Statement:
According to the Central Statistical Organisation's advance estimates, India's gross domestic product will grow by just 4.4 per cent in 2002-03, as against 5.6 per cent in the last financial year. The economy has been dragged down by agriculture.
Conclusions :
I. Agriculture has showed negative growth, which failed to match last year's robust growth.
II. The news will be a bad news for those who are looking forward to an economic recovery.
-
- 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: B
The sentence ''the economy has been dragged down by agriculture'' does not necessarily imply that agriculture showed negative growth . Possibility of nominal growth can't be ruled out. Hence, I does not follow.
