Instructions

In each question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. A course of action is a step or administrative decision to be taken for improvement, follow-up or further action in regard to the problems, policy, etc. on the basis of the information given in the statement. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then decide which of the given suggested courses of action logically follows for pursuing.

Question 99

Statement: Although the Indian economy is still heavily dependent on agriculture, its share in global agricultural trade is less than the share of agricultural exports to total exports.
Course of Action:

I. Efforts should be made to increase our agricultural production.
II. The exports of non-agricultural commodities should be reduced.

Solution

The statement talks about India's share in global agricultural trade being less than the share of agricultural exports to total exports.

Both courses of action seem to be invalid in this case. This is because we neither know whether the issue is due to the lower agricultural production nor if the reduction of export of non-agricultural commodities is a potential solution.
