Directions (41-50): In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer :

41. Statement : Please do not use lift while going down – an instruction on the top floor of a five-storey building.

Assumptions :
I. While going down, the lift is unable to carry any load.
II. Provision of lift is a matter of facility and not of right.


Option”B” is correct

The statement requests people not to use lift while moving down. This implies that the lift may be used to move up and the request has been made so that more people can use the lift for ascending which would otherwise cause more physical stress than going down the stairs. So, only II is implicit.

42. Statement : “I have not received telephone bills for nine months inspite of several complaints” – A telephone customer’s letter to the editor of a daily

Assumptions :
I. Every customer has a right to get bills regularly from the telephone company.
II. The customer’s complaints point to defect in the services which are expected to be corrected.


Option”E” is correct

The customer’s eagerness to get the bills makes I implicit. Besides, the customer has written to the editor to bring the malfunctioning of the department to public notice. So, II is also implicit.

43. Statement : “This drink can be had either as it is, or after adding ice to it.” – An advertisement.

Assumptions :
I. People differ in their preferences.
II. Some people will get attracted to the drink as it can be had as it is.


Option”E” is correct

The advertisement tells the different ways in which the drink can be had. This means that different people prefer to have it in a different way and that some people would prefer it only because it can be taken in a particular manner. So, both I and II are implicit.

44. Statement : Government has permitted unaided colleges to increase their fees.

Assumptions :
I. Unaided colleges are in financial difficulties.
II. Aided colleges do not need to increase fees.


Option”A” is correct

Unaided colleges have been allowed to increase their fees. This means that they are in financial difficulties. So, I is implicit. Nothing is mentioned about the aided colleges. So, II is not implicit.

45. Statement : Be humble even after being victorious.

Assumptions :
I. Many people are humble after being victorious.
II. Generally people are not humble.


Option”B” is correct

Clearly, nothing is mentioned about the nature of the people. So, I is not implicit. Also, the statement gives an advice of being humble even after being victorious. This means that generally people are not humble. So, II is implicit.

46. Statement : You know that your suit is excellent when people ask about your tailor who tailored the suit.

Assumptions :
I. People do not ask about your tailor if your suit is not good.
II. The people want to know the criterion of an excellent suit.


Option”A” is correct

The statement mentions that if the people ask about the tailor, your suit is good. This means that people ask only in the situation when the thing is good. So, I is implicit. The criteria of an excellent suit is not mentioned. So, II is not implicit.

47. Statement : His recent investment in the shares of Company A is only a gamble.

Assumptions :
I. He may incur loss on his investment.
II. He may gain from his investment.


Option”C” is correct
The use of the word ‘gamble’ indicates that he may either gain or lose in the deal.

48. Statement : Why don’t you go to the court if the employer does not pay you the Provident Fund contribution?

Assumptions :
I. Courts can intervene in matters of dispute between employer and employees.
II. It is obligatory for the employer to pay the Provident Fund contribution to the employees.


Option”E” is correct

Clearly, the statement encourages one to go to court to get his Provident Fund from his employer. This implies that the issue comes under the jurisdiction of courts and that it is the right of the employee to claim his Provident Fund. So, both I and II are implicit.

49. Statement : ‘Double your money in five months.’ – An advertisement.

Assumptions :
I. The assurance is not genuine.
II. People want their money to grow.


Option”B” is correct

The truth or falsity of the promise made in the statement cannot be judged. So, I is not implicit. Since the concerned firm advertises with the assurance that money can be doubled quickly by investing with it, so II is implicit.

50. Statement : The education of a student at collegiate level, not taking into account maintenance expenses, costs four hundred rupees a year. Collegiate education is thus drawing heavily upon the national resources of an impoverished community. So college education should be restricted to a brilliant few.

Assumptions :
I. Our resources are very limited.
II. Only a few students should be admitted to the colleges.


Option”E” is correct

The use of the words ‘impoverished community’ in the statement makes I implicit while the phrase ‘college education should be restricted to a brilliant few’ makes II 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.
