Statement: The Indian High Commission in Antigua and Barbuda had asked the authorities there to stop billionaire diamond trader Mehul Choksi from travelling around the world, sources said on Monday. Courses of Action: I. All billionaire diamond traders should immediately stop travelling to Antigua and Barbuda for the time being. II. Mehul Choksi should seek asylum in some other country to avoid being caught. III. The Indian High Commissioner should himself go and arrest Mehul Choksi.

1. If only course of action I follows
2. If only course of action II follows
3. If none of them follow
4. If both II and III follow

Correct answer: If none of them follow

Solution

Course I is too broad and unrelated to the specific issue of Mehul Choksi. Course II is not a logical or justified action from the statement, and Course III is impossible because a High Commissioner cannot arrest someone himself. Hence, none of the given courses of action follows.
