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 :16

  • Statement :
  • The college administration has instructed all the students to stop using cell phones within the college premises.
  • Assumptions :
  • I : The students may stop using cell phones in the college premises.
  • II : The students may continue to use cell phones in the college premises.

Answer: (c)

When you instruct someone to do something, you assume that he may do it.

Hence I is implicit and II is not.

Question :17

  • Statement :
  • The government announced a heavy compensation package for all the victims of the terrorist attacks.
  • Assumptions :
  • I : Such incidents of terror may not occur in near future.
  • II : Compensation may mitigate the anger among the citizens against the current government.

Answer: (d)

Compensation is a way of sympathizing with the victims, not a deterrent to terrorism.

Hence II is implicit but I is not.

Question :18

  • 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 :19

  • Statement :
  • "If you are a first-class graduate with good communication skills an also have work experience of at least two years in sales-related activities, you are welcome in our organization" - An employment advertisement.
  • Assumptions :
  • I : Many with good communication skills may not respond to the advertisement.
  • II : All the first-class graduates may possess good communication skills.

Answer: (a)

If the response does not come, as Assumption I says, the ad won't make sense.

Hence I is not implicit. II is not implicit; hence the qualification "with good communication skills".

Question :20

  • Statement :
  • The city transport corporation has introduced air-conditioned buses on various routes to attract people travelling to their work places by car and hence reduce congestion on the roads.
  • Assumptions :
  • I : Majority of the people may still prefer to travel to their work places in their own cars.
  • II : Many people may now opt for these buses for travelling to their work places.

Answer: (d)

II is implicit as it serves the purpose of introducing AC buses.

Contrary to this, I is not implicit as it defeats the purpose.
