure to overcome the deficit, not a necessary logical conclusion that must follow from the statement alone.
Since neither conclusion logically and directly follows solely from the given statement as an absolute fact, neither follows.
