Question : 1

Statement:
“Bar Council of India (BCI) has decided to go on a hunger strike to protest the implementation of the Legal Services Authority (Amendment) Act.”
— Chairman of BCI
Assumptions:
I. The amendment has several loopholes and is bound to hurt the litigants’ interests.
II. All the members of BCI will welcome the decision.
III. The hunger strike held in front of the court will put a pressure on the respective authority.

a) Only I

b) Only I and II

c) Only I and III

d) All I, II and III

e) None of these

Answer: (e)

I is not implicit: will it hurt the litigants’ interests or the lawyers’? II is not implicit because of the word all. III deviates by mentioning the venue.

Question : 2

Statement:
Mandatory verification of identity before acquiring a prepaid cellular connection is taking a toll on numbers.
— CEO of a cellular company
Assumptions:
I. Lesser subscribers have joined due to decrease in subscription rate.
II. Unnecessary delay as well as red-tapism discourages consumer’s appetite.
III. Holders of cellulars do not want to reveal their identity.

a) Only I and II

b) Only II and III

c) Only I and III

d) None

e) None of these

Answer: (e)

Either II or III is implicit. The number have decreased because of “mandatory verification of identity”. Why? Either it is the fear of consequent procedural delay or people fight shy of revealing their identity. Assumption I is unrelated to the statement.

Question : 3

Statement:
“We must select educators and not academics. They should have the ability to teach in the canteen or even at bus stop!”
— Mr X
Assumptions:
I. Teaching is an art. It asks for a thorough knowledge of the subject as well as the ability to put across that knowledge to others.
II. The skills required in transmitting knowledge are, at times, quite different from a person’s receiving skills.
III. It is not necessarily true that a good student will also be a good teacher.

a) Only I

b) Only I and III

c) Only II and III

d) All

e) None of these

Answer: (c)

I is not implicit because it mentions the words ‘thorough knowledge’.

Hence I can’t be correlated with the statement. II and III are implicit; that is why the speaker distinguishes an educator from an academic.

Question : 4

Statement:
The Government of India has set up onestop facilitation counters manned by trained staff to attend to the various needs of the foreign tourists at all the international airports.
Assumptions:
I. There are adequate trained staff available to man these counters in shifts.
II. The services provided by these counters will help boost inflow of foreign tourists.
III. Majority of the foreign tourists need variety of services when they reach India.

a) Only I and II are implicit

b) Only II and III are implicit

c) Only III is implicit

d) All are implicit

e) None of these

Answer: (d)

Why did the government take such an initiative? It mut be assuming III.

Hence, III is implicit. Again, any measure is taken by a government with its efficacy in mind.

Hence, II is implicit. Again, how will the initiative taken by the government fulfil the objective?

Hence, the government must be assuming I.

Question : 5

Statement:
“The return of country X as a full-fledged member of the Commonwealth is dependent on the ‘credibility’ of the election which will be in process next year.”
— Head of Commonwealth Observers’ Group (COG).
Assumptions:
I. ‘Credibility’ of the election process can be measured in tangible terms.
II. Election process in country X always remains a matter of debate for the world community.
III. World community has a common desire to restore democracy and its ethics all over the world.

a) All I, II and II

b) None

c) Only I

d) Only II

e) None of these

Answer: (b)

That credibility can be gauged is all that we can assume. Whether it can be measured is beyond our scope.

Hence I is not implicit. II is not implicit because of ‘always’. Besides, both II and III attempt to equate the Commonwealth with the world community.

Question : 6

Statement:
All the single-screen theatre halls in the city have declared indefinite strike and have warned that they will not withdraw strike unless the government accepts their demand of reducing entertainment tax to 50% of the present level and also treat these halls at par with multi-screen halls on all the relevant matters.
Assumptions:
I. The employees of all the cinema halls may disagree with the management and may appeal to the government to declare the strike illegal.
II. The government may accept all the demands of the striking cinema halls to avoid any backlash from the public.
III. The general public may support the cause of the cinema hall owners and put pressure on the government to accept their demands.

a) None is implicit

b) Only I is implicit

c) Only III is implicit

d) Only II is implicit

e) All are implicit

Answer: (a)

The strike involves only two parties: the cinema halls and the government. The employees or the public have nothing to do with the strike.

Hence I and II are not implicit. II is not implicit because of the word all.
