  • Question 1
    1 / -0.25

    A statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.
    Statement: A major retail store announced thirty percent reduction on all food items during the weekend.

    Assumptions:

    I. People may still prefer buying food items from other stores.

    II. A large number of customers may visit the retail store and buy food items. 

    Solution
    • Assumption I: This assumption is not necessarily implicit because the statement does not indicate that the store is concerned about losing customers to other stores. The focus of the statement is on attracting customers, not about their preferences for other stores.
    • Assumption II: This is implicit because the purpose of the discount is likely to attract more customers to the store. Announcing a discount implies the expectation that a large number of people will come to take advantage of the offer.

    Thus, the correct answer is B: Only Assumption II is implicit.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0.25

    A statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

    Statement: The school authority has decided to give five grace marks in English to all the students of Std. IX as the performance of these students in English was below expectation.

    Assumptions:

    I. Majority of the students of Std. IX may still fail in English even after giving grace marks.

    II. Majority of the students of Std. IX may now pass in English after giving grace marks.

    Solution
    • Assumption I: This is not implicit. The decision to give grace marks suggests the school expects an improvement in results. The statement does not imply that the school believes students will still fail even after awarding grace marks.
    • Assumption II: This is implicit. The reason for giving grace marks is to help students improve their performance, implying the school believes that most students will pass with the help of these additional marks.

    Thus, the correct answer is B: Only Assumption II is implicit.

  • Question 3
    1 / -0.25

    A statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

    Statement: “Join our Yoga institute to keep yourself completely fit.”–An advertisement

    Assumptions:

    I. People may prefer exercise to medication.

    II. There is an awareness to a great extent about Yoga exercises among people. 

    Solution
    • Assumption I: The advertisement does not necessarily imply that people prefer exercise over medication. It only promotes Yoga as a fitness method without indicating people 's preferences between exercise and medication.
    • Assumption II: This is implicit because the advertisement assumes that people are aware of Yoga and its benefits. Without such awareness, the advertisement wouldn 't be effective in encouraging people to join the Yoga institute.

    Thus, the correct answer is B: Only Assumption II is implicit.

  • Question 4
    1 / -0.25

    A statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

    Statement: If you want to get a good job you must have at least the basic knowledge of computers.

    Assumptions:

    I. All good jobs involve use of computers.

    II. Computer knowledge has been made an essential criterion by most of the companies now a days. 

    Solution
    • Assumption I: This is not necessarily implicit. The statement does not imply that all good jobs require the use of computers, only that computer knowledge is important for many of them. There may still be good jobs that do not involve computers.
    • Assumption II: This is implicit. The statement assumes that companies, in general, consider computer knowledge important enough for it to be a criterion for securing a good job.

    Thus, the correct answer is B: Only Assumption II is implicit.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0.25

    A statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.
    Statement: As a measure to avoid occurrence of the epidemics due to monsoon the civic authorities have organised free vaccination camps all over the city.

    Assumptions:

    I. There may be a good response to the camps organized by civic authorities.

    II. People are likely to attend the camps because they understand the importance of vaccination for preventing epidemics.

    Solution
    • Assumption I: The civic authorities have organized free vaccination camps with the expectation that people will attend. If the authorities did not expect any participation, organizing these camps would serve little purpose. Therefore, Assumption I is implicit, as it connects the initiative with the anticipated public response.
    • Assumption II: This assumption directly links people 's understanding of the importance of vaccination to their likelihood of attending the camps. The statement implies that the authorities are counting on this understanding to ensure participation, since no additional public awareness measures are mentioned. Therefore, Assumption II is also implicit. as it assumes that people are aware of the importance of vaccination and will attend based on this understanding.

    Both assumptions are necessary for the statement to make sense —civic authorities would assume that there will be a good response (Assumption I) and that people understand the importance of vaccination (Assumption II).
    Thus, the correct answer is (e) if both Assumptions I and II are implicit.

  • Question 6
    1 / -0.25

    A statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

    Statement: Many people fell ill after consuming meal at a wedding reception and were rushed to the nearby govt. and private hospitals.

