Statement : Let us increase the taxes to cover the deficit.

From the given assumptions choose the implicit.

Assumptions

A. The present taxes are very low

B. Deficit in a budget is not desirable

C. Deficit in a budget is desirable

D. If the taxes are taxes are not increases, the deficit can not be met

E. If the taxes are not decreased, the deficit cannot be met

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

B and D only

A. The present taxes are very low: The statement suggests increasing taxes to cover the deficit, but it does not necessarily imply that the current taxes are very low. It simply implies that the current tax level is insufficient to cover the deficit.

B. Deficit in a budget is not desirable: The statement implies a need to cover the deficit, which suggests that a deficit is not desirable and should be addressed.

C. Deficit in a budget is desirable: This is the opposite of what the statement implies. The suggestion to cover the deficit indicates that having a deficit is not desirable.

D. If the taxes are not increased, the deficit cannot be met: This is implicit in the statement, as it suggests increasing taxes as a solution to cover the deficit, implying that without an increase, the deficit would remain unaddressed.

E. If the taxes are not decreased, the deficit cannot be met: This assumption is not relevant to the statement, as it discusses increasing taxes, not decreasing them.

The correct implicit assumptions are:

B. Deficit in a budget is not desirable

D. If the taxes are not increased, the deficit cannot be met

The correct answer is option (3) : B and D only
