Statement–Assumption (Stress on Indian Police): Statement: “The police in India have to cope with tremendous stress and strain while maintaining security and order.” Assumptions: I) Police in other countries do not face stress and strain while doing their duties. II) Police are expected to perform their duties without experiencing stress.
Correct Answer: Neither Assumption I nor II is implicit
Introduction / Context:The sentence simply asserts a fact about Indian police workloads. It neither compares with other countries nor states a normative expectation of “stress-free” policing.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Observed: Indian police face heavy stress.
- I: Others abroad face no stress.
- II: Police should perform duties without stress.
Concept / Approach:Assumptions must be necessary conditions for the statement’s sense. Comparison with foreign forces (I) is not required. A norm that police should be stress-free (II) is also not required to state a present reality.
Step-by-Step Solution:1) Negate I: Even if foreign police are also stressed, the statement about India stands.2) Negate II: Even if stress is expected, the descriptive claim remains valid.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:Any option including I or II treats nonessential comparisons or norms as prerequisites.
Final Answer:Neither Assumption I nor II is implicit.
