Question : 31

Statement:
The civic authority has advised the residents in the area to use mosquito repellents or sleep inside nets as large number of people are suffering from malaria.
Assumptions:
I. Local residents have enough money to arrange for the repellents or nets.
II. People may ignore and continue to get mosquito bites as they have other pressing needs.

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)

The civic authority has advised residents to keep away from mosquitoes to avert the risk of malaria. Such an advice would surely be adhered to by the people.

So, II is not implicit. Besides, it has been advised to use mosquito repellents or nets. This means that people can afford to buy the same.

So, I is implicit

Question : 32

Statement:
“Do not indulge in unfair practices or else you will be sacked from the college.”
— Warning to the students from the principal of a college.
Assumptions:
I. Some of the students were found using unfair practices.
II. The principal’s warning may deter the students from using unfair practices.

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)

Why did the principal of the college warn the students? The principal must be assuming that the warning may bring the situation under control. And how can the situation be under control without II?

Hence, II must be assumed. Again, what compelled the principal to go for such a warning. It is I.

Hence, I is also implicit.

Question : 33

a) if only assumption I is implicit.

b) if only assumption II is implicit.

d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

Question : 35

Statement:
India suffers a huge loss of power annually. Technically described as transmission and distribution losses, this is a euphemism for largescale theft.
Assumptions:
I. India has an adequate power generation capacity.
II. Large-scale transmission and distribution losses are not possible.

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)

If there is a huge loss of power, it is being assumed that a lot of power is being generated. But one can’t assume whether the generation or its capacity is adequate.

Hence I is not implicit. II is assumed from the element of suspicion present in the statement.
