IBPS PO General Awareness: Statement and Course of Action questions with solutions

Q1. Statement: The India Meteorological Department has forecasted that there will be a flood situation in City A within the next 15 days. Courses of Action: I. The population of City A should move to City B within the next 15 days to get rid of the problem. II. The people of City A are advised to preserve necessary items for future consumption.

1. Only II
2. Both I and II
3. Only I
4. Neither I nor II

Answer: Only II

Course II is sensible because people can prepare for a possible flood by storing necessary items. Course I is too extreme and impractical because it suggests moving the entire population to another city without confirming the severity or necessity of evacuation.
