EBoth Conclusions I and II follow
Answer
Correct Answer: Neither Conclusion I nor II follows
Explanation
Introduction / Context:The statement gives a single comparative claim: Solar has the largest sales among Indian-made TVs. It does not speak about how this was measured, whether exact volumes are known, or anything about production.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Comparative sales ranking: Solar is number one in sales.
- No numbers, methods, or production data are provided.
Concept / Approach:Conclusion 1: Knowing the top seller does not require that the precise volumes of all brands are known. Thus I does not follow. Conclusion 2: Sales leadership does not imply production leadership; inventory, exports, or unsold stock can break any naive linkage. Hence II does not follow.
Step-by-Step Solution:1) Separate “sales” from “production” metrics.2) Recognize that “largest” can be established via sampling/estimates without exact brand-wise volumes.3) Therefore, neither I nor II is compelled.
Verification / Alternative check:It is possible for a brand to lead sales with lower production if its sell-through is higher than competitors who overproduce.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:Accepting I or II adds claims never made; “both” doubles the error.
Common Pitfalls:Equating market rank with full data availability; conflating sales and production.
Final Answer:Neither Conclusion I nor II follows.
