Based On Two Assumptions MCQs Section 6 Practice Questions Answers Test with Solutions & More Shortcuts

DIRECTIONS:

In each question be low is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

Give your answer as;

  1. if only assumption I is implicit.
  2. if only assumption II is implicit.
  3. if either I or II is implicit.

Question : 11

Statement:
Our soul accepts new material bodies giving up the old and useless ones, just as a person puts on new garments.
Assumptions:
I. The soul is like a clothes-hanger.
II. The soul is immortal.

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)

The soul accepts new bodies just as a person accepts new clothes - this being equated to the soul being a clothshanger is very crude philosophy. I should be rejected. Again, the immortality of the soul is not proved beyond doubt in the given statement. Unless a statement clearly said that the soul never ceases to accept new clothes this assumption would be suspect.

Question : 12

Statement:
‘Authorised Indian Edition
— illegal for sale or distribution outside India’
— A publisher’s note on the cover page of a book.
Assumptions:
I. Indian editions may be in demand in nearby countries.
II. It may be possible to sell or distribute this book outside India.

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)

Definitely because of assumption I and II the publisher has warned in the cover page of the book.

Question : 13

Statement:
Except emergency services like ambulance, fire brigade and the police, no vehicle should be given priority on the roads.
Assumptions:
I. There are some vehicles other than emergency services which are given priority on the roads.
II. People will not mind the disturbance in traffic caused by emergency services 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)

I is implicit;

Hence the distinction is being made. II is not implicit: giving priority to emergency services is a social necessity; one can’t bother for whether the people will mind or not.

Question : 14

Statement:
The school authority has decided to increase the number of students in each classroom to seventy from the next academic session to bridge the gap between income and expenditure to a large extent.
Assumptions:
I. The income generated by way of fees of the additional students will be sufficient enough to bridge the gap.
II. The school may get all the additional students in each class from the next academic session.

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 because according to the statement the move is supposed to bridge the gap between income and expenditure to a larger extent. II may or may not be an assumption because of the word ‘will’.

Question : 15

Statement:
“We should revise the wage structure in order to retain our good employees.”
— Comment of a member of the Management Committee of a company
Assumptions:
I. Wage structures of other companies involved in parallel activities are better.
II. Wage structure is one of the most important factors for the employees of the company.

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)

I may or may not be an assumption. Note that if the two companies X and Y are paying equal salaries to their employees and the growth prospects of employees is better in Y (in comparison of X) then many employees working for the company X may prefer to work for the company Y. But II is obvious.

Hence, only II is implicit.
