1. Question
1 pointsCategory: current affairsWhich of the following statements regarding the concept of Triage are correct?
Correct
- Concept of triage: The process of sorting people based on their need for immediate medical treatment as compared to their chance of benefiting from such care. Triage is done in emergency rooms, disasters, and wars, when limited medical resources must be allocated to maximize the number of survivors.
- When there are a large number of people needing urgent care and there are limited resources, the victims are divided into multiple categories based on severity of disease. The most severe are treated first as any delay will cost lives. The rest are treated later as per their level of severity. This idea was first introduced by Napoleon’s military surgeons to treat battlefield injuries and showed immediate impact. It is now standard practice in many countries when treating mass casualties. It has also been used effectively during COVID-19.

3. Question
1 pointsCategory: current affairsConsider the following statements regarding Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS):
- It involves tax avoidance by exploiting loopholes in taxation system of the countries
- BEPS has been deemed illegal globally
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
- Statement 1 is correct: BEPS refers to “tax planning strategies that exploit gaps and mismatches in tax rules to make profits ‘disappear’ for tax purposes or to shift profits to locations where there is little or no real activity but the taxes are low resulting in little or no overall corporate tax being paid
- Statement 2 is incorrect: As per OECD, in most cases BEPS strategies are not illegal. Largely they just take advantage of current rules that are still grounded in a bricks and mortar economic environment rather than today’s environment of global players which is characterized by the increasing importance of intangibles and risk management. That said, some of the schemes used are illegal and tax administrations are fighting them.

- Statement 2 is correct: Under principles of equity, only those individuals are helped who require that help. This means people are treated fairly as per their conditions, but differently.
- Statement 3 is incorrect: Everyone in the class will not be in the need of extra classes. So, only those students who are weak shall be given help. This ensures that only those students are given assistance who actually need it. Hence, this is a case of equity, not equality. Under equality, all students would be given extra classes.
