Solutions
(6-10):
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Action I does not follow as
all companies have to close their operations which lead to problem.
Action II also does not follows as it is taking about losses from the
project. Action III also does not relate to the situation. So, none
of the action I, II and III follows.
S7.
Ans.(a)
Sol. Providing security to all the temples is
impractical. So course of action I does not follow. A special task
force should be constituted to nab the culprits helpful. So, people’s
participation will certainly be helpful. So courses of action II and
III follow.
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. From the statement,
it is clear that decision makers do not know anything about the poor,
so either they should go to the grass root levels or a new set of
decision makes should replace them. So, either I or III follows.
S9.
Ans.(c)
Sol. Argument I and IV are strong because the rule
of wearing helmet for both driver and pillion rider while driving a
motorbike should be followed strictly by all. It protects our head
which is most sensitive organ of human body.
S10.
Ans.(c)
Sol. Arguments I and III are strong because many
farmers earn more money than service class people and a huge among of
tax can be collected if income tax is implemented on farmers and as
mostly farmers suffer from natural calamities so, making agricultural
activities under the tax boundary would not be in favour of farmers.
