Q1: Statements: This book 'Z' is the only book which focuses its attention to the problem of poverty in India between 1950 and 1980. Conclusions:
  1. There was no question of poverty before 1950.
  2. No other book deals with poverty in India during 1950 to 1980.

A Only conclusion I follows

B Only conclusion II follows

C Either I or II follows

D Neither I nor II follows
