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 : 51

Statement:
Non-Brahmin well-versed with rituals, could be appointed as a pujari as well.
— Ruling of Supreme Court.
Assumptions:
I. Brahmins don’t have a monopoly over performing puja in a temple.
II. Mere eligibility for a post is enough to lay claim to the candidatureship for the post.
III. People will comply with the verdict given by SC.

a) All I, II and III

b) Only I and II

c) Only II and III

d) Only I and III

e) None of these

Answer: (a)

I is implicit; that is why ruling goes like this. Declaring non-Brahmin, having desired qualities, also eligible for pujari implies that II must be an assumption. No court delivers its verdict unless it assumes that people will abide by it.

Question : 52

Statement:
“Addictive ‘gutka’ and ‘paan masala’ with or without tobacco has been banned from Aug 1, 2002 in Maharashtra, where even school and college students were increasingly becoming their consumers.”
— A court notice
Assumptions:
I. Some of the ‘gutka’ manufacturers may not abide by the court’s directions.
II. School children and college students are vulnerable to gutka.
III. Consumers as well as manufacturers of ‘gutka’ will abide by the court’s directions.

a) Only II

b) Either I or III and II

c) Either I or III only

d) Only II and III

e) None of these

Answer: (d)

I is not implicit. A direction is given assuming that the person, for whom the direction is meant, will follow it.

Hence III is implicit. While stating the intensity of the problem, school children and college students are mentioned.

Hence, the speaker must be assuming II.

Question : 53

Statement:
Hurdles in restoring security in travelling through train will be removed by the railway ministry and travelling by train will once again be perceived as safe.
Assumptions:
I. The railway ministry has created hurdles in travellers’ security.
II. Today travelling by train is not considered safe.
III. It is possible to make train journey safe.

a) Only I and II

b) Only II and III

c) Only I and III

d) All I, II and III

e) None of these

Answer: (b)

If someone takes an initiative to remove the hurdles, it is not implied that he/she is the one who has created it.

Hence, I is not implicit. II is implicit because it is the problem for which initiatives are being taken. III is also implicit because one does not undertake an effort unless he/she assumes the difficulty can be overcome.

Question : 54

Statement:
“If we really want to reduce the menace of smoking, we need to reflect our intention through our deeds, our creations such as movies, in which incidence of smoking is shown much higher than the actual cigarette consumption among the Indian population.”
— View of Mr X.
Assumptions:
I. There is a strong link between films and viewers’ behaviour.
II. Smoking shown in movies results in corresponding increase in smoking among the public.
III. Menace of smoking can be reduced by proper planning followed by appropriate efforts.

a) Only I

b) Only II

c) Only II and III

d) Only I and III

e) All I, II and III

Answer: (e)

How can the menace of smoking be reduced if we restrict or reduce the showing of smoking in movies? Obviously, the speaker must be assuming assumptions I and II. Assumptions III is also implicit. That is why the speaker stresses on those deeds and creations which are conducive to reducing the menace of smoking.
