  • Question 1
    1 / -0.25

    Directions : In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions I &II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. Give answer

    Q. Statement: “Buy ‘LG ’TV for better sound quality.”–An advertisement

    Assumptions:

    I. “LG ’TV is the only TV in the market.

    II. ‘LG ’TV is the costliest.

    III. People generally ignore such advertisements.

    Solution

    Answer: D. None is implicit

    Explanation:

    The given statement is an advertisement that claims that 'LG 'TV has better sound quality. Let 's analyze each assumption:

    - Assumption I: The statement does not imply that 'LG 'TV is the only TV in the market. It simply states a reason to buy 'LG 'TV i.e. better sound quality.
    - Assumption II: The advertisement does not mention anything about the price of 'LG 'TV, so we cannot infer that it is the costliest.
    - Assumption III: The statement does not provide any information about how people generally react to such advertisements, so we cannot assume that people ignore them.

    Thus, none of the assumptions are implicit in the given statement.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0.25

    Q. Statement: “Look at his audacity. Mohan has not replied to my letter.”–A tells B.

    Assumptions:

    I. Mohan received his letter.

    II. Mohan did not receive his letter.

    III. The letter was sent only  by post.

    Solution

    Answer: A. Only I is implicit

    Considering the given statement, we can infer the following:

    •A is expecting a reply from Mohan, which implies that A assumes Mohan received the letter. So, assumption I is implicit.

    •Assumption II contradicts assumption I, as it suggests Mohan did not receive the letter. We cannot infer this from the statement, so assumption II is not implicit.

    •There is no information in the statement about the mode of sending the letter. Therefore, we cannot conclude that the letter was sent only by post. So, assumption III is not implicit.

    In conclusion, only assumption I is implicit in the statement.

    I. All the employees come late.

    II. Employees read such notice on the Board.

    III. Employees will follow the instructions.

    Solution

    Answer: D. Only II and III are implicit

    - The statement given is an instruction to put up a notice about employees coming on time to the office.
    - Assumption I is not necessarily true, as the instruction does not explicitly state that all employees come late. It could be a general reminder or a response to a few cases of employees coming late.
    - Assumption II is implicit because, for the notice to be effective, it assumes that employees read the notice on the board.
    - Assumption III is also implicit because the purpose of putting up the notice is to ensure that employees follow the instructions and come to the office on time.

    Q. Statement: The General Administration Department has issued a circular to all the employees informing them that henceforth the employees can avail their lunch break at any of the half-hour slots between 1.00 pm and 2.30 pm.

    Assumptions:

    I. The employees may welcome the decision and avail lunch break at different time slots.

    II. There may not be any break in the work of the organization as the employees will have their lunch break at different time slots.

    Solution

    Answer: B

    Explanation:

    The given statement talks about the new circular issued by the General Administration Department allowing employees to take their lunch break at any half-hour slot between 1.00 pm and 2.30 pm.

    Assumptions:

    I. The employees may welcome the decision and avail lunch break at different time slots.

    - This assumption is not necessarily implicit in the statement. While it is possible that employees may welcome the decision, there is no information in the statement that supports this assumption.

    II. There may not be any break in the work of the organization as the employees will have their lunch break at different time slots.

    - This assumption is implicit in the statement. The main reason for issuing the circular allowing employees to take their lunch break at different time slots is to ensure that there is no break in the work of the organization. So, this assumption is valid and supported by the statement.

    Thus, the correct answer is B: Only II.

    Q. Statement: “There is no dearth of expertise in the country (India) to assist or advice the Planning Commission. Induction of foreign experts in the commission is not justified as it will not only undermine or undervalue our indigenous capabilities, but also not help much in shaping our planning process.”–Mr X

    Assumptions:

    I. Economic policy is a sensitive issue.
    II. Indian experts are the best judge of the ground realities of India.
    III. Foreign-bred plans may succeed in one country but fail in another.

    Solution

    Only I and II are implicit in the statement.

    The statement "There is no dearth of expertise in the country (India) to assist or advice the Planning Commission "suggests that there are enough qualified experts in India who can provide advice and assistance to the Planning Commission. This implies that Indian experts are the best judge of the ground realities of India, which is assumption II.

    The statement also says that the induction of foreign experts in the commission is not justified because it would undermine or undervalue indigenous capabilities and not help much in shaping the planning process. This suggests that economic policy is a sensitive issue, which is assumption I.

    There is no mention in the statement about the potential success or failure of foreign-bred plans in different countries, so assumption III is not implicit in the statement. Therefore, the correct answer is 4: Only I and II are implicit in the statement.

  • Question 8

    Q. Statement: The Govt has made an appeal to all the citizens to honestly pay income tax and file returns reflecting the true income level to help the Government to carry out developmental activities.

    Assumptions:

    I. More people may now start paying taxes in response to the appeal.

    II. The total income tax collection may considerably increase in the near future.

    Solution

    Let 's assume with some common sense,

    If Govt. makes an appeal to everyone to honestly pay income tax then, of course, the government assumes that such appeals will make people pay tax more, I mean that 's something that the government thinks would happen if it appeals so Assumption I is implicit.

    Now if more people start to file their tax then we can also directly assume that more revenue would be generated hence assumption II is also implicit  

    Hence answer is C both I and II
