In each question below are 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 courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing. Give answer (a) If only I follows; (b) If only II follows, (c) If either I or II follows; (d) If neither I nor II follows and (e) If both I and II follow.
Every year, at the beginning or at the end of the monsoons, there are some cases of conjunctivitis, but this year, it appears to be a major epidemic, the first such occurrence in nearly four years.
Courses of action:
I. Precautionary measures should be implemented every four years to control this epidemic.
II. People should be advised to wash their eyes with clean water.

Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The statement mentions that conjunctivitis cases occur every year around the monsoon season, but this year it has become a major epidemic after nearly four years.

2. Course I suggests taking precautionary measures every four years. However, since the disease occurs annually, waiting four years to take action is not logical or effective.

3. Course II recommends advising people to wash their eyes with clean water, which is a practical preventive step to reduce infection.

4. Therefore, only Course II logically follows based on the information given.

**Answer:** If only II follows.
