Question - Statements Questions and Answers

Q: Statement: The police in India have to cope with tremendous stress and strain while having to maintain security and order. Assumptions: I. In other countries, the police do not have to under go stress and strain while doing their duty. II. The police are expected to do their duties without stress or strain.

Correct answer: If only assumption II is inplicitRemarking that the police have to cope with stress implies that this is a burden beyond what the duty properly requires - that is, that it would be reasonable for them to do the work without it, which is assumption II. Assumption I brings in the police of other countries, a comparison the statement neither makes nor needs.

Q: Statement: I am surprised to find that every student is studying only English but not his or her mother tongue. Assumptions: I. It is a good sign that everybody is studying only English. II. It is a bad sign that nobody is studying his or her mother tongue.

Correct answer: if either I or II is implicit.The speaker reports being surprised, and surprise of this kind carries a judgement - but the sentence does not say which way. Read one way it is approval that English is universal; read the other it is regret that the mother tongue is neglected. One of the two evaluations must lie behind the remark, and the statement does not settle which, so the answer is that either is implicit.

Q: In the question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Give answer (A) If only I follows (B) If only II follows (C) If either I or II follows (D) If neither I nor II follows (E) If both I and II follow. Statement - Each man makes his own world; world is neither black nor white. Conclusions - I. This world is black for some people. II. This world is white for some people.

Correct answer: Both I and II followThe two halves of the statement work together: the world is not black or white in itself, and each man makes his own. It follows that what any individual finds is his own making, so for some it is black and for others white - which is what the two conclusions say between them. Neither could be drawn from the first clause alone; it is the second that supplies them.
