Question
In the 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. Statement: A recent survey shows that the number of road accidents in the city has increased significantly due to rash driving and lack of traffic discipline among motorists. Courses of Action: I. The traffic police should conduct strict enforcement drives and impose heavy fines on violators. II. The government should ban the sale of all two-wheelers in the city.Solution
Strict enforcement and heavier penalties directly address the causes mentioned in the statement — rash driving and lack of discipline. Therefore, Course of Action I follows. Banning all two-wheelers is an extreme and impractical measure. It does not logically follow from the problem and would create additional issues. Therefore, Course of Action II does not follow. Thus, only Course of Action I follows .
