Question

Statement: The Minister questioned the utility of the space research programme and suggested its replacement by other areas of felt national needs.

Conclusions:
I. Exploring the space does not contribute to critical national needs.
II. Research should be oriented to national needs.

• A. Only conclusion I follows
• 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

The correct option is E

Both I and II follow

Clearly, the statement stresses on the fact that heeding to national needs is much more important than space research programmes, which stray the concerned authorities from the former. So, both I and II follow.
