Directions to Solve

In each question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true and on the basis of the information given in the statement, decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing.

Give answer

  • (B) If only II follows
  • (C) If either I or II follows
  • (D) If neither I nor II follows
  • (E) If both I and II follow.

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.

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.

Financial assistance doesn't quantify the size of money. Logic says Assistant in time of need is to help not to make the victim rich.

So, Both should follow.

How come it assumed financial assistance is more than a basic requirement need? Please explain 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.

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.

The word immediate makes the difference.

Yes, the government should provide financial support too, but well after providing essential needs as mention in conclusion 2.

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.

I think E should be the answer because not only basic amenities are enough but financial assistance is also required to come back to normal life.

Both 1 and 2 follow the statement, why because its govt responsibility to provide financial support for their survivals. Thank you.

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

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