Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the question given below:
To encourage and thank people who got vaccinated during the nationwide vaccination drive, PVR has introduced a ‘JAB Offer’ for the customers. As part of the scheme, one vaccinated guest can get another ticket free on select content as well as one F&B Combo free with the purchase of another in the first week of reopening. In addition to vaccinated staff, PVR will continue to maintain stringent hygiene protocols, social distancing and food safety measures, along with minimal human contact across all touch points.
Chequered seating with only 50 per cent occupancy as per state government protocols, social distancing marked queuing, digital contactless transactions, operating 50 per cent of the restroom facilities, installation of fibre and glass shields and regular sanitisation of its premises are some of the safety initiatives that it follows.
1) Which of the following is an assumption which is implicit in the facts stated in the above paragraph?
A. Giving such offers will encourage more and more people to get vaccinated
B. Government SOPs can prove phenomenal in kick starting the business
C. There is a downfall in the number of cases in places where PVR is opening
D. Safety measures will ensure a good control of the spread of the virus
E. None can be assumed
Sol:
Out of the given options only option (a) goes with the theme of the paragraph. Let’s understand it
in this way;
If we assume that offers will encourage more people to get vaccinated, PVRs will definitely give such offers as the paragraph talks about the
JAB offer for the vaccinated people.
Option (d) is given in the passage so that can’t be an assumption
Option (b) if assumed, won’t result in PVRs providing offers
Option (c) will be disconnected as nothing about the number of people is being talked about
2) Which of the following can be inferred from the passage above?
A. The PVRs are contributing in speeding up the vaccination drive in the country
B. The government has issued strict guidelines before opening the PVRs
C. Vaccination of their entire staff has become a priority for the media operators in various states
D. Both (a) and (c)
E. All (a), (b) and (c)
Sol:
As the paragraph gives various details about the
way PVRs are preparing before opening up, it
can be inferred that the government has
provided strict guidelines and that’s the reason,
the company is following the same. Hence, (b) is
the correct answer.
Option (a) says PVRs are speeding up the
vaccination process which can be taken as an
assumption but not an inference
Option (c) mentions the correct point of
vaccination of the staff but not of the media
operators as the option says so that’s wrong as
well.
3) Which of the following can be taken as the probable cause for the following effect: ‘Chequered seating with only 50 per cent occupancy as per state government protocols?’
A. Maintaining an optimum income ratio
B. Trying to sell more tickets for more shows
C. Focusing on the social distancing norms
D. Motivating staff to get vaccinated
E. To showcase maximum content across screens
Sol:
A particular seating arrangement has been
decided to be followed along with just half
seating capacity which clearly means they want
to avoid crowds. So, if we take following of social
distancing norms as the cause, devising this
seating arrangement comes out to be the effect.
Hence option (c) is the correct answer.
4) Which of the following can be a probable Course of Action to achieve minimal human contact across all touch points?
A. Regular sanitization of the premises
B. A ‘JAB Offer’ for the customers
C. Attractive offers on both tickets and F&B
D. Digital contactless transactions being promoted
E. None of the above
Sol:
Course of Action is something that helps achieve
the required target or at least tries to lessen the
problem.
If digital contactless transactions are being
promoted that simply means that the goal of
minimal human contact can be attained.
Options (b) and (c) will be helping get more
business but not in minimal human contact
Option (a) talks about sanitization which again
does not relate to our question
5) Which of the following can be concluded from the above paragraphs?
A. One vaccinated guest can get another ticket free
B. PVR is thankful that people are getting their jabs done
C. PVR is taking all safety measures to utilize its 100% seating capacity
D. PVR is ignorant towards the government protocols
E. PVR has taken all the safety regulations by the government seriously
Sol:
A conclusion means an interpretation or a logical
judgment that can be reached after knowing the
facts.
After reading the whole passage, especially the
second paragraph we can deduce that PVR is
taking care of the safety very seriously. So
option (e) is correct.
Option (d) is reverse of what is mentioned so
that can be ruled out.
Option (a) is a fact mentioned so that can’t be a
conclusion
Option (c) is wrong as the passage says 50%
capacity and not 100%
Option (b) is also not a conclusion so that can be
ruled out as well.
