Direction: Given here is 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).

Courses of Action:
(I) The Maharashtra Government should compensate the affected persons with reasonable amount
(II) The Maharashtra Government should stop beautification and economic development work immediately
  1. If only course of action (I) follows
  2. If only course of action (II) follows
  3. If both (I) and (II) follow
  4. If neither course of action (I) nor (II) follows

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - If only course of action (I) follows
Clearing slums displaces residents, so compensating them reasonably is a logical, practical step (I follows). Stopping the beautification and development work altogether is an extreme reaction that does not follow (II does not). Only I follows.
