Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: Only conclusion II follows.
Reasoning:
From the time-related statement: Rahul advises she should travel by air to reach her destination earlier. This directly implies air travel is faster, so rail transport takes longer. Therefore conclusion II follows.
From the cost-related statement: Rahul says she can save money by availing discounts offered by airlines. This indicates possible savings in that situation but does not establish the general conditional that whenever airlines offer discounts air travel is cheaper than train. The information is insufficient to conclude the universal statement in conclusion I.
Hence only conclusion II logically follows from the given information.
