Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumption(s) is/are implicit in the statement.
-
Statement
The municipal authority blocked movement of traffic in and around the temple on the main festivals day.
Assumptions
I. Very large number of devotees may visit the temple on the main festival day.
II. People travelling to the areas near the temple may postpone their journey by a day unless they have very urgent work in that area.
-
- if only Assumption I is implicit
- if only Assumption II is implicit
- if either Assumption I or II is implicit
- if both Assumption I and II are implicit
Correct Option: D
Assumption I is implicit as the municipal corporation takes this action in expectation of large number of devotees. Assumption II is also valid because whenever we plan something, we assume that conditions will be favourable enough.
