Question : 1

Statement:
“Sanjay Leela Bhansali (a film director) should be lauded and not criticised for the huge budget of Devdas (a film).”
— A comment by Mr X
Assumptions:
I. A person is not worthy of criticism only because of violation of limit of a single factor.
II. Unless a person pumps in money, he/she cannot be the best in a field like cinema

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)

I is not implicit because we don’t know what X assumes about other factors. II is not implicit either. We don’t know why X assumes him to be lauded.

Question : 2

Statement:
Some people think that they can achieve anything with practice. They forget that there is a thing called “born genius”.
Assumptions:
I. Practice is not necessary for success.
II. A born genius is always successful.

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)

I is not true for everybody. The statement means to say that practice may not be sufficient for success if one is pitted against a born genius. In other words, it means that practice is necessary but it may not be sufficient. II is not implied beyond doubt. It is supported by the statement only in a vague fashion.

Question : 3

Statement:
The government should reject the demand for a separate state for tribals in state A.
Assumptions:
I. The government has the power to grant a separate state.
II. Tribals are generally very cruel.

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 the power to reject something is usually possible only when one has the power to grant it. II has no connection whatsoever with the statement.

Question : 4

Statement:
The emergence of acute competition because of fresh entry of companies benefits the consumer.
Assumptions:
I. The monopoly of a company in a specific sector is not good for consumers.

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.
