Statement: Unemployment allowance should be given to all unemployed Indian youth above 18 years of age. Assumptions: There are unemployed youth in India who needs monetary support. The government has sufficient funds to provide allowance to all unemployed youth.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Only assumption I is implicit

Explanation:

Given data

  • Statement: Give unemployment allowance to all unemployed Indian youth above 18.
  • Assumption I: There exist unemployed youth who need monetary support.
  • Assumption II: The government has sufficient funds to provide allowance to all unemployed youth.

Concept/Approach
A policy proposal assumes existence of the target group and the problem's relevance; funding sufficiency need not be presupposed (it could be arranged or phased).


Step-by-step reasoning
I: If no unemployed youth needed support, the policy would be pointless. Hence I is necessary and implicit.II: The proposal does not require current sufficiency of funds; the government may raise/allocate funds later. Therefore II is not an essential presupposition.


Verification/Alternative
Policy intent can precede budgeting; existence/need of beneficiaries is the core assumption.


Common pitfalls

  • Equating feasibility (budget) with assumption; feasibility can be addressed post-decision.

Final Answer
Only assumption I is implicit.
