In each question below is given a statement followed by two courses ofaction numbered I and II. A course of action is a step of 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 given in the statement. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then decide with of the given suggested courses of action logically follows for pursuing

Question 81

Statement :
The government could consider the possibility of increasing the software budget from the current Rs. 20 crore to Rs.100 crore in the next Plan provided there are concrete suggestions for the utilisation of the funds.
Course of action:
I. The Government should consult the trade unions in this regard.
II. Software companies should submit detailed proposals to the Government

Video Solution

Solution

In this question, the basic premise is the possibility of increasing the software budget based on concrete suggestions/plans as to how the increased budget would be used. Hence, the course of action in this scenario shall be related to the possibility of having concrete suggestions, which is exactly what the second statement provides for. The first statement regarding the trade unions is not apt in this context, because consulting them would not contribute to the possibility of having a concrete plan.

Therefore, only the second course of action is correct.

Question 82

Statement :
The Government will slap legally enforceable penalities on coal companies defaulting on quality and quantity of coal supplies to bulk consumers, especially to the thermal power stations.
Courses of Action :
I. The requirement of coal for thermal power stations should be assessed realistically.
II. The coal companies should introduce welfare measures for their employees.

Video Solution

Solution

In this question, the basic premise relates to the penalty on coal companies for compromising the quality or quantity of coal supplies.

Statement 1 is irrelevant to the premise as the discussion revolves around the coal companies defaulting on the coal supplies and not with respect to the requirement of thermal power plants.

Statement 2 is again irrelevant to the basic premise since the discussion on welfare schemes for employees would have no bearing on the companies defaulting on quality or quantity of coal supplies.

Question 83

Statement:
One of the problems facing the food processing industry is the irregular supply of raw material. The producers of raw material are not getting a reasonable price.
Course of Action :
I. The government should regulate the supply of raw material to other industries also.
II. The government should announce an attractive package to ensure regular supply of raw material for food processing industry

Video Solution

Solution

The current premise requires a course of action that shall resolve the issue of irregular supply of raw materials to the food processing industry, which happens mainly because the producers are not able to secure a reasonable price for their raw material.

Statement 1 is irrelevant because the discussion about regulating the supply of raw materials to other industries will not solve the issue for the food processing industry.

Statement 2 is relevant for the discussion because it offers a potential solution to attract a regular supply of raw materials by giving attractive incentives.

Question 84

Statement :
The Secretary lamented that the electronic media was losing its credibility and that it should try to regain to by establishing better communications with the listeners and the viewers. He also emphasised the need for training to improve the functioning.
Course of Action :
I. Efforts should be made to get organised feedback on the programmes.
II. The critical areas in which the staff requires training should be identified.

Video Solution

Solution

The basic premise deals with improving the credibility of electronic media by taking actionable steps and improving its functioning as well.

Statement 1 is a valid course of action since taking feedback shall result in having a clearer picture of the scenario and help the team take correct measures.

Statement 2 is also a valid course of action since identifying the critical areas of training shall assist the team in having a proper training program to improve the functioning as identified by the secretary.

Question 85

Statement :
Doordarshan is concerned about the quality of its programmes particularly in view of stiff competition it is facing from Star and other satellite TV channels and is contemplating various measures to attract talent for its programmes.
Course of Action :
I. In an effort to attract talent, the Doordarshan has decided to review its fee structure for the artists.
II. The fee structure should not be revised until other electronics media also revise it

Video Solution

Solution

The basic premise is related to having solutions in hand that will allow Doordarshan to attract better talent for its programmes.

Statement 1 is a valid course of action since a revised pay structure would attract better talent as Doordarshan's pay structure will be better when compared to its competitors.

Statement 2 is invalid, since this will not let Doordarshan to stand out among the competitors.

(vii) F and D are male teachers. F is unmarried.

Question 86

Which subject does F teach?

Video Solution

Solution

The information shall be represented as Name (Subject, Married/Unmarried, Gender)

From the given information, we can form the following conclusions:

1. C (Social Science, Married, _) and _(Chemistry, Married, _) are married to each other. The unknown person cannot be E or G.

2. A (Maths, Married, Male) and _(_, Married, Female) are married to each other. A cannot be the husband of C because he shall teach Maths, and not Chemistry. Also, A's wife cannot be G because his wife shall not teach Physics. Hence, G shall be unmarried.

3. E (Zoology, _, Female) and G (Physics, Unmarried, Physics) as per the given data.

Here, C's partner cannot be B either because he/she cannot teach chemistry while C's partner does. Further, F is unmarried. This leaves us with only one option for C's partner (Chemistry), which is D.

Therefore, C (Social Science, Married, Female) and D(Chemistry, Married, Male) are married to each other. The other couple has to be A (Maths, Married, Male) and E(Zoology, Married, Female) because there are only three females, E, G, and C, out of which G is unmarried and C is married to D.

As of now, we have the following data:

1. C (Social Science, Married, Female) and D(Chemistry, Married, Male) are married to each other.

2. A (Maths, Married, Male) and E(Zoology, Married, Female) are married to each other.

3. G (Physics, Unmarried, Female)

Now, F (_, Unmarried, Male) and B (_, Unmarried, Male). Now, B cannot teach Chemistry or Commerce. Hence, F shall definitely teach commerce.

Hence, the final point shall be: F (Commerce, Unmarried, Male) and B (_, Unmarried, Male).
