yes conclusion 2 can be challenged....people may not have ample spare time to got to the cinema halls to watch movies....for them to watch the films at home using the videos is easier....so i think only conclusion one should be followed

I agree with the comments above. II does not follow "beyond reasonable doubt" from the statement, because it is easy to find other likely explanations.
In fact I think the whole question is vague, because the statement could also be a result of cinema halls recently closing down, offering no alternative for people who want to watch videos. This could cause video libraries to flourish without an apparent "video craze". I think this is too circumstantial to be called logic, even though it's a likely explanation.

Craze: To cause to become mentally deranged or obsessed; make insane. Seems to be a bit of a leap to say that people have a "video craze. ".

Second conclusion seems to be vague as the statement is completely different from what it says.

Why E?
There is nothing said about the prices of the library and for example, it could be that People find it convenient to watch them anywhere they want like on phones rather going to cinemas. There could multiple reasons how can you be so specific on cost factor i.e. 2nd statement?
