Which of the following statements as must be true on the basis of the statements above ?

D) In order to ensure that all of the Empire State Building’s windows are clean, the owner must have his window washers work overtime.

My Ques: How do we know if overtime is needed?
Hi Riya,
Let’s take a simple analogy.
You can finish X amount of work in 9 hours, which is your regular working hours in a day
No level of pressure can make you do beyond X amount of work in 9 hours
But your boss wants you to complete 2X amount of work per day. How would you achieve this? Only by working overtime.
Hope this helps!
Okay. What pointers do we need to consider when answering must be true questions? We can make assumptions?
