Based On Two Assumptions MCQs Section 14 Practice Questions Answers Test with Solutions & More Shortcuts

DIRECTIONS:

In each question be low is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

Give your answer as;

  1. if only assumption I is implicit.
  2. if only assumption II is implicit.
  3. if either I or II is implicit.
  4. if neither I nor II is implicit.
  5. if both I and II are implicit.

Question : 1

Statement:
“Government employees, including doctors working in state-run hospitals and dispensaries, have no right [fundamental, legal, moral or equitable] to go on strike.”
— Supreme Court
Assumptions:
I. Government employees hold society to ransom by going on strike.
II. Strike as a weapon is mostly misused, which results in chaos and total maladministration.

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: (d)

The decision of the SC implies that the SC must be assuming the strike by the employee to be detrimental for the society and at the same time it must be dissatisfied with the way of strike. But the word ‘ransom’ can’t be correlated with the statement.

Hence, I is not implicit. The same is true for the words ‘chaos’ and ‘total maladministration’.

Question : 2

Statement:
If you want to increase your writing speed, use 0.7 pen.
Assumptions:
I. There are different types of pen available.
II. The person being told understands what is 0.7 pen.

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)

Obviously, 0.7 is one of the types.

Hence I is implicit. II is also implicit or else the statement would make no sense.

Question : 3

Statement:
Store eatables in the deep freeze in order to preserve these for a long time.
Assumptions:
I. Food material remains eatable even after deep freezing for a long time.
II. It is not possible to store any eatable at room temperature even for a shorter period of time.

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 only then does the storage make sense. II is not implicit as the statement has nothing to do with “a shorter period of time.”

Question : 4

Statement:
Teachers should strive to acquire learning competence, develop commitment to objectives and improve performance.
Assumptions:
I. Nowadays, teachers are money-minded and have strayed away from their main objective.
II. The future of a country depends a lot on teachers.

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. That is why the speaker is desirous of showing the teachers the correct path.

II is not implicit: teachers should be ideal but there is no clue why.

Question : 5

Statement:
Although our literacy rate is increasing, our basic beliefs have not undergone any significant change. We do not think logically on certain matters.
Assumptions:
I. Thinking of an individual depends on his literacy.
II. Literate persons can think better than illiterate persons.

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 comparison of literacy with logical thinking hints about I. But comparison of literate and illiterate can’t be assumed from the statement.
