Tough One!!!
Will go with E

manan · Answer

(A) The statement already says that bets materials are being used so A is irrelevant.
(B) This only addresses the issue which compounds the problem (that of faulty design), so not applicable
 (C) This addresses the root problem - that of faulty design- which may be rectified by peer review. 
(D) This again does not solve the original problem, but only the added issue of negligence.
(E) Tenants reviewing the building design does not make sense as we do not know if they possess the desired skills!

I will go with B

mirhaque · Answer

torn between C & D. In both C & D faulty designs are already in place, and supervision or maintainance only works to compansate the faulty design. OA bhai?

manan · Answer

Could you please explain B vkranthi7 ??

mba · Answer

Will go with (D) on this one,

Argument states that, the problems arises when engineers who did not designed the building try to maintain it. Hence it is best if the person who has designed the building oversees the maintenance part of the building as well. This is what (D) says,

What's the OA.

anandnk · Answer

Alliviate meaning reduce the problem.

(D) is the best. (D) directly takes care of the problem mentioned stem. Even though the maintainence personnel do not study the building they are responsible, their actions are controlled by the engineer who know about the building.

Paul · Answer

B) Does not change the fact that it is DURING the repairs that the more costly problems are made
C) again, this does nothing to alleviate the problem since the original engineers are not involved in the supervision and new engineers seem to not know much about the buildings' structure.

D is best as mba and anandnk said

praveen_rao7 · Answer

nice problem, I was kind of stuck in between C & D. As you guys say D makes most sense

carsen · Answer

Hi

In my opinion D is the best answer. Looking at the statement, it says that the problems occur as the maintance people and the design engineer do not work hand-in.hand. If this is established then the problem would be solved.

The only statement that states this is D. All other statements are beating round the bush or are irrelevant.

Hence D is the best answer.
Regards

Bhai · Answer
