Statement:
Productivity of Indian agriculture is very low.
Conclusions:
I. Indian agriculture is largely dependent on timely rains
II. Indian farmers have not introduced latest technology into the system
if conclusion I follows
if conclusion II follows
if neither conclusion follows
if both conclusions follow
if both conclusions follow
Solution
Conclusion I: The low productivity of Indian agriculture can often be attributed to the reliance on natural factors like rainfall, which suggests that Indian agriculture may be heavily dependent on timely rains. So, Conclusion I follows.
Conclusion II: The low productivity may also be due to a lack of modern technology in farming practices, implying that Indian farmers might not have introduced the latest technology. Therefore, Conclusion II also follows.The correct option is (D): if both conclusions follow
