11.

Statement : Pure ghee is good for health.

Assumption I : All healthy people take ghee.
Assumption II : Sweets with pure ghee are good for health.

Exam Year(s)

MPPSC State Service - 2022, MPPSC Forest Service - 2022,

Answer: D

Neither assumption I nor II is implicit.

Saying that pure ghee is good for health does not assume that all healthy people take ghee: people can be healthy for many other reasons, so assumption I is not implied.

Nor does it assume that sweets made with pure ghee are good for health. Sweets contain sugar and other ingredients, and the statement is about ghee alone, so assumption II extends it to something it does not cover.

Statement :

"The Government should ban private vehicles in city centers to reduce pollution."

Which of the following is an implicit assumption ?

Exam Year(s)

Tripura Public Service Commission - 2026,

Answer: B

The implicit assumption is Private vehicles are the main cause of city pollution.

An assumption is something the speaker must take for granted for the recommendation to make sense. Banning private vehicles to reduce pollution only makes sense if those vehicles are a major source of the pollution in city centres, which is what the key's option expresses.

The statement says nothing about whether public transport can carry everyone, does not need industries to be pollution-free, and does not depend on whether people will oppose the ban, so A, C and D are not assumptions it rests on.
