Statements: Quality has a price tag. India is allocating lots of funds to education.

Conclusions:

  1. Quality of education in India would improve soon.
  2. Funding alone can enhance quality of education.
Only conclusion I follows
Only conclusion II follows
Either I or II follows
Neither I nor II follows
Both I and II follow

Statements: Although we have rating agencies like Crisil, ICRA, there is demand to have a separate rating agency for IT companies to protect investors.

Conclusions:

  1. Assessment of financial worth of IT companies calls for separate set of skills, insight and competencies.
  2. Now the investors investing in IT companies will get protection of their investment.
Only conclusion I follows
Only conclusion II follows
Either I or II follows
Neither I nor II follows
Both I and II follow
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The need for separate rating agency for IT companies clearly indicates that such assessment requires a separate set of skills. So, I follows. However, the statement indicates only the need or demand and neither the future course of action nor its after-effects can be judged. So, II does not follow.
