Income distribution – top decile share: “The top 10% of Indian households receive 35% of national income.” Identify which conclusions are logically supported about inequality and growth-related concentration.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows

Explanation:

Given data

  • Fact: Top 10% households share 35% of national income.
  • Conclusion I: Fast growth causes concentration of wealth.
  • Conclusion II: National income is unevenly distributed in India.

Concept/Approach
The premise directly concerns current distribution, not growth dynamics.


Step-by-step evaluation
1) Conclusion I introduces a causal claim about 'when an economy grows fast ...'. The premise does not mention growth rates—thus I does not follow.2) A 35% share to the top 10% is a clear indicator of uneven distribution ⇒ Conclusion II follows.


Final Answer
Only conclusion II follows.
