Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions number I and II.
An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumption and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.
-
Statement:
Most of the private companies have decided against awarding annual increase in the salaries of their employees for the previous year due to the current economic situation.
Assumption:
I. Majority of the employees may leave their job to protest against the decision.
II. These companies may announce hike in salaries next year.
-
- 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.
- if both assumption I and II are implicit.
- if only assumption I is implicit.
Correct Option: D
Were it assumed that the employees might leave, such a decision would not be taken. Hence Assumption I is implicit. Assumption II is not implicit because "next year" is present nowhere in the picture.
