Question: In each question given below, a statement is followed by three courses of action numbered 1, 2 and 3. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the three suggested courses of action logically follow(s).
Statement:
In a recent bulletin the Meteorological Department of India has forecasted severe drought in next cropping season which may cause failure of crops.
Courses of action:
i. The forecast should be widely published in media.
ii. The drought relief team should be ready for relief work.
iii. The people should be advised to go for drought resistant variety.
Action 1 would only create unnecessary hype and criticism. Moreover, it does not do anything to solve or prevent the issue.
Statement 2 is a perfect action considering the nature of the drought and the damage it can cause.
Statement 3 is also logical. It is a preventive action for the forthcoming predicament.
Hence, option (c).
