Statement: Launching of new brands of four-wheelers is adding to the traffic congestion in the metro cities.

I. Public should be encouraged to share their private vehicles while traveling to their work places.
II. Govt should levy heavy taxes on motor cars in metro cities.

Explanation:
The statement talks about the increasing traffic congestion in metro cities due to the launch of new brands of four-wheelers. This situation demands immediate action to control traffic and pollution.

I. Public should be encouraged to share their private vehicles while traveling to their work places: This course of action is relevant as it will help to reduce the number of private vehicles on the road, thereby reducing traffic congestion and pollution. Encouraging carpooling and ride-sharing can be an effective way to achieve this.

II. Govt should levy heavy taxes on motor cars in metro cities: This course of action is not relevant as levying heavy taxes on motor cars will not necessarily reduce the traffic congestion. It may discourage people from buying new cars, but it will not address the existing problem of traffic congestion.

Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer as Course of Action I follows but Course of Action II does not follow. Encouraging carpooling and ride-sharing can be an effective way to reduce traffic congestion and pollution in metro cities.

In this question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action. On the basis of the information given in the statement, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true then decide which of the suggested courses of actions is worth pursuing.

Statement Analysis:
Entrepreneurs are crucial for a country's development, and India is falling behind in fostering entrepreneurship.

Courses of Action:

I. Indian government should open more colleges and practice schools for entrepreneurship.
- By opening more colleges and practice schools dedicated to entrepreneurship, the government can provide aspiring entrepreneurs with the necessary skills and knowledge.
- This action can help in creating a more conducive environment for entrepreneurship to thrive in India.

II. An upper limit must be set on the companies coming to colleges for placements, so that more students are left unemployed and switch to entrepreneurship.
- Setting an upper limit on companies for placements may lead to increased unemployment among students, which may not necessarily push them towards entrepreneurship.
- Unemployment should not be the driving force behind entrepreneurship, as it should be based on passion, skills, and innovation.

III. Entrepreneurship as a subject must be made compulsory in all the schools and colleges, which will result in an increasing understanding of the subject, and will create more and better entrepreneurs.
- Making entrepreneurship a compulsory subject in schools and colleges can help in creating awareness and interest among students from a young age.
- This can lead to a generation of individuals who are well-versed in entrepreneurship and may choose to pursue it as a career path.

Conclusion:
Based on the statement provided, Course of Action I is worth pursuing as it directly addresses the need to create more opportunities and resources for aspiring entrepreneurs in India. This action can help in nurturing and supporting the growth of entrepreneurship in the country.

Statement: There have been a large number of cases of Internet hacking in the recent months, creating panic among the Internet users.

Course of action:

I. The government machinery should make an all-out effort to nab those who are responsible and put them behind bars.

II. The Internet users should be advised to stay away from using the Internet till the culprits are caught.

Explanation:

The given statement highlights the issue of Internet hacking that has caused panic among Internet users. To address this issue, two courses of action have been suggested.

Course of action I suggests that the government should take all necessary measures to identify the hackers and bring them to justice. This course of action is logical as the government has the responsibility to maintain law and order in the country. The increasing number of Internet hacking incidents is a matter of concern that needs to be addressed immediately.

Course of action II suggests that Internet users should be advised to refrain from using the Internet until the culprits are caught. However, this may not be a feasible solution as the Internet has become an integral part of our lives. Asking people to stop using the Internet may not be a practical solution, and it may cause inconvenience to the users.

Therefore, only Course of action I logically follows, while Course of action II is not a practical solution. Hence, the correct answer is (a) if only I follows.

Sonali sharma answered
Statement: With the onset of monsoon all the hospitals are getting increased number of patients due to various epidemics.

Course of Action:

I. Civic authorities should educate the public about the need for observing minimum required hygiene.

II. Civic authorities should make arrangements to equip the hospitals with required medicines and other facilities.

Explanation:

The statement mentions that hospitals are getting an increased number of patients due to various epidemics during the monsoon season. Based on this, the following can be inferred:

- Course of action I: Educating the public about the need for observing minimum required hygiene may help in preventing the spread of epidemics. However, it may not necessarily reduce the number of patients in hospitals. Also, it is not mentioned whether the spread of the epidemics is due to lack of hygiene among the public or not. Hence, course of action I does not logically follow.
- Course of action II: Equipping hospitals with required medicines and other facilities may help in treating the patients effectively. However, it does not necessarily address the root cause of the problem, which is the spread of epidemics. Also, it is not mentioned whether the hospitals are lacking in medicines and facilities or not. Hence, course of action II does not logically follow.

