Statement: "In order to bring punctuality in our office, we must provide conveyance allowance to our employees." - In charge of a company tells Personnel Manager.
Assumptions:
- Conveyance allowance will not help in bringing punctuality.
- Discipline and reward should always go hand in hand.

Option D is correct. As rightly shorted out by Ravindra and Ali, conveyance allowance has nothing to do with discipline and it is not a reward to employees.

From my opinion also option D should be correct.
Were it the case that, conveyance allowance will be given on punctuality basis then option B would have made sense. But clearly that is not the case here.

It should be D. The word ''always'' in statement II makes it very generalized. Also, as pointed out by others, this isn't about discipline and reward.

Can you explain how statement 2 is implicit?

Can you please tell why statement 2 is implicit?
In the main statement, the author is nowhere talking about discipline and all. Please explain.

We want to always consider the statement as a true fact even though it is totally wrong.
So here according to the statement 1st one does not follow and 2nd one even though it is wrong really, we want to take it as a true based on the statement given [blindly trust the statement as true].

Option D seems to be correct than B. Since discipline and punctuality are different.

I think 'neither' should have been the correct answer as the word BRING clearly indicates that punctuality is not there at present. And the reward of something is given when someone deserves it. So why should the employees be rewarded if they are not punctual? I think if the word MAINTAIN had been used instead of BRING then assumption '2' would have been correct.

It will be D because allowance can't be dealt with reward. And first one clearly violates statement.

Look guys, we have to see each statement from the eyes of the author of the statement and try to figure out which of the following he thought to be true which leaded him to write this statement.
1st option is against the statement and hence would have stopped the author from writing this.
2nd option talks about the discipline and reward always going hand in hand which totally satisfies the statement as he demanded this order in order to bring discipline.
So he is pretty sure hat this will definitely bring punctuality mark the word ALWAYS in option 2. Otherwise, you will not get the point.
