Directions: A statement is given followed by two inferences I and II. You have to consider the statement to be true even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given inferences, if any, follow from the given statement.

Inference:

I.The benchmark is an integral part of the employee management policy of an organization.

II. Those who are not hired do not make it to the benchmark.

1.

Only I follows.

2.

Only II follows.

3. Either I or II follows.
4.

Neither I nor II follows.

5.

Both I and II follow.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 5 :

Both I and II follow.

The statement mentions that a benchmark is applied in choosing, rejecting, retaining, and promoting a candidate.

From what has been supplied we can infer that the Benchmark is a necessary part of the employee management policy of an organization. Therefore, the inference I follow.

Also from the statement, it can be deduced that those who get rejected and are not hired do not make it to the specified benchmark. So, inference II follows.

Hence, Both I and II follow.
