Give answer (b) If only assumption 2 is implicit.
Give answer (c) If either assumption 1 or 2 is implicit.
Give answer (d) If neither assumption 1 nor 2 is implicit.
Give answer (e) If both assumptions 1 and 2 are implicit.
4) Statement: “if you want to give any advertisement, give it in the newspaper A.” – X tells Y.
Assumptions: 1) Y wants to publicize his products.
2) Newspaper A has a wide circulation.
Answer: b.
Explanation: The word ‘If’ in the statement shows that Y may or may not want to publicise his products. So, 1 is not implicit. X advised that advertisements be given in newspaper A. This means that A will help advertise better i.e. it has wider circulation. So, 2 is implicit.
5) Statement: Patient’s condition would improve after this operation.
Assumptions: 1) The patient can be operated upon in this condition.
2) The patient can’t be operated upon in this condition.
Answer: a
Explanation: It is very much implied in the statement that the patient is in a position to be operated upon. Therefore, assumption 1 is implicit. But, assumption 2 is not implicit as it is just opposite to assumption 1.
6) Statement: The government has decided to allow the shopping complexes to remain open till midnight to reduce crowding of shoppers in these complexes during the weekends.
Assumptions: 1) The sales of these shopping complexes may increase generating revenue for the govt.
2) People may still prefer to shop during the weekends.
Answer: d.
Explanation: The objective of Govt. behind taking this decision is to facilitate people to shop at their leisure times during the late evening hours and not to increase its revenue. Hence, 1 is not implicit. No such information like people are interested to shop during only weekends. So, 2 is also not implicit.
