Here some problem or solution of the problem is given in the statement you have to choose the appropriate logical deduction for given statement.
Statement: Remote work has become increasingly popular among professionals, leading to improved work-life balance for many employees. Companies have reported reduced overhead costs due to smaller office spaces and lower utility bills. However, some organizations struggle with maintaining team cohesion and effective communication, resulting in decreased productivity in certain departments. Research indicates that hybrid work models combining remote and office work may offer the best of both approaches.
Conclusions:
I. Remote work always leads to decreased productivity in organizations.
II. Companies benefit financially from remote work arrangements.
III. Hybrid work models are superior to purely remote or office-based work.
Which conclusion necessarily follows?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
I. Remote work always leads to decreased productivity.
The statement says productivity decreased only in some departments, not always. The word “always” makes it wrong.
II. Companies benefit financially from remote work arrangements.
The statement clearly says companies have reduced overhead costs (office space and utilities). That means financial benefit.
III. Hybrid work models are superior to purely remote or office-based work.
Not necessarily. The statement only says hybrid models may offer the best of both, not that they are definitely superior.
Only conclusion II logically follows from the statement.
