Even I thought before that first one is implicit but they are saying conclusion and not assumption due to high prices the vegetables will become rare product not necessary.

But the people having money can buy it. I agree, so indeed. Conclusion 1 follows.

Vegetable prices are soaring all the time in Delhi. This not in anyway refer to the fact that people can't have them as the degree of price hike or the way its affecting society is not mentioned. Although as the price is hiking its becoming a rare commodity. So clearly option 1 only follows.

But the people having enough money can buy. So I think only 1st one follows.

Obviously first follows, why to breakup which vegetables. As per statement to be considered true then doesn't matter which vegetables so because of less supply and demand it rare commodity. But still available in market and those who affording can eat then so II doesn't follow.

Economically speaking, a lack of quantity drives up price. In fact logically reasoning can you think of a single other way in which prices would soar?
Producers of goods experience this in the market today. If the lobster harvest in Maine is too much, the market price bottoms out and no one makes any money.
Similarly if there is a shortage of supply prices soar.
It is highly likely that most economics majors will get this question wrong because to them, me, it is illogical.

Vegetables are becoming a rare commodity----may be because of increase in population
People cannot eat vegetables.-----can't be said because some people can afford to eat highly priced vegetables where some people can't so
I and II are both are doubtful statements

Actually I did give it a thought but it just hit me tht 'prices soaring' can b due to less production of veggies or maybe corruption. I have heard more than enuf cases on it. Whereas people can not eat also implies that they are suffering from some problem or some other thing of that sort. Diseases.
So D is correct!
So D is correct!
