Question

Q. Statement: "Please put more employees 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 employees on the job.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B Only assumption II is implicit

Assumption I is not implicit, even if based on your real life experiences, you may believe that delay is inevitable in most jobs. As per the statement, increasing the number of employees will make up for the delay by increasing the output. So II is implicit.
