Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: If Conclusion I follows

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The statement explicitly links the need for national integration to India’s internal diversities. In statement–conclusion items, we determine which conclusions are logically compelled by what is stated—not by external knowledge or opinions.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Premise: “National integration is necessary because there are diversities in India.”
  • “Diversities” encompasses culture, languages, and socio-economic differences by ordinary usage.
  • No claim is made that India is currently disintegrated; only that integration is necessary.


Concept / Approach:
If integration is needed “because there are diversities,” it follows that such diversities exist (Conclusion 1). However, the premise does not assert that the nation is disintegrated now; it argues for integration to maintain/strengthen unity. Conclusion 2 therefore overreaches.


Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Map cause → effect: diversity → need for integration.2) From “need,” infer presence of diversity (supports 1).3) Reject “disintegrated nation” (2) as it is not stated or entailed.


Verification / Alternative check:
A nation can be unified yet still need integration efforts due to persistent diversity; hence 2 is not necessary.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
2 adds a negative status claim; “neither” ignores the clear implication of diversity; “both” doubles the error.


Common Pitfalls:
Equating “need for integration” with “already disintegrated.”


Final Answer:
Conclusion I follows.
