Question

 In the following question, the main statement is followed by four sentences. Select the pair of sentences that relate logically to the given statement. Either the employees have no confi dence in the management or they are hostile by nature.
A. They are hostile by nature
B. They are not hostile by nature
C. They have confi dence in the management
D. They have no confi dence in the management

• A. BA
• B. CB
• C. DA
• D. BD

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The given statement is: "Either the employees have no confidence in the management or they are hostile by nature." This is a compound statement with two possible scenarios:

• Case 1: Employees have no confidence in the management.
• Case 2: Employees are hostile by nature.

The problem requires us to find a pair of sentences that logically follow or relate to this statement. Let's evaluate each option:

1. Option BA:
   • B: "They are not hostile by nature."
   • A: "They are hostile by nature."
   • These are contradictory statements and cannot be true at the same time, hence BA is incorrect.
2. Option CB:
   • C: "They have confidence in the management."
   • B: "They are not hostile by nature."
   • If we assume they have confidence in the management (C), then according to the original statement, the employees must be hostile by nature if they lack confidence, which contradicts B ("They are not hostile by nature"). This option logically follows as either scenario negates the need for the other to be true at the same time.
3. Option DA:
   • D: "They have no confidence in the management."
   • A: "They are hostile by nature."
   • This reinforces the original statement by stating both situations at once, which isn't necessarily required logically. Hence, DA is not the best logical pairing.
4. Option BD:
   • B: "They are not hostile by nature."
   • D: "They have no confidence in the management."
   • If the employees are not hostile by nature (B), they must logically have no confidence in the management (D). While this seems plausible, it directly contradicts the necessity of considering the alternatives provided in the original statement.

Thus, the pair CB is the most logical choice as it aligns with the conditions of the original statement, indicating that both elements can stand together without contradiction in the context provided.
