Directions: In the question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. 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 course of action logically follow(s) for pursuing.

Statement: Usually cancer in Indians gets detected at the last stage because of which the mortality rate is high.

Courses of Action:

I.Subsidized routine health check-up camps should be held by the government making health check-up mandatory.

II.Screens should be installed at the roundabout making masses aware of carcinogenic agents.

1. Only I follows.
2. Only II follows.
3. Both I and II follow.
4. None of the above follow.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Only I follows.

Option 1; Only I follows.

The statement talks about the high mortality rate among Indians due to detection of cancer usually in the last stage.

Course of action I suggests that government should organize subsidized health check-up camps for mandatory health check-ups, this will help trace ailments especially cancer in early stages. Therefore,course of action I follows.

Course of action II suggests that screens spreading awareness about cancer-causing agents should be installed at roundabouts("chaurahas") all over the country. But this does not seem to help detect cancer earlier. This is more of a preventive measure which is not a suitable course of action with respect to the question statement. Therefore, course action II does not follow.

Hence,option 1 is correct.
