This will help the public sector undertakings to get rid of non-performing employees and reward the performing employees.     II.            No. This will give an unjust handle to the management and they may use it indiscriminately.  III.            Yes. This will help increase the level of efficiency of these organizations and these will become profitable establishments.

A. None is strong B. Only I and II are strong C. Only II and III are strong D. Only I and III are strong E. All are strong

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

'Hire and fire policy' implies 'taking up the performing employees and discarding the non-performing ones'. Clearly, such a policy would stand out to encourage employees to work hard and devotedly to retain their jobs and thus enhance productivity and profitability of the organizations. So, both arguments I and III hold strong. Argument II seems to be vague in the light of this.
