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.

Question : 1

Statement:
“‘X’ steel company has approached the problem of rebar corrosion holistically by developing continuously cast, thermo-mechanically-treated (TMT) low-carbon, high-strength and high-ductility weldable rebars with superior corrosion resistance for concrete structure work.”
— MD of ‘X’ Steel Company.
Assumptions:
I. Corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete is a complex phenomenon.
II. A marriage between high-quality steel bar and high-performance concrete is desirable to ensure longterm durability of reinforced concrete in construction work.

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)

Both I and II are implicit. Efforts made by the company is aimed at the problem related with corrosion.

Hence the MD must be assuming I. II is also implicit on the same ground.

Question : 2

Statement:
World Health Organisation has decided to double its assistance to various health programmes in India as per capita expenditure on health in India is very low compared to many other countries.
Assumptions:
I. The enhanced assistance may substantially increase the per capita expenditure on health in India and bring it on par with other countries.
II. The Government funding is less than adequate to provide basic medical facilities in India.

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 real concern of WHO is the low per capita expenditure on health in India. Now, how will the initiative taken by WHO minimise the concern? The assumption is that the enhanced assistance may substantially increase the per capita expenditure on health in India. But, assumption I is not implicit due to the last part of it, ie ‘and bring it on par with other countries.’ Again, no one provides help to others unless one assumes that the other needs it.

Hence, assumption II is implicit.

Question : 3

Statement:
As a measure to avoid occurrence of the epidemics due to monsoon the civic authorities have organised free vaccination camps all over the city.
Assumptions:
I. There may be a good response to the camps organized by civic authorities.
II. People are generally aware about the need for vaccination.

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)

How can the objective of the civic authorities be meaningful without the people's participation?

Hence, I must be assumed. Again, how can the people's participation be possible without II?

Hence, II must be assumed.

Question : 4

Statement:
“How is it that only the northern part of the country is involved in the Ram temple movement when the whole nation has Ram devotees? If we want to rise above these petty political machinations there is an urgent need for a new breed of Indians with a mindset attuned to the present scenario and instilled with values generated by centuries of true Indian civilisation.”
— Mr Y
Assumptions:
I. India comprises different types of mindsets.
II. True Indian civilisation among the citizens is desirable to inculcate the citizens with a lesson of harmony.

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)

Confinement of Ram temple movement in the northern part of India indicates that the speaker must be assuming I. II is not implicit. Mr Y does assume the desirability of true Indian civilisation. But is it for “harmony”? We don’t.
