NDA (I) 2025 General Ability Test · Question 15 of 150

Correct — C, guarantee is a promise and warranty is a service contract. A guarantee is essentially a promise or assurance that something will be done or is as claimed; a warranty is a written contract to repair or replace a product. Option (c) captures 'guarantee = a promise' most precisely.

• (a)Guarantee is an agreement and warranty is a service contract — Calls a guarantee 'an agreement', which is vaguer than 'a promise' and does not capture the assurance sense.
• (b)Guarantee is a business agreement and warranty is a service contract — 'a business agreement' narrows a guarantee wrongly — it is a promise or assurance, not specifically a business deal.
• (d)Guarantee is acceptance and warranty is a service contract — 'acceptance' does not define a guarantee, which is a promise or assurance.

A 'guarantee' is a promise or assurance, while a 'warranty' is a written service contract on a product, so the options differ only in how they define guarantee.
