Question : 41

Statement:
“Although no war was witnessed during the tenure of prime ministership of Mr X, a large number of top bravery medals were conferred upon many cops in the name of curbing terrorism and eliminating terrorists of different organisations belonging to our own states.”
— View of a citizen
Assumptions:
I. It is disgraceful of cops to name the act of killing of terrorists of our own country as an act of bravery.
II. A war is less harmful for a country than menace of terrorism.

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 valid because we don’t know whether the contrast expressed in the view is critical or merely a statement of fact. II, if at all an assumption, can only be false.

Question : 42

Statement:
“Develop a strategic plan for Internet adoption. Do not treat the Internet any differently than you would treat any other crucial business decision.”
— A Manager, IBM India
Assumptions:
I. All crucial businesses need a strategic plan to succeed.
II. Internet is the need of the hour.

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 is not implicit. We don’t know about success of businesses in general. II is implicit;

Hence the appeal for Internet adoption.

Question : 43

Statement:
“The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has indicated that it would soon be commissioning 15 more transmitters for ‘Gyan Vani’, a radio channel on education, to include Delhi, Visakhapatnam, Lucknow, Bhopal, Mysore, Raipur, Ahemadabad, Rajkot, Guwahati and Varanasi.”
— Director of IGNOU.
Assumptions:
I. People of these area need educational information.
II. IGNOU’s existing infrastructure is capable of making these facilities available.

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)

Whenever a plan is aimed at for a particular locality, the planner assumes that the locality needs that plan.

Hence I is implicit. II is also implicit. If an institution makes a plan to provide facilities to the people, clearly those facilities are missing and are required.

Question : 44

Statement:
“Safety will be the primary concern. I hope that these enhanced outlays will go a long way in ensuring a safe and sound journey for the millions of passengers.”
— Railway Minister in her speech.
Assumptions:
I. Railways has failed to ensure adequate safety measures for its passengers.
II. Safety measures are likely to prevent railway mishaps in future.

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 railway minister is assuming that previous ministers have failed in providing adequate safety to the passengers. That is why she will give more attention to safety, hoping that her step will prevent accident in future.

Hence both the assumptions are implicit.

Question : 45

II. The concept of a “Dialogue Among Civilisations” has assumed greater importance with the emergence of the global scenario.

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)

Nothing has been mentioned about other countries.

Hence, I is not implicit. But assumption II is implicit. That is why the ministry focusses on intercultural dialogue and interaction with civilisations, countries and nations.
