The statement is about the need for more staff due to the current expansion, not stating that more staff will cause further expansion.III. Suitable persons to be taken as staff will be available.- This assumption is implicit in the statement. The owner's statement about the need to hire more staff implies that they believe suitable candidates will be available to fill these positions.Therefore, the correct answer is:C.

Implicit Assumptions in a Retail Store's Announcement

Statement: A major retail store announced a thirty percent reduction on all food items during the weekend.

Assumption I: People may still prefer buying food items from other stores.
Assumption II: A large number of customers may visit the retail store and buy food items.

Explanation:

Assumption I: People may still prefer buying food items from other stores.
This assumption is not implicit in the statement as the announcement made by the retail store is about a discount on all food items during the weekend. It is not stated or implied in the statement that people may still prefer buying food items from other stores. Therefore, this assumption is not implicit.

Assumption II: A large number of customers may visit the retail store and buy food items.
This assumption is implicit in the statement as the retail store has announced a thirty percent reduction on all food items during the weekend. This announcement is a marketing strategy to attract a large number of customers to the retail store. Therefore, it can be assumed that a large number of customers may visit the retail store to buy food items. Hence, Assumption II is implicit in the statement.

Conclusion:
Hence, only Assumption II is implicit in the statement.

    if only Assumption II is implicit.
  • c)
    if either Assumption I or II is implicit.
  • d)
    if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit.
  • e)
    if both Assumptions I and II are Implicit.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Aarav Joshi answered
Assumption Analysis:
Assumption I: The management of the organisation may not grant leave to most of these employees.
This assumption is implicit as the statement mentions that many employees have applied for special sabbatical leave. The word "many" implies that there is a possibility that not all employees will be granted this leave by the management.
Assumption II: These employees may be able to complete their education during the sabbatical leave.
This assumption is not implicit in the statement as there is no information provided about the success rate of employees completing their education during the sabbatical leave. The statement only mentions that employees have applied for the leave, but it does not guarantee that they will be able to complete their education within the given timeframe.
Therefore, the correct answer is:

(b) if only Assumption II is implicit.

Assumptions:
I. Pollution in the city is being caused only because of the factories existing there.

  • a)
    if only Assumption I is implicit.
  • b)
    if only Assumption II is implicit.
  • c)
    if either Assumption I or II is implicit.
  • d)
    if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit.
  • e)
    if both Assumptions I and II are Implicit.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

To determine which assumptions are implicit in the statement, let’s analyze each assumption:
Statement: Government has decided to relocate all the factories from the city with immediate effect to reduce pollution.
Assumption I: Pollution in the city is being caused only because of the factories existing there.
  • This assumption is implicit because the statement suggests relocating factories as a solution to reduce pollution, implying that factories are a primary source of the pollution. However, it does not necessarily mean that factories are the only cause of pollution, so this assumption is not fully supported.
Assumption II: People may be able to manage travelling daily to the relocated factories.
  • This assumption is implicit because if factories are relocated, people would need to travel to the new locations. The statement assumes that managing this change in terms of travel is feasible.
Given this analysis:
  • Assumption I is not fully implicit as it assumes that factories are the only cause of pollution, which is not necessarily stated or implied.
  • Assumption II is implicit as the statement implies that relocation will have practical implications for people's travel arrangements.
Thus, the answer is: 2

  • b)
    Only II and III
  • c)
    Only I and III                       
  • d)
    All I, II and III
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Dia Mehta answered
Answer: D. All I, II and III
Explanation:
  • Assumption I: There may be some unscrupulous shopkeepers who illegally take more than the MRP printed on the bottle. Since the Department of Excise has issued this instruction, it implies that there could be shopkeepers who charge more than the MRP, and the instruction aims to protect the consumers from being overcharged.
  • Assumption II: Paying more than the MRP printed on the bottle might encourage black marketing of the product. The instruction also serves as a warning against encouraging illegal practices such as black marketing by not paying more than the MRP, which is the maximum legal price for the product.
  • Assumption III: The consumers can be cheated if they are not acquainted with such instructions. By issuing the instruction, the Department of Excise is trying to make consumers aware of their rights and the importance of not paying more than the MRP. This assumption is implicit in the statement as it aims to protect consumers from being cheated.

