Question
In the question below, few statements are given
depicting an issue or a problem. You have to assume everything in the statements to be true even if they are at variance from commonly known facts, and on the basis of the information given in the statements, decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: A national-level entrance exam scheduled for Sunday was postponed after the exam authority detected that a set of question papers had been leaked online. The authority stated that securing exam integrity was the top priority. Courses of Action: I. The exam authority should launch an internal probe to identify how the leak occurred. II. Students should protest against the exam authority for postponing the exam. III. The exam authority should strengthen the security protocol for storing and transporting question papers.Solution
Course I is logical: investigating the cause of the leak is essential. Course III also logically follows: better security protocols will prevent future leaks. Course II does not follow: students protesting does not solve the problem or improve exam integrity. Therefore, both Courses I and III logically follow.
