Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : "In order to bring punctuality in our office, we must provide conveyance allowance to our employees." - In charge of a company tells Personnel Manager. Assumptions : I. Conveyance allowance will not help in bringing punctuality. II. Discipline and reward should always go hand in hand.

Answer: Option B

The in-charge wants to improve punctuality among employees and suggests providing conveyance allowance as an incentive. This shows that the speaker believes the allowance can influence employees' behaviour and encourage them to be punctual.

Assumption I: “Conveyance allowance will not help in bringing punctuality.”
This assumption is not implicit because it directly contradicts the statement. If the in-charge believed that conveyance allowance would not improve punctuality, there would be no logical reason to suggest providing it for that purpose.

Assumption II: “Discipline and reward should always go hand in hand.”
This assumption is implicit. The speaker is suggesting a reward (conveyance allowance) to encourage a desired behaviour, punctuality (discipline). Thus, the suggestion is based on the belief that reward can be used to promote discipline and improve employee behaviour.

Therefore, only Assumption II is implicit.

Correct Answer: Option B — Only assumption II is implicit
