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 : 11

Statement:
The high court of state ‘X’ has directed the state government ‘X’ to issue a notification making speed governors compulsory for all four-wheelers in the city to check high-speed driving.
Assumptions:
I. Speed governors will put an end to accidents.
II. Speed governors will help in reducing the possibilities of road accidents.
III. High speed of vehicles on the road causes accidents.

a) Only I

b) Only I and II

c) Only II and III

d) Only I and III

e) None of these

Answer: (c)

I assumes too much.

But why is there a need of speed governors for all four-wheelers? The court must be assuming II and III.

Question : 12

Statement:
“Bar Council of India (BCI) has decided to go on a hunger strike to protest the implementation of the Legal Services Authority (Amendment) Act.”
— Chairman of BCI
Assumptions:
I. The amendment has several loopholes and is bound to hurt the litigants’ interests.
II. All the members of BCI will welcome the decision.
III. The hunger strike held in front of the court will put a pressure on the respective authority.

a) Only I

b) Only I and II

c) Only I and III

d) All I, II and III

e) None of these

Answer: (e)

I is not implicit: will it hurt the litigants’ interests or the lawyers’? II is not implicit because of the word all. III deviates by mentioning the venue.

Question : 13

Statement:
Mandatory verification of identity before acquiring a prepaid cellular connection is taking a toll on numbers.
— CEO of a cellular company
Assumptions:
I. Lesser subscribers have joined due to decrease in subscription rate.
II. Unnecessary delay as well as red-tapism discourages consumer’s appetite.
III. Holders of cellulars do not want to reveal their identity.

a) Only I and II

b) Only II and III

c) Only I and III

d) None

e) None of these

Answer: (e)

Either II or III is implicit. The number have decreased because of “mandatory verification of identity”. Why? Either it is the fear of consequent procedural delay or people fight shy of revealing their identity. Assumption I is unrelated to the statement.

Question : 14

Statement:
“We must select educators and not academics. They should have the ability to teach in the canteen or even at bus stop!”
— Mr X
Assumptions:
I. Teaching is an art. It asks for a thorough knowledge of the subject as well as the ability to put across that knowledge to others.
II. The skills required in transmitting knowledge are, at times, quite different from a person’s receiving skills.
III. It is not necessarily true that a good student will also be a good teacher.

a) Only I

b) Only I and III

c) Only II and III

d) All

e) None of these

Answer: (c)

I is not implicit because it mentions the words ‘thorough knowledge’.

Hence I can’t be correlated with the statement. II and III are implicit; that is why the speaker distinguishes an educator from an academic.

Question : 15

Statement:
“Our school provides all facilities like school bus service, computer training, sports facilities. it also gives opportunity to participate in various extra-curricular activities apart from studies.” - An advertisement by a public school.
Assumptions:
I. Nowadays extra-curricular activities assume more importance than studies.
II. Many parents would like to send their children to the school as it provides all the facilities.
III. Overall care of the child has become the need of the time as many women are working.

a) Only I is implicit

b) Only II is implicit

c) Only I and II are implicit

d) All I, II and III are implicit

e) None of these

Answer: (b)

What is the real objective of the advertisement? The objective must be to enrol more school children through attracting a large number of parents. And in order to obtain this objective, the advertisement has been adorned with many features with an assumption that the features may attract parents because parents want maximum facilities.

Hence, II is implicit.

But I is not implicit because I may or may not be an assumption. III can’t be correlated with the statement;

Hence III is not implicit.
