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 assumptions is implicit in the statement.
-
Statement:
"Honourable citizen of state, 'X' please rise and rat on your power- thrieving neighbour. You could win a motorcycle, a colour TV set or a washing machine." __ UPPCL
Assumptions:
I. In order to get these gadgets, people of state 'X' will put, even their good relation with the neighbour on stake, and inform the UPPCL, if their neighbor indulges in power - thieving.
II. Cost on initiative to encourage citizen will be less than the increase in the revenue through such incentives.
-
- if only assumption I is implicit.
- if only assumption II is implicit.
- if either I or II is implicit.
- if neither I nor II is implicit
- if both I and II are implicit.
- if only assumption I is implicit.
Correct Option: E
I is an assumption because the statement uses the gadgets as an allurement. II is obvious. Note that the initiative is aimed at improving the financial condition of the company by reducing theft. Hence, the company must be assuming II.
