Directions :
In each question below is given a statement followed by three courses of action numbered I, II and III. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then decide which of the three given suggested courses of action logically follows for pursuing.

Question : 11 [R.B.I. 2003]

  • Statement:
  • There have been quite a few incidents of highway robbery on the super expressway between cities A and B during recent months.

  • Courses of Action:
  • I. The local administration should immediately set up police tickets along the expressway to prevent robbery.
  • II. The local administration should immediately close down the expressway till the robbers are apprehended.
  • III. More and more people should be given training on how to tackle with the robbers.

a) Only I follows

b) Only I and II follow

c) Only I and III follow

d) All 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 : 12 [M.A.T. 2005]

  • 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.

Question : 13 [S.B.I.P.O. 1999]

  • 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 : 14 [M.B.A. 2005]

  • 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 : 15 [S.B.I.P.O. 1999]

  • Statement:
  • The Management of School M has decided to give free breakfast from next academic year to all the students in its primary section through its canteen even though they will not get any government grant.

  • Courses of Action:
  • I. The school will have to admit many poor students who will seek admission for the next academic year.
  • II. The canteen facilities and utensils have to be checked and new purchases to be made to equip it properly.
  • III. Funds will have to be raised to support the scheme for years to come.

a) Only I follows

b) Only either I or II follows

c) Only II and III follow

d) All follow

e) None of these

Answer: (c)

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.
