STATEMENT ASSUMPTIONS

In each of the following questions a statement is followed by two
assumptions numbered 1 and 2. An assumption is something
that is supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the
statement and the following assumptions and decide which of
the assumptions is implicit in the statement.
Give answer (a) If only assumption 1 is implicit.
Give answer (b) If only assumption 2 is implicit.
Give answer (c) If either assumption1 or 2 is implicit.
Give answer (d) If neither assumption1 nor 2 is implicit.
Give answer (e) If both assumptions 1 and 2 are implicit.

1) Statement : Vitamin E tablets improve circulation, keep
your complexion in a glowing condition.
Assumptions : 1) People like a glowing complexion.
2) Complexion becomes dull in the absence of circulation.
Answer : e.

Explanation : Both assumptions are implicit. Generally, only those
good features of a product are highlighted which people crave for. So, 1
is implicit. If circulation is improved, complexion grows. Hence, 2 is
also implicit.
Statement :

2) Statement : The function will start at 6 pm. You are
requested to take your seats before 6 pm.

Assumptions : 1) Function will start as scheduled.
2) If an invitee is not in his seat before 6 pm, the
function will not start.
Answer : a.

Explanation : It is mentioned in the invitation that you are requested
to take your seats
before 6 pm. It means that function will start as scheduled.
Hence, assumption 1 is implicit. It is not given that the function will not
start if invitees do not come in-time.
3) Statement : The X passenger car manufacturing company
announced a sharp reduction in the prices of their luxury cars.
Assumptions : 1) There may be an increase in the sale of their luxury
cars.
2) The other such car manufacturers may also reduce their
prices.

Answer : a.

Explanation : The price of any product is lowered assuming that its
demand will increase. Therefore, assumption 1 is implicit. There is no
information about the other manufacturers, so assumption 2 is not
implicit.

4) Statement : if you want to give any advertisement, give it in
the newspaper A. X tells Y.
Assumptions : 1) Y wants to publicize his products.
2) Newspaper A has a wide circulation.
Answer : b.

Explanation : The word If in the statement shows that Y may or may not
want to publicise his products. So, 1 is not implicit. X advised that
advertisements be given in newspaper A. This means that A will help
advertise better i.e. it has wider circulation. So, 2 is implicit.

5) statement : Patients condition would improve after this
operation.
Assumptions : 1) The patient can be operated upon in this condition.
2) The patient cant be operated upon in this condition.
Answer : a

Explanation : It is very much implied in the statement that the patient is
in a position to be operated upon. Therefore, assumption 1 is implicit. But,
assumption 2 is not implicit as it is just opposite to assumption 1.

6) Statement : The government has decided to allow the
shopping complexes to remain open till midnight to reduce
crowding of shoppers in these complexes during the weekends.
Assumptions : 1) The sales of these shopping complexes may increase
generating revenue for the govt.
2) People may still prefer to shop during the weekends.
Answer : d.

Explanation : The objective of Govt. behind taking this decision is to
facilitate people to shop at their leisure times during the late evening hours
and not to increase its revenue. Hence, 1 is not implicit. No such
information like people are interested to shop during only weekends. So, 2
is also not implicit.

7) statement : The state government has decided to appoint
thousand primary school teachers during next financial year.
Assumptions : 1) There are enough schools in the state to accommodate
four thousand primary school teachers during the next financial year.
2) The eligible candidates may not be interested to apply as
the Govt. may not finally appoint such a large number of primary school
teachers.
Answer : a.

Explanation : As per the requirement of teachers in primary school only,
the Govt. may have taken such decision. So, 1 is implicit. Assumption 2 is
absurd as it is against the govt.s decision.

8) Statement : Railway officials have started ten new trains and
increased the frequency of fourteen trains.
Assumptions : 1) The existing trains are not sufficient to provide
accommodation to all passengers.
2) The new and additional trains would have sufficient
passengers so that they will be economically viable.
Answer : e.

Explanation : Such decisions are always taken keeping in mind the public
requirements and their economic viability for the concerned department
i.e. railways. So, both 1 and 2 are implicit.

9) Statement : A advises B If you want to study English, join
institute Y.
Assumptions : 1) Institute Y provides good coaching for English.
2) B listens to As advice.
Answer : e.

Explanation : Since A advises B to join institute Y to study English,
hence it is assumed that institute Y provides good coaching for English.
Secondly, it is also assumed that B listens to As advice as it is the objective
behind giving the advice.

