Directions : In each question below a statement (or a passage) is followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An
assumption is something supposed or taken in for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following
assumptions and then decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. Give answer:
(a) if only assumption I is implicit.
(b) if only assumption II is implicit.
(c) if either assumption I or assumption II is implicit.
(d) if neither of the assumptions is implicit.
(e) if both the assumptions are implicit.
1. Statement : A sentence in the letter to candidates called for written examination - 'You have to bear your expenses on

II. Many organisations reimburse expenses on travel to candidates called for written examination.
2. Statement : It is through participative management policy alone that indiscipline in our industries can be contained and
quality of life ensured to the workers.
Assumptions :
I. Quality of life in our industry is better.
II. Indiscipline results in poor quality of life.
3. Statement :Many people have expressed surprise as the princes has broken the royal tradition of marriage by choosing
a commoner as her life partner.
Assumptions :

I. People expect royal families to observe customs and traditions.

II. People still value purity of royal blood and status when it comes to a marriage of members of royal family.
4. Statement : The chairman and secretary of the housing society have requested society members to use water

Assumptions :

II. It is desirable to reduce expenditure whenever possible.
5. Statement : The economic prosperity of any nation is dependent on the quality of its human resources.
Assumption :
I. It is possible to measure the quality of human resources of a nation.

6. Statement : The campaign of keep your city clean started by the civic council did not evoke any response from the

II. The civic council has failed in its campign.
7. Statement : The private bus services in the city has virtually collapsed because of the on going strike of its employees.
Assumptions :
I. Going on strike has become the right of every employee.
II. People no more require the services of private bus operators.
8. Statement : The new scheme gives people the opportunity to voluntarily declare their disclosed property and legitimize
it by paying the lowest ever
rate of tax.
Assumptions :
I. The new scheme is much better than the earlier scheme.
II. People may desire to pay less tax and own things legimately.
9. Statement : An advertisement of a bank "Want to open a bank account ! Just dial our 'room service' and we will come at

Assumptions :

II. Nowadays banking has become very competitive.
10. Statement :Do not copy our software without our permission - A notice
Assumptions :
I. It is possible to copy the software.
II. Such warning will have some effect.
Answers
1.(e) It is clearly mentioned in the call letter itself in order to avoid a situation in which the candidates demand for their
travelling expenses. So assumption I is implicit. Special mentioningof the fact means that some companies do reimburse the
travel expenses.
2.(d) Clearly assumption I is not implicit. Indiscipline in industry and poor quality of life for worker are the two problems pointed at in
the statement. But it-is not mentioned that one is the cause of other. So assumption II is also not implicit.
3. (e) As the people surprise the fact that the princes has married a commoner , i.e, a person not of her status and 'not' of
royal blood'
suggest
that
assumptions
I
and
II are
implicit.
4. (e) When a notice is issued it is expected that the people for which it is issued will pay attention to it. Also the theme of
the statement is desirable. Here the theme is reduction of tax, which can be constructed as reduction in expenditure. Hence, the
required
answer
is
5.
5. (a) Since the statement itself says that economic prosperity is measured by the quality of its human resources, we can say that
assumption
I
is
implicit.
However, assumption
II
leaves
much
to
be
desired for.
6. (b) The people were not enthused by the campaign does not imply that people do not want to keep their city clean.
Thus assumption I is not implicit. Also the main notice. Of the campaign was to involve as many citizens as possible to keep the city
clean
but
it
failed
to
achieve its
stipulated
target.
Thus
assumption
II is
implicit.
7.(d) Assumption I is not at all related to the statement just because private bus operators have gone on strike does not mean that
every employee has a right to go for strike (even though it may be true legally, but it is not relevant in this statement). Assumption II
is
totally
irrelevant, hence
both
the
assumptions
are
not
implicit.

8.(b) Since nothing has been said about the earlier scheme or law so we cannot say about the efficiency of the new scheme. Thus
assumption I is not implicit. The highlight of the scheme is that people may retain their property by paying lowest ever rate of tax.
Thus it can be safely assumed that people desire to pay less tax and own things legally. Thus assumption II is implicit. Hence the
required
answer is
(2).
9.(a) The advertisement is published with a view to attract customers. Unless and until there exists a section of people who require
such kind of services, the bank would not have published the advertisement. The assumption I is implicit. But from the statement we
can not assume that banking has became competitive (though we can definitely draw the above said as inference). Hence, the
required answer
(1).
10.(e) Both the assumptions are implicit. If it was not possible to copy the software, such statement would not have made. The
warning is given because it may have some effect. Thus assumptions I and II are implicit.

problem, policy etc. On the basis of the information given in the statement. You have to assume everything in the
statement to be true, then decide which of the two given suggested courses of action logically follows for pursuing.

