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 are some excesses bound to happen? The speaker must be assuming II. Again, to be satisfied with the success of SOG implies that the speaker must be assuming I also.

Question : 7

Statement:
The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) of a school has informed the Principal that they will not send their children to the school unless the school authority reduces the fees with immediate effect.
Assumptions:
I. Majority of the parents may agree with the PTA and may not send their wards to the school.
II. The school authority may accede to the demand of the PTA and reduce the fees.

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 did PTA take such a harsh decision? They must be assuming that its decision may compel the principal to reconsider the school fees.

Hence, assumption II is implicit. Again, how can the decision usher such result? Obviously, PTA must be assuming that parents of the students will cooperate.

Hence, assumption I is also implicit.

Question : 8

Statement:
The world gold production has continued to grow irrespective of the price hike.
Assumptions:
I. Quantity of gold produced doesn’t affect its price in the market.

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.

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.

I is implicit. If X seems to have happened, it is usually assumed that X happens. Again, II is also implicit: since the speaker compares Sahara and Peerless to other NBFCs, he assumes that these two are also NBFCs.

Question : 10
