2.

Statement: Severe drought is reported to have set in several parts of the country.

Courses of Action:

  1. Government should immediately make arrangement for providing financial assistance to those affected.
  2. Food, water and fodder should immediately be sent to all these areas to save the people and cattle.

Only I follows
Only II follows
Either I or II follows
Neither I nor II follows
Both I and II follow
Answer: Option
Explanation:
In the break-out of a natural calamity, the basic duty of the government becomes to provide the basic amenities essential to save the lives of people and cattle. Providing financial assistance to all would put undue burden on the country's resources. So, only II follows.

Actually, government will also provide financial assistance to the affected people. So, in my view both 1 & 2 follows.

PAVAN said:   1 decade ago
I think both are to be followed. Its the duty of govt to provide support the affected people so that they can manage to come up with that situation.

Chandramohan said:   1 decade ago
I think both will follow because in most of the cases the government also provide financial assistance.

Gullu said:   1 decade ago
According to me as well both should be followed.

Gajender said:   1 decade ago
Word 'immediately' in first statement makes the action urgent and hence it is out. So answer B only seems good to me.

Only 2nd follows because at the time of drought people needs water, food etc only. At this time they even can't utilize their own finance (money) to get water supply from other city as it is responsibility of government.

Paridhi said:   1 decade ago
Why is it so necessary to save only cattle others animals are also there?

Rithik Haldar said:   10 years ago
Clearly Both follows Drought hit area will need financial assistance.

Ankit jaiswal said:   9 years ago
I think B follows as it is not mandatory that financial help by the government immediately help to victims.

Instead of FS there should be all types of requirement which people merely required.

Aditee said:   9 years ago
I also think both are correct.

Eg. Farmers are dependent on rain to earn money. And so they srsly need finance assistance and in fact in the statement too it is clearly mentioned to financially assist those who are affected. And of course, natural calamity affects live in all ways. As prices will hike of so for those more money will be needed.
