The basic demand for the immediate setting up of the Sixth Pay Commission may grant interim relief to employees:This assumption is also implicit, as the statement mentions that the employees are pushing for the constitution of the Sixth Pay Commission, which implies that they expect some relief or benefit from it.However, assumption I (Strike is the only way to put pressure on the government for settlement of demands) is not implicit, as the statement does not mention that strike is the only option available to the employees.

    Q. Statement: Starting this year, the CBSE will give a 15-minute “cool-off ”period to students sitting in the boards for class VIII to X. Also, some questions papers have been restructured for the convenience of the students.

    III. The students may welcome the decision taken by the CBSE.

    Solution

    Answer: B: Only I and IIIExplanation: The statement mentions that the CBSE will give a 15-minute "cool-off" period to students and restructure some question papers for their convenience. Based on this, we can infer the following assumptions:- I. The students may use the 15-minute gap to plan and think about their answer. This assumption is implicit as the purpose of the "cool-off" period is likely to allow students to gather their thoughts and strategize their approach to the exam. - II. The extra time may be helpful to students in revising their answer. This assumption is not implicit in the statement as the "cool-off" period is provided before the students start answering the questions, not after they have completed the exam. Therefore, it cannot be used for revision purposes.- III. The students may welcome the decision taken by the CBSE. This assumption is implicit as the statement mentions that the changes are being made for the convenience of the students, implying that they are expected to appreciate and welcome the decision.

It only states that the Supreme Court believes it will reduce some social problems.- Assumption II: The Centre and State governments may abide by the instruction issued by the Supreme Court. - This assumption is implicit in the statement because the statement mentions that the Supreme Court has directed the governments to take action. This implies that the governments may follow the instructions given by the Supreme Court.- Assumption III: The people may follow the initiatives taken by the Centre or the State governments. - This assumption is implicit in the statement because the purpose of the directive is to reduce social problems. If people do not follow the initiatives taken by the governments, the directive would not be effective in achieving its purpose.Therefore, only assumptions II and III are implicit in the statement.

    Solution

    Only II and III

    The statement "Do not serve liquor at unlicensed premises without obtaining L-49A licence "is a notice issued by the Department of Excise in all newspapers. This implies that the Department of Excise is assuming that newspaper can be a successful mode of making people aware of the notice. This is assumption II.

    The statement does not imply anything about whether all people read newspapers or whether the consumption of liquor is injurious to health, so assumptions I and III are not implicit in the statement. Therefore, the correct answer is 3, Only II and III.

  • Question 7

    Q. Statement: “Do not buy/consume liquor if you are below 25 years of age.”–A notice on a board issued in public interest by the Department of Excise.

    Assumptions:
    I. It is good to know all rules related with excise.
    II. Consuming liquor can make the person –below 25 years –penniless.

     

    Solution

     

    • Assumption I:  The statement focuses on a specific rule (prohibiting liquor consumption for those under 25). It does not imply that knowing  all  excise rules is necessary or good. The notice is a directive, not an endorsement of broader rule awareness.

    • Assumption II:  The notice does not specify  why  under-25s should avoid liquor. While negative consequences (health, legal, financial) are plausible, "pennilessness "is a specific and unstated assumption. The warning could be motivated by health risks, legal compliance, or social responsibility, not explicitly financial ruin.

    Neither assumption is logically required by the statement. The correct answer is  D .
