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

Answer: D

Explanation

The statement only provides information about India being the largest *producer* of milk. It does not offer any details regarding domestic consumption, demand, or international trade (exports or imports).

– **Conclusion I: India is the world’s largest exporter of milk.** Being the largest producer does not automatically imply being the largest exporter. A country might have high domestic consumption, leaving little surplus for export, or its milk might not be competitive in international markets. Thus, this conclusion does not necessarily follow.
– **Conclusion II: India does not import milk.** Similarly, high production does not guarantee zero imports. If domestic demand exceeds production, or if specific types of milk or dairy products are imported to meet niche demands, India could still be an importer. Thus, this conclusion also does not necessarily follow.

Without additional information on domestic consumption, export policies, or trade balances, neither conclusion can be logically derived from the given statement. This question assesses the ability to draw conclusions strictly based on provided information, avoiding external knowledge or assumptions.
