Question : 37

Statement:
Buy ‘X’ dairy milk - fresh, pure and hygienic. - An advertisement
Assumptions:
I. Other brands of milk are also available.
II. ‘X’ dairy’s milk is the most expensive.

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.

I is implicit because advertisement of a particular brand is usually placed in order to compete with other available brands. II is not implicit because price and quality are not inextricably related.

Question : 38

Statement:
“Our study materials do not necessarily satisfy one’s greed but certainly satisfy one’s need to become a Probationary Officer (PO).”
— An advertisement of ‘X’ coaching Institute
Assumptions:
I. Need to become a PO can be satisfied with certain amount of efforts but one’s greed can not be satisfied with certainty.
II. Desires of most of the people (who aspire for PO) are not conducive to their real requirements.

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 advocates to satisfy one’s need. II is also implicit because if study materials of ‘X’ coaching institute are capable of satisfying one’s need for PO, it must be capable of satisfying the real requirements of a true aspirant for PO.

Hence, the speaker must be assuming II.

Question : 39

Statement:
“The economic fortunes of the USA would determine the health of the Indian economy.”
— FICCI president
Assumptions:
I. Indian economy has no independent existence of its own.
II. The US economy influences the world economy.

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)

Influence of one economy on the other does not imply that the latter has no independent existence.

Hence I is not implicit. Just because the US economy influences the Indian economy, one can’t conclude that II is being implied. The influence can be felt even if India’s bilateral trade with the US is of a large volume.

Question : 40

Statement:
The government has decided to pay compensation to the tune of Rs. 1 lakh to the family members of those who are killed in railway accidents.

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)

Clearly, the amount of compensation must have been decided keeping in mind the monetary position of the Government.

So, I is implicit. However, nothing can be said about the frequency of railway accidents in future.

So, II is not implicit
