Solution

From the statement, it implies that the sea transportation is cheaper than road transportation only in respect of route between Bombay and Jafra. We cannot generalise that sea transportation is cheaper in all the cases.
So, conclusion I does not follow.
Since the statement talks about saving the fuel, fuel must be saved.
So, conclusion II follows.
