II. Women are more disciplined than men on the roads.
III. If women start driving buses and autos it would increase chances of safety for commuters.

“Graduates with first-class are eligible to apply for the admission to MBA courses in our Institute”. - An advertisement by a Management Institute.
Assumptions:
I. Only those who are first-class graduates can cope up with the studies for MBA courses.
II. There are plenty of first class graduates who are likely to apply for admission to MBA.

a) Only I is implicit
b) Only II is implicit
c) Only III is implicit
d) Only I and II are implicit
e) All I, II and III are implicit
Answer »Answer: (b)
I is not implicit because of the word ‘only’. II is obvious; that is why graduates with first class only are being considered eligible for the course. III is beyond the scope of the statement;
Hence III is not implicit.
Question : 2
Statement:
“If you did not have a mobile connection of MTNL you will feel a jolt when you come to know about a unique, free incoming facility from 10 PM to 8 AM, without any condition, for any network.”
— X tells Y

III. People like free incoming facilities without any condition.
a) Only I
b) Only I and II
c) Only II and III
d) Only I and III
e) None of these
Answer »Answer: (e)
I is correct because otherwise X can’t hint at the fact about the unique facility provided to MTNL subscribers. II is also correct. Why else should X tell this to Y? III is also correct. Why will Y feel a jolt?
Hence, all are correct.

A one-day token strike was called by the employees in Government organisations to protest against privatization of profit-making Public Sector Undertakings.”
Assumptions:
I. The Government may favourably consider the views of the employees.
II. Strike is the most popular tool used by people to protest.
III. The strike may bring pressure on the Government, forcing them to reconsider the decision.
a) Only I is implicit
b) Only II is implicit
c) Only I and III are implicit
d) All I, II and III are implicit
e) None of these
Answer »Answer: (c)
Why did the employees call a strike? They must be assuming that strike can be an effective tool. It can put pressure on the government and the government may be compelled to consider the views of the employees.
Hence, I and III are implicit. II goes beyond the scope of the statement.
Hence, II is not implicit.
Question : 4

“An asteroid which burned up in the earth’s atmosphere in June could have triggered a mistaken nuclear war between India and Pakistan had it detonated over South Asia.”
— Statement of Mr X in a report in The New York Times.

I. India and Pakistan are equipped with nuclear weapons.
II. Neither India nor Pakistan had the sophisticated sensors that could determine the difference between a natural NEO (near-earth object) impact and a nuclear detonation.
III. India and Pakistan have no good relationship with each other.
a) Only I
b) Only I and II
c) Only II and III
d) Only I and III
e) All I, II and III
Answer »Answer: (e)
The phrase ‘nuclear war’ used in the statement indicates that the speaker must be assuming I. The word, ‘mistaken’ implies that he must be assuming II also. Why does the speaker think of the possibility of war between India and Pakistan? He must be assuming III also.

b) Only I and II are implicit
c) Only II is implicit
d) Only II and III are implicit
e) None of these
Answer »Answer: (b)
Why did the civic authority take such an initiative in order to reduce the pollution? It must be assuming that the move will fulfil the desired objective.
Hence, I is implicit. And, how can the move be made effective? Obviously, the civic authority must be assuming II.
Hence, II is implicit. III can’t be correlated with the statement.
Hence, III is not implicit.

Statement:
“Performing complex mental tasks whilst driving is dangerous.”
— A psychologist
Assumptions:
I. Thinking too much reduces the ability to spot potential problems and react to them safely.

d) All I, II and III
e) None of these
