Q151

Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : "Please put more people on the job to make up for the delay." Assumptions : I. Delay is inevitable in most jobs. II. Output will increase with more number of people on the job.

A.
Only assumption I is implicit
B.
Only assumption II is implicit
Answer
C.
Either I or II is implicit
D.
Neither I nor II is implicit
E.
Both I and II are implicit

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The advice tells to 'make up for the delay' showing that delay is not to be done. So, I is not implicit. Since increase in number of people will make up for the delay, it means the output will increase with this increase in number. So, II is implicit.
