Question

In this question, a statement is given, followed by two conclusions.
Statement: Domestic demand has been increasing faster than the production of indigenous crude oil.
Conclusions.
1. Crude oil must be imported.
II. Domestic demand must be reduced.

• A. If only conclusion I follows.
• B. If only conclusion II follows.
• C. If either conclusion I lows.
• D. If neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The statement indicates a growing gap between the demand and supply of crude oil. To address this, there are two primary options:

 * Increase supply: This can be achieved by importing crude oil to meet the excess demand.

 * Decrease demand:  Reducing domestic consumption can also help bridge the gap.

Both conclusions offer potential solutions to the problem outlined in the statement.
The correct answer is (C) : If either conclusion I lows
