Question

Directions: In this question, a statement is followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. Consider everything in the statement to be true and decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing.
Statement: The government of state 'Y' has decided to remove hutments and buildings that have come up beside the roads to broaden them in city 'A'.
Courses of action:
I. The government of state 'Y' should rehabilitate the affected residents of hutments/buildings.
II. The government should compensate the residents of targeted houses with a reasonable amount.

• A. Only I follows
• B. Only II follows
• C. Either I or II follow
• D. Neither I nor II follow

Hint:

In course-of-action questions, if two alternatives separately solve the stated problem and neither is mandatory together, the answer is often “Either I or II.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the implication of the statement.
Road widening will \emph{displace} residents living in hutments/buildings along the roads. The government must take a humane/legally sound step for those affected.
Step 2: Evaluate Course I.
Rehabilitating the affected residents is a direct and valid remedy to displacement. It addresses relocation and basic resettlement needs. \(\Rightarrow\) Course I is a \emph{sound} course of action.
Step 3: Evaluate Course II.
Alternatively, compensating the affected residents with a reasonable amount is also a legitimate remedy. It lets residents arrange their own relocation using funds provided. \(\Rightarrow\) Course II is also \emph{sound}.
Step 4: Decide on “either” vs “both.”
Both remedies are not \emph{simultaneously necessary}; adopting any \emph{one} of them satisfies the obligation to redress displacement. The question asks what \emph{logically follow(s)}—and here, \emph{either} rehabilitation \emph{or} compensation would be appropriate. \(\Rightarrow\) Either I or II follow.
\(\boxed{\text{Either I or II follow}}\)
