statement and assumption Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ibps clerk prelims 2023

Directions:

In each question below is given 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 assumption and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

Question :1

  • 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.

Answer: (d)

When one applies for leave, one assumes that it would be granted. Hence I is not implicit.

But Assumption II is implicit because only then period of "two years" assumes meaning.

Question :2

  • Statement :
  • The local citizens group submitted a memorandum to the civic authority for allowing them to convert the vacant plot in the locality into a garden at their own cost.
  • Assumptions :
  • I : The local citizen group may be able to gather enough funds to develop the garden.
  • II :The civic authority may not accede to the requests of the local citizen group.

Answer: (c)

Assumption I is implicit in "at their own cost" Assumption II is contrary to what the citizens may have assumed.

Question :3

  • Statement :
  • The state govt has announced an amnesty scheme for all the housing societies defaulting on payment of municipal taxes asking these societies to pay upfront six per cent of the dues and regularize their status without any penalty.
  • Assumptions :
  • I : Most of the defaulting housing societies may now opt for the amnesty scheme and pay up their dues.
  • II : Other housing societies which have been paying their taxes regularly may file case against the govt for discriminatory practices.

Answer: (c)

I is implicit because whenever a scheme is announced, it is assumed that people will welcome it. II is not implicit.

Had fear been there on the mind of the govt, it would have refrained from introducing such a scheme.

Question :4

  • Statement :
  • The railway authority has announced suspension of movements of train on the main track within the city limit for carrying out major repair works of Saturday and Sunday and advised the commuters to plan their journey accordingly.
  • Assumptions :
  • I : The commuters may protest against the decision of the railway authority and may disrupt other transport services.
  • II : The municipal authority may be able to deploy additional buses during Saturday and Sunday to help the commuters.

Answer: (a)

I is not implicit because an announcement is made with the assumption that it will be positively received.

It is not implicit because the municipal authority is not covered by the ambit of the statement.

Question :5

  • 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.

Answer: (c)

Assumption I is implicit because only then the switching over makes sense.

But II need not be an assumption.

The switching over may have been prompted by economic factors or those of convenience.
