Statement: Several IT companies shifted to permanent work-from-home model.
Inferences:
I. Companies find remote work more cost-effective.
II. Office spaces are no longer useful.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer: (A) Only Inference I follows
Explanation:
• Inference I follows: When companies transition to a permanent work-from-home structure, significant savings in office rent, maintenance, and administrative overheads make remote work more cost-effective. Hence, this is a reasonable deduction.
• Inference II does not follow: The statement mentions only several IT companies, not all. Furthermore, claiming office spaces are entirely useless is an extreme and invalid generalization.
Therefore, only Inference I follows.
