In the question below, are given a statement followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the following suggested courses of actions logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: High-sulphur fuel oil (HSFO), essentially the leftovers of an oil refiner's output, will still flow from refineries around the world even after new rules start up in 2020 curtailing its use in the global shipping fleet.Sixty percent of the 33 refineries in a global survey will still produce HSFO in 2020 although the supply will tighten as 70 percent of these refiners plan to reduce their output.  Courses of action: I. 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. ?

In the question below, a statement is given, followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the suggested course of action logically follow (s) for pursuing. Statement: Led by a strong response to its first super sports utility vehicle Urus, Italian sports car maker Lamborghini is likely to more than double its volumes in India by the end of 2019, a year ahead of its plan, and cross the milestone of 50-60 vehicles per annum. The company, which began deliveries for Urus in India in September, said the vehicle is already booked for the coming six-nine months in India much like the global markets, and it will help Lamborghini get new. customers into its fold. Courses of action: I. The company is planning not to increase the price of its vehicle despite significant rupee depreciation and wants to protect the attractive price of Urus for prospective buyers.  II. The super sports utility vehicle will drive volumes, super sports cars such as Huracan and Aventador will grow by 8-10%. The company feels an 8-10% growth in the segment is a realistic expectation in spite of the challenges.  III. More than 68% of Urus buyers are first-time Lamborghini buyers and makers are sure that this will have a positive rub-off effect on the super sports car segment too.?
