Question : 1

Statement:
He continues to be busy as he was while handling the premier investigating agency.
Assumptions:
I. Nowadays he is busy writing books.
II. The speaker is talking about the ex-CBI chief.

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: (d)

Neither the name of the department nor the post held by him can be assumed from the statement.

Hence II is not implicit. Also, nothing about his present job status can be assumed.

Hence I is not implicit.

Question : 2

Statement:
The ‘X’ group of employees’ association have opposed Voluntary Retirement Scheme to the employees of some organisations.
Assumptions:
I. Only those employees who are not efficient may opt for the scheme.
II. The response of the employees may be lukewarm towards the scheme and it may not benefit the organisation to the desired level.

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: (d)

The employees’ association is generally concerned with the welfare of employees and not with the benefit of the organisation.

Hence II is not implicit. I, also, is not an assumption.

Question : 3

Statement:
Woman is the embodiment of sacrifices.
Assumptions:
I. Man should not make sacrifices as this role is entrusted to females.
II. Women usually make sacrifices.

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)

I is a bizarre assumption. The statement does not assume anything about what men or women should (not) do. II is implicit because to become the embodiment of something, much has to be proved first.

Question : 4

Statement:
“God bless all the parents whose children passed away in the Yamuna waters.”
— A student.

II. Some children have died by drowning.

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: (a)

I is implicit: an atheist would not invoke god for blessings. II is not an assumption but a restatement: “passed away in the Yamuna waters” itself means “died by drowning in the Yamuna.”

d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

Answer: (e)

Efforts of Y obviously makes I implicit. One does not make effort to reach an impossible target. The wording ‘Since my childhood’ makes II also implicit.
