Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context:Service utilities add collection centres to improve customer convenience and reduce queues. We must identify the beliefs that justify opening more centres in a busy district. Given Data / Assumptions: Action: More centres will be opened where footfall is high. Assumption I: Customers will appreciate easier access. Assumption II: Additional counters reduce wait and travel time. Concept / Approach:Infrastructure expansion rests on the twin premises of positive customer reception and measurable convenience gains. Without either, the move would not be rational. Step-by-Step Solution: If I were false (people do not welcome it), the utility could face wasted resources.If II were false (no time savings), the expansion fails its operational goal of decongestion. Verification / Alternative check: Queueing theory: more service counters shorten average waiting time, validating II; customer-centric logic validates I. Why Other Options Are Wrong: I-only or II-only omit one of the essential rationales.Neither ignores obvious motives behind service expansion. Common Pitfalls: Treating the decision as arbitrary rather than as a response to congestion and accessibility issues. Final Answer:Both I and II are implicit
