Q1:

Statements: The percentage of the national income shared by the top 10 per cent of households in India is 35. Conclusions:
  1. When an economy grows fast, concentration of wealth in certain pockets of population takes place.
  2. The national income is unevenly distributed in India.

A Only conclusion I follows

B Only conclusion II follows

C Either I or II follows

D Neither I nor II follows

E Both I and II follow

ANS:B - Only conclusion II follows
