Directions to Solve

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.


37.

Statement: There has been an unprecedented increase in use of malpractices by the students during various examinations held in the country this year.

Courses of Action:

  1. All the concerned authorities conducting these examinations should immediately take effective measures to curb this menace.
  2. All those students who are detected to have used unfair means should be debarred from appearing in any of these examinations for the next three years.
  3. Using unfair means should immediately be made cognizable offence by passing necessary legislations.

Only I follows
Only I and II follow
Only II and III follow
Only I and III follow
All follow
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Use of malpractices does away with the basic essence of examinations and hence it ought to be checked. So, I follows. Also, the fear of harsh punishments would prevent students from using unfair means. So, II also follows. But declaring it a crime may spoil the career of students who are caught using unfair means. So, III does not follow.

I agree @Disha.

Three years of break would also spoil their career.

The 2nd option would be too harsh on them. Is it seems wrong?

How would the punishments be implemented without the proper guidelines on what specific actions to be taken and a legislation to support that. If you punish someone without legal background support you may end up in jail.

This is too contextual to have a definite answer.

We can equally say to pardoning a person who caused a killed somebody because of negligence because it shall spoil his life.
