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:
Courier companies, led by big names are planning 25-30% hike in courier and parcel rates, as an initiative, following 67% hike in on -board courier rates by domestic airlines.
Assumptions:
I. If the courier rates were not increased, the industry would suffer huge losses which would retard its growth, leading to closure of operations.
II. The hike in courier and the parcel rates may be able to reimburse the expenses incurred due to hike in onboard courier rates by the domestic airlines.
-
- 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: B
Assumption I goes into details, therefore, it is not implicit. Again the initiative to be taken is aimed at countering the problem. Hence, II must be implicit.
