Based On Two Assumptions MCQs Section 4 Practice Questions Answers Test with Solutions & More Shortcuts

DIRECTIONS:

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.

Give your answer as;

  1. if only assumption I is implicit.
  2. if only assumption II is implicit.
  3. if either I or II is implicit.
  4. if neither I nor II is implicit.
  5. if both I and II are implicit.

Question : 21

Statement:
“I always listened to my inner voice. And that is why I was saved from sin on many occasions.”
— Gandhi in his autobiography
Assumptions:
I. Our inner voice asks us not to sin.
II. Gandhi never committed a sin.

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)

If listening to the inner voice can save one from sin, assumption I must be valid. Assumption II is uncertain. The statement merely says that Gandhi was saved from sinning on many (not every) occasions. So chances of a few transgressions can’t be ruled out merely on the basis of the given statement.

Question : 22

Statement:
Provide mid-day meals to the children in primary schools to increase the number of students attending schools.
Assumptions:
I. Mid-day meals will attract the children to the schools.
II. Those children who are otherwise deprived of good food will attend the schools.

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)

The scheme will attract the children, particularly those who have no good food available at home. So both assumptions are implicit.

Question : 23

Statement:
“Buy durable pillows of company ‘X’. The pillows have been made from 100% imported downs and feather; have the natural property to take the contour and shape of your head, neck and shoulder while you sleep; and are very popular abroad as well as in the domestic market.”
— An advertisement
Assumptions:
I. Immense popularity of a product is a sign of the good quality of a product and its usefulness.
II. People desire for blissful sleep that keeps them ticking for the rest of the day.

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)

I is implicit; that is why the advertisement emphasises the popularity of product abroad as well as in domestic market. The natural property focussed on in the ad is conducive to facilitating sound sleep.

Hence, II is also implicit.

Question : 24

Statement:
Not even a collapsing world looks dark to a man who is about to make his fortune.
Assumptions:
I. Entrepreneurs are ready to face any challenge that comes their way.
II. The statement will only boost up the morale of the listener.

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 an implication, not an assumption. II is not implicit because we don’t know the context in which the statement is said.

Question : 25

Statement:
“Our bank provides all your banking requirements at one location.”
— An advertisement of a bank
Assumptions:
I. Customers prefer to carry out all banking transactions at one place.
II. People may get attracted by the advertisement and carry out their transactions with this bank.

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)

Generally, an advertisement is given to attract customers.

Hence, assumption II is implicit. The advertisement mentions some feature. Why will the mentioned feature attract customers?

Hence I must be assumed.
