Statement:\nThe Chief Minister of state X inaugurated a National Steel Institute to conduct training and research to help the steel industry face international competition.\n\nConclusions:\nI. To face international competition, acquiring new techniques and advanced training is imperative.\nII. The institute will help professionals develop techniques to improve quality and compete in global markets.

Introduction / Context:
The statement ties the institute’s purpose (training and research) to a strategic goal (facing international competition). It invites two natural inferences: the necessity of capability building (I) and the institute’s functional contribution (II). We must check both for logical support from the text.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• An institute is created for training and research.
• Declared goal: help the steel industry face international competition.
• “Help” implies enabling better techniques, skills, and output quality.

Concept / Approach:
Conclusion I is essentially a restatement of the rationale: if one sets up training/research to meet competition, then training/techniques are considered necessary means. Conclusion II specifies the beneficial pathways—skill and technique development leading to quality and competitiveness—which is exactly what such an institute is purposed to deliver.

Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Purpose alignment: training/research → competitive readiness → supports I.2) Output implications: techniques and quality improvements are the expected outcomes → supports II.

Verification / Alternative check:
If training and research were not useful for competition, inaugurating such an institute with that justification would be incoherent; therefore both conclusions are embedded in the stated purpose.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Picking only I or only II ignores one half of the explicit design logic; “neither” contradicts the statement’s purpose.

Common Pitfalls:
Under-reading institutional purpose statements as non-committal; here the linkage is explicit.

Final Answer:
If both I and II follow.
