The price of petrol has increased globally; hence, inflation in the country will rise.
Conclusions:

II. The country imports petrol from the global market.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Only conclusion II follows
B. Neither I nor II follows
C. Only conclusion I follows
D. Both I and II follow
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
