Solutions

S1. Ans. (e)
Sol. The problem is that despite an increase in staff strength, the Institute has failed in its objective of implementing its plan. So, either there should be reasons for the lacking or the plans are a failure and must be revised for practical implementation.

S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. Clearly, the situation demands that efforts be made to remove the lacking in the present system of education and adequate measures be taken to improve the performance of students. Harsh measures as those given in I and II, won’t help. So, none of the given courses follows.
