In each question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true and on the basis of the information given in the statement, decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing.

Give answer

  • (D) If neither I nor II follows

81.

Statement: There has been an unprecedented increase in the number of requests for berths in most of the long distance trains during the current holiday season.

Courses of Action:

1. The railway authority should immediately increase the capacity in each of these trains by attaching additional coaches.

2. The people seeking accommodation should be advised to make their travel plan after the holiday.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Only I follows

Course 1 meets the demand where it arises, by adding coaches to the trains people want. Course 2 tells travellers to change their plans, which is advice rather than a step the railway can take, and the holiday is precisely when they wish to travel. Only I follows.

Statement: The Finance Minister submits his resignation a month before the new budget is to be presented in the Parliament.

Courses of Action:

1. The resignation should be accepted and another person should be appointed as the Finance Minister.

2. The resignation should not be accepted.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Only II follows

The budget is a month away and the Finance Minister has prepared it; a new appointee could not master it in the time. The sensible course is to defer the resignation until the budget has been presented. Only II follows.

Statement: A large number of people visiting India from country X have been tested positive for carrying viruses of a killer disease.

Courses of Action:

1. The government of India should immediately put a complete ban on people coming to India from country X including those Indians who are settled in country X.

2. The government of India should immediately set up detection centres at all its airports and seaports to identify and quarantine those who are tested positive.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Only II follows

Course 2 meets the danger without shutting anyone out unjustly: test arrivals at the ports and airports and quarantine those who carry the virus. Course 1 would bar every traveller, Indians included, which is both excessive and unenforceable. Only II follows.

Statement: There has been less than forty percent voter turnout in the recent assembly elections.

Courses of Action:

1. The election commission should cancel the entire election process as the votes cast are not adequate to represent people.

2. The election commission should take away the voting rights of those who did not exercise their rights.

Answer: D

Re-election would demand repeated expenses and following course II would reduce the voter base permanently. Instead, awareness should be created among the people to use their right to vote effectively. So, neither I nor II follows.

Statement: Most of the development plans develop in papers only.

Courses of Action:

1. The in-charges should be instructed to supervise the field-work regularly.

2. The supply of paper to such departments should be cut short.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Only I follows

Plans stay on paper because nobody sees that the work is done, so requiring the officers in charge to supervise it on the ground goes to the cause. Cutting the supply of paper is a joke rather than a remedy. Only I follows.

Statement: The vegetable traders feel that the prices of onion will again go up shortly in the State 'P'

Courses of Action:

1. The 'P' State Government should purchase and store sufficient quantity of onion in advance to control prices.

2. The 'F' State Government should make available network of fair price shops for the sale of onions during the period of shortage.

Answer: E

Correct answer: Both I and II follow

Both courses attack the expected rise in price. Buying and storing onions beforehand gives the government a stock to release, and fair-price shops put that stock within reach of ordinary buyers when the shortage comes. Both follow.

Statement: It is reported that though Vitamin E present in fresh fruits and vegetables is beneficial for human body, capsule Vitamin E does not have the same effect on human body.

Courses of Action:

1. The sale of capsule Vitamin E should be banned.

2. People should be encouraged to take fresh fruits and vegetables to meet the body's requirement of Vitamin E.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Only II follows

If the vitamin works in fresh fruit and vegetables and not in a capsule, the sensible course is to get people to eat the fruit and vegetables. Banning the capsule goes further than the finding warrants. Only II follows.

Statement: Youngsters are often found staring at obscene posters.

Courses of Action:

1. Children should be punished and penalized if they are found doing so.

2. Any display of such material should be banned

Answer: B

Correct answer: Only II follows

Course 2 removes the thing complained of: if such posters are not displayed, there is nothing to stare at. Course 1 would punish the young for looking at what has been put in front of them, which is to blame the wrong party. Only II follows.

Statement: One of the problems facing the food processing industry is the irregular supply of raw material. The producers of raw material are not getting a reasonable price.

Courses of Action:

1. The government should regulate the supply of raw material to other industries also.

2. The government should announce an attractive package to ensure regular supply of raw material for food processing industry.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Only II follows

The trouble is that growers are not paid enough to supply regularly, so an attractive package to secure that supply meets it squarely. Regulating what other industries receive does nothing about the price the producer gets. Only II follows.

Statement: The Committee has criticized the Institute for its failure to implement a dozen of regular programmes despite an increase in the staff strength and not drawing up a firm action plan for studies and research.

Courses of Action:

1. The broad objectives of the Institute should be redefined to implement a practical action plan.

2. The Institute should give a report on reasons for not having implemented the planned programmes.

Answer: E

The problem is that despite an increase in staff strength, the Institute has failed in its objective of implementing its plan. So, either there should be reasons for the lackening or the plans are a failure and must be revised for practical implementation. Thus, both the courses follow.
