Statement And Assumption - Study Mode

[#206] Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by three conclusions. Give answer : Statement : Delink degrees with jobs. Then, boys will think twice before joining colleges. Assumptions : I. Boys join college education for getting jobs. II. A degree is of no use for getting a job. III. Girls do not try for jobs.
Correct Answer

(A) Only I is implicit

Explanation

Solution: The statement mentions that if the degrees have no connection with jobs, boys will consider and reconsider whether they should join college. So, I is implicit. In the present system, degrees are not delinked with jobs. This means that job is not available without degrees. So, II is not implicit. Nothing about the girls is mentioned in the statement. So, III is also not implicit.

[#207] Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by three conclusions. Give answer : Statement : In spite of the heavy rains the traffic has not been disrupted this year. Assumptions : I. The traffic is disrupted in rainy seasons only. II. Rains do not affect traffic movement. III. Adequate precautions were taken for traffic management during rainy season.
Correct Answer

(C) Only III is implicit

Explanation

Solution: The statement expresses surprise at the traffic situation remaining normal even after rains. This means that rains affect traffic. So, II is not implicit. But this does not mean that only rains affect traffic. So, I is also not implicit. Since the traffic was not affected during rains as expected, so III is implicit.

[#208] Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by three conclusions. Give answer : Statement : The company has decided to increase the price of all its products to tackle the precarious financial position. Assumptions : I. The company may be able to wipe out the entire losses incurred earlier by this decision. II. The buyers may continue to buy its products even after the increase. III. The company has adequate resources to continue production for few more months.
Correct Answer

(A) Only I and III are implicit

Explanation

Solution: It is mentioned that the company has taken the decision to make up for the financial deficit. So, I is implicit. The response of the buyers to the increased prices cannot be deduced from the statement. So, II is not implicit. Since the company seeks to improve its financial position by increasing the prices of its products, so III is also implicit.

[#209] Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by three conclusions. Give answer : Statement : In order to reduce the gap between income and expenditure, the company has decided to increase the price of its product from next month. Assumptions : I. The rate will remain more or less same after the increase. II. The expenditure will more or less remain the same in near future. III. The rival companies will also increase the price of the similar product.
Correct Answer

Only I and II are implicit

Explanation

Solution: Clearly, the company intends to reduce the gap between income and expenditure by increasing the price of its product i.e. by keeping the expenditure unaltered and increasing the income only. So, II is implicit while I is not. However, the rival companies may or may not follow the same pursuit. So, III is not implicit.

[#210] Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by three conclusions. Give answer : Statement : 'Several labour and industrial courts in this State have no proper premises. Vacancies of judges and stenos are kept pending.' - A statement of a retired judge of State X. Assumptions: I. Adequate number of staff and judges helps in the smooth functioning of the industrial and labour courts. II. The State is not bothered about the condition of the labour and industrial courts. III. Physical facilities of an office help in increasing efficiency of its employees.
Correct Answer

(D) All I, II and III are implicit

Explanation

Solution: The statement expresses grave concern over the lack of proper premises and inadequate staff in labour and industrial courts. This implies that adequate staff is a must to serve the purpose of these courts and a proper office only can ensure their smooth functioning. So, both I and III are implicit. The lack of facilities to the courts also indicates the state's negligent attitude to the condition of the courts. So, II is also implicit.
