Question

Logical Reasoning Question on Statements and Conclusions

In this question, a statement is given, followed by two conclusions.
Statement: Domestic demand has been increasing faster than the production of indigenous crude oil.
Conclusions.
1. Crude oil must be imported.
II. Domestic demand must be reduced.

A

If only conclusion I follows.

B

If only conclusion II follows.

C

If either conclusion I lows.

D

If neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Answer

If either conclusion I lows.

Explanation

Solution

The statement indicates a growing gap between the demand and supply of crude oil. To address this, there are two primary options:

  • Increase supply: This can be achieved by importing crude oil to meet the excess demand.

  • Decrease demand: Reducing domestic consumption can also help bridge the gap.

Both conclusions offer potential solutions to the problem outlined in the statement.
The correct answer is (C) : If either conclusion I lows
