Read the following statement carefully and identify the inference that follows. Statement: The TCS company has decided to lay off 1000 employees due to financial losses. Inference: I. The company is facing financial difficulties. II. The employees who were laid off were not performing well. III. The company will be able to recover from its financial losses after the layoffs.
If only I follows
In this inference type, the statement must be accepted as completely true, and each proposed inference is endorsed only if it is forced to be true by that statement. Anything that is merely likely, assumed, or predicted is rejected.
The statement reads that TCS has decided to lay off 1000 employees due to financial losses. The stated cause of the action is, in the company's own words, financial losses.
Inference I claims the company is facing financial difficulties. Since the statement itself gives financial losses as the reason for the layoffs, the presence of financial difficulty is not a guess but a restatement of given information, so I necessarily follows.
Inference II claims the laid-off employees were not performing well. The statement links the layoffs to the company's finances, never to the individual performance of those employees, so there is no basis for this at all; II does not follow.
Inference III predicts the company will recover after the layoffs. A layoff is only an attempt to cut costs, and recovery depends on many future factors the statement says nothing about; a hoped-for result cannot be treated as a logical certainty, so III does not follow.
Weighing the three, only inference I is compelled by the statement, while II and III each add information the statement does not supply.
Hence the correct choice is If only I follows.
