Statement: "As there is a great demand, every person seeking tickets of the programme will be given only five tickets."
Assumptions:
The organizers are not keen on selling the tickets.
No one is interested in getting more than five tickets.
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
Neither I nor II is implicit
Explanation
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.
Grapes are to a pear as cheese is to butter. This relationship shows the grouping or category to which something belongs. Grapes and pears are fruit; cheese and butter are both dairy products.
5. Choose the picture that would go in the empty box so that the two bottom pictures are related in the same way as the top two:
A telephone is to a stamped letter as an airplane is to a bus. A telephone and letter are both forms of communication. An airplane and bus are both forms of transportation.
6. Statements: National Aluminium Company has moved India from a position of shortage to self-sufficiency in the metal.
Conclusions:
Previously, India had to import aluminium.
With this speed, it can soon become a foreign exchange earner.
According to the statement, National Aluminium Company has moved India from a position of shortage in the past to self-sufficiency in the present. This means that previously, India had to import aluminium. So, I follows. Also, it can be deduced that if production increases at the same rate, India can export it in future. So, II also follows.
7. Statement: Footpaths of a busy road are crowded with vendors selling cheap items.
Courses of Action:
The help of police should be sought to drive them away.
Some space should be provided to them where they can earn their bread without blocking footpaths.
Crowding on footpaths is a great inconvenience for walkers. So, stern action needs to be taken to remove the vendors. But at the same time these people ought to be provided alternative means of livelihood. So, both the courses follow.
Clearly, the only remedy is to somehow attempt to change the habit. If transferred, the habit will create problem elsewhere. Also, it is no legal complaint to be referred to the Union. So, none of the courses follows.
