Question

Terrorists enjoy a favorable ____________________________ because large numbers of people, resources and money are required to combat them, whereas the terrorists themselves need use only small amounts of resources in their attacks.

		Force ratio
		Resource utilization rate
		Bottom line
		Cost/benefit analysis

Answer 1

Ans- option(b) As mentioned in the question, that terrorists need small amounts of resources to initiate their attack however to tackle it, we need to spend huge and use most of our resources to stop the attact. It is evident by the statement that terrorists are able to attack with few resources, thus their efficiency is high, which implies that the resources they are using are limited but still giving full result, thereby making resource utilisation rate better. The more efficiently a work can be done with few resources, the better is the utilisation rate. Same happened in this case.

Option(a) is wrong as force ratio is often refered as labour force ratio relates to labour participation in an economy which has no meaninng here.

Option(c) Bottom line means how a firm is able to bring financial profitability, thus no relation seems to fit here.

Option(d) cost benefit analysis, means evaluating various options before investment, to understand which alternative will be beneficial, which is again irrelavant here.
