You can't infer overall benefit as monetary and fit scenarios for that. An overall benefit could be in terms of efficiency itself for example as well. The question never stated it has to be in terms of profit gain. I see many gurus getting hung up on trying to justify overall monetary benefit here.

Krunaal

How I would go about in such a question is - think a one pro and one con hypothetically

(1) Companies that invest in comprehensive employee training programs often observe improved job performance among their workforce.

Pro - What if the improved job performance will increase companies profits? The investment would be worth, it will possibly benefit the company.

Con - What if the improved job performance was not able to offset the cost the company invested in training

=> no overall benefit to company

We don't have a conclusive answer. INSUFFICIENT

(2) Well-trained employees are likely to excel in their roles and take the company forward.

Pro - What if the taking the company forward meant increase in companies' profits? The investment would be worth, it will possibly benefit the company.

Con - What if the the company did go forward in terms of efficiency but still that was not able to offset the cost the company invested in training

=> no overall benefit to company

We don't have a conclusive answer. INSUFFICIENT

Both Together

Even if we combine both the statements, we can see that the judgement on whether it was beneficial for company to invest still remains clouded; and we don't have a conclusive answer. INSUFFICIENT

Answer E.
