Question : 16 [R.B.I. 2002]

    • Statement:
    • It is necessary to adopt suitable measures to prevent the repetition of bad debts by learning from the past experiences of mounting non - performing assets of banks.

  • Courses of Action:
  • I. Before granting loans to customers their eligibility for loans should be evaluated strictly.
  • II. To ensure the payment of installments of loans, the work, for which the loan was granted, should be supervised minutely on regular basis.

a) If only I follows;

b) If only II follows;

c) If either I or II follows;

d) If neither I nor II follows

e) If both I and II follow.

Answer: (e)

To ensure that debts taken are repaid promptly, the customers' requirements and future prospects ought to be studied and their work constantly checked.

Thus, both the courses follow.

Question : 17 [Officers' Exam, 2004]

    • Statement:
    • A large number of students have been caught using unfair means during the final - year degree examination.

  • Courses of Action:
  • I. All these students should be debarred permanently from appearing for any examination conducted by the authority.
  • II. The guardians of these students should be called by the authority to inform them that any such behaviour in future will not be tolerated.

a) If only I follows;

b) If only II follows;

c) If either I or II follows;

d) If neither I nor II follows

e) If both I and II follow.

Answer: (d)

Merely a warning for the future won't help, and an extremely harsh punishment as debarring students from exams permanently would spoil their future.

So, none of the courses follows.

Question : 18 [M.B.A. 2002]

    • Statement:
    • Four districts in State A have been experiencing severe drought for the last three years resulting into exodus of people from these districts.

c) If either I or II follows;

d) If neither I nor II follows

e) If both I and II follow.

Answer: (e)

The exodus can be stopped by providing the people conditions conducive to living.

So, both the courses follow.

Question : 19 [NABARD, 2002]

    • Statement:
    • Majority of the students in many schools do not pass in the final examination.

  • Courses of Action:
  • I. These schools should be closed down as these have become unproductive.
  • II. The teachers of these schools should immediately be retrenched.

a) If only I follows;

b) If only II follows;

c) If either I or II follows;

d) If neither I nor II follows

e) If both I and II follow.

Answer: (d)

Clearly, the situation demands that efforts be made to remove the lackenings in the present system of education and adequate measures be taken to improve the performance of students. Harsh measures as those given in I and II, won’t help.

So, none of the given courses follows.

Question : 20 [Asstt. Managers' Exam, 2002]

b) If only II follows;

c) If either I or II follows;

d) If neither I nor II follows

e) If both I and II follow.

Answer: (b)

Clearly, I is not practically viable. However, villagers should be rewarded for their courage, to keep up their spirits in future.

Thus, II follows.
