Assumptions:
I. Mr X is the well-wisher of Mr Y.
II. Expression of sadness on one’s face is a sign of one’s financial crunch.

a) All

b) Only I

c) Only I and II

d) Only II and III

Question : 8

Statement:
All the single-screen theatre halls in the city have declared indefinite strike and have warned that they will not withdraw strike unless the government accepts their demand of reducing entertainment tax to 50% of the present level and also treat these halls at par with multi-screen halls on all the relevant matters.
Assumptions:
I. The employees of all the cinema halls may disagree with the management and may appeal to the government to declare the strike illegal.
II. The government may accept all the demands of the striking cinema halls to avoid any backlash from the public.
III. The general public may support the cause of the cinema hall owners and put pressure on the government to accept their demands.

a) None is implicit

b) Only I is implicit

c) Only III is implicit

d) Only II is implicit

e) All are implicit

Answer: (a)

The strike involves only two parties: the cinema halls and the government. The employees or the public have nothing to do with the strike.

Hence I and II are not implicit. II is not implicit because of the word all.

Question : 9

Statement:
“The return of country X as a full-fledged member of the Commonwealth is dependent on the ‘credibility’ of the election which will be in process next year.”
— Head of Commonwealth Observers’ Group (COG).

a) All I, II and II

b) None

c) Only I

d) Only II

e) None of these

Answer: (b)

That credibility can be gauged is all that we can assume. Whether it can be measured is beyond our scope.

Hence I is not implicit. II is not implicit because of ‘always’. Besides, both II and III attempt to equate the Commonwealth with the world community.

Question : 10

III. Majority of the foreign tourists need variety of services when they reach India.

a) Only I and II are implicit

b) Only II and III are implicit

c) Only III is implicit

d) All are implicit

e) None of these

Answer: (d)

Why did the government take such an initiative? It mut be assuming III.

Hence, III is implicit. Again, any measure is taken by a government with its efficacy in mind.

Hence, II is implicit. Again, how will the initiative taken by the government fulfil the objective?

Hence, the government must be assuming I.
