Directions (51-60): In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer :

51. Statement : Of all the radio sets manufactured in India, the ‘X’ brand has the largest sale.

Assumptions :
I. The sale of all the radio sets manufactured in India is known.
II. The manufacturing of no other radio set in India is as large as ‘X’ brand radio.


Option”A” is correct

Clearly, the comparison could not be made without knowing the sale of all the radio sets. So, I is implicit. The statement mentions only that the sale is largest and nothing is mentioned about the manufacture. So, II is not implicit.

52. Statement : “You should not grant him leave in this week due to exigency of work.” – A supervisor advises the administrative officer.

Assumptions :
I. Request for leave can be turned down also.
II. The supervisor has reviewed the work required to be done during the said period.


Option”E” is correct

The advice is given to turn down the request for leave. So, I is implicit. The mention of the ‘exigency of work’ makes II implicit

53. The words ‘Like a mad man’ show that either a person is really mad or he is not mad but acted like mad. So, either I or II is implicit.


Option”C” is correct

The words ‘Like a mad man’ show that either a person is really mad or he is not mad but acted like mad. So, either I or II is implicit.

54. Statement : The first step in treating addicts is to re-establish their lost ties, for which a continuous personal attention should be paid to the addicts under treatment.

Assumptions :
I. Addicts under treatment respond better when shown personal interest.
II. Addiction and strained relationships are intimately connected.


Option”E” is correct

Clearly, treatment of addiction requires personal attention as the first step. So, I is implicit. Also, since intimacy and personal attention are required to treat addicts, it implies that addiction arises out of frustration due to strained relationships. So, II is also implicit.

55. Statement : Beware of dogs, our dogs do not bark, but they are trained to distinguish between genuine guests and intruders.

Assumptions :
I. Barking dogs bite rarely.
II. Our dogs could be dangerous for intruders.


Option”B” is correct

The statement clearly warns the visitors to beware of dogs as they are trained to welcome the guests and intruders differently. So, II is implicit. I is vague and hence, it is not implicit.

56. Statement : Cases of food poisoning due to consumption of liquor are increasing in rural areas.

Assumptions :
I. Percentage of people consuming liquor is more in rural areas.
II. There are many unauthorized spurious liquor shops in the rural areas.


Option”B” is correct

The statement talks of number of cases of food poisoning due to consumption of liquor and not of the number of cases consuming liquor. So, I is not implicit. Besides, the statement indicates that people in rural areas are getting spurious or low-grade liquor and no check is being kept on shops selling liquor there. So, II is implicit.

57. Statement : Lack of stimulation in the first four or five years of life can have adverse consequences.

Assumptions :
I. A great part of the development of observed intelligence occurs in the earliest years of life.
II. 50 percent of the measurable intelligence at age of 17 is already predictable by the age of four.


Option”A” is correct

The lacking in first four or five years can be adverse because it is the main period of development. So, I is implicit. Since nothing is mentioned about the predictability of intelligence, II is not implicit.

58. Statement : The X-Airlines has decided to increase the passenger fare by 15 percent with immediate effect.

Assumptions :
I. The demand for seats of X-Airlines may remain unchanged even after the hike of fare.
II. Other airline companies may also hike the passenger fares.


Option”A” is correct

Clearly, such decisions are taken only after making sure that it will not affect the company’s business adversely. So, I is implicit. However, the impact of this increase on other airlines cannot be ascertained. So, II is not implicit.

59. Statement : Shalini made an application to the bank for a loan of Rs. 1,80,000 by mortgaging her house to the bank and promised to repay it within five years.

Assumptions :
I. The bank has a practice of granting loans for Rs. 1,00,000 and above.
II. The bank accepts house as collateral security against such loans.


Option”E” is correct

The fact that Shalini has applied for a loan of Rs. 1,80,000 implies that the bank can grant a loan above Rs. 1,00,000. So, I is implicit. II also follows directly from the statement and so is implicit.

60. Statement : Many historians have done more harm than good by distorting truth.

Assumptions :
I. People believe what is reported by the historians.
II. Historians are seldom expected to depict the truth.


Option”A” is correct

The fact that historians have done harm by distorting truth, means that people believe what is reported by the historians. So, I is implicit. II does not follow from the statement and so is not 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.
