Statement: Employees of a software company have been planning a 3-day weekend trip to the mountains. The HR department initially suggested that the company would bear 70% of the total expense if at least 40 employees joined. However, only 25 employees registered within the first week. To encourage more participation, the HR decided to extend the registration deadline and send out a reminder email to all departments.
What could be the possible assumption behind the HR department’s decision?

Correct option is B

Explanation: The HR department’s decision to extend the registration deadline and send reminder emails indicates that they believe some employees may not have registered earlier due to lack of awareness or time constraints. By giving an extended opportunity and reminding them again, HR assumes that more employees will be encouraged to participate, helping to reach the required count for the trip.
Thus, option [b] is the most logical assumption behind the decision.
