Correct Answer:
Explanation:
I is true on humaterian Ground and II on economic ground.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Only I and II are strong. Clearly, both I and II hold strong, as they provide very convincing reasons, for a single tax system would help get rid of multifarious taxes on a product. Besides, the idea of imitation of other countries in the implementation of a certain policy holds no relevance. So, argument III does not hold strong.
Correct Answer: None is strong
Explanation:
Clearly, the government can pool up resources to run such institutes, if that can benefit the citizens. So, I does not hold strong. II does not provide any convincing reason. Also, it is not obligatory that government control over the institute would ensure better education than that at present. So, both III and IV also do not hold.
Correct Answer: All are implicit
Explanation:
Anybody advises anyone with the assumption that his advice will get proper attention from the one who hears. Without assumption so, giving advice makes no sense. Hence, Assumption I is implicit. Assumption II is implicit of a thing, then he assumes that he knows about it. Assumption III is very much valid, otherwise the statement becomes meaningless.
Correct Answer: None is implicit
Explanation:
None of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. Assumption I is not implicit because the word 'entire' makes the assumption doubtful. Assumption II is not implicit because neither we know the quality of the product not the market for the product. Assumption III is not implicit because we cannot say anything about the quantity of resources of the company.
Correct Answer: All are implicit
Explanation:
State Government's decision to increase octroi by 5% is based on the assumption that the State Government is competent enough to implement the decision and also get the consent of the Central Government. The hike is in view of earning additional amount.
Correct Answer: II and III are implicit
Explanation:
The use of the word 'totally' makes the assumption doubtful. It is the given that the Central Government has directed the State Government to reduce its expenditure account and also the State Government will abide by the directives.
Correct Answer: None is implicit
Explanation:
Assumption I is invalid because of the word 'only' Assumption II is has also no connection with the given statement. So, Assumption II also become invalid. In case of III, we can say that an advertisement is given to get desired response and not to be ignored. Hence, Assumption III again is an invalid assumption.
