World Health Organisation has decided to double its assistance to various health programmes in India as per capita expenditure on health in India is very low compared to many other countries.

a) if only assumption I is implicit.

b) if only assumption II is implicit.

c) if either I or II is implicit.

d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

e) if both I and II are implicit.

Answer: (b)

The real concern of WHO is the low per capita expenditure on health in India. Now, how will the initiative taken by WHO minimise the concern? The assumption is that the enhanced assistance may substantially increase the per capita expenditure on health in India. But, assumption I is not implicit due to the last part of it, ie ‘and bring it on par with other countries.’ Again, no one provides help to others unless one assumes that the other needs it.

Hence, assumption II is implicit.

Hence, II must be assumed.

Confinement of Ram temple movement in the northern part of India indicates that the speaker must be assuming I. II is not implicit. Mr Y does assume the desirability of true Indian civilisation. But is it for “harmony”? We don’t.
