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

  1. Statement:
    For over three decades the government of country X has been making its efforts to raise the per capita income of common people. Despite an intelligent team of ministry and expert bureaucrats, it has failed in its objective.
    Conclusions :
    I. It is strong willpower as well as dedication is more important than Knowledge and expertise.
    II. Without restricting the growth of population rate, improvement in per capita income is impossible.
    1. if only conclusion I follows
    2. if only conclusion II follows
    3. if either I or II follows
    4. if neither I nor II follows, and
    5. if both I and II follow
Correct Option: D

Failure of government in getting the objective does not necessarily mean that the government lacks strong will power. No clues about ''strong will power'' have been given in the statement. Hence, I does not follow. The statement does not say anything about the growth rate of population. Hence, II does not follow.
