Statement & Conclusion

Medium

The statement below is followed by two courses of actions, numbered I and II. Assume everything in the statement to be true.

Statement – A well-known food delivery company has received multiple complaints about late deliveries and poor food quality in the last quarter.

I. The company should review the food options of its partner restaurants.

II. The company should cap the number of orders each delivery person can take at peak hours.

Which course(s) of action logically follow on the basis of the information given in the statement.

Only II

Neither I nor II

Both I and II

Only I

✅ Correct Option: 3

The statement mentions two problems: late deliveries and poor food quality. We need to check if each action addresses these problems.

Analyzing Action I: Review food options of partner restaurants

The statement says there are complaints about poor food quality. Reviewing the food options of partner restaurants directly tackles this issue. If customers are unhappy with food quality, checking what the partner restaurants are offering makes complete sense.

Action I logically follows ✓

Analyzing Action II: Cap orders per delivery person at peak hours

The statement says there are complaints about late deliveries. If delivery persons are overloaded with too many orders during busy times, they won't be able to deliver on time. Limiting the number of orders each person handles would reduce delays.

Action II logically follows ✓

The key logic: Each action fixes one of the two problems mentioned in the statement.

Problem	Action that fixes it
Poor food quality	Action I - Review partner restaurants
Late deliveries	Action II - Cap orders at peak hours

Since both actions address real problems from the statement, both I and II logically follow.

Answer: Option 3 (Both I and II)
