Question : 16

Statement:
Starting from fly over on Moti lal city road, traffic will be heavy..
Assumptions:
I. On Moti lal city road, there is a great rush of traffic
II. There is a fly over on Moti lal city road.

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)

It is clear from the statement that there is a rush of vehicles on Moti lal city road, also there is fly over. So assumption I and II are implicit.

Question : 17

Statement:
“The fundamental requirement is a government that seeks a consensus and cooperation. It is when governments behave arbitrarily and try to impose their will without discussion and when they consider dissent as anti-national and approach the house with closed mind that disruption arises.”
— Leader of the opposition
Assumptions:
I. If the Government takes a decision keeping the view of opposition in mind, there might not be any act of disruption.
II. Views of opposition is a matter of great concern.

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)

Assuming II only, the leader of the opposition has made such statement. I is also implicit because the root cause of disruption in the house is lack of consensus.

Question : 18

Statement:
‘You are expected to be frank and objective while writing your self appraisal report’. -An instruction for writing self-appraisal report
Assumptions:
I. Unless cautioned, people may tend to be a little shy and less objective while writing their selfappraisal report.
II. Every self-appraisal report helps the person in his further development.

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 caution “to be frank and objective”. II is not implicit. The statement does not hint towards the motive of the report.

Question : 19

Statement:
“If you see any street lights on during the day, or notice pilferage of electricity, do inform us.”
— A notice by NDPL to common people
Assumptions:
I. Watching TV together and using one fan/cooler/AC will help conserve electricity.
II. Power generation is limited; joint efforts to conserve power would help maintain reliable supply of electricity.

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)

Assumption I may not be implicit. It is beyond the scope of the statement due to lack of any specific clue. But assumption II seems quite plausible. That is why people’s participation has been sought.

Question : 20

Statement:
There must be some addictive substance in Gutkha. Whenever I don’t chew it for more than two hours, I feel uneasy.
Assumptions:
I. Feeling uneasy is a sign of addiction.
II. Gutkha should be taken once every two hours.

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)

Feeling uneasy is not a sign of addiction in itself. Feeling uneasy after avoiding Gutkha is a sign of addiction. [Read I carefully. If you have the book Magical Book: Analytical Reasoning, refer to page it immediately.]

Secondly, a thing that is suspected to be addictive can never be advised to be taken every two hours! Both I and II are not implicit.
