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 assumptions is implicit in the statement.
-
Statement:
In a bid to discourage cattle owners from letting their animals loose on the roads the Municipal Corporation of city X has enhanced the fine from Rs 4000 to 5000.
Assumptions:
I. Increase in fine may decrease the stray cattle menace.
II. The subsequent fine is quite a large sum and it should prompt the owner to get his cattle back as early as possible.
-
- if only assumption I is implicit.
- if only assumption II is implicit.
- if either I or II is implicit.
- if neither I nor II is implicit.
- if both I and II are implicit.
- if only assumption I is implicit.
Correct Option: A
I is implicit because this is the motive behind increasing the fine. II is not implicit because of the second part of the statement.