Anaya Patel answered
Answer: AExplanation:The statement is a notice in public interest by XYZ fire service, which provides safety guidelines for people while cooking. The given assumptions can be analyzed as follows:1. Assumption I: Prevention is better than cure. - The notice aims to provide preventive measures to avoid fire-related accidents. - It suggests not allowing children near stove or heater and not wearing loose/flowing and synthetic clothes while cooking. - Thus, this assumption is implicit in the statement.2. Assumption II: Wearing loose/flowing and synthetic clothes while cooking can be detrimental. - The statement specifically advises against wearing loose/flowing and synthetic clothes while cooking. - This implies that such clothing can pose a risk while cooking and may lead to fire-related accidents. - Therefore, this assumption is also implicit in the statement.3. Assumption III: Alertness can avert unpleasant incidents related with fire. - The notice provides safety guidelines to follow while cooking, indicating that being alert and following these guidelines can help avoid fire-related accidents. - It implies that being cautious and paying attention to these safety measures can prevent unpleasant incidents. - Consequently, this assumption is implicit in the statement as well.Based on the analysis, all three assumptions (I, II, and III) are implicit in the statement. Hence, the correct answer is A: All I, II, and III.

  • d)
    if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit.
  • e)
    if both Assumptions I and II are Implicit.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Malini verma answered
Assumption Analysis:
Assumption I: Many people are looking up for best communication facilities.
- This assumption is implicit as the statement implies that there is a need for easier and faster communication, indicating that people are indeed looking for better communication facilities.
- The advertisement is targeting individuals who are seeking improved communication methods, suggesting that many people are interested in such services.
Assumption II: Broadband connections are preferred mode of communication.
- This assumption is not implicit as the statement does not explicitly state that broadband connections are the preferred mode of communication.
- While the advertisement promotes the use of broadband connections for easier and faster communication, it does not necessarily mean that broadband is the most preferred mode of communication for everyone. It could be one of the preferred options, but not the only one.
Therefore, only Assumption I is implicit in the statement.

Q. Statement: “Buy ‘LG’ TV for better sound quality.” – An advertisement
Assumptions:
I. “LG’ TV is the only TV in the market.

III. People generally ignore such advertisements.
  • a)
    Only I is implicit                   
  • b)
    Only II is implicit
  • c)
    Only III is implicit                
  • d)
    None is implicit
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer: D. None is implicit

Explanation:

The given statement is an advertisement that claims that 'LG' TV has better sound quality. Let's analyze each assumption:

- Assumption I: The statement does not imply that 'LG' TV is the only TV in the market. It simply states a reason to buy 'LG' TV i.e. better sound quality.
- Assumption II: The advertisement does not mention anything about the price of 'LG' TV, so we cannot infer that it is the costliest.
- Assumption III: The statement does not provide any information about how people generally react to such advertisements, so we cannot assume that people ignore them.

Thus, none of the assumptions are implicit in the given statement.

Dia Mehta answered
Answer: B. Only II and IIIExplanation:The given statement talks about the Central Government employees threatening to go on an indefinite strike to push for their demand for the constitution of the Sixth Pay Commission.Assumptions:- II. The government may grant the basic demands of the employees if they go on strike:This assumption is implicit in the statement, as the employees are threatening to go on strike to get their demands met, which means they believe that the government might consider their demands if they go on strike.- III. The basic demand for the immediate setting up of the Sixth Pay Commission may grant interim relief to employees:This assumption is also implicit, as the statement mentions that the employees are pushing for the constitution of the Sixth Pay Commission, which implies that they expect some relief or benefit from it.However, assumption I (Strike is the only way to put pressure on the government for settlement of demands) is not implicit, as the statement does not mention that strike is the only option available to the employees. It is just one of the actions they have chosen to take in order to put pressure on the government.

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Crafty Classes answered
  • Assumption I: This is implicit. For organizations to switch to the online mode of examinations, they must assume that candidates are familiar with computers and capable of navigating an online exam system. If this assumption were not made, it would be risky to switch to online exams, as candidates might face difficulties.
  • Assumption II: This is not necessarily implicit. The statement does not imply that the purpose of switching to the online mode of examination is to recruit more capable personnel. The switch could be due to other reasons, such as efficiency, cost-effectiveness, or convenience. There is no direct indication that online exams are believed to lead to better recruitment outcomes in terms of the capability of candidates.
Thus, the correct answer is A: Only Assumption I is implicit.

  • Assumption I: This is not implicit. The statement suggests that referring to the dictionary can help improve writing, but it does not imply that only writers use dictionaries. Many people who are not writers may also refer to the dictionary.
  • Assumption II: This is also not implicit. The statement advises B to refer to the dictionary to become a good writer but does not suggest that all writers (good or bad) necessarily do so.
Thus, the correct answer is D: Neither Assumption I nor II is implicit.

