Directions (21-30): In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer :

21. Statement : Because of the large number of potholes in road X, reaching airport in time has become difficult.

Assumptions :
I. Reaching airport in time may not be always necessary.
II. There is no other convenient road to the airport.


Option”B” is correct

The statement presents the issue of ‘not reaching airport in time’ as a problem. This means that reaching airport in time is necessary. So, I is not implicit. Besides, it is mentioned that reaching airport in time has become difficult due to large number of potholes in road X. This implies that road X is the only possible way. So, II is implicit.

22. Statement : Safety and health practices in many Indian companies are well below the international standards.

Assumptions :
I. International standards of health and safety are ideal and unrealistic.
II. Indian organizations do not consider safety and health management as their prime social responsibility.


Option”B” is correct

The statement talks about the safety and health practices in Indian companies being far below international standards. It is clearly a criticism of Indian organizations not paying considerable attention to these aspects. So, II is implicit. The international standards demand perfection and are, in no way, non-achievable. So, I is not implicit.

23. Statement : Greater public participation results in good civic governance. – Statement of Municipal Commissioner of City A.

Assumptions :
I. The municipal office is not competent to effect good civic administration.
II. Good civic governance is a matter of collective will and effort of the people and administration.


Option”B” is correct

The statement stresses on the fact that though civic governance is the task of the municipal body, but all the tasks done come out to be more fruitful if the general public lends a helping hand in the same. So, only II is implicit.

24. Statement : The regulatory authority has set up a review committee to find out the reasons for unstable stock prices.

Assumptions :
I. The investors may regain confidence in stock market by this decision.
II. The review committee has the expertise to find out the causes for volatility in the stock market.


Option”E” is correct

Clearly, I mentions the aim for which the step talked about in the statement, has been undertaken while II mentions the essential requirement for it. So, both I and II are implicit.

25. Statement : Please note that the company will provide accommodation to only outside candidates if selected.’ – A condition in an advertisement.

Assumptions :
I. The local candidates would be having some other arrangement for their stay.
II. The company plans to select only local candidates.


Option”A” is correct

The statement mentions that the company intends to provide accommodation only to outside candidates. This means that local candidates would have to arrange accommodation on their own and that the company may select local as well as outside candidates. Thus, only I is implicit.

26. Statement : “As there is a great demand, every person seeking tickets of the programme will be given only five tickets.”

Assumptions :
I. The organizers are not keen on selling the tickets.
II. No one is interested in getting more than five tickets.


Option”D” is correct

Clearly, the organisers are adopting this policy not to reduce the sale but to cope up with great demand so that everyone can get the ticket. So, I is not implicit. Also, due to great demand, the maximum number of tickets one person can get has been reduced to five. So, II is also not implicit.

27. Statement : “Computer education should start at schools itself.”

Assumptions :
I. Learning computers is easy.
II. Computer education fetches jobs easily.


Option”A” is correct

Clearly, computer education can be started at the school level only if it is easy. So, I is implicit. In the statement, nothing is mentioned about the link between jobs and computer education. So, II is not implicit.

28. Statement : If he is intelligent, he will pass the examination.

Assumptions :
I. To pass, he must be intelligent.
II. He will pass the examination.


Option”A” is correct

The statement mentions that he will pass if he is intelligent. So, I is implicit. Further, this means that it is not necessary that he will pass. So, II is not implicit.

29. Statement : Today I must satisfy myself only by looking at a pink headed duck in an encyclopedia.

Assumptions :
I. Pink headed ducks are as good as extinct now.
II. People refer to encyclopedia to know only about things which do not exist now.


Option”A” is correct

Since the narrator talks of satisfying himself by just looking at a picture in encyclopaedia, it means that pink headed ducks are not to be seen alive. So, I is implicit. But II does not follow from the statement and is not implicit.

30. Statement : The organization should promote employees on the basis of merit alone and not on the basis of length of service or seniority.

Assumptions :
I. Length of service or seniority does not alone reflect merit of an employee.
II. It is possible to determine and measure merit of an employee.


Option”E” is correct

The statement stresses on the need to award promotion to a person who has been displaying remarkable talent and performing extraordinarily for the organisation rather than the one who has been working steadily for the organisation since long. Thus, length of service does not alone prove a man worthy. His talent and his performance are the criteria to be considered. So, both I and II are 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.
