Direction: In each of the questions 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 assumptions and decide which of the assumption(s) is/are implicit in the statement.
-
Statement
Postal rates have been increased to meet the deficit.
Assumptions .
I. The present rates are very low.
II. If the rates are not increased, the deficit cannot be met.
-
- if only Assumptions I is implicit
- if only Assumptions II is implicit
- if either I or II is implicit
- if either I nor II is implicit
Correct Option: D
On the basic of statement, it is not certain that present rates are very low. We cannot say that increasing the rates is the only way to meet the deficit. Hence, none of the assumptions is implicit.
