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.

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.

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’.

Faizan Khan answered |
Mr Prakash is clearly connecting ‘being receptive to change’ and ‘being intellectually superior’ since he uses the words ‘as’ to connect these two traits (as we’re more receptive to change). Thus, it is a valid assumption. However, no connection or co-relation has been shown between use of gadgets and intellectual superiority. Thus, II is not an assumption in this statement.

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.

I is vague and is an extreme assumption. II, at best, is only an example or illustration of the statement. It’s nowhere mentioned, or implied, that the statement is primarily regarding inventors and not others.
