Question : Directions: In the following question, one statement is given followed by two assumptions I and II. You have to consider the statement to be true, even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given assumptions, if any, follows from the given statement. Statement: "There is very heavy traffic on the road between 5 to 7 pm. We need to have a flyover in this area". A planning engineer said in a meeting. Assumptions: I. Heavy traffic should be regulated. II. Previous planning engineers did not do much about heavy traffic.
Option 1: Both I and II are implicit
Option 2: Only assumption I is implicit
Option 3: Only assumption II is implicit
Option 4: Neither I nor II is implicit
Correct Answer: Only assumption I is implicit
Solution : Let's analyse the given assumptions – Assumption I: Heavy traffic should be regulated – In the given statement, plans are being suggested to regulate the traffic. Thus, this assumption is implicit. Assumption II: Previous planning engineers did not do much about heavy traffic – In the given statement, there is no indication of previous planning engineers. So, nothing definite can be deduced about the previous planning engineers. Thus, this assumption is not implicit.
Therefore, only assumption I is implicit. Hence, the second option is correct.
