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 : 16

Statement:
Move into the upper echelons without paying a steep price. Book a luxurious flat with us.
— Advt. of a construction company for its prestigious project
Assumptions:
I. It is possible to join the select band of rich people by hard work.
II. Staying in luxury without paying steep price is the criterion of upper crust of society.
III. Booking a luxurious flat is very easy now.

a) Only II

b) Only III

c) Only II and III

d) None

e) None of these

Answer: (d)

Nothing is hinted about “hard work” or “upper crust of society.

Hence neither I nor II is implicit. III is also not implicit: In general, it is not very “easy”; rather, one has to pay “a steep price”.

Question : 17

Statement:
“The Indian Meteorological Department has proposed to hold a brainstorming session of weather experts next month to try and study the causes for the failure of the just-concluded summer monsoon in the country.”
—Spokesperson of Indian Meteorological Department
Assumptions:
I. The behaviour of the just-concluded monsoon was intriguing.
II. Thorough scientific investigation is likely to reveal the causes of failure of the monsoon.
III. Brainstorming sessions organised in the past didn’t prove fruitful.

a) All I, II and III

b) None

c) Only II

d) Only I and II

e) None of these

Answer: (d)

What induced Indian Meteorological Department to propose a brainstorming session on the issue of just-concluded summer monsoon? It is the assumption I which made them do so. II is obvious; otherwise why is a brain storming session needed? We sometimes take an initiative on the basis of positive result obtained through a similar initiative in the past. A negative result of a similar brainstorming session can’t be an assumption for the proposed brainstorming session.

Hence, III is not implicit.

Question : 18

Statement:
For realising a 7% GDP growth rate, we would need our gross investments to increase to 28- 30 per cent. This is not a tall order.
Assumptions:
I. 7% GDP growth rate seems to be a far cry.
II. The more you invest, the better the GDP growth.
III. The GDP growth rate is the indicator of a nation’s development.

a) Only I

b) All the three

c) Only II

d) Only II and III

e) Only III

Answer: (c)

I is wide off the mark. In fact, it’s just the contrary of what the statement says. II is implicit: when a statement is of the form A should be done for B, we assume that A leads to B. III is not implicit.

Question : 19

Statement:
The university authority has decided to decentralise conduct of terminal examinations and give this responsibility to each college for its students to avoid delay in declaration of results.
Assumptions:
I. The colleges are equipped to carry out this responsibility.
II. There may not be uniformity in evaluation standard across the colleges.
III. The students may welcome this new development.

a) None is implicit

b) Only II and III are implicit

c) Only I and II are implicit

d) Only I and III are implicit

e) None of these

Answer: (d)

If an organisation or a person entrusts a responsibility to an organisation or a person, the former assumes that the latter will carry out the responsibility properly. And how can an organisation or a person carry the entrusted responsibility without having the required expertise? Obviously, I is implicit. Also, it is supposed that a university takes a decision with a constructive purpose which will have positive impact on the students’ future. Obviously, the university authority must be assuming III.

Hence, III is implicit. Again, II can’t be correlated with the statement.

Hence, II is not implicit.

Question : 20

Statement:
“You should be very careful so that the society does not adversely comment on the police leadership.”
— A statement made by a CBI officer to the newly recruited young officers
Assumptions:
I. The society always indulge in adverse comments
II. People’s trust in the police force is not up to the desired level.
III. Society has the efficiency to judge accurately about the police leadership.

a) Only I and II

b) Only II and III

c) Only I and III

d) None

e) None of these

Answer: (e)

Suggestion or direction to young officers by the officer is aimed at making the new recruits aware of their responsibilities. Assumptions I can’t be correlated with the above statement. II is an assumption: this is what leads to adverse comments. III is not implicit: chances are the judgment is inaccurate;

Hence the extra caution.
