Direction: Each of these questions has a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. Consider the statement and the following assumptions.
-
Statement
In order to replenish the nutrients in the soil, it is important to grow different types of crops every alternate season.
Assumptions
I. A crop can never be grown for the second time in the same field.
II. If a different crop is grown in the successive season, no additional nutrients such as fertilizers are required to be added to the soil.
-
- if Assumption I is implicit
- if Assumption II is implicit
- if either Assumption I or II is implicit
- if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit
Correct Option: D
Assumption I is not implicit as it has no connection with the given statement. The need to grow different types of crops is talked about precisely because there is a likelihood of farmers growing the same crop again and again unless instructed. Further, growing different types of crops is impotent but not sufficient. Therefore, Assumption II is also not valid.
