Statement: “He emphasised the need to replace the present training programme by other methods that will bring out the real merit of the managers.” Conclusions: I. It is important to bring out the real merit of the managers. II. The present training programme does not bring out the real merit of the managers. Which conclusion(s) logically follow(s)?

Introduction / Context:If someone emphasises replacement of the current programme by methods that bring out “real merit,” two things are implicit: (a) revealing real merit matters; (b) the current programme fails to do so adequately.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Desired outcome: bringing out real managerial merit.
• Proposed action: replace the present programme.

Concept / Approach:Advocacy for replacement specifically “to bring out real merit” presupposes the importance of that objective and implies deficiency in the current setup relative to that objective.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Final Answer:If both Conclusions I and II follow.
