Statement:
The price of petrol has increased globally; hence, inflation in the country will rise.
Conclusions:
I. Petrol prices directly impact inflation in the country.
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)
The statement draws a direct cause-and-effect link between global petrol prices and domestic inflation, making Conclusion I valid. Furthermore, this link implies the country's economy is tied to global petrol prices, which logically implies it imports or relies on global petrol (Conclusion II).
