Q1:

Statement: There have been many instances of derailment of trains due to landslide in the hilly areas which caused loss of many lives. Courses of Action:
  1. The railway authority should arrange to deploy pilot engines before the movement of passenger trains in the hilly areas to alert the trains in case of any landslide.
  2. The railway authority should strengthen the hill slopes by putting iron meshes so that the loose boulders do not fall on the track.

A Only I follows

B Only II follows

C Either I or II follows

D Neither I nor II follows

E Both I and II follow

ANS:C - Either I or II follows

Explanation: Clearly, either something should be done to alert the trains well in advance in case of a landslide or some means should be adopted to prevent blockage of tracks during landslides. Thus, either I or II follows.
