Statement: The Government will slap legally enforceable penalties on coal companies defaulting on quantity of coal supplies to bulk consumers, especially to the thermal power stations.
Courses of action: I. The requirement of coal for thermal power stations should be assessed realistically.
II. The coal companies should introduce welfare measures for their employees.

Options

A. if only I follows,
B. if only II follows,
C. if either I or II follows,
D. if neither I nor II follows,

Answer

A

Explanation

If the government has decided that the coal companies would have to pay penalties if they fail to supply enough coal to thermal power stations, then it is also the government.s duty to see that the thermal power stations don.t make unrealistic demands. Otherwise the coal companies will have an unfair treatment. Hence I follows. But II is irrelevant: welfare measures for employees is not the issue here.
