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 : 16 [NABARD, 2002]

  • 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 : 17 [M.A.T. 1999]

  • 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 : 18 [S.B.I.P.O. 1999]

  • 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 : 19 [Bank P.O. 2004]

  • Statement:
  • A large number of students studying in municipal schools could not pass the Xth Std. Board examination causing frustration among the students and their parents.

  • Courses of Action:
  • I. The Municipal authority should immediately review the position and initiate measures to improve the situation.
  • II. The municipal authority should immediately fill up the teachers' vacancies in the municipal schools.
  • III. The municipal authority should close down some of their schools and concentrate their attention on remaining schools to improve the conditions.

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)

Such problems can best be dealt with by first detecting the lackings in the existing system and then taking adequate steps to remove them.

So, only I follows.

Question : 20 [R.R.B. 2004]

  • Statement:
  • People residing in some tribal areas are far from education.

  • Courses of Action:
  • I. The government should render all help to the NGOs to schools Open there.
  • II. A mass awareness programme must be initiated in these areas.
  • III. Social workers should be entrusted with the job of educating them.

a) Only I and II follow

b) Only II and III 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.
