Statement: National Aluminium Company has moved India from a position of shortage to self sufficiency in the metal.
Conclusion: I. Previously, India had to import aluminium.
Il. With this speed, it can soon become a foreign exchange earner.

Options

A. only I follows
B. only II follows
C. both I and II follow
D. either I or II follows,

Answer

C

Explanation

Both conclusions are correct. Shortage means that imports must have been made since aluminium is a metal which can.t be done without. If a movement from shortage to self-sufficiency can be achieved and .this rate. is also continued, then soon surplus could be reached. Hence, the second conclusion is also valid.
