Statement:
“If you are a first-class graduate with good communication skills and also have work experience of at least two years in sales-related activities, you are welcome in our organization.”
—An employment advertisement.
Assumptions:
I. Many with good communication skills may not respond to the advertisement.

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)

If the response does not come, as Assumption I says, the ad won't make sense.

Hence I is not implicit. II is not implicit;

Hence the qualification "with good communication skills".

Question : 42

Statement:
The government has decided to disinvest large chunk of its equity in selected public sector undertakings for a better fiscal management..
Assumptions:
I. The amount generated out of the disinvestment process may reduce substantially the mounting fiscal deficits.
II. There will be enough demand in the market for the shares of these undertakings.

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)

  1. VALID: Desired outcome. The government would have decided to disinvest the equity with a desire of generating enough amount which would manage the fiscal deficit
  2. VALID: Root Cause. The government would have decided to make the shares available in the market with an assumption that there would be enough demand for them 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.

Answer: (e)

If ‘A’ advises ‘B’ to do something, then the former assumes that the latter has the required expertise to do it.

Hence, I is implicit. Again, why did the management need to advise regarding use of computers? It is obvious that the management must be assuming it to be necessary.

Hence, II is also implicit.
