Question

11. The government of country C faces three problems: d, f, and j. Problem j can be solved only by eliminating problem d but before problem f is taken care of. The government of country L has two major problems: o and w. Problem o is the direct result of the problem f in country C, while problem w causes problem d in country C. 
Which of the following help of an international organization G best helps to resolve the maximum number of problems in both county C and L?

a. The international organization G can provide all necessary funding to help country C fight problem j and f, as well as loan country L it's knowledgebase on how to fight w and o. 
b. Organization G can assist both countries in eliminating problems d and f in country C and problem w in country L, which would lead to new problems q and p in both countries. Problem q will be the cause of problem p and will be able to be solved by the return to the initial stage of both countries.
c. Country L can become a part of the organization G which would ensure all its problems are eliminated, while country C would not in this case be able to become a part of the organization G and would be able to receive help in dealing with problem d.
d. International organization G is capable of supporting warfare between countries C and L which would eliminate all current problems in the two countries.
e. Organization G can provide all necessary funding and professional assistance to country L to fight problem w, while country L then would be able to consult country C on how to eliminate problem f, as well as provide necessary research and funding.

I will go with E.

If w is resolved then d is automatically resolved. Then we can eliminate d which in turn automatically elimonate j. Then, if f is resolved then o is automatically resolved.

But I like D too :lol:

its too funny. :lol:

its too funny. :lol:

Lost in a maze...... Trying to come out of it by choosing A. :lol:

shahsac · Answer

Going with A:
It states that G will help both countries to solve 4 out of their 5 problems. Nothing is said about d. 
But since j cannot be solved without d being solved, thus by removing j, d is also removed.

shahnandan · Answer

I choose A.--it solves most of both the country's problems

In E, there is still some ambiguity on how L will be able to help C to solve F which in turn will help L to solve O, whereas in A, org G has taken care of most problems.

jaynayak · Answer

Will go with E.

The problems can be eliminated if problem f is eliminated from Country C which will eliminate problem o from country L and eliminating problem w from country L which will eliminate problem d from country C.

E address these areas

bpattnaik · Answer

E is the best choice.

shoonya · Answer

I will approach it in the following manner:

counter f --> eliminate o

counter w --> eliminate d

this will eliminate j.

what is OA?

paddyboy · Answer

E. But are we eliminating D just because its too extreme? :shock:

Or is it because it mentions that all 'current' problems will be solved, thus holding out a promise of further problems to come...

TestWriter · Answer

The most correct answer is E. 
a. This option leaves problem d in country C, although without any consequence.
b. Creating ways out that cause new problems and would eventually lead to the initial stage in both countries is not a good solution.
c. This solution leaves problem f in country C.
d. Out of scope and ridiculous.
e. Taking care of problem w eliminates problems d and j. After eliminating problem f, problem o would also disappear and both countries will have no problems.
