Question

Direction: Read the following scenario and answer the questions that follow:
Raveena, who is working at a leading tech company, also runs a food van on weekends near her home. She sells chicken sandwiches and veg wraps at her food van. The food van is a favourite among college students who form a major part of her clientele as the food offered is pocket friendly (₹ 60- 70). The students visit the van generally for evening snacks and prefer the sandwiches and wraps sold by Raveena over the ones offered by leading food chains. She is able to sell 550- 650 units on the weekend.
Raveena is not doing well in her job while the food stall turns profitable in three months. Akshay keeps coming up with new ideas to increase the business. However, Raveena also realises that Akshay’s final exams are approaching, and he won't be available for approximately 20 days next month. What should Raveena do?
Consider the following courses of action:
I. Ask Akshay to leave now itself as he won’t be available next month.
II. Offer a bonus to Akshay if he turns up for work for more than 20 days next month.
III. Talk to the Principal of the college to postpone the exams as Raveena might lose her job.
Select the best courses of action for Raveena?

• A. I only
• B. II only
• C. III only
• D. II and III
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

None of the given courses of action are logical because of the following:

I. Asking someone to leave now because he won’t be available next month is foolish as it means loss of almost a month’s business.

II. Offering a bonus to Akshay to work during his exams is insensitive.

III. Postponing the exams for one person does not make sense.
