Question : 6

Statement:
Thick milk does not mean high-quality milk
— Issued in public interest by a reputed milk company.
Assumptions:
I. There is misconception among the people that thick milk is good.
II. Some companies are producing adulterated thick milk.

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; it is to dispel this myth that the statement has been issued in public interest. but being inferior in quality is not the same as being adulterated;

Hence II is not implicit.

Question : 7

Statement:
After destroying the Kshatriya kings, Parasuram asked the gods a way of penance.
Assumptions:
I. Parasuram deemed the act of destroying the kings to be a sin.
II. There is a way out even after having committed such ghastly acts.

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 in the word penance — an act to wash away one’s sins.

II is not implicit. From the statement, we don’t know whether the gods showed Parasuram the way out.

Question : 8

Statement:
I will not resign until proved guilty. - A politician in his speech
Assumptions:
I. There are demands for his resignation.
II. There are some charges levelled against the politician.

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)

If there were no demands for resignation, why would the politician say, “I will not resign”?

Hence I is implicit. Again, he talks of being proved guilty. A proof of guilt comes only after the levelling of charges.

Hence II is implicit.

Question : 9

Statement:
If you could not collect the required amount by oral call you must publish an advertisement in a widely read newspaper.
Assumptions:
I. People rarely respond to oral call.
II. Generally people are reluctant to read an advertisement in a newspaper.

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 tone of the statement only implies that the speaker assumes that newspapers are more effective than oral call. The given assumption I is not implicit because of the word ‘rarely’. II is also not implicit because it contradicts the valid assumption. Note that here the valid assumption is “people will read an advertisement in a newspaper”.

Question : 10

Statement:
“If you are facing distress-like situations, say physical assault, molestation, eve-teasing, harassment or any such situation but are reluctant to report to the Police Station, call 3317004 and get prompt assistance from specially trained Women Police Officers. You will be ensured of confidentiality.” Director-General of police of state ‘X’.
Assumptions:
I. In some cases, despite facing distress-like situations women do not file a complaint against the bad guys due to some social compulsions.
II. Victims of physical assaults etc are more likely to express their trauma to specially trained Women Police Officers than to male police officers.

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 an assurance of ensuring confidentiality along with an easy access to register a complaint? The speaker must be assuming I. Again, why specially trained Women Police Officers? The speaker must be assuming II also.
