Question : 26

Statement:
I can’t make it in the UPSC exam. I am just not hardworking.
Assumptions:
I. Hard work is necessary to succeed in UPSC exam.
II. UPSC exam is tough.

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 author says that he won’t succeed in UPSC exam. Reason? Because he is not hardworking. Obviously, hard work is essential for success at UPSC exam. Further, if hard work is a necessary prerequisite of any exam, the exam can’t be easy. Both I and II are implicit.

Question : 27

Statement:
A chariot is made of wheels, horses etc. But none of these parts is the chariot itself.
Assumptions:
I. A chariot is an incomplete construction.
II. Parts can never substitute the whole.

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)

The crux of the statement is that although the wheels, horses etc. make up the chariot, they are not the chariot. In other words, parts can never substitute for the whole. So II is implicit. I is not hinted at in the statement.

Question : 28

c) if either I or II is implicit.

d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

I may or may not be a true assumption.

Hence I is not implicit. II is obviously implicit; otherwise there would not have been the advertisement.

Question : 30

Statement:
“Unrestricted, free and fair competition is the only process to bring out the most competent and committed of the aspirants to political leadership.”
— A note in a newspaper Assumption:I. Political leadership is facing character crisis everywhere.
II. Existing condition of the country is conducive to unrestricted, free and fair competition so that the most competent and committed candidate can be found out.

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)

Suggestion made in the note is aimed at adopting a way that brings out committed aspirants for political leadership. This implies political leadership is facing a crisis of true leadership. But can we assume that it is so everywhere? No.

Hence, I is not implicit. If one suggests something to someone, he assumes his/her suggestion is practically possible.

Hence, II is implicit.
