You have to assume everything in the statement to be true and on the basis of the information given in the statement, decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) 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.

    Courses of Action:

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

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

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

    Solution

    The disease occurs at the end of monsoons every year. So, precautionary measures every four years shall not help. The second course of action shall be a preventive measure. So, only course of action II follows.
