Read the given statement and possible courses of action carefully and decide which of the courses of action logically follow(s) from the statement.

Statement:

If any of the faculty of sociology or social work sends his/her students to the inter-college debate, the college will definitely get some prizes.

Courses of Action:

(i) The management must make sure that either of the two faculties of sociology and social work makes his/her students participate in the debate.

(ii) The management must allow only the students of faculty of sociology and social work to take part in the debate.

(iii) Students from sociology or social work must be encouraged to participate in inter-collegiate debates.

If any of the faculty of sociology or social work sends his/her students to the inter-college debate, the college will definitely get some prizes.

This directly supports the condition in the statement and ensures prize-winning participation.

Encouraging participation aligns with the statement’s goal of winning prizes by motivating the relevant students.

So, Valid courses of action: (i) and (iii).

Thus, correct option is (b).
