Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: Only II follows.
Explanation:
Course I — "Management may seek opinion of the employees before calling retired professors."
This does not follow because the statement only says that retired professors' contribution may be beneficial. It does not imply that management must consult or get permission from employees before inviting them; that is a managerial decision, not a logical requirement from the given information.
Course II — "Management should involve experienced people for the systematic restructuring of the organisation."
This follows because the statement explicitly suggests that retired professors (experienced people) can make a beneficial contribution to restructuring. Therefore involving experienced individuals is a reasonable and supported course of action.
Conclusion: Only the second course of action follows.
