Course 2 meets the emergency: a medical team can treat the sick and check the spread. Course 1 would move whole villages, which is impracticable and would carry the infection elsewhere. Only II follows.

Statement: There is a substantial increase in the number of accidents causing deaths and severe injuries due to malfunctioning of the traffic signals.

Courses of Action:

1. The traffic police should immediately post traffic personnel at the junctions.

2. The signal system should immediately be repaired or replaced.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Either I or II follows

Both courses would stop the accidents, and either alone would serve: policemen at the junctions can direct traffic while the signals are out, and repairing or replacing the signals removes the fault altogether. Since one or the other would meet the case, the answer is either I or II.

1. India should stop sending players to the future Olympic Games.

2. Government should immediately set up an enquiry commission to find out the reason for India's dismal performance.

Course 2 goes to the cause, since poor results point to what is wrong with the preparation. Course 1 would withdraw from the Games altogether, which gives up rather than improves. Only II follows.

Courses of Action:

1.Police should be instructed for night patrolling.

2. The three persons should be set free and their movements should be carefully watched to nab the other criminals.

The police should at once be made cautious and put on high alert to prevent any untoward incident. Also, once caught, such criminals ought not to be released. They can be interrogated to detect other criminals. So, only I follows.

Statement: Majority of the students have failed in one paper in the first semester examination.

Courses of Action:

1. All those students who failed should be asked to drop out of the course.

2. The faculty teaching the paper should be asked to resign.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Neither I nor II follows

When most of a class fails one paper, the fault is unlikely to lie with the students individually, so course 1 punishes the wrong party. Course 2 leaps to the opposite extreme and demands resignations before anything has been examined. What is needed is an inquiry into the paper and the teaching. Neither follows.

Statement: Mr. X, an active member of the Union, often insults his superiors in the office with his rude behaviour.

Courses of Action:

1. He should be transferred to some other department.

2. The matter should be referred to the Union.

Answer: D

Clearly, the only remedy is to somehow attempt to change the habit. If transferred, the habit will create problem elsewhere. Also, it is no legal complaint to be referred to the Union. So, none of the courses follows.
