Read the following scenario and answer the THREE questions that follow.
Comprehension:
Dileep Dosan sells dosas in front of an upscale hospital at a city in Punjab. He only sells two varieties of dosas: plain for ₹25 and masala for ₹40.
His dosa stall is popular amongst the hospital staff members, who mostly hail from South India and form his core clientele. They frequently visit his stall during office hours as they find his dosas to be reasonably priced. Though the hospital staff members can visit the upscale food court on the top floor of the hospital, they prefer his stall for breakfast and lunch, and even for occasional evening snacks. His daily sale volume varies between 300 and 400 dosas, in which the demand for masala dosas is around 50-60%.
One day, Dileep, while walking through the hospital food court, sees a vacant spot.He wonders if he can shift his stall to that spot.
Which of the following information will dissuade him the MOST from shifting his stall to the food court?
It is mentioned that hospital staff frequently visit his stall during office hours as they find his dosas to be reasonably priced. Option E dissuades him the most because if shifted to the hospital food court, the minimum price should be Rs 200, which may discourage staff from visiting the stall.
Options A and C may bother Dileep to some extent but not more than option E.
Options B and D are incorrect as the statements support shifting the stall.
Answer is option E.
