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 survey conducted by the National Transport Authority revealed that a large number of road accidents in the last year were caused due to drivers using mobile phones while driving. The report states that despite strict laws, mobile phone usage behind the wheel continues to rise. Courses of Action:
I. The government should completely ban the sale of mobile phones for at least six months.
II. Traffic police should increase enforcement and impose heavier fines on drivers found using mobile phones while driving.
III. The government should launch a nationwide awareness campaign informing people about the dangers of using mobile phones while driving.
Solution
The problem described is road accidents caused by mobile phone usage while driving. (II) logically follows because stricter enforcement and heavier penalties would directly address the issue. (III) also follows because awareness campaigns educate the public and reduce risky behaviour. (I) is illogical; banning sale of mobile phones is extreme and unrelated to enforcement of their use while driving. Thus, Only II and III → Option D.
