Statement: Concerned over the slow progress of the Rs 54,000-crore National Highway Development project, the government is considering levying an additional cess on petrol and diesel to mop up about Rs 2000 crore annually for developing road infrastructure. Conclusions : I. Additional amount gained through levy annually will be helpful in boosting industrial growth. II. The National Highway Development Project is facing financial constraints.

Correct Answer: if only conclusion I follows

Explanation:

I follows because additional amount will lead to road infrastructure, which in turn will lead to industrial growth. II does not follow. Will this additional amount go to NHDP? Or will it be used for alternative road projects? If the statement had answered the formed question s 'Yes', than we could have concluded II with certainty.
