Question

Directions: In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumption numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumption and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

Statement:

"Quit smoking before it destroys you." — A notice issued in public interest by XYZ department.

Assumptions:

I. People fear being destroyed

II. Smoking breaks the smoker's family.

1. If only assumption I is implicit
2. If only assumption II is implicit
3. If either I or II is implicit
4. If neither I nor II is implicit
5. If both I and II is implicit

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : If only assumption I is implicit

The notice given by the XYZ department clearly mentions the ill effect of smoking. The motive behind mentioning the ill effect must be to restrict

smokers from smoking. Now, how can the motive be fulfilled? Obviously, I must be assumed. II is too specific, Hence II is not implicit.

Hence, Only assumption I is implicit.
