Statement — “A leading NGO decided to open a library with books and newspapers of major publishers in a remote village.”\nAssumptions:\nI. All nearby villages already have similar libraries.\nII. There is an adequate number of literate people in the village.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Only Assumption II is implicit

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Establishing a library presupposes sufficient potential users (literate readers). It does not depend on what neighboring villages possess.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Statement: Open a library with broad coverage of publishers in a remote village.
  • Assumption I: Neighboring villages already have libraries.
  • Assumption II: The target village has enough literate people to benefit.


Concept / Approach:
An action becomes reasonable when its intended beneficiaries exist; hence II is necessary. I describes external parity and is irrelevant to the action’s viability.


Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Identify the intended users: literate villagers → need sufficient numbers.2) Neighboring infrastructure does not determine this decision’s logic.


Verification / Alternative check:
Even if no nearby village has a library, establishing the first one still makes sense given literacy.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Only I/Either/Both: insert unnecessary assumptions. Neither: ignores the minimal user-base requirement.


Common Pitfalls:
Assuming decisions are based on regional parity rather than local need.


Final Answer:
Only Assumption II is implicit.
