Question

X and Y are both females and applied for government jobs. X applied through women's reservation, Y applied through general merit. X got the job, but Y could not get it. Which of the options are correct related to this paragraph?

• A. X is lying because there is no reservation for women.
• B. Y was not familiar with the reservation system.
• C. Government jobs do not follow the reservation system.
• D. Y would not have applied for the job.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Y was not familiar with the reservation system.

Women’s participation is encouraged by providing reservations in the local governing bodies and government jobs. This reservation ranges from 33% to 50% in different parts of India. People are not familiar with the policies. In the question, Y missed the opportunity because she was not aware of such a system. The government should take steps to make people aware of such systems.
