Statement: Reacting to news of farmer suicides, the Prime Minister stated that the government will make every possible effort for the upliftment of poor farmers and farmhands. Conclusions: I. Only farmers are attempting suicides due to poverty and debt. II. No serious efforts have been made till now for the upliftment of any section of society. Which option is correct?

Introduction / Context:
The premise reports an announcement of intended efforts in response to a serious problem. We must avoid over-reading the scope of the problem or the history of government action beyond what is stated.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• The statement mentions farmer suicides and pledges “every possible effort” for upliftment.
• It does not say only farmers are affected, nor does it evaluate all prior efforts across society.

Concept / Approach:
Conclusions must be necessary consequences of the given statement. Announcing future action neither restricts the problem to only one group nor condemns all past efforts universally.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
It is consistent with the statement that other groups may also be at risk, and that some prior efforts existed but were insufficient. Hence neither I nor II is forced.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Any option asserting I or II adds content not present in the premise.

Common Pitfalls:
Treating a policy promise as evidence of prior total neglect; assuming exclusivity where none is stated.

Final Answer:
If neither Conclusion I nor II follows.
