Question :

In the question below, a few statements are given depicting an issue or a problem. You have to assume everything in the statements to be true even if they are at variance from commonly known facts, and on the basis of the information given in the statements, decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing.

Elephant deaths on and near the state's railway tracks are rising, with 36 fatalities recorded from train collisions in the past decade, according to official data. Eleven of these fatalities occurred on two railway tracks near Madukkarai, where the forest borders the state of Kerala. These tracks intersect with the elephants' migratory route to neighbouring forests. In 2021, the state's high court ordered the forest department and railways to prevent elephant deaths on these tracks.

Which of the following courses of action is the best suited for the given scenario provided that no more elephants lose their lives?

1. Continuous tracking and monitoring of elephant activities should be done through cameras and drones so that elephant movements can be captured for better decision-making.

2. Physical barriers can be installed near railway lines so that elephants are diverted onto a safer route to reach their destinations.

3. The rail path can be diverted or displaced to a different side of the forest which could ensure the safety of the elephants and easy movement of trains and freight carriers.

4. The reason for elephant migration needs to be assessed by the forest department and once the reason is found, the forest department can work and come up with a working plan to stop the migration of elephants so that the railways and the elephants do not cross each other.

5. Advanced brake systems (sensor-based braking systems) that get activated at the sight of elephants can be installed on trains so that they stop at a safe distance.

Correct Answer : 5
Solution :

Option (e) is the ideal course of action for the given scenario because an advanced braking system from a distance could ideally prevent the deaths of elephants which is ideally required as per the passage.

Option (a) is negated because just capturing and monitoring elephants' movements may or may not aid in decision-making.

In option (b), the installation of physical barriers to divert the elephants to their destinations might involve elephant deaths, if the barriers get damaged at some point. So, this can't be the ideal course of action.

In option (c), it is suggested to divert the rail path, which is practically not feasible and is thus negated.

In option (d), it is suggested to divert the migration of elephants, which again is practically impossible to control and is thus negated.

Hence, the correct answer is option (e).
