Question

In this question, there is a statement followed by three courses of action numbered I, II and III. Assuming everything in the statement to be true, which of the three courses of action is logical to follow?
Statement : Faced with a source crunch and a depression overall economic scenario, State Y is unlikely to achieve the targeted per cent compound growth rate during the 9th Plan. Course of action :
I. The targeted growth plan should be reduced for the 10th plan.
II. The reasons for the failure should be studied.
III. The performance of State ‘Y’ should be compared with other states.

• A. Only I and II follow
• B. Only II and III follow
• C. Only I follows
• D. All follow

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Statement I suggests that reducing the growth target for the next plan, which is a logical step if the state is not able to achieve current targets due to resource limitations.

Statement II suggests that analyzing the reasons for failure, which is crucial for understanding and addressing the underlying issues.

Statement III suggests that comparing performance with other states, which can provide insights and benchmarking for better planning in the future.

So,
Statement I Reducing the target for the next plan should be a decision based on careful analysis rather than an immediate course of action.

Statement II Studying the reasons for failure and comparing performance with other states (III) are logical and essential steps.

The correct option is (B): Only II and III follow
