Question

Statement: About 50% of animal by products, hair, skin, horn etc. is edible protein. Indian chemists have developed a method of isolating 45% of this protein. They used an enzyme developed in Japan to break down soya protein.
Conclusions:
I. Indian have not been able to develop enzymes.
II. If an economically feasible process is developed there would be plenty of edible protein available.

A. Both conclusions I and II follow

B. Only conclusion II follows

C. Neither conclusion I nor II follows

D. Only conclusion I follows

Answer: Option C

Solution (By JKExamLibrary)

Conclusion I does not follow because using an enzyme developed in Japan does not imply Indians cannot develop enzymes. Conclusion II is not directly supported; the statement only mentions isolation of protein, not about economic feasibility leading to plenty of protein.
