The Government will not increase the price of the diesel even after the imminent spurt in the international oil prices.

Conclusions:
Before this amendment, children below 14 years were employed to work in factory or mine.
The employers must now abide by this amendment to the Constitution.
The statement mentions that after the amendment, no child below 14 years will be engaged in hazardous employment. This means that before the amendment, the practice of employing children below 14 years was in vogue. This in turn means that employers will have to abide by the amendment. So, both I and II follow.
Statements: It has been decided by the Government to withdraw 33% of the subsidy on cooking gas from the beginning of next month. - A spokesman of the Government.
Conclusions:
People now no more desire or need such subsidy from Government as they can afford increased price of the cooking gas.
The price of the cooking gas will increase at least by 33% from the next month.
The decision to withdraw subsidy has clearly been taken to compensate for the loss and not because people can now afford to pay more for cooking gas. So, I does not follow. Also, the statement talks of withdrawing 33% of the prevailing subsidy and not of reducing 33% of the actual price. So, II also does not follow.
