Direction: In each question below is given a statement 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 assumption(s) is/are implicit in the statement.
-
Statement
Gambling though lotteries is banned by the central Government in all the states with immediate effect.
Assumptions
I. This may save innocent citizens from getting cheated of their hard earned money.
II. The citizens may not gamble in any other way, if the lotteries are banned.
-
- if only assumption I is implicit
- if only assumption II is implicit
- if either Assumption I or II is implicit
- if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit
Correct Option: A
It is a fact that Government's moves are generally aimed at protecting the interests of the masses. Hence, I implicit, II is invalid because "any other way" suggests that there might be other means of gambling which have not been considered detrimental for the people.
