Read this question in English

A Statement is given followed by two Conclusions numbered I and II. Consider the Statement and the Conclusions.

Statement. India is the world’s largest producer of milk.

Conclusion–I. India is the world’s largest exporter of milk.

Conclusion–II. India does not import milk.

Which one of the following is correct?

(a) Only Conclusion–I follows · (b) Only Conclusion–II follows · (c) Both Conclusion–I and Conclusion–II follow · (d) Neither Conclusion–I nor Conclusion–II follows

उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English

Answer: (d) न तो निष्कर्ष–I और न ही निष्कर्ष–II निकलता है

Being the largest producer says nothing about exports or imports: a country may consume most of what it produces, and may still import some. Neither conclusion follows from the statement.

  • ✗ I Large production does not mean large exports; home consumption may take most of it. The statement gives no trade data.
  • ✗ II Producing the most does not rule out importing, for example particular milk products or to meet demand in some years.

Remember · A conclusion must follow from the statement alone; production figures never settle questions of trade.
