In this question, a statement is given followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. It is required to grasp the statement, analyze the problem or policy it mentions and then decide which of the courses of action logically follow / most appropriate.Statement:The killer enteric fever has so far claimed 100 lives in some tribal villages during the past three weeks.Courses of action:I) The residents of these villages should immediately be shifted to a non-infected area.II) The Government should immediately send a medical squad to this area, restrict spread of the killer disease.
Correct answer: B. If only II follows
- 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
Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: If only II follows. Sending a medical squad is crucial as it directly addresses the control and treatment of the disease, helping to contain the outbreak and prevent further casualties. Option I, while potentially reducing immediate exposure by relocating residents, does not deal with the cause or control of the disease, making it less effective as a standalone measure. Furthermore, relocation can be logistically challenging and may not be feasible for all residents. Therefore, the most appropriate immediate course of action is to send medical help, as stated in Option II.
