6. Statements: National Aluminium Company has moved India from a position of shortage to self-sufficiency in the metal.
Conclusions:
Previously, India had to import aluminium.
With this speed, it can soon become a foreign exchange earner.
According to the statement, National Aluminium Company has moved India from a position of shortage in the past to self-sufficiency in the present. This means that previously, India had to import aluminium. So, I follows. Also, it can be deduced that if production increases at the same rate, India can export it in future. So, II also follows.
7. Statement: Footpaths of a busy road are crowded with vendors selling cheap items.
Courses of Action:
The help of police should be sought to drive them away.
Some space should be provided to them where they can earn their bread without blocking footpaths.
Crowding on footpaths is a great inconvenience for walkers. So, stern action needs to be taken to remove the vendors. But at the same time these people ought to be provided alternative means of livelihood. So, both the courses follow.
Clearly, the only remedy is to somehow attempt to change the habit. If transferred, the habit will create problem elsewhere. Also, it is no legal complaint to be referred to the Union. So, none of the courses follows.
