In the following question, two statements are given each followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follows from the given statements.
Statements:
(I) Retail shops increasingly want to retain potential buyers.
(II) 10 % of the customers are lost due to out of stock products.
Conclusions:
(I) People don't find their sizes or specific color in stock and then they leave the store without any purchase.
(II) Retailers want maximum footfall to get converted into purchases.
- AOnly conclusion II follows
- BConclusion I and II both follow
- CNeither I nor II follow
- DOnly conclusion I follows
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's evaluate the given conclusions based strictly on the statements provided:
Conclusion I: States that people leave because they do not find specific sizes or colors. While Statement II mentions that 10% of customers are lost due to "out of stock products," concluding specific reasons like "sizes or specific color" is an over-extrapolation not directly stated in the text.
Conclusion II: Statement I states that "Retail shops increasingly want to retain potential buyers." This directly implies that retailers want the footfall (potential buyers who visit) to stay and complete a transaction, converting visits into purchases.
Therefore, only conclusion II logically follows.
