    In each question below a statement is given 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:

    “From tomorrow morning, we will be on an indefinite strike till our demand for salary hike is met.” – a notice from the President of the Garbage Collecting Workers Association of the state  

    Assumptions:

    I. The salary of the garbage collecting workers throughout the country will be increased.

    II. Nobody will listen to the demand of the President of the Garbage Collecting Workers Association of the state.

    A if only I implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B if only II implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C if either I or II implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D if neither I nor II implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E if both I and II implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The garbage collecting workers of the state expect a raise in their salary. Nothing about the salary of the workers throughout the country has been mentioned. Thus, I is not implicit. Since the President, while putting the notice, must have assumed that the authorities would pay attention to it, Therefore  II is also not implicit . Also, we know as a rule that the advertisement / appeal / notice is prepared by the speaker / writer assuming that these will have some effect on the people.
