Correct Answer: Only assumption I is implicit
Explanation:
The total utility can be maximised by equality of income throughout the community, i.e., by giving extra income from the rich to the poor. So, I is implicit. Also, II pertains to economic right and is not concerned with equality of income throughout the community. So, it is not implicit.
Correct Answer: Both I and II are implicit
Explanation:
It is mentioned that farmers will be in trouble without rain. This means that timely rain is essential. Also, it shows that farmers are dependent on rain. So, both I and II are implicit.
Correct Answer: Only assumption II is implicit
Explanation:
I is vague and so it is not implicit. The statement expresses grave concern over the pensioners not having received clearness relief even two months after the implementation of the policy. This implies that two months' time is sufficient and it's already too late. So, II is implicit.
Correct Answer: Only assumption I is implicit
Explanation:
I follows from the statement and so is implicit. But the status of economic prosperity as a nation's goal is not discussed in the statement. So, II is not implicit.
Correct Answer: Only assumption II is implicit
Explanation:
It is mentioned that nourishment is essential for survival. So, this is the basic cause of intake of food. Hence, I is not implicit. Since taste of food affects the intake of nourishment, it means that human beings are affected by taste. So, II is implicit.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is implicit
Explanation:
Clearly, the city bus company is meant to provide bus services according to the needs of the local residents and not as per their own convenience. So, I is not implicit. Again, the statement talks of an appeal of a resident of Ram/Nagar. So, nothing can be said about the company's response to appeals of the Residents of Sant Colony. So, II is also not implicit.
Correct Answer: Both I and II are implicit
Explanation:
According to the statement, Rajan can begin the activities according to the instructions. So, both I and II are implicit.
Correct Answer: Only assumption II is implicit
Explanation:
Clearly, I is not directly related to the issue in the given statement and so it is not implicit. The civic authority makes an appeal to the people with the hope that it would surely be attended to by the people. So, II is implicit.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is implicit
Explanation:
Nothing about the need or utility of personal computers can be deduced from the given statement. So, neither I nor II is implicit.
Correct Answer: Both I and II are implicit
Explanation:
The Director asserts that computerization is essential to maintain the present state of affairs in future. This means that the Institute will lag behind in the absence of computerisation. This in turn implies that the functions of the Institute are too cumbersome and time-consuming and can be handled in time only through computers. So, both I and II are implicit.
