    Question

    Each question below has a statement followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true and based on the information given in the statement, decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s).

    Statement:  Employee Y of a company is trying to

    defame the image of employee X of the same company by making false allegations about him to his manager so that Employee X cannot get his pending promotion. Employee X has reported this event to the senior manager. Courses of action: I. The manager should terminate employee X with immediate effect. II. Employee Y should be strictly penalised for doing so.
    A If only I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If only II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If either I or II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If neither I nor II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If both I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The (I) course of action cannot be taken as terminating the employee without properly investigating the complete matter should not be done. The employee should not be terminated until the allegations on the employee X are found to be true. No, (II) Employee Y should be strictly penalised for doing so, as it is mentioned that Employee Y is trying to defame Employee X, but Employee Y cannot be strictly penalised instead can be given a warning and if done same in the future than can be penalised. So, Neither (I) nor (II) follow.
