1. Assumption is always Indefinite & Positive.

2. Some words like only, each, any, every, all, question-indicating words (why, these,
what), answer-indicating words (therefor), definitely, but, certainly, exist in the
assumption. That assumption will always be explicit (False).

3. Any assumption that is conveying the message of advertisement, notice, appeal,

that assumption will always be implicit (True).
1. Whenever a notice is issued, it is assumed that the
notice will have the desired effect.

2. Whenever something is advertised, it is assumed

that it will be read by the people for whom it is meant.

3. If any assumption contains words like suggestion,

order, request, that will always be implicit (True).
Restatement is never implicit.
1. If any assumption is talking about the past or
future, that assumption will always be explicit.
(False).

2. Any assumption that is talking about social

welfare (positive), government policies, that
assumption will always be implicit. (True).

3. Comparison is always wrong.

Q. (1)
Statement: Liquid soap should be used in place of
soap bars to wash hands.

Assumption: Soap bars are harsher to the skin

than liquid soaps.
1.

Solution: Assumption is explicit

Explanation:
The statement suggests that liquid soap should be preferred over
soap bars for handwashing. The assumption provided, stating that
soap bars are harsher to the skin than liquid soaps, directly
supports the recommendation in the statement. It implies a
reason behind the preference for liquid soap over soap bars.

This assumption is explicit because it directly builds upon the

statement and provides a reason for the suggested action.

Therefore, the assumption is explicit.

Q. (2)
Statement: Electric vehicles produce less air
pollutants.

Assumption: Electric vehicles will be the only means of

transportation in the future.
2.

Solution: Assumption is explicit

Explanation:
The statement suggests that electric vehicles produce fewer air pollutants compared to
other means of transportation. The assumption provided, stating that electric vehicles
will be the only means of transportation in the future, directly follows from the
statement. It implies a future scenario where electric vehicles dominate the
transportation sector.

This assumption is explicit because it directly builds upon the statement and presents a
future scenario based on the information provided.

Therefore, the assumption is explicit.

Q. (3)
Statement: Warning - "Cellphone use prohibited
beyond this point."
Assumption: This warning is not necessary.
3.

Solution: Assumption is implicit

Explanation:
The statement provides a warning indicating that cellphone use is prohibited
beyond a certain point.
The assumption that this warning is not necessary implies that there might be no
need for such a restriction or that people are expected to comply without the need
for a warning.

This assumption is implicit because it questions the necessity of the warning

provided in the statement, suggesting that there may be no clear reason or
justification for it.

Therefore, the assumption is implicit.

Q. (4)
Statement: Seats allocated for only physically
disabled people.
Assumption: Only females who are physically
disabled can occupy such seats.

(A) Only assumption I is implicit

(B) Only assumption II is implicit
(C) Either I or II is implicit
(D) Neither I nor II is implicit
(E) Both I and II are implicit
4.

Solution: Assumption is explicit

Explanation:
The statement specifies that seats are allocated only for physically disabled people.

The assumption provided, stating that only females who are physically disabled can
occupy such seats, directly follows from the statement.

It further clarifies who can utilize the allocated seats by specifying the gender and the
condition (physically disabled) required for occupancy.

Therefore, the assumption is explicit as it directly relates to and clarifies the conditions
mentioned in the statement.
Q. (5)
Statement: Government has asked the financial
institutions to lower their interest rate for agricultural
loans.
Assumptions:
1. This will increase per hectare productivity in the future.
2. This move will help farmers in paying less interest
amount and thus their profits may increase.

(A) Only assumption I is implicit

(B) Only assumption II is implicit
(C) Either I or II is implicit
(D) Neither I nor II is implicit
(E) Both I and II are implicit
5.

Answer: (B) Only assumption II is implicit

Explanation:
The statement suggests that the government's action of lowering interest rates for
agricultural loans is intended to benefit farmers. Assumption II, stating that this
move will help farmers pay less interest and potentially increase their profits, aligns
with the statement.

Assumption I, suggesting that lowering interest rates will increase per hectare
productivity in the future, is not directly implied by the statement. While it's possible
that lower interest rates could lead to increased productivity indirectly, the
statement does not explicitly mention productivity as the intended outcome of the
government's action.

Therefore, only assumption II is implicit.

Q. (6)
Statement: If he is smart, he will crack the
interview.
Assumption:
1. To crack an interview, smartness is required.
2. He will definitely crack the interview.

