Statement: Residues of extremely harmful pesticides have been found in popular brands of bottled water and this is a major jolt for the water industry, which is worth Rs 1000 crore annually and which is growing at 40 per cent as more and more Indians look for safe drinking. Conclusions : I. The presence of pesticides in bottled water has huge implications for public health. II. Drinking water is harmful for human beings.

Correct Answer: if only conclusion I follows

Explanation:

I follows. That is why it is a jolt to the water industry. The presence of pesticides undermines the very purpose of ''safe drinking''. II does not follow because the statement talks only about ''bottled water'', not drinking water in general.
