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.

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.

I would say both do not follow as the statement made no reference to trade or exchange as it only concentrated on availability.

Only I can be deduced here! The rate at which it increased isnt mentioned so II can't be deduced!

It must be neither. Because as statement is the king no outside knowlege is required. We don't know what happend in past and what will happen in future.

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.

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?

Nothing mentioned about surplus. It met only the condition of self sufficiency. So I should be the answer.

the RATE of growth was not mentioned in the statement. Therefrom The term "With this speed" makes conclusion II not follow.

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.

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.
