    Question

    A statement is given, followed by two courses of action I and II. You must assume everything in the statement to be true, and on the basis of the information given in the statement, decide which suggested course of action logically follow(s).

    Statement: The influx of apples imported from California in Indian stores has considerably reduced the demand for indigenous apples, which tend to be of an inferior quality.

    Course of Action:

    I. The government should force Indian stores to stop selling the imported apples and incentivise them to sell Indian apples.

    II. To help indigenous apple growers, the government should impose high import duties on imported apples.

    A Only I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both I and Il follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The statement says that the imported apples are of a better quality. Thus, to compete against them, Indian apple growers should take steps to improve the quality of their apples. Both of the options provided are unethical and should not be pursued. So, neither I nor II follows.   Hence, the correct answer is (D).
