Directions: Assume the statement is true. Decide which course(s) of action logically follow for pursuing.

Statement: Every year, at the beginning or at the end of the monsoons, we have some cases of conjunctivitis, but this year it seems to be a major epidemic, witnessed after nearly four years.

Course I: Precautionary measures should be taken after every four years to check this epidemic.

Course II: People should be advised to drink boiled water during the rainy season.

  1. A.

    Only I follows

  2. B.

    Only II follows

  3. C.

    Either I or II follows

  4. D.

    Neither I nor II follows

Attempted by 1042 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Correct answer: Neither I nor II follows

  • Course I does not follow: the statement says conjunctivitis cases occur every year around the monsoon, so waiting four years for precautionary measures is not logical.

  • Course II does not follow: boiled water may help with water-borne diseases, but the statement is about conjunctivitis, an eye infection. The course of action is not directly relevant to the given problem.

So, neither suggested course of action logically follows from the statement.
