Directions to Solve
In each question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.
Give answer:
- (A) If only conclusion I follows
- (B) If only conclusion II follows
- (C) If either I or II follows
- (D) If neither I nor II follows and
- (E) If both I and II follow.

Statements: About 50 per cent of the animal by-products - hair, skin, horns etc. is edible protein. American chemists have developed a method of isolating 45 per cent of this protein. They used an enzyme developed in Japan to break down soya protein.
Conclusions:
- Americans have not been able to develop enzymes.
- Animal by-products protein has the same composition as soya protein.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
That the American chemists used an enzyme developed in Japan, does not mean that Americans have not been able to develop enzymes. So, I does not follow. Also, nothing about the compositions of animal by products protein and soya protein is mentioned in the statement. So, II also does not follow.

As Same enzyme is used to break down the Soya and Animal Protien, this may be because of the similar composition.

I agree with dipinn and my answer was choosing choice A.

Enzymes are substrate specific, hence composition should be same.

If Americans could develop their own enzymes. Why would they use one made by Japan?

There is no need for reinventing the wheel. @Soham.

The Same enzyme is being used. So the protein must also same.

Answer should be E.
Since Americans have not discovered enzyme that's why they are using the Japanese enzyme. The protein composition remains same throughout Universally.
Since Americans have not discovered enzyme that's why they are using the Japanese enzyme. The protein composition remains same throughout Universally.

Answer should be E, as Americans are not able to develop the enzyme that's why they are importing it from Japan.
