Assumptions :
I. The government has enough funds to meet the expenses due to compensation.
II. There may be reduction in incidents of railway accidents in near future.


Option”A” is correct

Clearly, the amount of compensation must have been decided keeping in mind the monetary position of the Government. So, I is implicit. However, nothing can be said about the frequency of railway accidents in future. So, II is not implicit.

12. Statement : Films have become indispensable for the entertainment of people.

Assumptions :
I. Films are the only media of entertainment.
II. People enjoy films.


Option”B” is correct

‘Films are indispensable’ does not mean that they are the only means of entertainment. So, I is not implicit. Clearly, II follows from the statement. So, it is implicit.

13. Statement : Of all the newspapers published in Mumbai, readership of the “Times” is the largest in the Metropolis.

Assumptions :
I. ‘Times’ is not popular in mofussil areas.
II. ‘Times’ has the popular feature of cartoons on burning social and political issues.


Option”D” is correct

Assumptions :
I. People take television to be a means of entertainment only.
II. The educational value of television is not realised properly.


Option”E” is correct

The statement makes the first assumption clear though educational value is not to be ignored. So, I is implicit. That the educational value must not be ignored also shows that educational value is not realised properly. So, II is also implicit.

15. Statement : Children are influenced more by their teachers nowadays.

Assumptions :
I. The children consider teachers as their models.
II. A large amount of children’s time is spent in school.


Option”A” is correct

Clearly, it is because children consider teachers as their model that they are more influenced by them. So, I is implicit. It is not necessary that the children are influenced by teachers because they spend much time in school. So, II is not implicit.

16. Statement : A’s advice to B – “Go to Jammu via Amritsar – the shortest route”.

Assumptions :
I. B wishes to go to Jammu.
II. A gives advice to everybody.


Option”A” is correct

A has advised B the route to Jammu. This means that B wishes to go to Jammu. So, I is implicit. The statement mentions only A’s advice to B. So, II is not implicit.

17. Statement : All existing inequalities can be reduced, if not utterly eradicated, by action of governments or by revolutionary change of government.

Assumptions :
I. Inequality is a man-made phenomenon.
II. No person would voluntarily part with what he possesses.


Option”A” is correct

Since inequality can be reduced, it means that it is not natural but created. So, I is implicit. Nothing is mentioned about people’s response. So, II is not implicit.

18. Statement : The campaign of ‘Keep your city clean’ started by the Civil Council did not evoke any response from the citizens.

Assumptions :
I. People do not desire to keep their city clean.
II. The Civil Council has failed in its campaign.


Option”E” is correct

II. Farmers may refrain from using pesticides indiscriminately.


Option”B” is correct

The district administration has issued a circular to make the farmers aware of hazards that indiscriminate use of pesticides poses to ground water and plead them to refrain from the same. So, II is implicit. However, I cannot be assumed from the given statement and so it is not implicit.

Assumptions :
I. If your product is not good, your spend more on advertisement.
II. Some people are tempted to buy a product by the advertisement.

Since the statement holds the product of company X more superior in quality than that of Y which spends more on advertisement, so I is not implicit. According to the statement, the product of company Y is more known because of more advertisement. So, II is implicit.

    The shrunken size is a big deal but let’s be honest It’s nothing compared to the biggest news of the link day which is that Rolex made one of these 36mm Explorers in two-tone metal steel and gold. You simply could not have drawn up a watch more in line with my horological sensibilities. When the news broke yesterday morning and I saw the first image of the two-tone I let out an audible gasp. This was at 600 AM and I may or may not have awakened both my wife and my dog.
