Courses of action:
I. The train driver should immediately be suspended.
II. The driver of the bus should be tried on court for negligence on his part.
III. The railway authority should be asked to man all its level crossings.
None follows
Only I and II follow
Only III follow
Only II and III follow
None of these
Solution:
The problem discussed in the statement is not regarding the current accident, but to do something to avert such mishaps. Accidents at railway crossings can be averted by deploying men to regulate traffic and installing barriers to check traffic movement when a train passes by. So, only III follows.
Q10. Statement: The Company X has rejected first lot of values supplied by Company A and has cancelled its entire huge order quoting use of inferior quality material and poor craftsmanship.
Courses of action:
I. The Company A needs to investigate functioning of its purchase, production and quality control departments.

Only II follow
II, and either I or III follow
All I, II and III follow
None of these
Solution:
First of all, company A should inspect the rejected valves to ensure if they are really sub-standard. If yes, it should scrutinize its working thoroughly and remove its lackenings, be it in the quality of raw material or craftsmanship. So, both I and II follow. III seems to be a far-off action which can be implemented only after the first two steps are put into practice. Thus, III does not follow.
