  5. if both I and II are implicit.

Question : 1

Statement:
“Invest in the pension plans of LIC and ensure lifelong security and best returns.”
— An advertisement.
Assumptions:
I. People will respond to this ad.
II. People want lifelong security.

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)

Because of II LIC has advertised so. If I were not the assumption, they would never advertise.

Question : 2

Statement:
“If you are selling your car/vehicle, retain copies of identification documents with photographs of buyer, such as driving licence, ration card, election ID card etc. A simple way to fight terror.”
— A notice issued in public interest by city police X
Assumptions:
I. The vehicle people want to sell could be misused by terrorists.
II. Each and every individual wants to buy old cars/ vehicles.

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)

Why retain a photograph document? So that it comes handy in fighting terror. In other words, who knows the buyer may be a terrorist or may serve as a means of terrorism.

Hence I is implicit. II is beside the statement.

Question : 3

Statement:
Wars must be discouraged vehemently even though majority of the victims might have been a nuisance to peace loving people.
Assumptions:
I. Innocent people are also killed in wars.
II. Vehement opposition to wars may have some desirable impact.

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 word ‘vehemently’ used in the statement implies that the speaker must be assuming II. Why is the speaker in favour of discouraging wars vehemently even though majority of the victims might have been a nuisance to peace-loving people? The speaker must be assuming that war is disastrous for peace-loving people also.

Hence, I is implicit also.

c) if either I or II is implicit.

d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

Compensation is a way of sympathising with the victims, not a different to terrorism. Hence II is implicit but I is not
