Solution

The conclusions drawn from the statement are not necessarily valid.

Conclusion I: The statement does not suggest that methods should be devised to increase the readership of newspapers. It simply states a fact about the decline in readership due to increased television viewing. Whether or not action should be taken to increase readership is not addressed in the statement.

Conclusion II: The statement does not suggest that a team of experts should be sent to other countries to study the impact of TV on the readership of newspapers. The statement only discusses the situation in urban India, and does not imply that the same conditions exist in other countries or that such a study would be beneficial.

Therefore, neither of the conclusions necessarily follow from the statement.
