Give answer

18.

Statement: There is a substantial increase in the number of accidents causing deaths and severe injuries due to malfunctioning of the traffic signals.

Courses of Action:

  1. The traffic police should immediately post traffic personnel at the junctions.
  2. The signal system should immediately be repaired or replaced.

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, either the traffic signals should be made to function properly or traffic personnel should be deployed to guide vehicular movement in the right way. So, either I or II follows.

Both are required but either of one is immediately required. So, it's either 1 or 2.

I think both are required. The presence of traffic lights doesn't ensure that people will follow the rules. Traffic police should also be there.

I agree @Vivek.

The answer should be E.

How to decide when to use both & when to use either?

I agree with Vivek,

The repair process will result in the lights being inoperable, in which case there should be personnel who need to facilitate whilst repairs are completed in real-time

Vivek Todi said:   1 decade ago
I think both I and II will follow because the traffic signals repair process may take time and till that time we'll need to deploy traffic personnel to guide vehicular movement. Hope I've analsyed properly.
