Based On Three Assumptions MCQs Section 2 Practice Questions Answers Test with Solutions & More Shortcuts

DIRECTIONS:

In each question be low is given a statement followed by three assumptions numbered I, II and III. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. Then decide which of the answers (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) is the correct answer.

Question : 46

Statement:
“A rare opportunity to be a professional while you are at home.”
— An advertisement for computer-literate housewives by a computer company
Assumptions:
I. Some housewives simultaneously desire to become professional.
II. Computer industry is growing at a fast pace.
III. It is possible to be a professional as well as a housewife.

a) Only I and II

b) Only II and III

c) Only I and III

d) Only II

e) None of these

Answer: (c)

Assuming I, the company has advertised for housewives. If it were not possible, the company would not go for such an ad.

Hence III is implicit.

Question : 47

Statement:
“Though party A is firm on the ouster of party B, it is unlikely to reap any benefit from it.”
— a political observer
Assumptions:
I. Party A expects to benefit from the ouster of party B.
II. Politics is a game of manoeuvring and manipulations.
III. The political scenario is peaceful.

a) Only I

b) Only II

c) Only III

d) All the three

e) None of these

Answer: (a)

A statement of the form though X, Y is unlikely is based on the assumption that X leads to Y.

Question : 48

Statement:
“Let us enter into a deal with company Y to come out of our financial crisis.”
— Company X
Assumptions:
I. Company Y can bail company X out of its financial crisis.
II. Two companies can enter into a deal.
III. Company Y is financially sound.

a) Only II and III

b) Only II

c) Only I and III

d) Only III

e) None of these

Answer: (e)

All the three are implicit. Since company X talks of entering into a deal, it must be assumed that two companies can enter into a deal. So II is implicit. Again, I is implicit because how can company Y help company X unless it is capable to do so? Besides, this capability must be based on being financially sound. So III is implicit.

Question : 49

Statement:
“Today I am rejecting your proposal to play a cricket match against your team because of absence of Mr Z but tomorrow I am ready to play against your team at any cost.”
— Mr X says to Mr Y
Assumptions:
I. Mr Z will be available tomorrow.
II. Match will be played tomorrow irrespective of availability of Mr. Z.
III. Mr Y will be ready to play a match against Mr X tomorrow.

a) All I, II and III

b) Either I or II and III

c) Only II and III

d) Only I and III

e) None of these

Answer: (c)

Since Mr X is determined to play against Mr Y’s team the next day, he must be assuming III. II is implicit because of the words “at any cost”.

Question : 50

Statement:
The ‘X’ car manufacturing company has decided to increase price of the cars in A, B and C segments ranging from 5% to 10% with immediate effect as the steel prices have risen considerably in the recent past.
Assumptions:
I. The prices of cars other than in A, B and C segments are already very high and need not be increased.
II. The rival car manufacturing companies may also increase the prices of cars in these segments.
III. There may be adequate demand in the market of the cars in these segments even after the price hike.

a) Only I is implicit

b) Only II is implicit

c) Only III is implicit

d) Both I and III are implicit

e) All are implicit

Answer: (c)

I need not be implicit because we don’t know about the company’s policy regarding other segments. Again, if a manufacturer increases the price of products, the manufacturer assumes that there may still be adequate demand in the market of its products.

Hence, III is implicit.

Thus reject the options 1), 2), 4) and 5). Note that II may or may not be an assumption.
