Question 51
HardOriginal questionStatement: Long queues form at the ticket counter of the Sitapur museum every Sunday morning, and many visitors leave without going in.
Courses of action:
I. The museum should open an extra ticket counter on Sunday mornings.
II. The museum should raise its ticket prices on Sundays to reduce the crowd.
Which courses of action follow?
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
I follows: an extra counter shortens the queue, so fewer visitors give up and leave.
II does not follow: the problem is that visitors are being lost. Raising prices would drive more of them away, which works against the museum's aim.
So only I follows.
Worth noting
A course of action must solve the problem as the statement frames it. Here the loss is visitors, so a step that loses more visitors does not follow.