10) Statement : In the recently imposed war, global public
opinion was dishonored by the economically strong and
scientifically advanced superpower. Assumptions : 1)
Superpowers need not take any heed of global public opinion.
2) Global public opinion should have been against the
imposition of war.
Answer : d .

Explanation : Dishonouring the global public opinion by the superpower
implies that the speaker must be assuming that global public opinion is
against the imposition of war. But note that 2 says .should have been
hence, not implicit. 1 is not implicit either. It is, in fact, contrary to the
speakers assumption.

11) Statement : Graduates with first-class are eligible to apply
for the admission to MBA courses in our institute. An
advertisement by a management institute.
Assumptions : 1) There are plenty of first class graduates who are likely
to apply for admission to MBA.
2) Only those who are first-class graduates can cope up with
the studies for MBA courses.
Answer : a.
Explanation : Assumption 1 is obvious; that is why graduates with first
class only are being considered eligible for the course. 2 is not implicit
because of the word only.

12) Statement : Traffic jams on most of the roads in the city have
become a regular feature during monsoon.
Assumptions : 1) Material used for road construction cannot withstand
the fury of monsoon resulting into innumerable potholes on the roads.
2) Number of vehicles coming on the roads is much more in
monsoon as compared to other seasons.
Answer : a
Explanation : The problem of traffic jams arises during monsoons not
because of increased number of vehicles but due to slow movement of
traffic on account of bad roads. We can not say directly that number of
vehicles is more in monsoon as compared to other seasons. So, only 1 is
implicit.

13) Statement : If you want to get a good job you must have at
least the basic knowledge of computers.
Assumptions : 1) Computer knowledge has been made an essential
criterion by most of the companies nowadays.
2) All good jobs involve use of computers.
Answer : a.
Explanation : Assumption 1 is implicit. It is this that makes the speaker
say you must have at least the basic knowledge of computers. 2 is not
implicit because of the word All.

14) Statement : Use Fair and Lovely fairness cream for fair
complexion. an advertisement.
Assumptions : 1) people respond to the advertisements.
2) People like to use cream for fair complexion.
Answer : e.
Explanation : Advertisement has been used assuming that product is
used by people for various uses. Secondly, advertisements are used for
publicity because people respond positively to the advertisements. Hence,
assumption 1 and 2 are implicit.

15) Statement : This bridge was built at the cost of Rs. 128
crores and even civil bus service is not utilizing it, what a pity to
see it grossly underutilized. A citizens view on a new flyover
linking east and west sides of suburb.
Assumptions : 1) The building of such bridges does not serve any public
objective.
2) There has to be some accountability and utility of money
spent on public projects.

Answer : b.

Explanation : The citizens statement clearly expresses the grave concern
over a newly-built flyover not being utilized by public. This implies that
such projects need to be taken up only after working out their utility and
that the huge expenditure incurred on building such structures is
worthwhile only if they prove useful for the public. Thus, only 2 is implicit.

Data sufficiency

Directions ( 1 15 ) : Each of the questions below consists of a
question and two statements numbered I and II are given below it.
You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are
sufficient to answer the question.
Read both statements and
Give answer A) If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to
answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not
Give answer B) If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to
answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not
Give answer C) If the data in statement I alone or in statement II
alone are sufficient to answer the question.
Give answer D) If the data in both the statements I and II are not
Give answer E) if the data in both the statements I and II together
are necessary to answer the question.

1) Who among P, Q, R, S, T, V and W is the shortest?
I. S is taller than T, P and W and is not the tallest.
II. T is shorter than Q but is not the shortest.

Answer : D.
Explanation : From statement I > S > T, P and W. S is not the tallest. So, Q
or R or V is the tallest.
And the shortest may be T or P or W.
From statement II > T < Q, but not the shortest. So, the shortest
may be P or W or S or R or V.
From both the statements > The shortest may be T or P or W. So,
we can not decide who is the shortest.

2) What is Mrudulas rank from top in a class of twenty students?
I. Radhika is fifth from the top and two ranks above Mrudula.
II. Amol is tenth from the bottom and three ranks below Mrudula.

Answer : C.

Explanation : From statement I > Mrudulas rank from the top = 7
th
( 5 + 2 ).
So, the given data is sufficient to answer the question.
From statement II > Mrudulas rank from the top = Amols rank
from the top ( 11
th
)
3 = 8
th
(Amols rank from the bottom > 10
th

, and 10 students
are there above Amol. So, his rank is 11
th
from
the top.) Second
statement alone is also sufficient to answer the
question.

