Courses of action :
I. Management may seek opinion of the employees before calling retired professors.
II. Management should involve experienced people for the systematic restructuring of the organisations.

(A) if only I follows

(B) if only II follows

(C) if either I or II follows

(D) if neither I nor II follows

(E) if both I and II follow

Ans: B

Clearly, the statement stresses that the contribution of retired Professors shall be beneficial. This means that these people’s experience regarding working of the organisation is helpful. So, only course II follows.

Question: 2

Statement :
Severe drought is reported to have set in several parts of the country.

Question: 5

Statement :
Due to substantial reduction in fares by different airline services, large number of passengers so far travelling by upper classes in trains have switched over to airline services.
Courses of action :
I. The railways should immediately reduce the fare structure of the upper classes substantially to retain its passengers.
II. The railways should reduce the capacity of upper classes in all the trains to avoid loss.

(B) if only II follows

(C) if either I or II follows

(D) if neither I nor II follows

(E) if both I and II follow

Ans: A

Airlines, being convenient and faster means of transport, people would surely prefer it to the railways if there is a marginal difference between the fares. Hence, a considerable gap between the two fares is a must for the railways. So, course I follows. Following course II would reduce the volume of passengers. Hence II does not follow.
