Ace Repairs

Expert replies
by arora007 » Tue Jul 27, 2010 1:11 pm
A significant number of complex repair jobs carried out by Ace Repairs have to be reworked under the company's warranty. The reworked jobs are invariably satisfactory. When initial repairs are inadequate, therefore, it is not because the mechanics lack competence; rather, there is clearly a level of focused concentration that complex repairs require that is elicited more reliably by rework jobs than by first-time jobs.

The argument above assumes which of the following?

A. There is no systematic difference in membership between the group of mechanics who do first-time jobs and the group of those who do rework jobs.
B. There is no company that successfully competes with Ace Repairs for complex repair jobs.
C. Ace Repairs' warranty is good on first-time jobs but does not cover rework jobs.
D. Ace Repairs does not in any way penalize mechanics who have worked on complex repair jobs that later had to be reworked.
E. There is no category of repair jobs in which Ace Repairs invariably carries out first-time jobs satisfactorily.

OA is A , please give ur reasoning

Hi,

the passage states that the first level of repair is not of good quality but the second level of repair work is good.
it immediately comes to the conclusion that Mechanics concenteration is the reason behind the level of work.
If this has to be true or for anyother worker related argument to be true, the passage should first state / assume that the Mechanics at both levels are equally qualified and their work environment is the same.

HTH,
karthik

E is wrong because even if there is such category, it has no effect on the conclusion, and therefore E cannot be an assumption used to make such conclusion.

On a side note, I think it is important to type or copy and paste questions with proper format, because it really isn't beneficial to add an extra layer of difficulty to the questions.

I chose A

Conclusion: The reworked jobs for complex repairs have a higher percentage of satisfactory completions because reworked jobs elicit a different (higher) level of focused concentration.


Premise: Mechanics are competent to do the jobs.

I crossed out BCD first

B. There is no company that successfully competes with Ace Repairs for complex
repair jobs. Outside of scope

C. Ace Repairs’ warranty is good on first-time jobs but does not cover rework jobs.

The warranty issue isn't pertinent to the argument so I eliminated C.

D. Ace Repairs does not in any way penalize mechanics who have worked on
complex repair jobs that later had to be reworked.

This doesn't bolster the conclusion/argument, so I eliminated it.

I got down to A and E and ultimately chose A because it spoke directly to the issue of competence. In order for this argument to have any legs, we have to assume that those mechanics who worked the job the first time were just as competent as those who did the rework.

E doesn't address the issue of competence so while it was tempting, I threw it out.

A

arg says that "complex repairs need focused concentration that is elicited more reliably by rework jobs than by first-time jobs" and this is not due to "mechanics lack competence; "

why cannot this concentration be achieved by same mecahnics in first time....
this can be answered properly by option A
