The correct answer is: E. Both I and II follow
The statement says that on an average, about twenty people are run over by trains and die every day while crossing the railway tracks through the level crossing. This means that there is a serious problem with people crossing the tracks when the gates are closed.
Course of action I suggests that the railway authorities should be instructed to close all the level crossings. This would prevent people from crossing the tracks at all, and would therefore reduce the number of deaths.
Course of action II suggests that those who are found crossing the tracks, when the gates are closed, should be fined heavily. This would deter people from crossing the tracks when the gates are closed, and would therefore reduce the number of deaths.
Both course of action I and II would help to reduce the number of deaths from people crossing the railway tracks. Therefore, both I and II follow.
Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:
- Option A: Only I follows. This option is incorrect because course of action II would also help to reduce the number of deaths.
- Option B: Only II follows. This option is incorrect because course of action I would also help to reduce the number of deaths.
- Option C: Either I or II follows. This option is incorrect because both course of action I and II would help to reduce the number of deaths.
- Option D: Neither I nor II follows. This option is incorrect because both course of action I and II would help to reduce the number of deaths.
- Option E: Both I and II follow. This option is correct because both course of action I and II would help to reduce the number of deaths.
