Conclusions:
(I) Indians have not been able to develop enzymes.
(II) If an economically feasible process is developed, there would be plenty of
edible protein available.
2. Statement: Since inequality is built in wherever there is development, there is a little that can be done to arrest it except at the cost of development itself.
Conclusions:
(I) To achieve development inequality should be allowed to
continue.
(II) Equality and development do not go together.
3. Statement: Recent researches have shown that pimples have their root cause within the liver.
Conclusions:
(I) The medication for pimples should be administered in the
liver.
(II) Creams requiring external application are of no use.
