From the given statements, we find out that people find new ways of evading taxes when the taxes are raised and the new policy of the government will cause a raise in the taxes. So we can say that due to the new policy of the government, there will be an increase in the exercise of tax evasion which is stated in conclusion I. We cannot say whether people do or do not approve of the new policy so conclusion II cannot be drawn from these statements. Therefore, 1 is the right option.
