Inferences: I: Indian government has failed in its efforts to contain its increasing population. II: Increase in population will make India as strong as China. Correct Answer <p>Only inference I follows</p>

Answer: Option 1. Only inference I follows.

With such a tremendously increasing population, the government must have tried to control the situation. But the stats show that it has failed to do so. An increase in population need not mean that the country will become stronger; rather it may get drained of all its resources. So only I follows.
