Directions:

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 :11

  • Statement :
  • An increasing number of farmers prefer to avail loans from local moneylenders instead of the banks owing to complicated paperwork involved in banks.
  • Courses of action :
  • I : Local moneylenders who charge interest rates lower than the banks should be punished.
  • II : Banks should simplify the procedure to avail of loans so as to suit the farmers.

Answer: (d)

I is simply absurd.

II follows as a solution to the complicated paperwork.

Question :12

  • Statement :
  • A huge truck overturned on the middle of the main road and blocked most part of the road, causing a huge traffic jam.
  • Courses of action :
  • I : The traffic department should immediately deploy its personnel to divert traffic through other roads.
  • II : The traffic department should immediately send men and equipment to move the truck and clear the road.

Answer: (a)

Both of these are solutions to traffic jam but both together may not be feasible or necessary.

Question :13

  • Statement :
  • A large number of invitees who attended the marriage function fell ill due to food poisoning and were rushed to various hospitals located in the area.
  • Courses of action :
  • I : The government should ban such marriage functions till further notice.
  • II : The local hospitals should be advised by the government to provide best services to the affected people.

Answer: (d)

Again, I is not practical.

Question :14

  • Statement :
  • Drinking water supply to many parts of the town has been disrupted due to loss of water because of leakage in pipes supplying water.
  • Courses of action :
  • I : The government should order an enquiry into the matter.
  • II : The civic body should set up a fact-finding team to assess the damage and take effective steps.

Answer: (d)

The first course of action does not match the scale of the problem.

The problem is not so big as to merit a govt enquiry.

It is enough that the civic body take action and hence II follows.

Question :15

  • Statement :
  • India has been continuously experiencing military threats from its neighbouring countries.
  • Courses of action :
  • I : India should engage into an all out war to stop the nagging threats.
  • II : India should get the neighbours into a serious dialogue to reduce the tension at its borders.

Answer: (d)

Only course of action II is suitable for pursuing.

The first course of action may aggravate the situation further.

Therefore, it is not suitable for pursuing.
