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:
"God bless all the parents whose children passed away in the Yamuna waters." - A student.
Assumptions:
I. The student believes in God.
II. Some children have died by drowning.
-
- 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: A
I is implicit: an atheist would not invoke god for blessings. II is not an assumption but a re-statement: "passed away in the Yamuna waters" itself means "died by drowning in the Yamuna."
