Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (D)

The first course of action seems reasonable and viable as it may reduce the losses being incurred by the small city airports. The second course of action seems unfeasible as the loss of money can be due to various factors and shutting down the airport is not a good option as it has other benefits as well. The third course of action seems viable and reasonable as it will help reduce the losses being incurred by the airports in general.

Thus option D is the correct answer.

2) Answer (A)

The first course of action seems reasonable and feasible. The second course of action is not feasible because it is ethically wrong and may be a legal offence. The third course of action is not feasible as the task of finding accommodation is not the employer’s responsibility.

Thus option A is the correct answer.

3) Answer (D)

The first course of action is not feasible as no one is forcing the customers to choose the alternative. The second course of action seems feasible as it addresses the concerns of the drivers. The third action also seems beneficial to the situation as it is given that the primary competition to the autos are the app-based cab companies.

Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

4) Answer (B)

Not everyone would be able to use private transportation. Thus, I does not follow.
Also, the government must try to solve the difficulties faced by travellers. Thus, II follows.
Thus, B is the correct choice.

5) Answer (D)

Importing more from Chinese companies can lead to shrinkage of Indian pharma industry and can even lead to job loss. Thus, I shouldn’t be the preferred course of action.
II is not feasible practically and it may lead to many other problems which may, in fact, lead to huge losses. Thus, II shouldn’t be the preferred course of action.
Thus, D is the correct choice.

6) Answer (B)

New technology project can be an asset for the country. Also, it generates revenues and provides employment. Further, since the loan is interest-free, other projects can also be financed.
Thus, B is the correct choice.

7) Answer (C)

Action I is not correct and is would lead to an unequal society.
Action II would not be fair for the male leaders. Thus action II does not follow.
Providing fair chance of succeeding is a must. Thus action III follow.
Thus, C is the correct choice.

8) Answer (E)

Since education is important making is compulsory till a certain age is a requirement. Thus, action II follows. Also, the reason for dropping out is employment so employing kids below certain age is a must. Thus, action I follows.
Hence, option E is the correct choice.

9) Answer (C)

Both the courses of action are logical in the given situation. Since, farmers have suffered losses due to bad monsoon so it would be good for the government to help them financially. II is also logical to ensure that farmers are too dependent on rain. Thus, both I and II are logical courses of action. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

10) Answer (A)

The problem being exposed is the vulnerability of the Indian batsmen on seam friendly pitches. I is a logical course of action as if the people have good exposure of playing on such wickets then they are likely to perform better in the future. II is not a logical course of action as the new players may also fail to perform on seaming pitches. Hence, only I is a logical course of action.

11) Answer (A)

Without knowing the cause of the death, it will be futile to invest in bullet-proof jackets. The course of action must be logical rather than impulsive. Moreover, we do not know whether the cop was wearing a jacket and whether the lack of jacket was the reason for death. Therefore, investigating the reason for death is the correct course of action.

Therefore, option A is the right answer.

12) Answer (B)

Since it is only a threat and the veracity of it is not established, the police should check the stadium and increase the security. Abandoning the match is a drastic measure. Hence, only II follows.

13) Answer (E)

Since pollution level has risen to a dangerous level, action I can help reduce the pollution for short term. Hence, I follows.
To find a long-term solution to the problem, the government must find the exact causes of pollution and act on it. Hence, II follows.
Hence, option E is the correct option.

14) Answer (B)

Displacing entire village won’t be possible. Hence, action I is extreme and does not follow.
Use of anti-mosquito sprays would ensure that the infection causing mosquitos are wiped out throughout the village.
Hence, option B is the correct choice.

15) Answer (C)

Both the given actions logically follow from the given statement. The cyclone is predicted to strike the Gujarat coast in the coming few days. So it is important for the government to take precautionary measures. Both the given courses of action are correct. Hence, option C is the right answer.
