In this type of question, some issue/controversy/problem is provided along with a statement, followed by some methods to solve the problem. Select the appropriate problem-solving method that can be applied.
Water supply is low in a city. The authorities have to decide between rationing and investing in short-term tanker distribution. What is the immediate dilemma?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
(1) Charge high fees for water
This does not solve the shortage problem.
It only makes water expensive for people.
(2) Start rationing permanently
The problem may be temporary, so permanent rationing is not a good immediate decision.
(3) Ignore and hope rain comes
This is not a solution, it is just waiting and doing nothing.
(4) Deploy tankers temporarily while fixing the main pipeline
It is practical and balanced.
Deploying tankers temporarily provides immediate water supply while repairing the pipeline solves the main problem.
Option (4) is the correct answer.
