1.

Only 1 follows.

2.

Only 2 follows.

3.

Both 1 and 2 follow.

4.

Neither 1 nor 2 follows.

5.

Either 1 or 2 follows.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 :

Only 1 follows.

Since higher educated people are entering into the teaching profession, the educational background of the teachers at present is obviously better than the teachers in the past. Owing to this, the quality of education would have improved (No information about the level of strictness is provided). Hence inference 2 is invalid.
