Statement:
In winters, trains are usually late due to fog. It reduces their speed to two-
third of the original speed which is in summers when there is no fog.
Courses of Action:
I. Passengers should check the status of the train before coming to station

passengers get late just because of them.A. Only course of action I follow
B. Only course of action II follows
C. Both the course of action follows
D. Neither course of action fallows
E. Data inadequate
Answer ||| A
Solution ||| Fog is a natural phenomenon; so one cannot do anything when it
comes to nature. By decreasing the speed of trains, the drivers ensure that
trains should not be prone to accidents. The first course of action is advisable
to the general public while the second is impractical.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
3.An assertion (A) and a reason (R) are given below.
Assertion (A): The sale of Mobile phones has increased manifold in recent
times.
Reason (R): The craze for e-commerce drives mobile sales.
Choose the correct option.

B. A is true, but R is false
C. A is false, but R is true.
D. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
Answer ||| B
Solution |||
Here, Assertion is right but reason does not justify the assertion. The
demand of mobile phones is increasing because of revolution of internet and
digitalization.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
4.Direction: In the following question, two statements are given each
followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to consider the statements to
be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly non facts. You
have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follow from the given
statements.
Statements :
I. 28 athletes are facing legal cases due to doping incidents.
II. The new wave of Olympics doping cases is based on evidences.
Conclusions :
I. The report of doping is based on the test that happen.
II. Doping practice is very common these days among athletes.
A. Only conclusion II follows
B. Conclusion I and II both follows
C. Neither I nor II follows
D. Only conclusion I follows
Answer ||| C
Solution ||| In statement II it is mentioned that ‘The new wave of Olympics
doping cases is based on evidences’ which means we are not sure whether
the test happened or not but the evidences were found so the cases were
filed. Thus conclusion I doesn’t follow.
Though it is given in statement I that ‘28 athletes are facing legal cases due
to doping incidents’ we cannot say that doping practice is very common
these days among athletes as 28 is not that big number to conclude that to
be a common practice.
Hence, option C is correct.

|||Common||| Direction: In the question below a statement followed by two
courses of Action. On the basis of information given in statement, you have

suggested course of action is worth pursuing. |||End|||
Statement:
In the road accidents, the pillion riders are receiving more head injuries than
the driver.
Courses of actions:
I. Pillion riders should also wear the helmet.
II. The current rule should be reversed so that the helmet is made
compulsory for the pillion riders but not the drivers.
A. Only I follow.
B. Both I and II follow.
C. Only II follow.
D. Either I or II follow.
E. Neither I nor II follow.
Answer ||| A
Solution ||| It is given in the sentence that the pillion riders are receiving
more head injuries. Wearing a helmet can save them from head injuries.
Thus, the first course of actions makes sense. The second course of actions
is illogical as it causes a new problem i.e. injuries to the driver. So II is not a
proper course of action.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.

Course of action: I. This prestigious award should not be given to him as he
always criticizes most of the government policy.(It does not follow as one can
praise or criticize government’s policy.)
II. This prestigious award should be given to him as his "Peak Time"
programme "deals with real-life, under-reported problems of ordinary

So, Only II follows.
9.A statement is given followed by two course of action. Candidate

ll. Keep all unemployed youth arrested till they get jobs. A. Only I follows
B. Only II follows
C. Either I or ll follows
D. Neither I nor Il follows
E. Both I and ll follow

youth are taking to terrorism. Hence, course of action I would mitigate the
problem of terrorism. Hence, I follows. Course of action ll may solve the
problem of terrorism but it violates human rights. Hence, II does not follow as
it creates a new problem.

answer as: |||End|||
Statement:
Less than a year after the Elphinstone Road station stampede, which claimed
39 lives, heavy rain caused the already-weakened pedestrian section of the
busy Gokhale bridge, connecting Andheri West to Andheri East to collapse
onto the tracks.
Courses of Action:
I. The government should ensure that before the monsoon period starts, all
the weakened and wobbly sections of any kind of bridge are repaired.
II. Immediate steps must be taken to make sure that the debris of the
collapsed bridge are removed as soon as possible to avoid disrupting
everyday life.
III. A new bridge should be constructed immediately to make life easier for
the public.A. If only course of action I follows
B. If only course of action II follows
C. If both I and II follow
D. If both II and III follow
E. If none of them follow
Answer ||| C
Solution ||| Both courses of action I and II follow. It is the responsibility of the
civic bodies to make sure that the bridges are in a right condition before the
start of the monsoons. Similarly, it is also their responsibility to ensure that
the debris are now removed as soon as possible to avoid disrupting everyday
life. III does not follow because immediately constructing another bridge to
replace the collapsed one is not something that can happen easily.
Constructing a bride takes a lot of time, so expecting a new bridge to be
constructed immediately is not a feasible solution. Therefore, option C is the
correct answer.

II. The advance effect of climate change is due to only CO 2.
A. Neither I nor II follows
B. Only conclusion I follow
C. Both I and II follow
D. Only conclusion II follows
Answer ||| A
Solution ||| Climate change depends upon several factors, and greenhouse
gases are one of them. So, the removal of greenhouse gases solely cannot
help in the control of climate change. Hence, conclusion I will not follow.
CO2 is the major constituent of greenhouse gases. So it can be clearly
concluded that the advance effect of climate change is due to only CO 2. Thus,
conclusion II will not follow.
Hence, the correct option is A.
