Direction: Each of these questions has a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. Consider the statement and the following assumptions.
-
Statement
If farmers want to improve their yield, they must use organic fertilizers in place of chemical fertilizers
Assumptions
I. Chemical fertilizer have certain ill effects on health.
II. Chemical fertilizers do not produce as much yield as the organic fertilizers.
-
- if only Assumption I is implicit
- if only Assumption II is implicit
- if either Assumption I or II is implit
- if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit
Correct Option: B
Assumption I is invalid as the given statement does not focus on health. The sentence 'if farmers want to improve their yield' proves that Assumption II is hidden in the given statement because the word 'improve' itself hints towards the increase of production. Hence, Assumption II implicit.