Therefore, neither course of action I nor II follows logically. The correct answer is option D.

Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is followed by two courses of action.
Q. Statement: The stock market has once again witnessed 1992-like boom.
Courses of action:
I. An investor should buy shares heavily.
II. Careful watch should be kept by the government to ensure that the boom is not the result of any scam.
  • a)
    if I follows but II does not follow.
  • b)
    if II follows but I does not follow.
  • c)
    if neither I nor II follows.
  • d)
    if both I and II follow.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sehaj Kaur answered
If we assume the option(1) , then we see that a investor who will buy shares on heavy rates would obviously face problems further. on the other hand, while assuming option(2) , if govt. ensures that boom which is going on will not result any scam, then there is no harm in this. And, so the suitable ans. is option(B) ...if (2) follows then (1) does not follows.

Q. Statement: The prices of mangoes in the local market have dropped substantially due to supply demand mismatch.
Course of action:
I. The Govt. should encourage the wholesale fruit suppliers to sell the mangoes to the markets of other states.
II. The Govt. should encourage the farmers to extract pulp and sell the pulp to the wholesalers.
  • 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.
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Situation
The statement highlights a significant issue: the prices of mangoes have dropped due to a supply-demand mismatch. This situation necessitates strategic actions to address the problem and stabilize the market.
Evaluation of Course of Action I
- The first course of action suggests that the government should encourage wholesale fruit suppliers to sell mangoes to markets in other states.
- This action is logical because it could help absorb the excess supply in the local market, potentially stabilizing prices.
- By expanding the market reach, wholesale suppliers may find better prices elsewhere, benefitting both the suppliers and farmers.
Evaluation of Course of Action II
- The second course of action proposes that the government should encourage farmers to extract pulp and sell it to wholesalers.
- This is a valid approach as it provides an alternative use for mangoes that may not sell well in their fresh form.
- It encourages farmers to diversify their products, potentially creating a new revenue stream and reducing waste.
Conclusion
Both courses of action address the core issue of the supply-demand imbalance effectively:
- I helps by finding new markets to sell excess mangoes.
- II offers a solution for mangoes that may not be sold fresh, turning them into pulp.
Given that both actions can contribute positively to the situation, the correct answer is:
e) if both I and II follow.

  • d)
    if neither I nor II follows
  • e)
    if both I and II follow.
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Sunaina Kapoor answered
Statement Analysis:
The statement mentions that power cuts are causing difficulties for students during examination time.

Possible Courses of Action:

I. Government should advise the public to make standby arrangements like generators and inverters.
This course of action suggests that the government should take steps to advise the public to make standby arrangements like generators and inverters. This may help the students to have an uninterrupted power supply during examination time. However, the statement does not provide any information about the feasibility of this course of action. Also, it is not clear whether the government has the resources to implement such a plan. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that this course of action logically follows.

II. Parents of the students should take out a morcha to the State Electricity Boards in protest against power cuts.
This course of action suggests that parents of the students should take out a protest march to the State Electricity Boards to demand a solution to the power cut issue. This may help to draw attention to the issue and put pressure on the authorities to take action. However, it is not clear whether this action will be effective in solving the problem. Moreover, it may cause inconvenience to the general public and disrupt the functioning of the State Electricity Boards. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that this course of action logically follows.

Conclusion:
Neither course of action logically follows from the given statement because both courses of action have certain limitations and are not guaranteed to solve the problem of power cuts during examination time. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' - if neither I nor II follows.

