A course of action is a practicable and feasible step or administrative decision to be taken for follow – up, improvement, or further action in regard to the problem, policy, etc. On the basis of the information given in the statement, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follows(s) pursuing.

    Statement: Despite assurances that the differential cut-off system will be done away with, the Education Department has not issued any circular to this effect.

    Courses of Action

    I. This means that the increasingly unpopular system of different cut-off for girls and boys will continue.

    II. It is unfair to have separate cut-offs for boys and girls and only Merit based admission is the ideal way to ensure equality.

    A if only I follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B if only II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C if either I or II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D if neither I nor II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E if both I and II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Because no circular has been issued, it means differential cut-offs will continue. There is nothing mentioned about the ideal situation, hence Option 1 is the correct answer.
