Statement: A few students of Vasant Vihar College were found using their phones during the mid-term examination.

Courses of action:

I. Mobile phones should be banned on the college campus for all students.

II. The mid-term examination should be cancelled for every student in the college.

Which courses of action follow?

Explanation

1. 01

   I does not follow: the problem is phones in the examination hall, not phones on campus. A campus-wide ban for every student goes far beyond it.

2. 02

   II does not follow: cancelling the examination for everyone punishes the many honest students for what a few did, and it does not stop phones being used next time.

3. 03

   Neither I nor II follows. A sensible course would be to collect phones before students enter the examination hall.
