Statements: National Aluminium Company has moved India from a position of shortage to self-sufficiency in the metal.

Conclusions:

  1. Previously, India had to import aluminium.
  2. With this speed, it can soon become a foreign exchange earner.
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:
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.

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.

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

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

According to me, Both 1&2 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.

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.

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.

Both the conclusions were assumptions.

There is no advice or result shown in the conclusion regards the statement.

So, the answer is D.
