Question : 43

Statement:
Indians are no longer aghast when they come across stories of corruption.
Assumptions:
I. Earlier, corruption came to Indians as a shock.
II. Corruption is not a new phenomenon.

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 a thing is no longer so, we assume that earlier it was so.

Hence I is implicit. Again, if corruption came as a shock earlier, we further assume that corruption was there.

Hence II is implicit.

Question : 44

Statement:
“Soft drinks’ penetration in rural areas is only 10 per cent. If we have to hook the rural folk we need to give them single-serve soft drink packs at low price points.”
— CEO of ‘X’ Company
Assumptions:
I. Purchasing power of the people living in rural areas is low and it will make the people unable to purchase the beverage of company ‘X’ even at low price points.
II. Low margin-high volumes is a way of successful business.

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)

Low price points have been accepted as instruments for penetration in rural areas.

Hence II must have been assumed. I is obviously not implicit. Because if a company decides to penetrate in rural areas by providing the drinks at low price points then the company must be assuming that people in rural areas will be able to purchase the cold drinks at reduced price.

Question : 45

Statement:
A society is in danger when those who have never learned to obey have been given the right to command.
Assumptions:
I. A good commander should be disciplined.
II. The speaker has witnessed the vices of the society being controlled by undisciplined leaders.

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 speaker is assuming that there should be certain qualities in the commander to command the society well. I is a genuine quality.

Hence I is implicit. It is possible that the speaker is predicting on the basis of his knowledge and not experience.

Hence II is not implicit.
