Test: Assumptions- 2 - CLAT MCQ

• Assumption I: This assumption is not necessarily implicit because the statement does not indicate that the store is concerned about losing customers to other stores. The focus of the statement is on attracting customers, not about their preferences for other stores.
• Assumption II: This is implicit because the purpose of the discount is likely to attract more customers to the store. Announcing a discount implies the expectation that a large number of people will come to take advantage of the offer.

Thus, the correct answer is B: Only Assumption II is implicit.

• Assumption I: This is not implicit. The decision to give grace marks suggests the school expects an improvement in results. The statement does not imply that the school believes students will still fail even after awarding grace marks.
• Assumption II: This is implicit. The reason for giving grace marks is to help students improve their performance, implying the school believes that most students will pass with the help of these additional marks.

Thus, the correct answer is B: Only Assumption II is implicit.

• Assumption I: The advertisement does not necessarily imply that people prefer exercise over medication. It only promotes Yoga as a fitness method without indicating people's preferences between exercise and medication.
• Assumption II: This is implicit because the advertisement assumes that people are aware of Yoga and its benefits. Without such awareness, the advertisement wouldn't be effective in encouraging people to join the Yoga institute.

Thus, the correct answer is B: Only Assumption II is implicit.

• Assumption I: This is not necessarily implicit. The statement does not imply that all good jobs require the use of computers, only that computer knowledge is important for many of them. There may still be good jobs that do not involve computers.
• Assumption II: This is implicit. The statement assumes that companies, in general, consider computer knowledge important enough for it to be a criterion for securing a good job.

Thus, the correct answer is B: Only Assumption II is implicit.

• 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.

• Assumption I: This is not implicit. The statement does not suggest that there is a likelihood of relatives refusing to take the affected people to government hospitals. It merely states that people were taken to both government and private hospitals.
• Assumption II: This is implicit. The statement implies that nearby hospitals are expected to handle the situation, meaning the assumption is that these hospitals have the capacity to attend to all the affected individuals.

Thus, the correct answer is B: Only Assumption II is implicit.

• Assumption I: This is implicit. The decision to block traffic suggests that the municipal authority expects a large crowd of devotees to visit the temple, leading to congestion.
• Assumption II: This is also implicit. The statement assumes that people who do not have urgent work might reschedule their travel to avoid the inconvenience caused by the traffic block.

Thus, the correct answer is E: Both Assumptions I and II are implicit.

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.

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.

Ans: D - if only Assumption I is implicit.

• Assumption I: This is implicit. The decision to demolish the bridge assumes that the traffic department has a plan in place to manage and divert vehicles through alternate routes during construction.
• Assumption II: This is not necessarily implicit. There is no indication in the statement that people would protest the decision, so this assumption is speculative and not necessarily taken for granted in the statement.

Thus, the correct answer is A: Only Assumption I is implicit.

• Assumption I: This suggests that the management might reject the leave requests. However, the statement does not provide any indication of management's stance on the leave applications. It simply states that many employees have applied for sabbatical leave. Therefore, there is no basis in the statement to support this assumption.
• Assumption II: This suggests that the employees who applied for sabbatical leave believe that two years will be sufficient to complete their higher education. This assumption is reasonable as employees would typically apply for leave with the expectation that it would cover the duration of their education.

Given the analysis:

• Assumption I is not necessarily implicit in the statement.
• Assumption II is implicit because employees applying for the leave likely believe they can complete their education in that time.

Thus, the correct answer is: if only Assumption II is implicit.

• Assumption I: This is implicit. Mohan’s request to arrange food for thirty people suggests that he assumes most of his invited friends will attend the celebration.
• Assumption II: This is not implicit. The statement only mentions arranging food for "about thirty" people, but it does not assume there cannot be more than thirty attendees. It simply reflects an estimation.

Thus, the correct answer is A: Only Assumption I is implicit.

• 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 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: 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: B

• Assumption I: This is implicit. Mr. X started his journey two hours before the scheduled time, which suggests that he assumes he will arrive at the meeting venue before or at 11:00 am. If he did not assume this, he would not have left so early.
• Assumption II: This is also implicit. Mr. X’s instruction to his assistant to hand over documents at the venue before the meeting implies that he assumes the assistant will also be able to reach the venue before the meeting begins.

Thus, the correct answer is E: Both Assumptions I and II are implicit.

• Assumption I: This is implicit. The advertisement aims to attract people by promoting broadband connections as a solution for easier and faster communication. It assumes that many people are actively seeking better communication facilities, which is why they would be interested in this offer.
• Assumption II: This is not necessarily implicit. The statement suggests that broadband is a good option, but it does not assume that broadband is already the preferred mode of communication. It is trying to persuade people to use broadband by highlighting its benefits.

Thus, the correct answer is A: Only Assumption I is implicit.

• Assumption I: This is implicit. The statement suggests that traffic jams are a regular occurrence during the monsoon, which could be because of poor road conditions caused by rain. The assumption that the material used for road construction is inadequate during the monsoon is valid in this context.
• Assumption II: This is not necessarily implicit. The statement does not suggest that the number of vehicles increases during the monsoon. The traffic jams may be caused by factors such as road conditions, not necessarily an increase in vehicles.

Thus, the correct answer is A: Only Assumption I is implicit.

• 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.

• Assumption I: This is implicit. The advertisement appeals to people’s desire to follow or emulate ideal leaders, implying that many people aspire to be like ideal leaders.

Thus, the correct answer is A: Only Assumption I is implicit.

• Assumption I: This is implicit. The statement promotes Vitamin E tablets by highlighting their benefit for a glowing complexion, which assumes that people value and desire to have a glowing complexion. Otherwise, the mention of this benefit would be irrelevant.
• Assumption II: This is also implicit. The statement links good circulation to a glowing complexion, implying that poor circulation may result in a dull complexion. The claim about improving circulation to enhance complexion assumes that a lack of circulation negatively affects the skin’s appearance.

Thus, the correct answer is A: Both Assumptions I and II are 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.
