Statement: The car dealer found that there was a tremendous response for the new XYZ's car-booking with long queues of people complaining about the duration of business hours and arrangements.

Courses of Action:

1. People should make their arrangement of lunch and snacks while going for car XYZ's booking and be ready to spend several hours.

2. Arrangement should be made for more booking desks and increased business hours to serve more people in less time.

Answer: B

Seeing the tremendous response, the dealer must make suitable arrangements and deploy more personnel to take care of customers so that they don't have to wait excessively long for booking. So, only course II follows.

Statement: The State Government has decided to declare 'Kala Azar' as a notifiable disease under the Epidemics Act. Family members or neighbours of the patient are liable to be punished in case they did not inform the State authorities.

Courses of Action:

1. Efforts should be made to effectively implement the Act.

2. The cases of punishment should be propagated through mass media so that more people become aware of the stern actions.

Answer: E

Correct answer: Both I and II follow

Having made the disease notifiable, the government must see that the Act is enforced - course 1 - and making the penalties widely known is how people are brought to report cases in the first place, which is course 2. Both serve the purpose of the measure, so both follow.

Statement: The Chairman stressed the need for making education system more flexible and regretted that the curriculum has not been revised in keeping with the pace of the changes taking place.

Courses of Action:

1. Curriculum should be reviewed and revised periodically.

2. System of education should be made more flexible.

Correct answer: Both I and II follow

The Chairman named two failings: a curriculum left unrevised and a system that is not flexible enough. The two courses answer them one for one, so both follow.

Statement: The Central Bureau of Investigation receives the complaint of an officer taking bribe to do the duty he is supposed to.

Courses of Action:

1. CBI should try to catch the officer red-handed and then take a strict action against him.

2. CBI should wait for some more complaints about the officer to be sure about the matter.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Only I follows

Course 1 is the proper response to a complaint of bribery: catch the officer in the act, which both establishes the offence and permits action. Course 2 would let the practice continue while more complaints accumulate, which is no answer at all. Only I follows.

Statement: The Indian electronic component industry venturing into the West European markets faces tough competition from the Japanese.

Courses of Action:

1. India should search for other international markets for its products.

2. India should improve the quality of the electronic components to compete with the Japanese in capturing these markets.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Only II follows

Course 2 meets the competition where it stands: if Japanese goods are better, the answer is to improve one’s own. Course 1 abandons the market instead of competing in it, and the same competition would be met elsewhere. Only II follows.

Statement: Orissa and Andhra Pradesh have agreed in principle to set up a joint control board for better control, management and productivity of several inter-state multipurpose projects.

Courses of Action:

1. Other neighbouring states should set up such control boards.

2. The proposed control board should not be allowed to function as such joint boards are always ineffective

Answer: A

Correct answer: Only I follows

Course 1 is a sensible extension: if a joint board helps two states manage shared projects, others may do the same. Course 2 dismisses such boards as always ineffective, an assertion the statement gives no ground for and which would block the arrangement before it has been tried. Only I follows.

Statement: The Government has decided not to provide financial support to voluntary organisations from next Five Year Plan and has communicated that all such organisations should raise funds to meet their financial needs.

Courses of Action:

1. Voluntary organisations should collaborate with foreign agencies.

2. They should explore other sources of financial support

Answer: B

Correct answer: Only II follows

With government support ending, the organisations must look elsewhere for money, which is what course 2 says. Course 1 names one source only - foreign agencies - and foreign funding brings conditions of its own; it is neither the only nor the obvious step. Only II follows.

Statement: The availability of imported fruits has increased in the indigenous market and so the demand for indigenous fruits has been decreased.

Courses of Action:

1. To help the indigenous producers of fruits, the Government should impose high import duty on these fruits, even if these are not of good quality.

2. The fruit vendors should stop selling imported fruits. So that the demand for indigenous fruits would be increased.

Answer: D

The ideas suggested in both I and II represent unfair means to cut competition. The correct way would be to devise methods and techniques such that the indigenous producers could produce better quality fruits and make them available in the market at prices comparable with those of the imported ones. Hence, neither I nor II follows.

Statement: There has been an unprecedented increase in the number of successful candidates in this year's School Leaving Certificate Examination.

Courses of Action:

1. The government should make arrangements to increase number of seats of intermediate courses in existing colleges.

2. The government should take active steps to open new colleges to accommodate all these successful candidates.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Only I follows

More candidates have passed than usual, so places must be found for them at once - and adding seats in the colleges that already exist is the quick way to do it. Opening new colleges takes years and cannot answer this year’s need. Only I follows.

Statement: On an average, about twenty people are run over by trains and die every day while crossing the railway tracks through the level crossing.

Courses of Action:

1. The railway authorities should be instructed to close all the level crossings.

2. Those who are found crossing the tracks, when the gates are closed, should be fined heavily

Answer: B

Correct answer: Only II follows

Course 2 attacks the behaviour that causes the deaths: people cross where they should not, and penalising them deters it. Course 1 would close every level crossing, which would cut roads across the country and is not practicable. Only II follows.
