Directions to Solve

In each question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true and on the basis of the information given in the statement, decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing.

21.

Statement: Majority of the students have failed in one paper in the first semester examination.

Courses of Action:

  1. All those students who failed should be asked to drop out of the course.
  2. The faculty teaching the paper should be asked to resign.

Only I follows
Only II follows
Either I or II follows
Neither I nor II follows
Both I and II follow
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The failure of a majority of students hints at there being lackenings on the part of teaching faculty, which need to be pointed out and removed by constant efforts. So, none of the given courses of action follows.
22.

Statement: Mr. X, an active member of the Union, often insults his superiors in the office with his rude behaviour.

Courses of Action:

  1. He should be transferred to some other department.
  2. The matter should be referred to the Union.

Only I follows
Only II follows
Either I or II follows
Neither I nor II follows
Both I and II follow
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, the only remedy is to somehow attempt to change the habit. If transferred, the habit will create problem elsewhere. Also, it is no legal complaint to be referred to the Union. So, none of the courses follows.