    Assumptions:

    I. The relatives of the affected people may refuse to take them to the Govt. hospitals.

    II. The nearby hospitals may be able to attend to all the affected people.  

    Solution
    • Assumption I: This is not implicit. The statement does not suggest that there is a likelihood of relatives refusing to take the affected people to government hospitals. It merely states that people were taken to both government and private hospitals.
    • Assumption II: This is implicit. The statement implies that nearby hospitals are expected to handle the situation, meaning the assumption is that these hospitals have the capacity to attend to all the affected individuals.

    Thus, the correct answer is B: Only Assumption II is implicit.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0.25

    A statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

    Statement: The municipal authority blocked movement of traffic in and around the temple on the main festival day.

    Assumptions:

    I. Very large number of devotees may visit the temple on the main festival day.

    II. People travelling to the areas near the temple may postpone their journey by a day unless they have very urgent work in that area. 

    Solution
    • Assumption I: This is implicit. The decision to block traffic suggests that the municipal authority expects a large crowd of devotees to visit the temple, leading to congestion.
    • Assumption II: This is also implicit. The statement assumes that people who do not have urgent work might reschedule their travel to avoid the inconvenience caused by the traffic block.

    Thus, the correct answer is E: Both Assumptions I and II are implicit.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0.25

    A statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

    Statement: The government has instructed all the private schools in the city to maintain the current fees for at least two more years.

    Assumptions:

    I. The authorities of private schools may not follow the govt instruction as they are not dependent on govt. funds.

    II. The parents of the students of private schools of the city may still be eager to pay higher fees. 

    Solution

    Assumption I: The authorities of private schools may not follow the government instruction as they are not dependent on government funds.

    • This assumption suggests that the private schools may ignore the government 's instruction because they do not rely on government funding. It is implicit because the statement implies that the schools have the freedom to follow or not follow the instructions.

    Assumption II: The parents of the students of private schools of the city may still be eager to pay higher fees.

    • This assumption is about the willingness of parents to pay higher fees despite the government 's instruction. This assumption is not directly connected to the government 's instruction; rather, it speculates on parents 'behavior, which is not implicit in the statement.

    Only Assumption I is implicit, as it directly relates to the possibility of the schools not following the government instruction due to their independence from government funds.

    Ans: D  - if only Assumption I is implicit.

  • Question 9
    1 / -0.25

    A statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

    Statement: The municipal authority has decided to demolish the old bridge on a bus road for constructing a new flyover.

    Assumptions:

    I. The traffic department may be able to divert movement of vehicles through alternate roads.

    II. The people travelling in the nearby areas may demonstrate to protest against the authority ’s decision. 

    Solution
    • Assumption I: This is implicit. The decision to demolish the bridge assumes that the traffic department has a plan in place to manage and divert vehicles through alternate routes during construction.
    • Assumption II: This is not necessarily implicit. There is no indication in the statement that people would protest the decision, so this assumption is speculative and not necessarily taken for granted in the statement.

    Thus, the correct answer is A: Only Assumption I is implicit.

  • Question 10
    1 / -0.25

    A statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

    Statement: Many employees of the organisation applied for special sabbatical leave of two years to pursue higher education.

    Assumptions:

    I. The management of the organisation may not grant leave to most of these employees.

    II. These employees may be able to complete their education during the sabbatical leave. 

    Solution
    • Assumption I: This suggests that the management might reject the leave requests. However, the statement does not provide any indication of management 's stance on the leave applications. It simply states that many employees have applied for sabbatical leave. Therefore, there is no basis in the statement to support this assumption.
    • Assumption II: This suggests that the employees who applied for sabbatical leave believe that two years will be sufficient to complete their higher education. This assumption is reasonable as employees would typically apply for leave with the expectation that it would cover the duration of their education.

    Given the analysis:

    • Assumption I is not necessarily implicit in the statement.
    • Assumption II is implicit because employees applying for the leave likely believe they can complete their education in that time.

    Thus, the correct answer is: if only Assumption II is implicit.
