  1. if only assumption I is implicit.

Question : 16

Statement:
“‘Music Loving Club’ has announced a wide variety of programmes by the visiting musicians.”
— An advertisement
Assumptions:
I. A large number of people are interested to get entertainment through the programme.
II. The artistes may attract a large number of audience.

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)

Why has the club announced a wide variety of music programmes by the visiting musicians? The organisers must be assuming that the musicians may be able to play a variety of programmes to interest the people. Besides this, they must be assuming also that the programme will attract audience.

Thus, both I and II are implicit.

Question : 17

Statement:
“If the Indian men play to potential they have a good chance to make the grade this time in Thomas Cup.”
— The coach of Indian badminton team.
Assumptions:
I. Indian men have the potential to win the trophy.
II. Indian men have the potential but they do not want to perform good.

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 coach is assuming I, otherwise he won’t stress on his men’s potential. II can’t be assumed: the intention of player is a different matter.

Question : 18

Statement:
Politicians turning into ministers is a natural transformation even if the quality of performance rarely matches expectations.
Assumptions:
I. No ministers have adequate quality and skills.
II. Ministers should be able to handle their job efficiently.

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)

The speaker is assuming II; that is why he is not happy with the quality of performance of ministers.

Hence II is implicit. I is an extreme case. It is possible that most of the ministers are inefficient but not all.

Hence I is not implicit.

Question : 19

II. The sales of desktop manufactured by the company may increase substantially in the near future.

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.

Thus leading to profit.

Question : 20

Statement:
“The monsoon is here. So are the mosquitoes Beware of total diseases! So do not leave in open on the roof of the house, unused/broken articles like bottle, cups, tyres etc.”
— A notice issued in public interest by Directorate of Health Services [DHS]
Assumptions:
I. Mosquito spreads fatal diseases and steps to control mosquito breeding can prevent the spread of the diseases.
II. Unused/broken articles are capable of holding rainwater.

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)

Why did the DHS need to issue the notice? How can these initiatives save people from the fatal diseases? Obviously I is the assumption behind it. Again, how can unused/broken articles lying on the roof can be mosquito-friendly? Obviously, II is the assumption behind it.
