Question : Directions: Consider the given statement to be true, even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the following conclusions or assumptions be drawn from the given statement.
Statement:
Laugh and the world will laugh with you.
Assumptions:
I. People generally laugh.
II. Laughter symbolizes happiness.
Option 1: Only I is an assumption
Option 2: Only II is an assumption
Option 3: Both I and II are assumptions
Option 4: Neither I nor II is an assumption
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is an assumption
Solution :
Let's analyse the assumptions –
Assumption I:
People generally laugh.
According to the statement, when we laugh then the whole world will laugh with us. But it does not state that people are always generally laughing. Therefore, this assumption is false.
Assumption II:
Laughter symbolizes happiness.
According to the statement, when we laugh then the whole world will laugh with us. But it does not state that every laughter symbolizes happiness. It is not necessary that behind every laugh there is happiness. Therefore, this assumption is false.
So, neither assumption I nor assumption II follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
