Directions:

In each question below is given a statement followed by three courses of action numbered (A), (B) and (C). A course of action is a step or administrative decision to be taken for improvement, follow-up or further action in regard to the problem, policy, etc. On the basis of the information given in the statement, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing.

Question :1

  • Statement :
  • A large private bank has decided to retrench one-third of its employees in view of the huge losses incurred by it during the past three quarters.
  • Courses of action:
  • (A) The Govt should issue a notification to general public to immediately stop all transactions with the bank.
  • (B) The Govt should direct the bank to refrain from retrenching its employees.
  • (C) The Govt should ask the central bank of the country to initiate an enquiry into the bank's activities and submit its report.

Answer: (c)

(A) would be an extreme step.

(B) is not within the govt's purview.

(C) is advisable when there is retrenchment on such a large scale.

Question :2

  • Statement :
  • The school dropout rate in many districts in the state has increased sharply during the last few years as the parents of these children make them work in the fields owned by others to earn enough for them to least one meal a day.
  • Courses of action:
  • (A) The Govt should put up a mechanism to provide food grains to the poor people in these districts through public distribution system to encourage the parents to send their wards to school.
  • (B) The Govt should close down some of these schools in the district and deploy the teachers of these schools to nearby schools and also ask remaining students to join these schools.
  • (C) Govt should issue arrest warrants for all the parents who force their children to work in fields instead of attending classes.

Answer: (b)

(A) would be a step in the right direction: it would ensure that hunger does not deprive children of education.

(B) is escapism. (C) is absurd.

Question :3

  • Statement :
  • One aspirant was killed due to stampede while participating in a recruitment drive of police constables.
  • Courses of action:
  • (A) The officials in charge of the recruitment process should immediately be suspended.
  • (B) A team of officials should be asked to find out the circumstances which led to the death of the aspirant and submit its report within a week.
  • (C) The Govt should ask the home department to stagger the number of aspirants over more number of days to avoid such incidents in future.

Answer: (c)

(A) does not make sense unless it be known that these officials are the culprits.

(B) is necessary to prevent such incidents in the future.

So is (C).

Question :4

  • Statement :
  • A heavy unseasonal downpour during the last two days has paralysed the normal life in the state in which five persons were killed but this has provided a huge relief to the problem of acute water crisis in the state.
  • Courses of action:
  • (A) The state government should set up a committee to review the alarming situation.
  • (B) The state government should immediately remove all the restrictions on use of potable water in all the major cities in the state.
  • (C) The state government should send relief supplies to all the affected areas in the state.

Answer: (b)

The alarming situation is pretty obvious.

So a review committee is not required.

Hence I does not follow. Water crisis is not the concern of the statement.

Hence II does not follow.

Merely two days of downpour does not merit "relief supplies"; one assumes there is not a flood-like situation as yet.

Hence III does not follow.

Directions:

In each question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. A course of action is a step or administrative decision to be taken for improvement, follow-up or further action in regard to the problem, policy etc. On the basis of the information given in the statement, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing.

Question :5

  • Statement :
  • It is estimated that about twenty lakhs people will visit the city during the ensuring festival.
  • Courses of action :
  • I : The civic authority should make adequate arrangements to tackle the situation.
  • II : All the hospitals in the city should be put on high alert in case on any eventuality.

Answer: (e)

Both the courses of action are suitable for pursuing considering the visit of a large number of people.
