Only II follows.

Statement and Conclusion Analysis

The statement highlights a potential future problem: fuel scarcity due to the increasing consumption of petrol and diesel.

Conclusion I Evaluation

  • The statement only mentions the potential scarcity of petrol and diesel. It does not provide information about other energy sources or mandate a complete shift to a single alternative like electric vehicles. Therefore, concluding that there will be only electric vehicles in the future is an overstatement and not directly supported by the given information.

Conclusion II Evaluation

  • The statement identifies a problem (fuel scarcity). A logical response to a scarcity problem is to seek alternative solutions. Creating or developing other fuel options is a direct and reasonable approach to tackle the predicted scarcity. This conclusion logically follows from the premise of potential scarcity.

Final Deduction

Based on the analysis, only Conclusion II presents a logical deduction from the given statement regarding the potential consequences of increasing petrol and diesel consumption.
