Statement:\n“He emphasised the need to replace the present training programme by other methods that will bring out the real merit of the managers.”\n\nConclusions:\nI. It is important to bring out the real merit of the managers.\nII. The present training programme does not bring out the real merit of the managers.\n\nWhich conclusion(s) logically follow(s)?

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: If both Conclusions I and II follow

Explanation:


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:

• I: Follows—he values the objective strongly enough to call for change.• II: Follows—if the present programme already brought out real merit, replacement solely for that reason would be unnecessary.


Final Answer:
If both Conclusions I and II follow.
