Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: None of the conclusion follows.

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Two independent statements are provided: Central protection responsibility for “Indian museums,” and that “Victoria Memorial Hall” is national property. We must test conclusions that extend beyond those exact claims.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Central Government responsibility pertains to “Indian museums.”
  • Victoria Memorial Hall (a specific institution) is national property.
  • No explicit statement about Indian Museum’s ownership category or about all historical property is made.


Concept / Approach:
Conclusion I asserts that “Indian Museum” (a particular museum) is national property. That does not follow from (I), which states protection responsibility, not ownership category, and (II), which is about a different institution. Conclusion II generalizes protection to all “historical property,” which exceeds the scope “museums.”


Step-by-Step Solution:
1) I: Protection responsibility ≠ ownership status; and Victoria Memorial’s status does not imply the same for Indian Museum → does not follow.2) II: From “Central protects museums,” it does not follow that it protects all historical property; many historical assets are not museums → does not follow.


Verification / Alternative check:
If a statement had said “All national historical property is protected by the Center,” II could follow; it did not.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Only I/II” and “Both” overgeneralize. “None” respects the limited scope.


Common Pitfalls:
Confusing responsibility for a class (museums) with ownership; extrapolating to “all historical property.”


Final Answer:
None of the conclusion follows.