(b) if only II follows
(c) if either I or II follows
(d) if neither I nor II follows
(e) if both I and II follow
1. Statement : The inmates of Jail X are very dangerous people.

II) Some inmates should be shifted to a different jail.
2. Statement : Power supply on state X is terribly poor.
Courses of Action :

II) The government should buy excess power from the neighboring states.
3. Statement: The teenager was arrested by the police for taking drugs.
Courses of Action :
I) The teenager should be meted with corporal punishment by the police.
II) The teenager should be sent to a drug rehabilitation centre.
4) Statement: Corruption has become rampant in our society.
Courses of Action :
I) All corrupt persons should be brought to book.
II) We should all strive to make our society corruption free.
5) Statement : Floods may create havoc in the country this year too.
Courses of Action :
I) The Government should be on the alert to evacuate flood-affected victims.
II) People should not be afraid of floods.
6) Statement : The State Government has decided to declare "Kala Azar" as a notifiable disease under the Epidemics Act.
1987 . Family members or neighbours of the patient are liable to be punished in case they do not inform the state
authorities.
Courses of Action :
I) Efforts should be made to effectively implement the Act.
II) The cases of punishment should be propagated through mass media so that more people become aware of the stern action.
7) Statement : Every year, at the beginning or at the end of the monsoons, we have some cases of conjunctivitis, but this
year it seems to be a major epidemic witnessed after nearly four years.
Courses of Action :
I) Precautionary measures should be taken after every four years to check this epidemic.
II) People should be advised to drink boiled water during winter season.
8) Statement : A recent study shows that children below five die in the cities of the developing countries mainly of
diarrhoea and parasitic intestinal worms.
Courses of Action :
I) Governments of the developing countries should take adequate measures to improve the hygienic conditions in the cities.
ii) Children below five years in the cities of the developing countries need to be brought under constant medication.
9) Statement : One of the problems facing the food- processing industry is the irregular supply of raw material to other
industries also.
Courses of Action :
I) The government should regulate the supply of raw material for the food processing industry.
II) The government should annouce an attractive Package to ensure regular supplly of raw material. The producers of raw material
are not getting a reasonable price.

10) Statement : Most the development plans develop on paper only.

Courses of Action :
I) The incharge should be instructed to supervise the field - work regularly.
II) the supply of paper to such departments should be cut short.
1)a I is desirable because tighter security arrangements are needed for dangerous people. II is ruled out because its
efficacy is
in
doubt.
2)

Both

and

II

are

established

facts

and hence

both

and

II

follows.

3) b It is an established fact that a teenager who takes drugs will never stop it if he is beaten by the police. But the right
action is
to
take
him
to
a
rehabilitation
centre. Hence
only
II
follows.
4)

Both

and

II

are

vague.

It

lacks

substance. Nothing

concrete

is

being

said

here.

5) a If floods occur this year too, I is likely to yield positive results. II is a negative approach. We must refrain from panic
but
a healthy
fear
is
desirable.
6) e When the Government takes such an action it is necessary that people are made aware of the consequences they
would face
if
they
do
not
obey
the
directive
. Hence
II
follows.
I
is
obvious.
7) d Against an epidemic, precautionary measures should be taken every year and not every four years. Hence I does not
follow. II
is
not
a
preventive
action
against conjunctivitis.
Hence
II
also
does
not
follow.
8) a To improve the hygienic conditions is always a welcome step and in view of the statement it becomes even more
necessary. Hence, I unquestionably follows. But II does not. We should not medicate any child unless he has actually
contracted the disease. Prevention is all right but curing should begin only after the disease has been contracted.
9) b I is an absurd suggestion. When one industry is facing trouble because of regulations, it talks of regulating the supply
of other industrial raw materials too. II is a better action because it would tend to solve the problem.
10) a The Statement mentions a problem that most of the development plans develop on paper only. They are not
materialised in reality. This problem could be solved if field work was supervised properly. Hence I follows. But II is a
absurd suggestion. The issue is lack of actual field work and not misuse of paper.
