Question

There are two construction companies, X and Y, bidding for the construction of the central mall.

- Company X offers 24x7 Wi-Fi service, continuous power and water supply, a one-year guarantee on each room, and an insurance scheme.
- However, the owner has chosen to sponsor Company Y.

Which of the following could be the reason(s) for the owner's decision?

(i) Company Y provides an insurance scheme lasting 10 years.

(ii) Company Y offers a guarantee of one and a half years for each room.

(iii) Company Y provides 24x7 power and water service at the same cost as Company X.

Choose the correct option:

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The statement mentions Company X offers an insurance scheme but does not specify its duration. Therefore, we cannot confirm if Company X's insurance is less than or equal to 10 years. This makes statement (i) unverifiable.

2. The cost comparison between Company X and Company Y is not provided in the passage, so we cannot conclude that Company Y offers the same services at the same cost. Hence, statement (iii) cannot be considered a valid reason.

3. It is clearly stated that Company Y provides a longer guarantee period (one and a half years) compared to Company X's one-year guarantee. This is a definite advantage and a valid reason for the owner's preference.

Therefore, only statement (ii) justifies the owner's decision to sponsor Company Y.

**Answer:** (d) Only (ii)
