Question

The given statement is followed by some courses of action. Assuming the statement to be true, decide the correct option. Statement: There has been a significant drop in the water level in the lakes supplying water to the city. Course of action: (I) The water supply authority should impose a partial cut in supply to tackle the situation. (II) The government should appeal to all the residents through mass media for minimal use of water. (III) The government should ban the water supply in lower areas.

Correct answer (A) Statements I and II follow. Solution Course of action (I) is a logical and immediate step to conserve the remaining water supply. Course of action (II) is a proactive measure to reduce overall demand through public cooperation. Course of action (III) is discriminatory and not a standard or fair administrative response to a general water shortage. Therefore, only statements I and II follow. Turn this into a strength.
