Q42

Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : Safety and health practices in many Indian companies are well below the international standards. Assumptions : I. International standards of health and safety are ideal and unrealistic. II. Indian organizations do not consider safety and health management as their prime social responsibility.

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 statement talks about the safety and health practices in Indian companies being far below international standards. It is clearly a criticism of Indian organizations not paying considerable attention to these aspects. So, II is implicit. The international standards demand perfection and are, in no way, non-achievable. So, I is not implicit.
