Question : 1

  • Statement:
  • The meteorological department has issued a notification forecasting less rainfall next year's monsoon.

  • Courses of Action:
  • I. The government should immediately set up a water authority for the proper management of water resources.
  • II. The water supply authorities should be asked to implement a reduction in the regular water supply to tackle the situation.
  • III. The farmers should be advised to cultivate alternate crops which require less water during the coming months.

a) Only I and II follow

b) Only II and III follow

c) Only I and III follow

d) All follow

e) None of these

Answer: (a)

Getting the information well in advance clearly suggests that adequate water be saved for the crisis by proper management and moderate cuts in the water supply.

Cultivating alternate crops may not prove viable for the farmers. So, only I and II follow.

Question : 2

  • Statement:
  • Nuclear power cannot make the country secure.

  • Courses of Action:
  • I. We must stop further expenses on increasing our nuclear power.
  • II. We must destroy our nuclear capability.
  • III. We must concentrate on improving our diplomatic relations.

a) Only I follows

b) Only II follows

c) Only III follows

d) Only I and III follow

Answer: (c)

The statement asserts that increasing defensive power does not ensure the safety of a country. It is equally important to maintain good relations with other countries as well. But this does not imply that the country should stop concentrating on increasing defensive power or destroy the existing power.

Thus, only III follows.

Question : 3

  • Statement:
  • The Deputy Mayor of city Z has proposed to install a plant of mineral water and to supply citizens mineral water bottles at Rs. 6 per litre as against Rs. 10 per litre being sold by local private companies.

  • Courses of Action:
  • I. The local private companies of city Z will have to close their operation.
  • II. The Corporation of city Z will have to provide for losses in this project in its budget.
  • III. The tap water schemes of city Z will have to be stopped.

a) Only I and II follow

b) Only II and III follow

c) Only I and III follow

d) All follow

e) None of these

Answer: (e)

The Corporation has planned to install its plant so as to achieve cost-effective production of mineral water. Had there been a loss, it could also acquire water from private companies.

So, II does not follow. Besides, the local private companies can survive by cutting costs or by extending their sales network to other cities.

Thus, I does not follow. Lastly, the Corporation seeks to provide healthy drinking water to the residents. Water for general use would still be delivered through taps.

Hence, III also does not follow.

Question : 4

  • Statement:
  • Lack of coordination between the University, its colleges and various authorities have resulted in students ousted from one college seeking migration to another.

  • Courses of Action:
  • I. If a student is ousted from a college, the information should be sent to all the other colleges of the University.
  • II. The admissions to all the colleges of the University should be handled by the University directly.
  • III. A separate section should be made for taking strict action against students indulging in anti-social activities.

a) Only I follows

b) Only II follows

c) Only III follows

d) Only I and III follow

e) Only II and III follow

Answer: (a)

Clearly, the issue is not so big as to allow all powers of admissions to colleges, to the University only. So, II does not follow.

The problem can be solved by circulating the information of the ousted students to all the colleges so as to ensure that such students do not get admission elsewhere also. This might prove useful in rectifying such students.

So, I followed while III does not.

Question : 5

  • Statement:
  • Company X has rejected the first lot of values supplied by Company A and has cancelled its entire huge order quoting use of inferior quality material and poor craftsmanship.

  • Courses of Action:
  • I. Company A needs to investigate the functioning of its purchase production and quality control departments.
  • II. Company A should inspect all the valves rejected by Company X.
  • III. Company A should inform Company X that steps have been taken for improvement and renegotiate schedule of supply.

a) Only I and II follow

b) Only II follows

c) II, and either I or III follow

d) All I, II and III follow

e) None of these

Answer: (a)

Clearly, incidents of robbery can be practically averted only by tightening security arrangements and increasing vigilance by police.

So, I follows. Neither II nor III follows as none of them is practically viable.

Question : 6

  • Statement:
  • In one of the worst accidents in railway level crossing, fifty people died when a bus carrying them collided on to a running train.

  • Courses of Action:
  • I. The train driver should immediately be suspended.
  • II. The driver of the bus should be tried in court for negligence on his part.
  • III. The railway authority should be asked to man all its level crossings.

a) None follows

b) Only I and II follow

c) Only III follows

d) Only II and III follow

e) None of these

Answer: (c)

The problem discussed in the statement is not regarding the current accident, but to do something to avert such mishaps.

Accidents at railway crossings can be averted by deploying men to regulate traffic and installing barriers to check traffic movement when a train passes by. So, only III follows.
