Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: Neither I nor II follows.
Explanation: The statement notes that the growing popularity of Ayurvedic medicines in the West is evidence of India's glorious past. It does not provide any information about the popularity of Ayurvedic medicines in India or about the comparative popularity of allopathic medicines in India.
Conclusion I claims Ayurvedic medicines are not popular in India. The statement’s mention of popularity abroad does not imply unpopularity at home, so this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion II claims allopathic medicines are more popular in India. The statement gives no basis for comparing the two systems’ popularity within India, so this conclusion does not follow.
Therefore, neither conclusion follows from the given statement.
