Question
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. Β Statement: Several road accidents occur every night on the highway due to the absence of proper street lighting, leading to frequent injuries and loss of life. Courses of Action: I. The highway authorities should immediately install adequate street lights along the entire stretch of the road. II. Drivers should be advised to avoid travelling on the highway at night until lighting facilities are improved.Solution
The problem highlights that absence of proper lighting is causing frequent accidents. Installing street lights (Course I) directly addresses the root cause, so I follows. Advising drivers to avoid night travel temporarily (Course II) is a preventive measure to reduce accidents until permanent solutions are implemented, so II also follows. Thus, both the immediate preventive action and the long-term corrective action are appropriate.
