Statements, Assumptions and Conclusions

Question:

In this question a statement is given which is followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumption (s) is/are implicit in the statement.

Statement: A's advice to B -"Go to Jammu via Amritsar- the shortest route"

Assumptions:

I. B wishes to go to Jammu.

II. A gives advice to everybody.

Options:

If only assumption I is implicit

If only assumption II is implicit

If either I or II is implicit.

If neither I nor II is implicit.

Correct Answer:

If only assumption I is implicit

Explanation:

Let's analyze the statement:

"A's advice to B - 'Go to Jammu via Amritsar- the shortest route'"

To answer this question, we need to identify which assumptions are implicit in the statement.

Assumption I: "B wishes to go to Jammu"

This assumption is implicit because the statement implies that B is going to Jammu, as A's advice is about the shortest route to Jammu.

Assumption II: "A gives advice to everybody"

This assumption is not implicit because the statement only mentions A's advice to B, not everybody. It could be that A only gives advice to specific people, not everyone.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

 If only assumption I is implicit.
