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: Andhra Pradesh has the worst literacy rate among the Indian states. Courses of Action: I: The literacy rate of Andhra Pradesh stands at 67.41%. II: Approximately 750 million people over the age of 15 still lack basic reading and writing skills in the world. Correct Answer Neither I nor II follows

From the statement above, we understand that Andhra Pradesh stands at the lowest rank of literacy among the other Indian states. In order to improve these conditions many actions can be taken.

I does not follow as it is not a course of action rather it is a general fact about the literacy condition of the state.

Similarly, II also does not follow as it mentions the number of people in the world who don’t have the basic reading and writing skills. This is not a course of action to be followed after the above mentioned statement.

Hence, Neither I nor II follows.

Statement: The numbers are impressive. In its quest towards Swachh Bharat, the government has built 4.98 crore rural household latrines in the last three years. What's more, recent surveys by the NSSO and the Quality Council of India show that over 90% people with access to toilets are using them. Launched with the idea of Clean India, it is expanding from urban to the rural areas and is spreading awareness among the masses. Courses of action: I. Given that most rural areas in India lack proper drainage and a sewage network, the government has focused on building twin-pit toilets. But there is no data on whether the size of hastily built twin pits takes into account the number of users, and whether each pit is enough to collect waste for three years.  II. While this is a positive indicator, there are many other areas that need attention such as the shortage of water, sensitization of citizens, proper maintenance and usage of toilets, and overcoming the resistance to dry manure made from human waste.  III. One of the biggest challenges for Swachh Bharat in rural areas is managing liquid waste, which pollutes natural water bodies. Though the scheme covers this aspect as well, the immediate focus is to deal with open defecation.

Starting that year, ships will use marine fuel, which primarily consists of residual fuel oil, with a maximum sulphur content of 0.5 percent under International Maritime Organization (IMO) rules to reduce air pollution.  II. Currently, the global shipping fleet, which includes oil and chemical tankers as well as container ships, uses as much as 3.3 million barrels per day of HSFO with a maximum of 3.5 percent sulphur.  III. Refiners will have little incentive to produce HSFO after the regulations though some demand will remain as a small but growing number of vessels are fitted with smokestack scrubbers that remove the sulphur from the exhaust fumes and power plants will continue to consume the fuel.

Statement: The rupee may slump to a new low this year amid global policy uncertainties while domestic interest rates will remain elevated, raising borrowing costs, according to an ET poll of 20 market participants. Nearly three-fourths of the respondents believe the local unit could touch 69 to the dollar with some even pointing to 70 by December-end. The rupee is one of the worst-performing emerging market currencies this year, having lost about 6.7 per cent to the greenback to close at 68.13 on Monday. Courses of action: I. Indian corporates may borrow less ahead of elections with the likely benchmark rate at 8 per cent or more. Half the poll participants were of the opinion that the benchmark yield will either hover around that level or rise further. II. External factors coupled with domestic macro measures like weak current account deficit or fiscal deficit are likely to impact the rupee. The US Fed seems to be on course to raise rates.  III. Upcoming elections trigger a bit of policy uncertainty. A cocktail of factors including dollar strengthening, foreign fund outflows, general emerging market weakness and oil would continue to weigh on the rupee.
