Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: Only conclusion II follows.
From the advice that Meera should travel by air to reach her destination early, we can infer that air travel takes less time than rail travel. This directly supports the conclusion that rail transport takes longer than air transport.
The statement about saving money by availing discounts offered by airlines only indicates that discounts can reduce her expense in that instance. It does not establish a general rule that whenever airlines offer discounts air travel is cheaper than rail travel, nor does it state that discounted air fares will always be lower than train fares.
Therefore, the time-related conclusion is supported by the given information, but the cost-related conditional conclusion is not. Hence only the conclusion that rail transport takes longer than air transport follows.
