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 : 31

Statement:
“Buy a variety of items from our shop and get upto 20% discount.” - An advertisement
Assumptions:
I. Many people will visit the shop to get the benefit of discount.
II. Customers may go to some other shop if the discount is not offered.
III. Offering discount is the best way to attract customers.

a) Only I is implicit

b) Only II is implicit

c) Only III is implicit

d) Only I and II are implicit

e) None of these

Answer: (d)

Let us delve into the objective of the advertisement. The main objective of the advertisement must be to attract more customers. How can the objective get fulfilled? It must be assumed that the feature mentioned in the advertisement may attract customers.

Hence, I and II are implicit. III is not implicit because of the word ‘best’.

Question : 32

Statement:
“A court can convict an accused solely on the basis of a dying declaration but such a declaration should be free from any doubt and the victim making the statement should be mentally fit.”
— Supreme Court
Assumptions:
I. One who is not mentally fit always makes statements untrustworthy in nature.
II. Declaration made by the dying person is likely to be true.
III. It is possible to distinguish whether a declaration is dubious or not.

a) Only I

b) Only I and II

c) Only II and III

d) Only III

e) None of these

Answer: (c)

I is not implicit because of the word ‘always’. The importance of ‘dying expression’ for conviction implies that the Supreme Court must be assuming II. How can a person judge the veracity of a statement without having the capacity to distinguish whether the statement is doubtfree or doubtful.

Hence, III is also implicit.

Question : 33

Statement:
“We have the distinction of being the only company in India as well as the second in the world to have won an ISO 9002 quality certification in our line of business”- Statement of company X’s Chairman.
Assumptions:
I. There were not many companies in the line of business of Company ‘X’.
II. Getting ISO 9002 in the line of business of Company ‘X’ is not easy.
III. The company ‘X’ desires to expand its business.

a) Only I

b) Only II

c) Only III

d) Only II and III

e) None of these

Answer: (d)

Since it is hard to get ISO 9002 certification, he is trying to highlight company’s achievement and by doing that expansion of his business is in his mind.

Question : 34

Statement:
“Some lessons from Israel, especially in the field of curbing terrorism, would be relevant to us.”
— Defence Minister of India.
Assumptions:
I. Israel has a good strategy and a better facility to counter terrorism.
II. Israel has a bitter experience of countering terrorism.
III. Israel and India have inherited a lot of commonness in terms of land, people and society.

a) Only I and II

b) Only I and III

c) Only II and III

d) Only II

e) None of these

Answer: (e)

People take lessons from those who have a better idea and experience to deal with the problems which people are facing.

Hence I and II are implicit. Again, comparison between the two countries implies that assumption III holds.

Question : 35

Statement:
The ‘licence raj’ might have been vanquished by the reforms but ‘inspector raj’ is thriving.
Assumptions:
I. The ‘licence raj’ is the same as the ‘inspector raj’.
II. The reforms should have put an end to the ‘licence raj’.
III. The ‘inspector raj’ is a menace.

a) None

b) All the three

c) Only I and III

d) Only II and III

e) Only III

Answer: (d)

I is false; if the two were the same, how could they meet two different fates? II is implicit; look at the way in which ‘inspector raj’ is being contrasted with ‘licence raj’, which the reforms have put an end to. III is implicit: if you wish to get rid of something, you assume that it is a menace.
