21. Statement : Youngsters are often found staring at obscene posters.Courses of Action :
I. Children should be punished and penalized if they are found doing so.
II. Any display of such material should be banned.


Option”B” is correct

Bad things attract more and punishment after the act has been committed is no remedy. The act should be prevented. So, only course II follows.

22. Statement : One of the problems facing the food processing industry is the irregular supply of raw material. The producers of raw material are not getting a reasonable price.

Courses of Action :
I. The government should regulate the supply of raw material to other industries also.
II. The government should announce an attractive package to ensure regular supply of raw material for food processing industry.


Option”B” is correct

Clearly, to remedy the problem of food processing industry, a regular supply of raw material should be ensured. So, course II follows.

23. Statement : The Committee has criticized the Institute for its failure to implement a dozen of regular programmes despite an increase in the staff strength and not drawing up a firm action plan for studies and research.

Courses of Action :
I. The broad objectives of the Institute should be redefined to implement a practical action plan.
II. The Institute should give a report on reasons for not having implemented the planned programmes.


Option”E” is correct

The problem is that despite an increase in staff strength, the Institute has failed in its objective of implementing its plan. So, either there should be reasons for the lackening or the plans are a failure and must be revised for practical implementation. Thus, both the courses follow.

24. Statement : India has been continuously experiencing military threats from its neighbouring countries.

Courses of Action :
I. India should engage into an all out war to stop the nagging threats.
II. India should get the neighbours into a serious dialogue to reduce the tension at its borders.


Option”B” is correct

Clearly, war is the last resort. First, peaceful talks and negotiations should be indulged in, to settle the issues of dispute. So, only course II follows.

25. Statement : As many as ten coaches of a passenger train have derailed and blocked both pairs of the railway tracks.

Courses of Action :
I. The railway authorities should immediately send men and equipment to the spot to clear the railway tracks.
II. All the trains running in both the directions should be diverted to other routes.


Option”E” is correct

The situation demands first diverting other trains to different routes so as to avert any accident, and then clearing the tracks as soon as possible. Thus, both the courses follow.

26. Statement : The Secretary lamented that the electronic media was losing its credibility and that it should try to regain it by establishing better communications with the listeners and the viewers. He also emphasised the need for training to improve the functioning.

Courses of Action :
I. Efforts should be made to get organised feed back on the programme.
II. The critical areas in which the staff requires training should be identified.


Option”E” is correct

Clearly, both the courses directly follow from the pre-requisites mentioned in the statement.

27. Statement : Courts take too long in deciding important disputes of various departments.

Courses of Action :
I. Courts should be ordered to speed up matters.
II. Special powers should be granted to officers to settle disputes concerning their department.


Option”E” is correct

Clearly, either the work in the court needs to be speeded up or the system be reorganised so that more number of problems can be resolved at the lower levels itself, to provide speedy justice to the people. So, both the courses follow.

28. Statement : Certain mining industries in Gujarat may come to a standstill because of the notification issued by the Department of Environment and Forest banning mining operations and industries alike within 25 kms of National Park, the game sanctuary and reserve forest areas.

Courses of Action :
I. The Department should be asked to immediately withdraw the notification.
II. The Government should make effort to shift the parks, sanctuaries and reserve forests to other non-mining areas.


Option”D” is correct

Clearly, none of the courses of action follows because firstly, the notification is issued to protect the natural environment and so cannot be withdrawn and secondly, the sanctuaries etc. cannot be shifted.

29. Statement : There have been many instances of derailment of trains due to landslide in the hilly areas which caused loss of many lives.

Courses of Action :
I. The railway authority should arrange to deploy pilot engines before the movement of passenger trains in the hilly areas to alert the trains in case of any landslide.
II. The railway authority should strengthen the hill slopes by putting iron meshes so that the loose boulders do not fall on the track.


Option”C” is correct

Clearly, either something should be done to alert the trains well in advance in case of a landslide or some means should be adopted to prevent blockage of tracks during landslides. Thus, either I or II follows.

30. Statement : India today is midstream in its demographic transaction. In the last 60 years there has been an almost continuous decline in mortality; while fertility has declined over the last 20 years. The consequence is that there has been a rapid growth in population over the last 50 years.

Courses of Action :
I. India should immediately revitalise its family planning programme.
II. The Government should immediately launch a massive education programme through mass media highlighting the implication of population growth at the present rate.


Option”E” is correct

Clearly, to face the problem of the ever-growing population, an effective family planning programme, for the people to have small families, is a must. Education shall further stress the advantages of having lesser number of children and the disasters of the fast growth in population. Thus, both the courses follow.
