Question

Statement : In one of the worst accidents in railway level crossing fifty people died when a bus carrying them collided on to a running train.
Conclusions of action:
I. The train driver should immediately be suspended.
II. The driver of the bus should be tried in court for negligence on his part.
III. The railway authority should be asked to man all its level crossings.
A statement is followed by three courses of action numbered I, II, and III. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true. Decide which course(s) of action logically follow(s) for pursuing from the given options marked (a), (b), (c) and (d).

• A. None follows
• B. Only I and II follow
• C. Only III follow
• D. Only II and III follow

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Only II and III follow

Answer 2

Conclusion I : The train driver should not be immediately suspended without a thorough investigation. The cause of the accident may not be the driver's fault, so this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion II : The driver of the bus should be tried in court for negligence. This follows logically, as the bus driver is responsible for ensuring safety at level crossings.
Conclusion III : The railway authority should indeed be asked to man all its level crossings to enhance safety and prevent such accidents in the future. This conclusion also follows.

So, the correct option is (D): Only II and III follow.
