Statement: “The greatest need in India today is not sophisticated gadgets but programmes that provide employment to large numbers.” Conclusions: I. There is an adequate number of sophisticated gadgets in India. II. Emphasis is being laid on procuring sophisticated gadgets.

Introduction / Context:The statement ranks priorities: mass employment programmes are a greater need than sophisticated gadgets. We must decide what necessarily follows about current adequacy or emphasis on gadgets.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Employment programmes are identified as the greatest need.
• No quantitative data about gadget availability or current policy emphasis is provided.

Concept / Approach:From “X is the greater need than Y,” you cannot infer that Y is adequate, nor that Y currently receives emphasis. Priority statements guide where focus should go, not what the present stock or present emphasis is.

Step-by-Step Solution:1) I: Adequacy of gadgets is unstated; employment can be top priority even if gadgets are scarce. Hence I does not follow.2) II: The statement recommends employment focus but does not claim that current emphasis is actually on gadgets; thus II does not follow.

Verification / Alternative check:If the statement had said “despite heavy gadget spending, jobs are neglected,” II might follow. It does not say that.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:Only I/Only II/Either: inject information not provided.

Common Pitfalls:Confusing a priority recommendation with a description of present conditions.

Final Answer:if neither I nor II follow
