Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement. Give answer
-
Statement:
The population will cross the 100-crore mark shortly. Though we have made tremendous progress in almost all fields, an equally fast growth in population has nullified the achievement.
Conclusions :
I. Population plays an important role in the progress of a country.
II. If the growth of population is controlled, the nation will progress rapidly.
-
- if only conclusion I follows
- if only conclusion II follows
- if either I or II follows
- if neither I nor II follows, and
- if both I and II follow
Correct Option: B
I can 't be derived from the statement. We can't derive from this statement which factors influence the progress of a country. II follows because it is given in the statement that because of the rapid population growth rate, progress has been hindered.
