Mark answer ( a) If the inference is "definitely true" i.e. it properly follows from the statement of facts given. Mark answer (b) If the inference is "probably true" though not "definitely true" in the light of the facts given. Mark answer (c) If the data is inadequate i.e. from the facts given, you cannot say whether the inference is likely to be true or false. Mark answer ( d) If the inference is "probably false" though not "definitely false" in the light of the fact given . Mark answer (e) If the inference is "definitely false" i.e., it can not possibly be drawn from the facts given or it contradicts the given facts. (Note: Each of the five questions has only one distinct answer i.e., no two questions can have the same answer. If you get the same answer for more than one question, consider both again and decide which one of the two would more definitely be that answer and in the same way review the others also). Cardiovascular disease is so prevalent that virtually all businesses are likely to have employees who suffer from, or may develop, this condition. Research shows that between 50-80 percent of all people who suffer a heart attack are able to return to work. However, this may not be possi ble if they have previously been involved in heavy physical work. In such cases, it may be possible to move the employee to lighter duties, with appropriate retraining where necessary. Similarly, high-pressure, stressful work, even where it does not involve physical activity, should also be avoided. Human Resource managers should be aware of the implications of job roles for employees with a cardiac condition. Employees who suffer from cardiovascular disease are mostly unable to return to work.
