UPSC CSE 2024 · PYQ · Statement and Conclusion · easy

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?

  1. A.Only Conclusion-I follows
  2. B.Only Conclusion-II follows
  3. C.Both Conclusion-I and Conclusion-II follow
  4. D.Neither Conclusion-I nor Conclusion-II follows✓ Correct

Explanation

Being the largest producer does not imply being the largest exporter — a country may consume most of what it produces domestically (which India does). So Conclusion I doesn't follow. Similarly, being the largest producer does not preclude importing — a country can produce a lot and still import certain specialty milk products. So Conclusion II doesn't follow either. Neither conclusion logically follows from the statement.
