Statements: National Aluminium Company has moved India from a position of shortage to self-sufficiency in the metal.
Conclusions:
- Previously, India had to import aluminium.
- With this speed, it can soon become a foreign exchange earner.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
According to the statement, National Aluminium Company has moved India from a position of shortage in the past to self-sufficiency in the present. This means that previously, India had to import aluminium. So, I follows. Also, it can be deduced that if production increases at the same rate, India can export it in future. So, II also follows.

If there was a shortage of aluminum, it wouldn't make sense they were importing aluminum. If they were receiving aluminum via importing it, would that not take care of the shortage. If one were to import excessive product to a country.
Because it was imported would not signify that country is in a shortage of that product. If India imported aluminum, I think it would be safer to say they fixed their shortage problem and in fact didn't have a shortage problem. If in fact they were importing aluminum to resolve that issue.

According to me, option D, Neither I nor II follows, should be the correct answer.
The claim that India can "soon become a foreign exchange earner" is speculative and cannot be definitively concluded from the given information.
Also, previously India had to import aluminium cannot be the only reason for the position of shortage in India, and cannot be deduced from the statement alone without additional details.

It is mentioned that "shortage". I means we have been imported in the past. Here we are importing from other countries that means other countries need not to import. So. Even if we increase our growth other countries need not to import. Option I is the correct answer.

It's written, India has become self-sufficient meaning earlier India was arranging for Aluminium from other sources i.e. from foreign countries. Also, it is written 'with this speed' and also 'can', so the conclusion 2nd also holds true. Hence both are correct.

A shortage is mentioned and no where it is mentioned we arranged for the shortage, and also (II) does not follow as it is just an assumption and nowhere the rate of production is mentioned.
Correct me, if I am wrong.

There was shortage of aluminum. So is it necessary that if we have a shortage of something in our country we import it? India can also choose not to import aluminum even though it has shortage of that metal?

Both conclusions are indeed assumptions based on the given statement.
The statement does not explicitly mention either of these conclusions. Therefore, the accurate answer is;
Neither I nor II follows.

As per the statement, option A can be the correct answer. I couldn't understand how Conclusion II can be considered since Foreign Exchange is not mentioned anywhere in the statement.

Is it necessary that shortage in production means importing of that thing. Secondly its only mentioned that production increased to self reliance. How can we conclude about export.

According to me, neither should be followed because there is a shortage but nowhere mentioned the govt imported or not also we cannot predict anything about the future.
