Critical Thinking MCQs

Question 1

In this section of logical deduction, the question consists of a brief passage (usually a report containing certain data regarding some social or economic problem), followed by certain inferences based on it. The student is required to analyze the contents (or data) of the passage and grasp the desirable facts from it. Then, student has to consider each of the given inferences in the context of the given passage. decide upon its degree of truth or falsity and then choose the hest alternative provided accordingly. In the overall economy of Pakistan, agriculmre is the largest sector of economic activity.

The water resources of our country are very much underutilized. The main reason of this underutilization is the lack of capital and technology. A large portion of our water resources is wasted due to floods and unwise use of water for irrigation as well as domestic purposes. We can make full use of our water resources by building dams on rivers and by adopting policy of awareness among people not to waste water. Our country has large areas to be irrigated and much water is wasted.

The average turn-around time for ships docking at most of the ports in Pakistan has been falling for the past three years. However, pre-berthing time has been marginally increasing over the years. The best port in the world is located in the United Provincials of America.

Our country needs about nine to ten percent of yearly increase in power capacity. That from the present 86000 MW we have today, we require an additional 8000 to 10000Mw every year. The private industries or fomigners may contribute by 1000 MW to 2000 MW. So, basically 90 percent of the capacity addition will have to be done by public sector companies. But government cannot continuously give money for this. This means that the tariff bas to be regulated to generate money, not based on the cost of 25 years ago. If this happens, optional utilization of power will take place. It will not be wasted. Through adequate provisions of funds were made but they remained unspent. Presently some power is being wasted as the tariff is low.
