The question given below has four statements is followed by three conclusions numbered I, II, and III. You have to take the given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Give answer:

Statements:

In the question below, a set of four statements is given, followed by five answer options to categorise these statements as facts, inferences and judgments. Consider the statements and decide which of the choices is true.

J: Judgment: If it is an opinion or estimate or anticipation of common sense or intention.
I: Inference: If it is a logical conclusion or deduction about something, based on the knowledge of facts.
1. Global production of wheat is declining every year and grim days for India are imminent as there are more mouths to feed.
2. The potential problem is that even if Australia and USA remain favourable and the harvest is good, these two exporters may not have enough to hawk in the world market.
3. According to the latest USDA estimates, world production of wheat has dropped from 629 million tonnes in 2004-05 to 593 million of tonnes in 2006-07.
4. The escalation of food-grain prices is likely to create problems for the farmers who thrive on animal farming.

Each of these questions has a statement followed by two conclusions numbered as I and II. Consider the statement and the following conclusions. Decide which of the conclusions follows from the statement. Mark answer as

1. If neither conclusion I nor II follows
2. If conclusion II follows
3. If conclusion I follows
4. If both conclusions follow
5. If either I or II follows

Statement: Cardiac myopathy is marked by an increase in the size of the heart and a decrease in the efficiency of pumping.

Conclusions:

Only K is F.
All F and K are Z
Conclusions :
I. Some F and K are Z.
II. Some Z are not F and K.

Statement: A country X has no national gun act. There is no firearm control and licensing mechanism in the country. The public is free to acquire guns. The people require arms for their safety. This has ultimately increased the crime rate considerably in the country.
