• C. Either I or II follows
• D. Neither I nor II follows

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To solve the logical reasoning problem regarding the statement about television viewership and newspaper readership, we need to evaluate the conclusions based on the information provided. 

Statement	Prime age school-going children in urban India have become avid viewers of television, even without a TV at home, leading to a decline in newspaper readership.
Conclusion I	Method of increasing the readership of newspapers should be devised.
Conclusion II	A team of experts should be sent to study the impact of TV on newspaper readership.

To determine the correct conclusion, we examine whether they logically and necessarily follow from the statement:

• Conclusion I suggests a solution but is not a direct deduction from the statement as the statement merely describes a situation and does not imply a need for action.
• Conclusion II proposes a study but the statement does not indicate this is necessary. It's an external suggestion and not inherent in the information given.

Therefore, neither conclusion directly follows from the statement provided, making Neither I nor II follows the correct answer.
