Question : 1

If a region is crying for development, establish a new university, an advanced medical institute and a centre for agricultural research there
— and wait for the results.

c) if either I or II is implicit.

Question : 2

Statement:
Banking has traditionally been a highlysought-after career because of its stability and the growth prospects it offers.

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)

We don’t know whether “people of modern times” are opposed to what has “traditionally” been there.

Hence I is not implicit. II is implicit because “growth prospects” are as important as “stability”.

Statement:
“The ElectionCommission should curtail election expenditure.”
