  • Statement:
  • "Private property, trespassers will be prosecuted"-A notice on a plot of land.

b) If only assumption II is implicit;

c) If either I or II is implicit;

d) If neither I nor II is implicit and

e) If both I and II are implicit.

Any notice is displayed assuming that people will read the notice and also follow the content of the notice. So, I is implicit.

Question : 12 [R.B.I. 2004]

  • Statement:
  • The government has decided to disinvest a large chunk of its equity in select public sector undertakings for better fiscal management.
  • Assumptions:
  • I. The amount generated out of the disinvestment process may reduce substantially the mounting fiscal deficits.

b) If only assumption II is implicit;

c) If either I or II is implicit;

d) If neither I nor II is implicit and

e) If both I and II are implicit.

Answer: (a)

The fact given in I directly follows from the phrase’… for better fiscal management’ in the statement. So, I is implicit.

However, the public response to the new policy cannot be ascertained. So, II is not implicit.

  • Statement:
  • If he is intelligent, he will pass the examination.
  • Assumptions:

c) If either I or II is implicit;

d) If neither I nor II is implicit and

  • Statement:
  • Kartick left for Delhi on Tuesday by train to attend a function to be held on Friday at his uncle's house in Delhi.

e) If both I and II are implicit.

Answer: (b)

Clearly, it cannot be deduced as to which day Kartick would reach Delhi. But Kartick has left for Delhi to attend a function to be held on Friday.

So, he must have planned his journey to reach Delhi before Friday. Thus, only II is implicit.

c) If either I or II is implicit;

d) If neither I nor II is implicit and

Since nothing is mentioned about the predictability of intelligence, II is not implicit.
