Question
In the questions 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: Over the past month, several villages located near the river Narmada have reported severe water contamination. Residents complain of foul smell and unusual colour in the drinking water, and many cases of stomach infections have been recorded. Courses of Action: I. The health department should immediately arrange for clean drinking water to be supplied to the affected villages. II. The government should permanently shut down all industries located within 50 kilometres of the river. III. An investigation should be launched to identify the exact source of contamination in the river.Solution
Course of Action I logically follows. The problem clearly states that drinking water is contaminated, and people are falling ill. Providing clean water immediately is the most urgent step to protect public health. Course of Action II does not logically follow. Shutting down all industries within 50 km is extreme and unreasonable without evidence that all of them are responsible. It is not directly justified by the given information. Course of Action III logically follows. Identifying the source of contamination is essential for solving the problem in the long term and preventing recurrence. Hence, (III) is a valid course of action. Thus, the correct answer is Only I and III → Option C.