Directions: In this question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. Consider the statement and decide which of the given assumptions is implicit. 
Statement:
‘I do not think the use or misuse of expensive gadgets, modern technology and the likes defines our generation.

    If only assumption I is implicit 
  • b)
    If only assumption II is implicit
  • c)

Partho Pillai answered
Understanding the Statement
The statement by Mr. Prakash emphasizes a perspective on technology and intellectual growth. It suggests that our generation's identity is not solely defined by the use of modern gadgets but rather by our adaptability and willingness to experiment.
Analysis of Assumptions
- Assumption I: "Being receptive to change and continuous experimentation leads to intellectual superiority."
- This assumption aligns with Mr. Prakash's argument. He explicitly states that our generation is "intellectually superior" because we are more receptive to change and like experimenting. Thus, this assumption is implicit in the statement.
- Assumption II: "The use of expensive gadgets leads to intellectual superiority."
- This assumption is not supported by the statement. Mr. Prakash argues against the notion that gadgets define our generation's intellect, implying that the mere use of technology does not equate to intellectual superiority.
Conclusion
Given the analysis:
- Only Assumption I is implicit in the statement, as it reflects the core idea presented by Mr. Prakash regarding the relationship between adaptability and intellectual growth.
- Assumption II is not implicit, as it contradicts the main argument.
Thus, the correct answer is option A: If only assumption I is implicit.

Shruti shah answered
Statement: If you want the best training in computers join our classes - An advertisement.
Assumptions:
I. People want training related to computers.
II. People read advertisements.
III. People want quality training.

Explanation:
To determine which assumptions are implicit in the statement, we need to analyze the given statement and assess the logical connections between the statement and the assumptions.

I. People want training related to computers:
This assumption is implicit in the statement because the advertisement specifically mentions "the best training in computers." The statement is targeted towards individuals who are interested in computer training, indicating that people want training related to computers.

II. People read advertisements:
This assumption is also implicit in the statement. The purpose of the advertisement is to reach out to potential customers and attract them to join the classes. The assumption is that people read advertisements in order to become aware of the available options and make informed decisions.

III. People want quality training:
Although the statement mentions "the best training in computers," it does not explicitly state that people want quality training. This assumption goes beyond the information provided in the statement and cannot be considered implicit.

Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, we can conclude that assumptions I and II are implicit in the statement. Therefore, the correct answer is option D - All assumptions are implicit.

Geeta mehta answered
Understanding the Statement
The statement issued by the Department of Excise advises individuals under the age of 25 not to buy or consume liquor. It reflects a public health stance aimed at protecting young individuals.
Analysis of Assumptions
To determine which assumptions are implicit in the statement, let's analyze both provided assumptions:
Assumption I: It is good to know all rules related to excise.
- While it is beneficial to be aware of rules regarding excise, the statement does not imply that knowing all rules is essential. The notice focuses specifically on the age restriction for consuming liquor, not on general excise knowledge.
Assumption II: Consuming liquor can make a person below 25 years penniless.
- This assumption suggests a direct consequence of consuming liquor, but the statement does not provide any evidence or reasoning to support this claim. The notice aims to prevent underage drinking, likely due to health and safety concerns, rather than financial implications.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis, neither assumption is directly supported by the statement. The notice emphasizes the age restriction without implying a need for knowledge of excise rules or the financial effects of consuming liquor.
Final Answer
Thus, the correct answer is:
Option D: None of these

Directions: In this question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. Consider the statement and decide which of the given assumptions is implicit.

Understanding the Statement
The statement "People do not know what they want until you show it to them" implies that individuals often lack self-awareness or clarity regarding their desires and needs. This could suggest a dependency on external influences to define their preferences.
Analyzing Assumptions
- Assumption I: People are stupid.
- This assumption suggests a negative view of people's intelligence. The statement does not claim that people are inherently foolish; instead, it highlights a phenomenon of needing guidance or exposure to new ideas. Therefore, this assumption is not implicit in the statement.
- Assumption II: A great inventor always trusts his instincts over market research.
- This assumption implies a belief that inventors should rely on intuition rather than public opinion or research. The original statement does not mention inventors or their decision-making processes. It focuses on the general populace's awareness of their desires, making this assumption irrelevant.
Conclusion
Given the analysis of both assumptions:
- Neither assumption I nor II is supported by the statement.
- The statement conveys that people may be unaware of their wants, but it does not demean their intelligence or comment on the decision-making processes of inventors.
Thus, the correct answer is option D: If neither I nor II is implicit.

