Question : 1

— Senior representative of Company ‘Y’.
Assumptions:
I. An agreement is said to be reached only when both the parties divulge details of the relevant issues.
II. Government makes people fool by false representation.

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. In fact, the statement assumes that it’s no use saying that an agreement has been reached as long as the details are not divulged. II is distorting the statement too much.

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 demand for qualification and experience. II is also implicit. Unless the institute were choosy, it would have welcomed one and all, without imposing any restrictions.

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.

Question : 4

Statement:
“Before you hire a domestic help, get his/ her background verified through us. Your family’s safety depends on this simple step.”
— City police
Assumptions:
I. Police verification of domestic help is an effective step in crime prevention.
II. Verification of people’s domestic help’s antecedents is a simple process.

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 request made by the city police to common people implies that the city police assumes that the verification of domestic help is necessary to put a tab on increasing rate of crime.

Hence, I is implicit. Assumption II is also implicit. If it is a “simple step”, the process involved must be simple.

Question : 5

The management of XYZ Pvt. Ltd. Asked the workers’ union to call off the strike immediately otherwise the management would be forced to close down the factory

I. No alternative other than closing down the factory is left for the management of XYZ Pvt. Ltd

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: (b)

Such a warning is usually given to the workers to threaten them that they would lose their job and income forever if they didn’t mend their ways.

So, only II is implicit
