Statement — India has resources, favorable agro-climatic conditions, and a supportive policy environment, yet constraints prevent converting opportunities into high growth in agri-business.\nConclusions:\nI. India lacks adequate cold-storage and transport systems.\nII. There is poor linkage between farmers and industry.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The statement lists positives but blames unspecified “constraints” for underperformance. We must avoid inventing which constraints they are.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Positives: resources, climate, policy mood.
  • Problem: unnamed constraints.
  • No enumeration of cold chain gaps or industry linkages.


Concept / Approach:
Both conclusions propose specific bottlenecks, but the premise is non-specific. Without explicit mention, neither I nor II is compelled. They might be true in reality, yet logical validity demands textual support.


Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Identify the missing detail: which constraints? Not provided.2) Hence both proposed specifics are speculative → reject.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Any option crediting I or II imports outside knowledge.


Common Pitfalls:
Relying on general sector narratives to “fill in” unspecified constraints.


Final Answer:
Neither I nor II follows.
