In this question, a statement is followed by two courses of action, numbered I and II. You must assume everything in the statement to be true and on the basis of the information given in the statement, decide which of the courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing.
Statement:
Severe congestion is seen on the service road outside the apartment complex between 7.30 a.m. to 9 a.m. everyday due to many school buses from different schools picking up children from gate of the apartment complex. This is leading to a traffic jam, delaying many people travelling for work at this time.
Courses of Action:
I. No school buses should be permitted on the service road from 7.30 a.m. to 9 a.m.
II. School buses should be permitted to enter the society gates.
Only I follows
Only II follows
Both I and II follow
Neither I nor II follows
Neither I nor II follows
Evaluate each course of action based on whether it is practical, feasible, and directly solves the root problem without creating severe side effects.

Analyze the Problem
The core problem is severe traffic congestion on the service road outside the apartment complex between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. caused by school buses picking up children right at the gate.
Evaluate Course of Action I
Banning school buses entirely from the service road during morning hours is an extreme and impractical measure because school children require transport from their residential area. Hence, I does not follow.
Evaluate Course of Action II
Allowing school buses to enter the society gates removes the waiting buses from the narrow service road, directly solving the traffic jam and helping people travel for work smoothly. Hence, II follows.
A: Only I follows is incorrect because banning school buses completely is impractical. B: Both I and II follow is incorrect since I is unviable. C: Neither I nor II follows is incorrect because II is a practical and effective solution.
D is correct because permitting school buses to enter the society gates (Course of Action II) directly relieves traffic congestion on the service road, whereas completely banning buses (Course of Action I) is impractical.
In decision-making and course of action questions, always check if the proposed solution is practical, proportional, and directly addresses the problem without causing severe negative side effects.
