Logical Reasoning - Course of Action - Discussion

First, I agree that all students to be examined regardless of faulty results, and there should be some form of penalty, but the suspension is very strict, (some blunders are typos that should mean that the review system to be improved) thus it cannot be said to stop such future occurrences.

Also, Courses of Action in a situation are chosen differently by different persons, this kind of answer reflects psychometric (psychological traits) tests, thus these questions have normally no right answer, some might take an action, others won't, their approach may be different.

Here, Re-exam should be taken 1st and all students should be allowed to attend it otherwise it will become an unfair practice with the passed students.

Action against paper setters will make them aware of the importance of their work & will definitely acts as a driving force behind all employees in this section.

From this I can say that only Course of Action-II follows. Hence answer of the given question is.

[B] Only II follows.

I agree that only the failing pupils doing a test doesn't compensate for students who passed but still were hampered by the faulty questions.

Also "All those who are responsible for the error should be suspended and an enquiry should be initiated to find out the facts", - its presumptuous that there should be suspensions - its not appropriate to call out the punishment - investigate and then act.

I think the first option is correct.

As it is not the fault of students that the faulty questions came in an exam, so the exam must be rescheduled or another way is they can give full marks for those questions.

But the second course of action is very extreme, as we can't directly suspend the teachers for making mistakes.

If suspension is the remedy for errors committed by authority of any institutions, then complete computer oriented system of education must prevail in future, other wise we don't find any teacher who work efficiently like a computer. In my opinion they should warned and given another chance.

@Das and @Krishan are correct, once again not a properly written question. All students should be able to retake the exam for a possible better score. So many flaws with how these questions are written. You need to get someone to rewrite these questions who has a degree in English.

Faulty questions is not the problem of students, it is the problem of paper setter. Papers are to be checked thoroughly before being released. Students should not be allowed to give retest but marks should be given to those who have answered it but have got wrong answers.

If this is a logic test, then logic should be the primary factor in the selection.

The part that gets me is the suspension. It would clearly be logical had they said, "an investigation should be opened to determine the source of the faulty questions".

I agree with @Shiv. I also think that re-taking the exam wouldn't solve much, given that the same people that were to blame for the faulty questions are still in charge of making tests, so only statement II would follow.

I Agree with Das.

Everyone who took the exam should take the retest. But option II is not realistic, faulty questionnaires happen, and teachers are given chances to correct it, not suspend them.
