Question and options
Directions: A statement is given, followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given statement to be true even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statement, disregarding commonly known facts.
Statement: Domestic demand has been increasing faster than the production of indigenous crude oil.
Conclusion I: Deficiency demand will have to be met by import.
Conclusion II: There is no need to cut domestic demand of crude oil.
Conclusion I: Deficiency demand will have to be met by import.
Conclusion II: There is no need to cut domestic demand of crude oil.
- Only conclusion I follows
- Only conclusion II follows
- Both conclusions I and II follow
- Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - Only conclusion I follows
If domestic demand grows faster than indigenous production, the shortfall must be made up by imports, so I follows. Nothing in the statement supports saying there is no need to cut demand, so II does not follow. Only I.
