Answer is A, nothing is, mentioned about security guard, so we can predict as guard is helpful !

If you had a stack of money in a field, with no one guarding it but there was a sign saying not to take it you would still take if their was no one around. This means that the salespeople would still go near the establishment even if there was a sign saying they couldn't, thus the need for a guard to stop them from doing so.

Acc. to me answer is neither 1 nor 2 as in statement its written 'THOSE' means we not 'ALL' and no security guard is mentioned.

At least you need to specify that there is a guard.

A watch man placed at the gate does not follow from the given statement as it is not at all mentioned here. This contradicts your explanation given in one of the previous questions, the one with the vegetable.

ALL the sales person will not stay away. Some might find a way to trick the guard. Therefor answer A does not follow.
The guard MAY be able to stop the salesman. Or maybe he will not. How can "putting up a notice" have any impact on the guards ability to stop salesmen or not? therefor answer B does not follow.

In-spite of all this comments how can administrator of this site stays silent. He/she should immediately the corrected answer on the site or should explain how they deduced "SECURITY GUARD" when its not at all mentioned in the statement.

If there is already a notice put up at the gate, why is there any question of security guards to keep away the sales man. The answer is confusing !

The word "those" does not clarify the sentence, as it means some particular. So, how option I works for "all". Neither II as the sales person are literate & can read the notice mentioning "those" ain't allowed.
