Direction: 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
-
Statement:
The pollution-related problems made the people of country X realise that while economic growth was important, environment conservation was also necessary.
Conclusions :
I. Initially, the people of country 'X' concentrated only on economic growth of the country.
II. Economic growth has been achieved at the cost of environmental balance.
-
- if only conclusion I follows
- if only conclusion II follows
- if either I or II follows
- if neither I nor II follows, and
- if both I and II follow
Correct Option: E
The worsening of pollution-related problems accompanied by economic growth confirms conclusion II . And this automatically confirms I. (This imbalance is only because of lack of lack of awareness of the people of the country X.)
