  1. if only assumption I is implicit.

Question : 31

Statement:
For any kind of problem with your mobile phone, contact our helpdesk immediately.
Assumptions:
I.Helpdesk has a solution to all kinds of problems related to mobile phones or will guide accordingly.
II.Unless the problem is reported immediately, it cannot be solved.

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 because of the use of “any” in the statement. II is not implicit. It is possible that the problem can be solved even later. The instruction to contact “immediately” is only for the sake of convenience of the customer.

Question : 32

Statement:
In country ‘X’ a public servant cannot claim immunity from prosecution for any objectionable act committed while performing his official duty.
Assumptions:
I. A public servant is likely to commit an objectionable act while performing his official duty.
II. Every one is equal before law.

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. The provision would not have existed if there were no likelihood of such an act being committed. II is not implicit. Merely debarring public servants from immunity does not ensure equality for all.

Question : 33

Statement:
It is not true always that the adoption of latest technology ensures increased productivity and capacity.
Assumptions:
I. It is possible to prove that increased productivity and capacity are due to adoption of latest technology.
II. The productivity and capacity can be increased by discarding latest technology.

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)

The words ‘not true always’ implies that sometimes the move bears positive results.

Hence, the speaker must be assuming I. II is obviously not implicit.

Question : 34

Statement:
“Never use obvious PIN like your car registration no., birthdate, telephone no., etc. Change your pin every three months.”
— An instruction to customers of a bank who enjoy ATM facilities
Assumptions:
I. ATM cards issued by a bank to customers might be lost by some customers.
II. Some people may try to use ATM cards of others clandestinely to withdraw money.

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: (e)

The instruction to customers is aimed at ensuring safety and restricing unauthorised person’s accessibility to any individual’s account.

Hence, the speaker must be assuming that an unauthorised person can access others’ account.

Question : 35

Statement:
“Medical and defence communities should always keep vigil as prompt diagnosis and early intervention could reduce morbidity and mortality and mitigate the ill-effects of a biological attack.”
— Mr ‘X’ makes ‘Y’ aware of his opinion.
Assumptions:
I. Biological attack is not desirable for society.
II. Medical and defence communities are equipped with the instruments of diagnosis.

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: (e)

Advocating prompt diagnosis makes II implicit. Again, making effort in the direction of mitigating the ill-effects of a biological attack indicates that the speaker must be assuming I.
