Question : 1

Statement:
The largest domestic airlines corporation has announced new summer schedules in which more number of flights in trunk routes are introduced.

b) if only assumption II is implicit.

c) if either I or II is implicit.

d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

c) if either I or II is implicit.

d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

Question : 3

Statement:
One should see the problems the so-called Asian Tigers are undergoing, and the huge loans they are forced to take from the IMF. India should learn from what has happened in these Asian countries.
Assumptions:
I. If India does not exercise caution, it will also go the way Asian Tigers have.
II. Taking loan from IMF is not a good sign.

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 : India is being asked to learn. Which assumes India may also be threatened by a similar problem. Note carefully that II is not implicit.

What is assumed is that being forced to take loan from the IMF is not a good sign. If one simply takes loan, that is, voluntarily so, that may be considered a healthy growth.

Question : 4

Statement:
"For any kind of problem with your mobile phone, contact our help desk immediately".
Assumptions:
I. Help desk has a solution to all kinds of problems related to mobile phones or will guide accordingly.
II. Unless the problem is reported immediatedly, it may not be solved.

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.

It is clear from the statement that both assumptions are implicit.

Question : 5

Statement:
There must be some addictive substance in Gutkha. Whenever I don’t chew it for more than two hours, I feel uneasy.
Assumptions:
I. Feeling uneasy is a sign of addiction.
II. Gutkha should be taken once every two hours.

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)

Feeling uneasy is not a sign of addiction in itself. Feeling uneasy after avoiding Gutkha is a sign of addiction. [Read I carefully. If you have the book Magical Book: Analytical Reasoning, refer to page it immediately.]

Secondly, a thing that is suspected to be addictive can never be advised to be taken every two hours! Both I and II are not 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)

Assumption I may not be implicit. It is beyond the scope of the statement due to lack of any specific clue. But assumption II seems quite plausible. That is why people’s participation has been sought.
