Question : 1

Statement:
Unless the officials do their duty honestly and with the spirit to serve the nation, the constitution of any number of safety boards amounts to nothing but paper work.
Assumptions:
I. Safety boards are useless.
II. Employees of the department can prevent accidents.

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)

Even a good suggestion by safety boards cannot prevent accidents if the employees will not desire to implement those suggestions.

Hence II is implicit and I is not implicit.

Question : 2

Statement:
It may sound harsh but it is true that people no longer feel safe in the hands of the police.
Assumptions:
I. Police are unable to protect the citizens.
II. There is no certainty of one’s life in police custody.

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: (c)

From the term harsh it is clear that the speaker is assuming that the police are not serving the purpose for which they are there. The meaning of the two assumptions is different.

Hence either I or II.

Question : 3

Use our medicine to fight the problem of obesity.

c) if either I or II is implicit.

d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

e) if both I and II are implicit.

I would be implicit if the statement said “Use only our medicine ...”. Again, the instruction to use is only of an advisory nature, not mandatory.

Hence II is not implicit.

Woman is the embodiment of sacrifices.

I. Man should not make sacrifices as this role is entrusted to females.

a) if only assumption I is implicit.

b) if only assumption II is implicit.

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 : 5

Statement:
The ‘X’ group of employees’ association have opposed Voluntary Retirement Scheme to the employees of some organisations.

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.