In the question below a statement followed by two courses of action numbered I and II is given. On the basis of the information given in the statement, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) first pursuing.
Statement:
A huge fire broke out due to damage done to the gas pipeline While laying pipes for one of the utility companies.
Courses of action:
I. All the licenses of the utility companies should immediately be suspended pending enquiry into the incidence.
II. People residing in the area should be advised to stay indoors to avoid burn injuries.
  • a)
    If only Course of Action (II) follows
  • b)
    If only Course of Action (I) follows
  • c)
    If either Course of Action (I) or (II) follows
  • d)
    If neither Course of Action (I) nor (II) follows
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Nilesh Patel answered
The logic follows here is:
Here, we can say it was an accident, it was not done intentionally by the utility company.
Course of Action 1: Taking extreme measure like suspending the license of the utility company without proper enquiry for this happening is not the correct course of action as this was an accident. So, the course of action I doesn't follow.
Course of Action 2: Instructions should be given to the people to remain inside their houses as a precautionary measure is the correct course of action. So, the course of action II follow.
Hence, the correct answer is "If only Course of Action (II) follows". 

In this question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action. On the basis of the information given in the statement, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true then decide which of the suggested courses of actions is worth pursuing.
Statement: 
A major ship sank recently resulting in thousands of barrels of crude oil being spilled over a range of over 100 nautical miles. It has resulted in the death of thousands of fishes and other sea animals.
Courses of Action: 
I. The human inhabitants of the islands near the oil spill location should be promptly notified and warned.
II. The company that manufactured the ship should be heavily penalized.
III. The company owning and using the ship for commercial purposes should be heavily penalized.

    II and III follow 
  • d)
    All follow
  • e)
    None follow
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Eshaan Kapoor answered
I follow, as the oil spill which has had a direct effect on the fishes, and killed them, might also have an effect on the human habitation around the oil spill area, as the water is bound to get contaminated. Regarding II and III, III definitely follows. Under the polluter pays principle, and under many other laws, the company using the ship for commercial purposes will be held liable and will have to pay a heavy fine. However, since we do not yet know if it was a manufacturing defect, it would be absurd to penalize the ship manufacturing company.

Statement: The kharif crop has been affected by the insects for consecutive three years in the district, and the farmers harvested less than fifty percent of produce during these years.

Course of action:

I. The farmers should seek measures to control the attack of insects to protect their crops next year.

II. The government should increase the support price of kharif crops considerably to protect the economic interests of farmers.

Explanation:

Both the courses of action seem logical and necessary to address the issue mentioned in the statement.

I. The farmers should seek measures to control the attack of insects to protect their crops next year:

This course of action is necessary as the farmers need to take preventive measures to protect their crops from insect attacks. They can seek the help of agricultural experts or use insecticides to control the insect population. This will help in ensuring a better harvest next year.

II. The government should increase the support price of kharif crops considerably to protect the economic interests of farmers:

This course of action is also necessary as the farmers have suffered considerable losses for three consecutive years. Increasing the support price of kharif crops will help in compensating the farmers for their losses and also encourage them to continue farming. This will also ensure food security in the region.

Therefore, both the courses of action are necessary to address the issue mentioned in the statement. Hence, the correct answer is option E - if both I and II follow.

Statement: People in the locality were agitated as more than thirty people died in a building collapse.

Course of action:

I. Government should immediately announce compensations for the affected families.
II. Authorities should take a stringent action against builders tending to compromise over quality of material used.

Explanation:
The given statement highlights a tragic incident where more than thirty people died due to the collapse of a building. In such a situation, it is necessary to take appropriate actions to provide relief to the affected families and prevent such incidents from happening again.

Course of action I suggests that the government should immediately announce compensations for the affected families. This is a necessary step to provide relief to the families who have lost their loved ones and may be facing financial difficulties. Therefore, course of action I logically follows.

Course of action II suggests that authorities should take stringent action against builders who compromise over the quality of material used. This is necessary to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future. Therefore, course of action II also logically follows.

Hence, both course of action I and II follow, and the correct answer is option E.

  • c)
    if neither I nor II follows.
  • d)
    if I follows but II does not follow.
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

Statement:
Cost of paper has been increasing at a very high rate. Printing charges, railway freight and other charges are also higher.

Course of Action I:
Government should give adequate subsidies so that publishing houses do not increase the prices of newspapers and magazines.

Explanation for Course of Action I:
- Providing subsidies by the government can help publishing houses in managing the increased costs without passing it on to the consumers.
- Subsidies can help in maintaining the affordability of newspapers and magazines for the general public.

