Assumptions:

I. It usually takes longer to reach Lucknow from Kanpur.

II. People want to reach early, but they will not give additional funds for this.

  1. If only assumption I is embedded.
  2. If only assumption II is embedded.
  3. If either I or II is embedded.
  4. If both I and II are embedded.
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : If only assumption I is embedded.

Statements and Assumptions Question 1 Detailed Solution

Given Statement: I can take you from Kanpur to Lucknow early from my car, but you have to pay double the fee from normal fee.

Assumptions:

I. It usually takes longer to reach Lucknow from Kanpur. → Embedded

Since the speaker is offering to take someone early, thus it implies that normally it takes longer than what the speaker is promising.

II. People want to reach early, but they will not give additional funds for this. → Not embedded

The statement demands double fee for early arrival, but nowhere does it assume people won't pay. In fact, the speaker expects that some people may pay.

Thus, only assumption I is embedded.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

Statements and Assumptions Question 2:

In the question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement:

Statement: The coffee powder of company X is quite better in taste than the much advertised coffee of company Y.

Assumptions:

I. If your product is not good, you spend more on advertisement.

II. Some people are tempted to buy a product by the advertisement.

  1. Either I or II is implicit.
  2. Only assumption II is implicit.
  3. Only assumption I is implicit.
  4. Neither I nor II is implicit.
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : Only assumption II is implicit.

Statements and Assumptions Question 2 Detailed Solution

The given statement contrasts the taste of coffee powder from company X with the more advertised coffee of company Y, suggesting that despite company Y's advertising, company X's coffee is better in taste.

Considering the assumptions:

I. If your product is not good, you spend more on advertisement.

  • This assumption suggests a reason why company Y might spend more on advertising — to compensate for the inferior taste. The statement does not directly imply this, but it is a possible underlying reason.

II. Some people are tempted to buy a product by the advertisement.

  • This assumption is implied directly because the statement mentions that company Y's coffee is much advertised, implying that advertising has an influence on consumer behavior.

Hence, the correct answer is  Only assumption II is implicit.

Statements and Assumptions Question 3:

Consider the argument and decide which of the given assumptions is/are implicit.

Argument:

If you’re a classical dancer, we have an exciting job for you.

Assumptions:

1. We need a classical dancer.

2. You are a classical dancer.

  1. Only assumption 1 is implicit
  2. Both 1 and 2 are implicit
  3. Only assumption 2 is implicit
  4. Neither 1 nor 2 is implicit
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : Only assumption 1 is implicit

Statements and Assumptions Question 3 Detailed Solution

In the argument, there is a job for you if you are a classical dancer. If you are not, then there is no job because the job is only for a classical dancer.

In assumption 1 there is a need for a classical dancer. So, this assumption supports the argument.

In assumption 2 we are not sure that the person is a classical dancer or not. So this assumption doesn’t support the argument.

Hence only assumption 1 is implicit.

Statements and Assumptions Question 4:

One statement is given, followed by two assumptions, I & II. You have to consider the statement to be true, even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You are to decide which of the given assumptions can definitely be drawn from the given statement.

Statement: “You are appointed as a trainee accountant on temporary basis. Your employment status will automatically be converted to permanent on submission of pass result of M Com final exam." — Extract from an appointment letter.

Assumptions:

I. M Com final exam is a reasonable proof of an accountant's capability.

II. All trainees are appointed on temporary basis.

  1. Both I and II are implicit
  2. Only assumption I is implicit
  3. Only assumption II is implicit
  4. Neither I nor II is implicit
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : Only assumption I is implicit

Statements and Assumptions Question 4 Detailed Solution

(Implicit - suggested though not directly expressed)

I. M Com final exam is a reasonable proof of an accountant's capability.

The phrase “employment status will automatically be converted to permanent on submission of pass result of M Com final exam” indirectly suggests that M Com final exam ensures the candidate’s credibility to such an extent that the candidate’s position can be made permanent on the basis of the pass result.

Thus, it can be assumed that M Com final exam is considered as a proof of an accountant’s capability.

II. All trainees are appointed on temporary basis.

The letter is being addressed to a particular candidate as it is an appointment letter.

Therefore, we cannot generalize the situation of the candidate.

Hence, only assumption I is implicit.

  3. Both conclusion I and II implicit.
  4. Either I or II is implicit.
  5. None is implicit.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : Only assumption I is implicit.

Statements and Assumptions Question 5 Detailed Solution

Given Statement: To curb rising food wastage, a city government has imposed fines on restaurants that discard excess food.

Given assumptions:

As food wastage occurs at multiple levels, including households, supply chains, and supermarkets. Targeting restaurants alone may not be enough to cause a significant reduction.

Thus, Only assumption I is implicit.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

It can be assumed that IIM does provide good management studies that is why Y advised X. Hence assumption 1 supports the argument.

If Y is advising X therefore, it can be assumed that X listens to Y. So, assumption 2 supports the argument.

Note:

When you are advising someone, you can assume that the person is willing to listen to your advise. That is, the possibility of such an assumption does exist.

Thus, in this question, the second assumption is implicit. When Y is advising X, he might be assuming that X will listen to his advice.

The statement says that human body can produce Vitamin D on its own with the help of sun exposure.

Therefore, it can be safely assumed that human body does not have to depend on food for its required intake of Vitamin D.

Thus, assumption I is implicit.

However, the statement does not discuss the deficiency of Vitamin D of anyone.

Therefore, assumption II is not implicit.

Hence, only assumption I is implicit.

Download Solution PDF

According to the given statement,

Assumption I: This is not implicit, because nothing is discussed about the relationship between internet and harassment of women.

Assumption II: This is implicit, because harassment of women is clearly a result of lack of moral values. Therefore, it can be assumed that moral education is not being imparted properly at many level.

Mistake Points

Note: Moral education is not properly imparted in the school and college levels. It addresses the broader issue of education and its potential impact on societal behavior.

Hence, “only assumption II” is implicit.

Important Points An Assumption is the missing link of the logical structure of an argument. It is left unsaid and therefore, assumed.
