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.

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.

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.

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: 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.

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.

EduRev CLAT answered
Let's analyze the assumptions based on the given statement.
Statement: The government has instructed all the private schools in the city to maintain the current fees for at least two more years.
Assumptions:
  • Assumption I: The authorities of private schools may not follow the government instruction as they are not dependent on government funds.
    • This assumption suggests that the private schools may ignore the government's instruction because they do not rely on government funding. It is implicit because the statement implies that the schools have the freedom to follow or not follow the instructions.
  • Assumption II: The parents of the students of private schools of the city may still be eager to pay higher fees.
    • This assumption is about the willingness of parents to pay higher fees despite the government's instruction. This assumption is not directly connected to the government's instruction; rather, it speculates on parents' behavior, which is not implicit in the statement.
Conclusion: Only Assumption I is implicit, as it directly relates to the possibility of the schools not following the government instruction due to their independence from government funds.

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.

Thus, the correct answer is D: Neither Assumption I nor II is implicit.

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.

Understanding the Statement
The statement indicates a significant rise in air traffic in India over recent years. This suggests a growing trend in air travel, which may be due to various factors.
Analyzing the Assumptions
- Assumption I: "Travelling by air has become a status symbol now."
This assumption implies that air travel is seen as a luxury or a sign of prestige. While air traffic may have increased, the statement does not directly support the idea that air travel is now a status symbol. The rise could be due to other factors such as convenience or necessity rather than a desire to display wealth.
- Assumption II: "Large number of people are able to afford air travel now."
This assumption is more closely aligned with the statement. An increase in air traffic suggests that more people are choosing to fly, which can be interpreted as a result of increased affordability. If a larger segment of the population can afford air travel, it logically follows that air traffic would rise.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis:
- Assumption I lacks direct support from the statement, as it does not necessarily imply a status symbol.
- Assumption II is implicit, as the increase in air traffic is likely tied to more people being able to afford it.
Thus, the correct answer is option B: "if only Assumption II is implicit."
