• B. Only conclusion II follows
• C. Either I or II follows
• D. Neither I nor II follows
• E. Both I and II follow

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

Both I and II follow

The statement mentions that after the amendment, no child below 14 years will be engaged in hazardous employment. This means that before the amendment, the practice of employing children below 14 years was in vogue. This in turn means that employers will have to abide by the amendment. So, both I and II follow.
