  • Question
  • Statement: The government has decided to disinvest large chunk of its equity in select public sector undertakings for a better fiscal management.

    Assumptions:

    1. The amount generated out of the disinvestment process may reduce substantially the mounting fiscal deficits.
    2. There will be enough demand in the market for the shares of these undertakings.


  • Options
  • A. Only assumption I is implicit
  • B. Only assumption II is implicit
  • C. Either I or II is implicit
  • D. Neither I nor II is implicit
  • E. Both I and II are implicit

  • Correct Answer
  • Only assumption I is implicit 

    Explanation
    The fact given in I directly follows from the phrase '..... for a better fiscal management' in the statement. So, I is implicit. However, the public response to the new policy cannot be ascertained. So, II is not implicit.
