Both the assumptions are valid. Since the company has published (or telecasted) a particular advertisement, their assumption is that people will respond to such advertisements. Otherwise, they would not have gone ahead with that advertisement. Similarly, since ABC company is motivating potential consumers to use their trial products, the clear assumption is that people do like using trial products before making the purchase.

Both the given statements, at best, are conclusions of the statement that technology has created new gaps, while at the same time bridging old ones. They’re not valid assumptions.

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.

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.

Dia Mehta answered |
When such a warning is printed on a cigarette box (though only to abide by the law!) the assumption is clearly that it will have a negative effect on smoking habits of the people. Thus, it is a valid assumption. II cannot be an assumption as then such a notice would not have been printed on the cigarette boxes, and even the Government would not have asked the cigarette companies to do so.

I directly follows from the statement and so is implicit. Also, the statement is a suggestion and does not tell about a government policy or its position of funds. So, II is not implicit.

The advertising company cannot possibly move on the assumption that it will have no effect on people. Thus, I am ruled out. II is a valid assumption as an advertisement only publicizes the characteristic of the product which its potential customers want to see in that product.

It is nowhere implied that making notes from the newspaper is the only way for efficiently preparing for current affairs. Thus, I am ruled out. II is a clear assumption of the author.

I is a clear assumption from the statement. When the author says that today’s generation has forgotten their family values, he implies that this was not the case with the previous generations and they had their family values intact. II involves outside information, and is more of an argument against the original statement of the author, and is certainly not an assumption of the author. Thus, II doesn’t follow.

Eshaan Kapoor answered |
Only I is a valid assumption primarily because of two reasons. First, the author tacitly states the same in the first line ‘Profitability is a necessary condition for existence . . .’. Second, since the author has compared profitability to oxygen, food, water and blood, his clear assumption is that it is extremely essential for the existence of visionary companies. II however is not an assumption of the statement since it clearly states ‘. . . but not an end in itself for many of the visionary companies’.
