  • 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: Mohan requested his mother to arrange food for about thirty persons as he invited all his friends to celebrate his birthday.

    Assumptions:

    I. Most of Mohan ’s friends may come to his house on his birthday.

    II. There may not be more than thirty who may attend Mohan ’s birthday party. 

    Solution
    • Assumption I: This is implicit. Mohan ’s request to arrange food for thirty people suggests that he assumes most of his invited friends will attend the celebration.
    • Assumption II: This is not implicit. The statement only mentions arranging food for "about thirty "people, but it does not assume there cannot be more than thirty attendees. It simply reflects an estimation.

    Thus, the correct answer is A: Only Assumption I 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: Many organizations have switched over to online mode of examinations.

    Assumptions:

    I. Candidates from all parts of the country may be well-versed using computers.

    II. Online mode of examinations helps in recruiting  more capable personnel. 

    Solution
    • Assumption I: This is implicit. For organizations to switch to the online mode of examinations, they must assume that candidates are familiar with computers and capable of navigating an online exam system. If this assumption were not made, it would be risky to switch to online exams, as candidates might face difficulties.
    • Assumption II: This is not necessarily implicit. The statement does not imply that the purpose of switching to the online mode of examination is to recruit more capable personnel. The switch could be due to other reasons, such as efficiency, cost-effectiveness, or convenience. There is no direct indication that online exams are believed to lead to better recruitment outcomes in terms of the capability of candidates.

    Thus, the correct answer is A: Only Assumption I 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: Government has decided to relocate all the factories from the city with immediate effect to reduce pollution.

    Assumptions:

    I. Pollution in the city is being caused only because of the factories existing there.

    II. People may be able to manage travelling daily to the relocated factories. 

    Solution
    • Assumption I : This assumption is implicit because the statement suggests relocating factories as a solution to reduce pollution, implying that factories are a primary source of the pollution. However, it does not necessarily mean that factories are the only cause of pollution, so this assumption is not fully supported.
    • Assumption II : This assumption is implicit because if factories are relocated, people would need to travel to the new locations. The statement assumes that managing this change in terms of travel is feasible.

    Given this analysis:

    • Assumption I is not fully implicit as it assumes that factories are the only cause of pollution, which is not necessarily stated or implied.
    • Assumption II is implicit as the statement implies that relocation will have practical implications for people 's travel arrangements.

    Thus, the answer is: B

  • 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: Mr. X started at 9.00 am from his residence to attend a meeting scheduled to be held at 11.00 am and instructed his assistant to meet him at the venue of the meeting and hand over the relevant documents.

    Assumptions:

    I. Mr. X may arrive at the meeting place before 11.00 a.m.

    II. Mr. X ’s assistant may be able to arrive at the venue before commencement of the meeting. 

    Solution
    • Assumption I: This is implicit. Mr. X started his journey two hours before the scheduled time, which suggests that he assumes he will arrive at the meeting venue before or at 11:00 am. If he did not assume this, he would not have left so early.
    • Assumption II: This is also implicit. Mr. X ’s instruction to his assistant to hand over documents at the venue before the meeting implies that he assumes the assistant will also be able to reach the venue before the meeting begins.

    Thus, the correct answer is E: Both Assumptions I and II are 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: “For easier and faster communication, use our broadband connections.”–An advertisement

    Assumptions:

    I. Many people are looking up for best communication facilities.

    II. Broadband connections are preferred mode of communication. 

    Solution
    • Assumption I: This is implicit. The advertisement aims to attract people by promoting broadband connections as a solution for easier and faster communication. It assumes that many people are actively seeking better communication facilities, which is why they would be interested in this offer.
    • Assumption II: This is not necessarily implicit. The statement suggests that broadband is a good option, but it does not assume that broadband is already the preferred mode of communication. It is trying to persuade people to use broadband by highlighting its benefits.

    Thus, the correct answer is A: Only Assumption I is 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: Traffic jams on most of the roads in the city have become a regular feature during monsoon.

    Assumptions:

    I. Material used for road construction cannot withstand the fury of monsoon resulting into innumerable pot holes on the roads.

    II. Number of vehicles coming on the roads is much more in monsoon as compared to other seasons. 

    Solution
    • Assumption I: This is implicit. The statement suggests that traffic jams are a regular occurrence during the monsoon, which could be because of poor road conditions caused by rain. The assumption that the material used for road construction is inadequate during the monsoon is valid in this context.
    • Assumption II: This is not necessarily implicit. The statement does not suggest that the number of vehicles increases during the monsoon. The traffic jams may be caused by factors such as road conditions, not necessarily an increase in vehicles.

    Thus, the correct answer is A: Only Assumption I 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: There has been a remarkable increase in the air traffic in India during the past few years.

    Assumptions:

    I. Travelling by air has become a status symbol now.

    II. Large number of people are able to afford air travel now. 

    Solution
    • Assumption I: This is not implicit. The increase in air traffic does not necessarily indicate that air travel has become a status symbol. The statement focuses on the rise in traffic, which could be due to many factors unrelated to status.
    • Assumption II: This is implicit. The increase in air traffic likely suggests that more people can afford air travel, which is a reasonable assumption given the statement 's emphasis on the remarkable growth of air traffic in recent years.

    Thus, the correct answer is B: Only Assumption II is 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: An advertisement: If you want to follow the footprints of an ideal leader, wear ‘X ’brand of shoes.

    Assumptions:

    I. Most people like to become ideal leaders.

    II. One can ’t become ideal leader unless one wears ‘X ’brand of shoes. 

    Solution
    • Assumption I: This is implicit. The advertisement appeals to people ’s desire to follow or emulate ideal leaders, implying that many people aspire to be like ideal leaders.
    • Assumption II: This is not implicit. The statement does not suggest that wearing 'X 'brand of shoes is the only way to become an ideal leader. It uses persuasive language to promote the brand but does not claim that it is a necessity for leadership.

    Thus, the correct answer is A: 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: Vitamin E tablets improve circulation, keep your complexion in a glowing condition.

    Assumptions:

    I. People like a glowing complexion.

    II. Complexion becomes dull in the absence of circulation. 

    Solution
    • Assumption I: This is implicit. The statement promotes Vitamin E tablets by highlighting their benefit for a glowing complexion, which assumes that people value and desire to have a glowing complexion. Otherwise, the mention of this benefit would be irrelevant.
    • Assumption II: This is also implicit. The statement links good circulation to a glowing complexion, implying that poor circulation may result in a dull complexion. The claim about improving circulation to enhance complexion assumes that a lack of circulation negatively affects the skin ’s appearance.

    Thus, the correct answer is A: Both Assumptions I and II are 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: “You must learn to refer to dictionary if you want to become a good writer.”–A advises B.

    Assumptions:

    I. Only writers refer to the dictionary.

    II. All writers, good or bad, refer to the dictionary. 

    Solution
    • Assumption I: This is not implicit. The statement suggests that referring to the dictionary can help improve writing, but it does not imply that only writers use dictionaries. Many people who are not writers may also refer to the dictionary.
    • Assumption II: This is also not implicit. The statement advises B to refer to the dictionary to become a good writer but does not suggest that all writers (good or bad) necessarily do so.

    Thus, the correct answer is D: Neither Assumption I nor II is implicit.
