Home Logical Reasoning Statement and Assumption Comments

  • Question
  • Statement: Today I must satisfy myself only by looking at a pink headed duck in an encyclopaedia.

    Assumptions:

    1. Pink headed ducks are as good as extinct now.
    2. People refer to encyclopaedia to know only about things which do not exist now.


  • 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
    Since the narrator talks of satisfying himself by just looking at a picture in encyclopaedia, it means that pink headed ducks are not to be seen alive. So, I is implicit. But II does not follow from the statement and is not implicit.
