Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer :

Statements : The Minister questioned the utility of the space research programme and suggested its replacement by other areas of felt national needs.

Conclusions :
I. Exploring the space does not contribute to critical national needs.
II. Research should be oriented to national needs.
