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. A sudden outbreak of a fungal infection has severely affected wheat crops across several districts in Rajasthan. Farmers report that nearly 60% of their standing crop has been damaged, leading to fear of major financial losses. Courses of Action: I. The government should immediately send agricultural experts to assess the extent of crop damage and recommend remedial measures. II. Farmers should be advised to stop cultivating wheat in the future as it is prone to fungal infections. III. The affected farmers should be provided emergency financial assistance to help them recover from their losses.Solution
Course of Action I follows. Since there is a sudden outbreak damaging crops, sending agricultural experts to assess the situation and suggest remedies is a logical and necessary step. Course of Action II does not follow. Advising farmers to completely stop cultivating wheat is extreme and unreasonable. The issue is a fungal outbreak, not a permanent unsuitability of the crop. Course of Action III follows. Farmers have suffered major losses, so emergency financial support is a logical and sensible step to help them cope with the damage. Thus, the correct answer is Only I and III → Option C.
