Correct answer: B. If only II follows

  • A. If only I follow
  • 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 follows

Explanation

The correct answer is Option B: If only II follows. The statement highlights the issue of students from premier engineering colleges in Pakistan migrating to developed nations. Course of action I suggests binding students to stay in Pakistan for 20 years, which is unrealistic and infringes on personal freedom, making it impractical. On the other hand, course of action II proposes requiring students who wish to settle abroad to reimburse the government for the subsidized education costs. This approach is more feasible and respects the students' autonomy while ensuring that the government recovers its investment in education. Therefore, only course of action II logically follows and addresses the issue effectively.

About Alcohols and Phenols

Alcohols are classified as primary, secondary or tertiary and studied through their hydrogen bonding, acidity, oxidation and reactions with active metals, acids and halogenating agents. Phenols require separate treatment because the hydroxyl group is attached to an aromatic ring, making their acidity and electrophilic substitution different from ordinary alcohols.
