A statement and two actions numbered from I and II are given below. You have to take all the information given in the statement to be true and on the basis of the information given in the statement decide which of the proposed course of action logically follows from the statement. Statement: The construction industries in North Karnataka are facing acute water shortage. Actions: I. Government should take steps to solve the water crisis. II. Construction industries should be closed to save water. Correct Answer Only 1 follows

The statement highlights the water shortage problem faced by the construction industries in North Karnataka.

  • Action I suggests that the government take some steps to address this situation. Since there is a problem, it is reasonable to look for ways to resolve it. Thus, action 1 follows.
  • Action II stands illogical with respect to the statement since it says that the construction industries be closed to save water, while the problem of water shortage is faced by those industries themselves. Construction industries are also important for the economy and the citizens. Thus, action II does not follow.

Hence the correct answer is option 4.

Statement: India’s pharmaceutical sector is now popping out from a shell and making a remarkable recovery. Actually, it has been facing several regulatory challenges in the forms of a recast of foreign direct investment (FDI) policy, pricing policy in the US generics market, patent protection, regulatory approvals and compulsory licensing. Also limited new product launches in the generics space, GST introduction and higher costs associated with regulatory compliance have hurt the sector. Courses of action: I. The government has been engrossed more in policy making and taking resilient decisions for the concerns of the pharma industry. Recently, the government proposed to introduce a new price index for pharmaceutical products, which would serve as a benchmark for determining prices of all medicines sold in the country. II. Meanwhile, pharma companies’ constant investments in R&D have enabled them to develop a basket of robust products for markets across the world. In international markets, pricing pressure on generics sold in the US has eased and this is likely to support the sector. III. Domestic pharma sales grew to Rs. 10,583 crore in May 2018 from Rs. 9,549 crore in the same month last year. The recent clearance by the US Food and Drug Administration to Sun Pharma’s manufacturing plant at Halol in Gujarat brings to an end a two-year import ban it had imposed on the company over quality issues. This is likely to increase sales for the company.
