Correct Answer: If only II follows


Solution : Given:
Statement:
National Expressway – A is the widest expressway and is used by a few people. When people find an empty and wide road, people drive at high speed, which leads to accidents.

Inference:
I. All accidents happen due to overspeeding – In the above-given statement, it is not mentioned whether all or some accidents happen due to overspeeding. Thus, this inference does not follow.
II. High speed increases the risk of accidents – In the above-given statement, it is mentioned that when people drive at high speed it leads to accidents. Thus, this inference follows.

So, only II follows. Hence, the third option is correct.
