Can someone explain this - if only 1 is correct, if either 1 or 2 is correct. Many times these answer statements are confusing.
If we want to say 2 is correct does it means if only 2 is correct. What does it mean 'if only' in the statement?
Please help me to get it.

Should it not be either I or II? As both the conclusions point to the same.

Dear Shankar
In the statement ,it is not specified anywhere that "Govt has appointed bureaucrats on spoilled institutions"
financial institutions as spoilled only after appointing bureaucrats.