(A) Only assumption I is implicit

(B) Only assumption II is implicit
(C) Either I or II is implicit
(D) Neither I nor II is implicit
(E) Both I and II are implicit
6.

Answer: (A) Only assumption I is implicit

Explanation:
The statement establishes a conditional relationship between being smart and
cracking the interview. It suggests that smartness is a necessary condition for
cracking the interview, but it doesn't guarantee success. Therefore, assumption I,
stating that smartness is required to crack the interview, aligns with the statement.

Assumption II, stating that he will definitely crack the interview, goes beyond the
information provided in the statement. The statement only indicates a possibility
based on being smart, but it doesn't ensure a definite outcome.

Therefore, only assumption I is implicit.

Q. (7)
Statement: Sunlight is a good source of vitamin
D.
Assumption:
1. Sun is the only source of vitamin D.
2. Vitamin D is obtained in very small amounts
from the sun.

(A) Only assumption I is implicit

(B) Only assumption II is implicit
(C) Either I or II is implicit
(D) Neither I nor II is implicit
(E) Both I and II are implicit
7.
Answer: (D) Neither I nor II is implicit

Explanation:
The statement mentions sunlight as a good source of vitamin D, but it doesn't
imply that sunlight is the only source of vitamin D. Assumption I, stating that the
sun is the only source, goes beyond the information provided in the statement.

Similarly, the statement doesn't quantify the amount of vitamin D obtained from
sunlight, so assumption II, regarding the amount obtained, is also not implicit.

Therefore, neither assumption I nor II is implicit.

Q. (8)
Statement: If Ram studies hard, he will get 1st Rank.
Assumption:
1. Ram will study hard.
2. Ram will not study hard.

(A) Only assumption I is implicit

(B) Only assumption II is implicit
(C) Either I or II is implicit
(D) Neither I nor II is implicit
(E) Both I and II are implicit
8.

Answer: (C) Either I or II is implicit

Explanation:
The statement establishes a conditional relationship between Ram's hard work and
achieving the 1st rank. It doesn't provide information about whether Ram will indeed
study hard or not. Both assumptions are plausible based on different contexts:

- If Ram desires to achieve the 1st rank, it is reasonable to assume that he will study
hard (Assumption I).
- Conversely, if Ram is not motivated or doesn't put in the effort, he may not study
hard, thus not achieving the 1st rank (Assumption II).

Therefore, either assumption I or II could be implicit depending on Ram's personal

motivation or circumstances.
Q. (9)
Statement: To regain the market share, Company X has
decided to launch new products in the market.
Assumption:
1. Company X is incurring heavy losses.
2. There are many competitors in the market.

(A) Only assumption I is implicit

(B) Only assumption II is implicit
(C) Either I or II is implicit
(D) Neither I nor II is implicit
(E) Both I and II are implicit
9. Answer: (A) Only assumption I is implicit

Explanation:
The statement mentions that Company X has decided to launch
new products to regain market share. This suggests that the
company might be facing challenges in terms of market share.
However, it doesn't necessarily imply heavy losses. Therefore,
assumption I is implicit as it aligns with the statement by
indicating a possible reason behind the decision.

Assumption II, regarding the presence of many competitors, is

not necessarily implied by the statement. While it's common for
companies to face competition in the market, the statement
doesn't specifically mention the number of competitors or their
impact on Company X's decision. Hence, assumption II is not
implicit.
Q. 10
Statement: Like a mad man I decided to follow him.
Assumptions:
1. I am a mad man.
2. I am not a mad man.

(A) Only assumption I is implicit

(B) Only assumption II is implicit
(C) Either I or II is implicit
(D) Neither I nor II is implicit
(E) Both I and II are implicit
10.
Sol:

The correct option is C: Either I or II is implicit. The words 'Like a

mad man' show that either a person is really mad or he is not
mad but acted like mad. So, either I or II is implicit.
Q. 11
Statement: Read the Notice before entering the
club.
Assumptions:
1. People are literate.
2. The club is not for blind persons.

(A) Only assumption I is implicit

(B) Only assumption II is implicit
(C) Either I or II is implicit
(D) Neither I nor II is implicit
(E) Both I and II are implicit
11.
Sol:

The notice is meant for the people to read. So, it is assumed

that the people are literate and 'I' is implicit. Since the notice is
to be read by everyone entering the club, so it is assumed that
no blind person comes to the club. Thus, II is implicit.
