Statement: Financial stringency prevented the State Government from paying salaries to its employees since April this year.
Courses of Action:
- The State Government should immediately curtail the staff strength at least by 30%.
- The State Government should reduce wasteful expenditure and arrange to pay the salaries of its employees.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, curtailing of the staff strength will only increase the panic and discontent, and the satisfaction of the employees is a must. So, the Government should arrange for payment of wages. Thus, only course II follows.

You guys messed up on your English again. If the government is already "stringent" that implies they have already reduced waste and are running efficiently, so neither follows.
You might say, "low tax revenues", or "financial crisis" prevented the government from paying employees.