3) What is Ts position with respect of W when T, W, R, J and M are
sitting around a circle facing the centre?
I. R is second to the left of M and second to the right of W.
II. J is not an immediate neighbour of M.

Answer : E.

Explanation : From statement I >

From statement I & II >

Hence, from both the statements we can say T is second to the left or third to
the right of W.

4) Who among P, Q, R, S and T is the shortest?
I. R, though not the shortest, is shorter than only Q.
II. S, though not as tall as P, is not the shortest.

Answer : E.

Explanation: From statement I > Q > R > _ > _ > _. ( R is shorter than
only Q means only Q is taller R and P, S & T are shorter than R.)
From statement II > P > S > _ > _ > _ or _ > P > S > _ > _ or _
> _ > P > S > _ .
From both the statements I & II > Q > R > P > S > _. > Q >
R > P > S > T.
So, T is the shortest.

5) Who among M, N, O, P and Q is the youngest?
I. N, the second youngest, is younger than Q, O and M.
II. O, the second oldest, is older than N.

Answer : A.

Explanation : From statement I > Q, O and M are older than N and N is the
second youngest. So, the other person P is the youngest. The order may be Q
> O > M > N > P.
From statement II > _ > O > N > _ > _. So, there is no clue about
the youngest.

6) What does pe mean in a code language?
I. Na si la lo means you may go now and ne si na pe means he may go
there in that code language.
II. Ki se pe bo means come there and see and se ni bo ki means come here
and see in that code language.

Answer: B.

Explanation : From statement I
na si la lo > you may go now
ne si na pe > he may go there na si = may go
ne pe = he there. So, pe = he or there.
From statement II
Ki se pe bo > come there and see
se ni bo ki > come here and see ki se bo = come and see
So, pe = there.

7) How many siblings does Rukmini have?
I. Rukmini has only one brother.
II. Rukmini is the only daughter of her parents.

Answer : C.

Explanation : Rukmini has only one brother means Rukmini has only one
sibling. So, we can answer the question by using statement I.
Rukmini is the only daughter of her parents means Rukmini has
no sibling. So, we can answer the question by using statement II also.

8) B is brother of A . How is A related to M?
I. M has two sons and one daughter.
II. M has three children, out of which one is B.

Answer : D.

Explanation : From both I and II , M is a parent , he or she has 3 children,
among them B is a brother of A. Here, gender of A is not given. So, A is either son
or daughter to M. Both data are not sufficient to answer the question.

9) What does ta mean in a code language?
I. pa ta ja means over and above in that code language.
II. ho ka pa means come over here in that code language.

Answer : D.

Explanation : From explanation I and II > pa ta ja > over and
above
ho ka pa > come over here

pa means over and ta means and or above. So, we can not answer the
question by using both statements.

10) Pole X is in which direction with respect to pole Y?
I. Pole H is to the north-east of pole X and to the north of pole Y.
II. Pole R is to the east of pole X and to the north of pole Y.

Answer : B.
Explanation : Base diagram


Statement I >

So, We can not decide the direction of X with respect of Y.

Statement II >

So, we can decide the direction of X with respect of Y by using the statement II.

CODED RELATIONS
Directions(1 5 ): These questions are based on the following
information.
P = Q means Q is the father of P
P # Q means P is the sister of Q
P ? Q means Q is the mother of P
P $ Q means P is the brother of Q
P Q means Q is the son of P
P Q means P is the daughter of Q
1) Which of the following is not correct?
1) L M # O means O is the sister of L 2) M # O P = Q means Q and O
are husband & wife
3) P = Q ? R means R is the grandmother of P 4) R S ? T means R is the
granddaughter of T
5) All are correct
Answer : 1) L M # O means O is the sister of L.
Explanation : 1) L M # O > M is son of L, M is sister of O > M is a male
here, he can not become sister to O. So, this is not correct.
2) Which of the following is correct?
1) L M $ R means R is the paternal uncle of L 2) M $ R # D ? V means M
is the son of V
3) D ? V T means D is the granddaughter of T 4) V T # P means P is the
maternal uncle of V 5) None is correct:
Answer : 2) M $ R # D ? V means M is the son of V
Explanation : 1) L M $ R > M is son of L, M is brother of R > R is not
paternal uncle of L, R is either son or daughter to L.
2) M $ R # D ? V > M is brother of R, R is sister of D, V is mother of D . V is
mother of M, R and D. So, M is son of V.

