    A situation is given followed by two conclusions I and II. Read the situation and both the conclusions carefully and select the correct answer.

    1. ANeither I nor II can be concluded.
    2. BOnly II can be concluded.
    3. COnly I can be concluded.
    4. DBoth I and II can be concluded.
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    Conclusion I assumes the falling employment still leaves enough potters for equal market contribution, but the situation gives no basis for that forward assurance, so it cannot be concluded. Conclusion II blames a drop in local demand, yet the passage speaks only of world market share and employment and says nothing about domestic demand, so it cannot be concluded either. Neither conclusion follows.
