After the third bounce, it will reach a height of (2/5) * 50 = 20 centimeters. Finally, after the fourth bounce, it will reach a height of (2/5) * 20 = 8 centimeters.Rate this question:

- B.
Only 2 follows
- C.

- D.

Correct Answer
D. Both I and II followExplanation
The statement suggests that a large number of people in ward X are suffering from a fatal malaria type. Course of action I states that the city municipal authority should take immediate steps to carry out extensive fumigation in ward X. This action is necessary to eliminate the mosquitoes that are transmitting the malaria and prevent further spread of the disease. Course of action II suggests that the people in the area should be advised to take steps to avoid mosquito bites. This is important because even with fumigation, it is crucial for individuals to protect themselves from mosquito bites to prevent contracting malaria. Therefore, both courses of action are necessary and should be implemented.Rate this question:
