Logical reasoning — Workplace dynamics: Manager humiliates Sachin before colleagues; assess whether dislike or Sachin’s popularity status logically follows from the incident

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows

Explanation:

Given data

  • Statement: The manager humiliated Sachin in the presence of his colleagues.
  • Conclusions to test:
    • I: The manager did not like Sachin.
    • II: Sachin was not popular with his colleagues.

Concept/Approach

One event (humiliation) does not prove underlying attitudes (dislike) or colleagues’ popularity judgments without additional context.


Step-by-Step reasoning
1) I does not follow: humiliation could stem from stress, policy enforcement, or a specific incident, not necessarily personal dislike.2) II does not follow: colleagues’ reactions or views are not described.


Verification/Alternative

If other evidence (emails, prior behavior) showed dislike, I could follow, but none is provided here.


Common pitfalls

  • Inferring stable attitudes from a single observed act.

Final Answer
Neither I nor II follows.
