Statement - Assumptions Questions and Answers

Important Instructions
Direction for [ Question No: 71 To 80 ] :

In each question below is given a statement followed by three assumptions numbered I, II and III. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions, decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement and choose your answer accordingly.

71.

Statement: Bill Clinton is the second democrat to be re-elected as President of America, the other being the legendary Roosevelt.

Assumptions:

1. Clinton has the same qualities that Roosevelt had.

2. The majority of people in America have faith in Clinton.

3. The election campaign of Clinton's rivals was not impressive

Answer: B

The statement simply mentions that Clinton and Roosevelt were the only two persons who were re-elected as President of America. But this does not imply that they were liked by the public for the same reasons or qualities. So, I is not implicit. However, it is clear that that majority of people adore Clinton. So, II is implicit. Nothing about the reasons of Clinton's victory or the election campaign of Clinton's rivals can be assumed from the given statement. So, III is not implicit.

Statement: "If you are a mechanical engineer, we want you as our supervisor." - An advertisement by Company X.

Assumptions:

1. Mechanical engineers are expected to be better performers by Company X.

Statement: The government has decided to raise the retirement age of its employees from 58 to 60 years.
Assumptions: I. Employees are fit to work until the age of 60. II. There would otherwise be a shortage of experienced staff. III. No employee will oppose the decision.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Only I is implicit

The decision would be incoherent unless the government supposed employees capable of working to 60, so I is implicit.

II is a plausible motive but nothing in the statement assumes it, and III is not required at all - a government may act in the expectation of opposition.

Assumptions:

1. The aim of most people is just to acquire more wealth.

Statement: The civic authority has decided that all the factories located inside the city limits be shifted outside to reduce the level of environmental pollution in the city.

1. The pollution level in the city in future may reduce after these factories are shifted outside the city limit.

2. Enough usable land is available outside the city limit for these factories.

3. Many of these factories may shift to some other smaller towns to remain profitable.

Answer: B

I directly follows from the statement and so is implicit.

Nothing can be assumed as to what strategy would the factory owners adopt in future. So, III is not implicit.

Assumptions:

1. The authorities will now appoint only qualified teachers.

2. Only qualified people will apply for the teaching post.

3. SCTE decides all the norms of educational qualifications for teaching faculty.

Statement: An advertisement: Now you can own a new car in just Rs. 1,999 per month.

Assumptions:

1. People aspire for owning a car.

2. People do not want to buy used cars.

3. Most people can afford to pay Rs. 1,999 per month for a new car.

Answer: D

The advertisement has been given seeing the demand for cars. So, I is implicit. The advertisement stresses on 'owning a new car'. This implies that people would prefer to buy a new car rather than a used one, provided it suits their budget. So, II is implicit. The words 'just Rs. 1,999 per month' in the statement make III implicit.
