Question and options

Direction: In this question, a statement is followed by two Courses of action numbered I, 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 course of action logically follow(s) for pursuing
Statement: Severe drought is reported to have set in several parts of the country
Course of action:
(I) Government should immediately make arrangement for providing financial assistance to those affected
(II) Food, water and fodder should immediately be sent to all these areas to save the people and cattle
  1. Only (I) follows
  2. Only (II) follows
  3. Both (I) and (II) follow
  4. Neither (I) nor (II) follows

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - Only (II) follows
In a severe drought, the immediate priority is to sustain life by sending food, water and fodder to the affected areas to save people and cattle, so course of action (II) follows. Distributing immediate financial assistance does not directly address the acute shortage of essential supplies and is not a practical first emergency response, so (I) does not follow. Thus, only (II) follows.
