Statement: By 2005 to achieve 70% literacy, a new scheme has been started on 2/5/2001. Conclusions: I. On 2/5/2001 literacy is less than 70%. II. This new scheme would be completed by 2005. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Neither conclusion follows. The statement sets a target to achieve 70% literacy by 2005, but the current literacy rate is not explicitly stated (it could already be 70% or higher, aiming to maintain). Conclusion II is not stated; the scheme started on that date, but its completion date is not mentioned.
