Question

Statement: The increasing population of our nation will lead to depletion of many essential resources.
Conclusions:
I. Population of our nation can be controlled.
II. The nation will not be able to provide a decent living to its citizens.

• A. If only conclusion I follows
• B. If only conclusion II follows
• C. If neither conclusion I nor II follows
• D. If both conclusions I and II follow

Hint:

Conclusions must follow logically from the statement—not based on external facts or assumptions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The statement discusses the effects of increasing population but doesn’t mention the possibility of controlling it (Conclusion I). However, if resources are depleted, it logically implies that providing a decent living would be difficult (Conclusion II).