Course of Action II:
Publishing houses should increase the prices so that they could run their newspapers and magazines.

Explanation for Course of Action II:
- Increasing prices might not be a sustainable solution as it can lead to a decrease in readership and affect the circulation of newspapers and magazines.
- Higher prices can also further burden the consumers who rely on these sources of information.

Conclusion:
Based on the above analysis, Course of Action I is a more viable solution as it focuses on providing support to publishing houses without putting additional financial strain on consumers. Therefore, Course of Action I follows while Course of Action II does not follow.

Jatin Rane answered
Understanding the Statement
The statement highlights an issue identified by the librarian regarding torn pages in books that have been issued to students. This situation raises concerns about accountability and the condition of library resources.
Analysis of Course of Action I
- Record-Keeping: The librarian suggests maintaining a record of books issued to each student.
- Accountability: If a book is found with torn pages, the student who had borrowed it can be held accountable.
- Strict Measures: Enforcing consequences on the responsible student can deter future damage to library books.
This course of action logically follows from the statement, as it directly addresses the issue of accountability and seeks to prevent further damage.
Analysis of Course of Action II
- Collective Funds: The second course of action proposes collecting funds from children to renovate the library.
- Irrelevance to the Issue: While improving the library is a good idea, it does not address the immediate problem of torn pages in books.
This course of action does not logically follow from the statement, as it does not provide a solution to the specific issue raised.
Conclusion
Based on the above analysis:
- Only Course of Action I logically follows from the statement regarding the torn pages in library books.
- Course of Action II, while beneficial, does not address the pressing issue at hand.
Thus, the correct answer is (a) if only I follows.

Statement: The sale of a particular product has gone down considerably causing great concern to the company

Course of action:

I. The company should make a proper study of rival products in the market.

II. The price of the product should be reduced and quality should be improved.

The given statement indicates that the company is facing a decline in the sales of a particular product, which is causing concern. In order to address this issue, two courses of action have been suggested.

I. The company should make a proper study of rival products in the market:
This course of action is a logical step to take in order to understand the market dynamics and competition. By studying rival products, the company can gain insights into the reasons behind the decline in sales. They can analyze the features, pricing, and marketing strategies of their competitors to identify areas where they need to improve. This will help the company to make informed decisions and come up with effective strategies to boost sales. Therefore, this course of action logically follows.

II. The price of the product should be reduced and quality should be improved:
This course of action suggests that the company should lower the price of the product and focus on improving its quality. Reducing the price may attract more customers and increase sales volume. Additionally, improving the quality of the product can enhance its value proposition and customer satisfaction, leading to increased sales. However, without conducting a proper study of rival products and market dynamics, it is difficult to determine whether reducing the price and improving quality alone will address the decline in sales. Therefore, this course of action does not logically follow.

Conclusion:
Based on the given statement, only course of action I logically follows. The company should make a proper study of rival products in the market to understand the reasons behind the decline in sales and come up with effective strategies to boost sales.

Q. Statement: The meteorological department has predicted normal rainfall throughout the country during the current monsoon.
Course of action:
I. The Govt. should reduce the procurement price of food-grains for the current year.
II. The Govt. should reduce subsidy on fertilizers for the current year.  
  • a)
    if only I follows.

    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.
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Statement
The statement indicates that the meteorological department has predicted normal rainfall across the country during the current monsoon. This suggests that agricultural conditions are expected to be stable, which can influence government decisions regarding food procurement and subsidies.
Analyzing Course of Action I
- I. The Govt. should reduce the procurement price of food-grains for the current year.
- Normal rainfall typically leads to good crop yields. Reducing the procurement price may disincentivize farmers from producing food-grains, as they might not receive adequate compensation for their efforts.
- Therefore, this action does not logically follow from the statement.
Analyzing Course of Action II
- II. The Govt. should reduce subsidy on fertilizers for the current year.
- Similar to the first point, the prediction of normal rainfall implies a stable agricultural environment. Reducing subsidies on fertilizers could negatively impact crop yields, as farmers may not have enough resources to optimize production.
- Hence, this course of action is also not warranted based on the predicted conditions.
Conclusion
- Since neither course of action I nor II is supported by the statement regarding normal rainfall, the correct answer is:
d) if neither I nor II follows.
