Statement: The police has failed to protect the elderly citizens of the society. Only last week three old persons were killed at three different places.
Courses of action: I. The police should be asked to take special care of women and children.
II. The Government should bring a legislation against the killing of elderly people.
III. Criminal who are accused of killing elderly people should be prosecuted by the state.

Options

A. Only I follows
B. Only II follows
C. Only III follows
D. None follows

Answer

D

Explanation

This question is slightly tricky. I does not follow because the problem mentions elderly people and not women and children. II and III are proper courses of action, yet they do not follow because such provisions are already there. Killing elderly people is a punishable offense under Sec. 300 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code while murderers as a rule are prosecuted by the State. II and III are not new suggestions. They are already in practice.
