Statement And Assumption - Study Mode
[#231] Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by three conclusions. Give answer : Statement : During pre-harvest kharif season, the government has decided to release vast quantity of food grains from FCI. Assumptions : I. There may be a shortage of food grains in the market during this season. II. The kharif crop may be able to replenish the stock of FCI. III. There may be a demand from the farmers to procure kharif crop immediately after harvest.
Correct Answer
(A) All are implicit
Explanation
Solution: Assumptions I and II provide the most probable reasons for the step taken by the government. So, both I and II are implicit. Since the foodgrains have been released during pre-harvest kharif season, it is evident that the next kharif crop would replenish the stock. So, III is also implicit.
[#232] Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by three conclusions. Give answer : Statement : 'The simplest and the most cost-effective way to upgrade your home. Exchange your old furniture and get 25% to 33% off on the new furniture.' - An advertisement of a furniture company. Assumptions : I. Nowadays, there is no demand for furniture products unless some attractive scheme is offered. II. Some customers always desire to have best quality and do not bother either for cost or for convenience. III. Some customers want to keep their home up-to-date with reasonable cost and with less hassles.
Correct Answer
(C) Only III is implicit
Explanation
Solution: The advertisement has put forward an exchange offer does not imply that there is no demand for furniture products without an offer. So, I is not implicit. Since the advertisement highlights both 'simplest' and 'cost-effective', so II is not implicit. Further, the advertisement mentions that people can buy new furniture at discounted price without the hassles of disposing off the old one. Hence, only III is implicit.