3) Which of the following indicates A is the grandfather of B?
1) M A = N = B 2) B $ L Q A 3) L # B = S $ Q = A 4) B L A
5) None of these
Answer : 3) L # B = S $ Q = A .
Explanation : A is grand father of B means A must be a male. In 1, 2 and 4
options there is no confirmation of As gender. In all these options A is either
male or female. So, all these options can be eliminated. But in third option A is a
male. So we have to check that option.
L # B = S $ Q = A > L and B are children to S and S and Q are children to A.

4) Which of the following means F is the paternal uncle of G?
1) L = F $ Q G 2) G M # F $ L 3) N $ F $ L G 4) G L $ F $ N 5)
None of these
Answer : 4) G L $ F $ N .
Explanation : F is paternal uncle of G means F must be a male. In all options F is
male.
G L $ F $ N > L, F and N are siblings and G is Ls daughter. And F is
paternal uncle of G.

5) S M # B = F $ D reveals which of the following relations?
1) M is the maternal uncle of F 2) S is the granddaughter of F 3) B is the
paternal uncle of S 4) F and B are brother and sister 5) None of the above
relations gets revealed
Answer : 2) S is the granddaughter of F .
Explanation : S M # B = F $ D > S is daughter of M and M is mother
of S and sister of B. B and M are children of F and F is brother of D. So, S is
grand daughter of F and F is maternal grand father of S. D is maternal grand
mother or grand father to S.

Directions(6-8): These questions are based on the following
information.

The triangles composed of two components each are AEL, KDJ, HIC and FBG i.e. 4 in number.
The triangles composed of three components each are APF, EQB, BQH, GVC, CVJ, IUD, DUL and
KPA i.e. 8 in number.
The triangles composed of six components each are ASB, BSG, CSD, DSA, AKF, EBH, GGJ and
IDL i.e. 8 in number.
The triangles composed of twelve components each are ADB, ABC, BCD and CDA i.e. 4 in number.
Total number of triangles in the figure = 12 + 4 + 8 + 8 + 4 = 36.
13. What is the number of triangles that can be formed whose vertices are the vertices of an
octagon but have only one side common with that of octagon?

When the triangles are drawn in an octagon with vertices same as those of the octagon and having
one side common to that of the octagon, the figure will appear as shown in (Fig. 1).

Now, we shall first consider the triangles having only one side AB common with octagon
ABCDEFGH and having vertices common with the octagon (See Fig. 2).Such triangles are ABD,
ABE, ABF and ABG i.e. 4 in number.

Similarly, the triangles having only one side BC common with the octagon and also having vertices
common with the octagon are BCE, BCF, BCG and BCH (as shown in Fig. 3). i.e. There are 4 such
triangles.
This way, we have 4 triangles for each side of the octagon. Thus, there are 8 x 4 = 32 such triangles.


The simplest triangles are BFG, CGH, EFM, FMG, GMN, GHN, HNI, LMK, MNK and KNJ i.e. 10
in number.
The triangles composed of three components each are FAK and HKD i.e. 2 in number.
The triangles composed of four components each are BEN, CMI, GLJ and FHK i.e. 4 in number.
The triangles composed of eight components each are BAJ and OLD i.e. 2 in number.
Thus, there are 10 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 18 triangles in the given figure.


The simplest triangles are AHL, LHG, GHM, HMB, GMF, BMF, BIF, CIF, FNC, CNJ, FNE, NEJ,
EKJ and JKD i.e. 14 in number.
The triangles composed of two components each are AGH, BHG, HBF, BFG, HFG, BCF, CJF, CJE,
JEF, CFE and JED i.e. 11 in number.
The triangles composed of four components each are ABG, CBG, BCE and CED i.e. 4 in number.
Total number of triangles in the given figure = 14 + 11 + 4 = 29.

The figure may be labeled as shown.

The simplest triangles are ABJ, ACJ, BDH, DHF, CIE and GIE i.e. 6 in number.
The triangles composed of two components each are ABC, BDF, CEG, BHJ, JHK, JKI and CJI i.e. 7
in number.
There is only one triangle JHI which is composed of four components.
Thus, there are 6 + 7 + 1 = 14 triangles in the given figure
