Question

Statement: Since 2018, the bulk of India's population has comprised young working people's much more than the dependent population (children below 5 and people above 65). This trend will continue for the next 55 years.
Courses of Action:
I. There will be a huge increase in the GDP of the country.
II. According to a report by UNFPA, this population will be able to contribute effectively if good health facilities, education and proper infrastructure are provided to the whole population.

• A. Only I follow
• B. Only II follow
• C. Both I and II follow
• D. Neither I nor II follow

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Reasoning:
- I is an assertion/prediction not logically compelled by the statement. A youthful demographic (\textit{demographic dividend}) can raise GDP only if complementary policies and human-capital investments exist. So I does not necessarily follow.
- II is a conditional, actionable policy: with proper health, education, and infrastructure, the youth bulge can contribute effectively. This directly aligns with how a demographic dividend is realized. Hence II follows.
\[ \boxed{\text{Only II follows}} \]
