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.

c) Only I and III follow

d) Only either I or III, and II follow

e) All follow

Answer: (a)

Clearly, people in tribal areas ought to be made aware of the need for education and persuaded to send children to schools. But at the same time, proper facilities to render education must also be available.

So, both I and II follow. However, education by social workers shall be a temporary remedy. Thus, III does not follow.

Since the school has introduced the scheme without receiving any grant, it needs to pool up the funds and make adequate arrangements to keep the scheme going.

So, only II and III follow.

Question : 6

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

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.
