Statements: India’s health policy states that there should be 200 beds per thousand population of a city but in Mumbai there are 150 beds per thousand population.

Conclusions:

I. Mumbai’s health system is not taking health policy of India seriously → False

As, there is shortage of 50 beds per thousand population but there is no reason mentioned in the paragraph. So, we cannot say that if Mumbai state is taking the health policy serious or not.

II. The funds for the health policy is not adequate → False

Nothing is mentioned about the funds in the paragraph.

Hence, neither conclusion I nor II follows.
