Statement: Why don't you go to the court if the employer does not pay you the Provident Fund contribution?

Assumptions:

1. Courts can intervene in matters of dispute between employer and employees.

2. It is obligatory for the employer to pay the Provident Fund contribution to the employees.

Answer: E

Clearly, the statement encourages one to go to court to get his Provident Fund from his employer. This implies that the issue comes under the jurisdiction of courts and that it is the right of the employee to claim his Provident Fund. So, both I and II are implicit

Statement: 'Double your money in five months.' - An advertisement.

Assumptions:

1. The assurance is not genuine.

2. People want their money to grow.

Answer: B

The truth or falsity of the promise made in the statement cannot be judged. So, I is not implicit. Since the concerned firm advertises with the assurance that money can be doubled quickly by investing with it, so II is implicit.

Statement: The education of a student at collegiate level, not taking into account maintenance expenses, costs four hundred rupees a year. Collegiate education is thus drawing heavily upon the national resources of an impoverished community. So college education should be restricted to a brilliant few.

Assumptions:

1. Our resources are very limited.

2. Only a few students should be admitted to the colleges.

Answer: E

Correct answer: Both I and II are implicit

The argument rests on both: that the cost is a burden the community can ill afford - else restricting it would need no defence - and that a smaller number could be educated to better effect. Both are implicit.

Statement: A's advice to B - "Go to Jammu via Amritsar - the shortest route".

Assumptions:

1. B wishes to go to Jammu.

2. A gives advice to everybody.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Only assumption I is implicit

One does not tell a man the shortest way to Jammu unless one supposes he wants to go there - assumption I. Assumption II, that A advises everybody, is a claim about A’s habits that this single piece of advice does not require. Only I is implicit.

Statement: All existing inequalities can be reduced, if not utterly eradicated, by action of governments or by revolutionary change of government.

Assumptions:

1. Inequality is a man-made phenomenon.

2. No person would voluntarily part with what he possesses.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Only assumption I is implicit

To say that inequalities can be removed by government action is to treat them as something people have made and can therefore unmake - assumption I. Assumption II, about no one giving up possessions willingly, is not needed for the claim. Only I is implicit.

Statement: The campaign of 'Keep your city clean' started by the Civil Council did not evoke any response from the citizens.

Assumptions:

1. People do not desire to keep their city clean.

2. The Civil Council has failed in its campaign.

Answer: E

Correct answer: Both I and II are implicit

That the campaign drew no response is itself the failure of the campaign, so assumption II is taken for granted in the way the statement is put; and the disappointment reported presupposes that the citizens were expected to respond and did not, which is assumption I. Both are implicit.

2. Farmers may refrain from using pesticides indiscriminately.

Answer: B

The district administration has issued a circular to make the farmers aware of hazards that indiscriminate use of pesticides poses to ground water and plead them to refrain from the same. So, II is implicit. However, I cannot be assumed from the given statement and so it is not implicit.

2. Some people are tempted to buy a product by the advertisement.

Assumptions:

1. The sale of all the radio sets manufactured in India is known.

2. The manufacturing of no other radio set in India is as large as 'X' brand radio.

Answer: A

Clearly, the comparison could not be made without knowing the sale of all the radio sets. So, I is implicit. The statement mentions only that the sale is largest and nothing is mentioned about the manufacture. So, II is not implicit.

Assumptions:

1. Request for leave can be turned down also.

2. The supervisor has reviewed the work required to be done during the said period.

Advising that leave be refused presupposes that a request for leave can be refused - assumption I - and that the supervisor has looked at the work due in that period, else the advice would rest on nothing. Both are implicit.
