Statement: The market share of the mobile company "X" has increased from 3% to 9% from the year 2018 to 2019 and more mobiles are sold overall in the year 2019.
Inferences:
1. Mobile company X has sold more mobiles in the year 2019 as compared to 2018.
II. The sales of mobile company X is tripled from the year 2018 to 2019.
- Neither inference I nor inference II follows
- Both inferences I and II follow
- Only inference I follows
- Only inference II follows
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Inference Analysis Based on Market Share Data
Step 1: Analyze Inference I
The statement tells us that the market share has increased from 3% to 9% and more mobiles have been sold overall. This indicates that the total number of mobiles sold in 2019 is more than in 2018, which supports Inference I.
Step 2: Analyze Inference II
Inference II mentions that the sales of mobile company X have tripled, but the statement does not specify the exact increase in the number of units sold. Therefore, we cannot conclude that the sales have tripled from the given data. Hence, inference II does not follow.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is (c) Only inference I follows.
Top Questions on Statements and Conclusions
Humane Dynamix is a leadership training organization based in Mumbai. Established in 2015, the organization is gradually becoming a leader in behavioral training. In the organization, trainers are assigned to training projects based on their expertise. Corporates seek behavioral training services on a regular basis, from Humane Dynamix, for upskilling their executives. Humane Dynamix is headed by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), to whom the Training Assignment Officer (TAO) reports. The TAO position rotates among the senior trainers for a fixed tenure; the CEO assigns this position to a senior trainer.
Companies, desirous of hiring Humane Dynamix, share their training needs with the organization. The TAO assigns a trainer to the client. Typically, the satisfied client requests for a particular trainer that the client is satisfied, giving repeat business to Humane Dynamix from the same client company. However, the TAO takes the nal call. Years of training experience plays a big role in client satisfaction, and hence, senior trainers conduct most training programs while the newly recruited trainers apprentice with them. However, the senior trainers have the autonomy to decide on who they want to accept as an apprentice..
Further, during a training program, the senior trainer takes most of the sessions, if not all, while the apprentice helps the senior trainers to organize their sessions, and occasionally take a few sessions. As the apprentices gain experience, they start getting their own independent projects, but that typically takes quite some time..
Dheeraj, a senior trainer, takes over as the TAO. As soon as he assumes the office, the CEO shares a concern with him: “We have a lot of young trainers who we have recently recruited. Since they are not known to the outside world, they do not get enough opportunities. Many of them are impatient to prove their mettle. Unless they are assigned more programs, we risk losing them rapidly.”- XAT - 2025
