Asked in Premeth Test 13 — Aldehydes and KetonesModerate

Statement: Many medical and engineering graduates are taking up jobs in administration and banks. Courses of action:I. All professionals should be advised to refrain from taking up such jobs. II. The government should appoint a committee to find out the reasons for this trend and suggest remedial measures.

Correct answer: B. If only II is most appropriate

  • A. If only I is most appropriate
  • B. If only II is most appropriate
  • C. If either I or II is most appropriate
  • D. If neither I nor II is most appropriate

Explanation

Simply advising professionals (Action I) is unlikely to be effective. To solve a complex socio-economic problem, it is first necessary to understand its root causes. Appointing a committee to investigate (Action II) is the most logical step toward developing effective, long-term solutions.