Dhruba Pillai answered
Explanation:
Assumption I: Mr. X may arrive at the meeting place before 11.00 a.m.
- This assumption is implicit as Mr. X starting at 9.00 am suggests he is making an effort to reach the meeting place on time or even before 11.00 am.
Assumption II: Mr. X's assistant may be able to arrive at the venue before commencement of the meeting.
- This assumption is implicit as Mr. X instructing his assistant to meet him at the venue implies that he expects the assistant to arrive before the meeting begins to hand over the relevant documents.
Therefore, both Assumptions I and II are implicit in the statement. Mr. X's actions and instructions indicate that he and his assistant are expected to reach the meeting venue before the scheduled time.

  • c)
    if either Assumption I or II is implicit.
  • d)
    if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit.
  • e)
    if both Assumptions I and II are Implicit.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Crafty Classes answered
  • Assumption I: This is not implicit. The increase in air traffic does not necessarily indicate that air travel has become a status symbol. The statement focuses on the rise in traffic, which could be due to many factors unrelated to status.
  • Assumption II: This is implicit. The increase in air traffic likely suggests that more people can afford air travel, which is a reasonable assumption given the statement's emphasis on the remarkable growth of air traffic in recent years.
Thus, the correct answer is B: Only Assumption II is implicit.

Assumptions Analysis:
Assumption I: The authorities of private schools may not follow the government instruction as they are not dependent on government funds.
Assumption II: The parents of the students of private schools of the city may still be eager to pay higher fees.

Explanation:

Assumption I Analysis:
- The statement mentions that the government has instructed private schools to maintain the current fees for at least two more years.
- As private schools are not dependent on government funds, there is a possibility that the authorities may choose not to follow the government's instruction.
- However, this assumption is not implicit in the statement as it does not provide any indication of the authorities' willingness to comply or not.

Assumption II Analysis:
- The statement does not provide any information about the parents' willingness to pay higher fees.
- It is not necessary that the parents would be eager to pay higher fees, as they might expect the schools to adhere to the government's instructions.
- Hence, this assumption is also not implicit in the statement.
Therefore, neither Assumption I nor Assumption II is implicit in the given statement. The statement simply states the government's instruction without providing any information regarding the actions of the authorities or the parents.

Ekta verma answered
Assumptions Analysis:
Assumption I: Economic policy is a sensitive issue.
- This assumption is implicit as the statement suggests that the Planning Commission needs expertise to assist in shaping economic policies, indicating that economic policy is indeed a sensitive issue that requires careful consideration.
Assumption II: Indian experts are the best judge of the ground realities of India.
- This assumption is implicit as the statement emphasizes the importance of utilizing indigenous capabilities in the Planning Commission, implying that Indian experts are well-equipped to understand and address the ground realities of India.
Assumption III: Foreign-bred plans may succeed in one country but fail in another.
- This assumption is implicit as the statement argues against the induction of foreign experts in the Planning Commission, suggesting that foreign plans may not be suitable for India due to differences in context and conditions.
Therefore, all three assumptions are implicit in the statement provided by Mr. X.

Assumption I: All people read newspapers but not necessarily the same one.
  • Not necessary for the notice to be issued. Even if not all people read newspapers, the department may still choose this medium.
  • Not implicit.
Assumption II: Newspaper can be a successful mode of making people aware of the notice.
  • This is implicit, because issuing the notice in all newspapers suggests they believe it’s an effective way to reach people.
  • Implicit.
Assumption III: Consumption of liquor is injurious to health.
  • The notice is about licensing, not about health effects of liquor. No such assumption is necessary for this statement.
  • Not implicit.

Statement: As a measure to avoid occurrence of the epidemics due to monsoon the civic authorities have organised free vaccination camps all over the city.
Assumptions:

    if only Assumption II is implicit.
  • c)
    if either Assumption I or II is implicit.
  • d)
    if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit.
  • e)
    if both Assumptions I and II are Implicit.
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev CLAT answered
  • Assumption I: The civic authorities have organized free vaccination camps with the expectation that people will attend. If the authorities did not expect any participation, organizing these camps would serve little purpose. Therefore, Assumption I is implicit, as it connects the initiative with the anticipated public response.
  • Assumption II: This assumption directly links people's understanding of the importance of vaccination to their likelihood of attending the camps. The statement implies that the authorities are counting on this understanding to ensure participation, since no additional public awareness measures are mentioned. Therefore, Assumption II is also implicit. as it assumes that people are aware of the importance of vaccination and will attend based on this understanding.
Both assumptions are necessary for the statement to make sense—civic authorities would assume that there will be a good response (Assumption I) and that people understand the importance of vaccination (Assumption II).
Thus, the correct answer is (e) if both Assumptions I and II are implicit.
