Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by three conclusions. Give answer : Statement : “A rare opportunity to be a professional while you are at home.” – An advertisement for computer literate housewives by a computer company. Assumptions : I. Some housewives simultaneously desire to become professional. II. Computer industry is growing at a fast pace. III. It is possible to be a professional as well as a housewife.

Only I and II are implicit
Only II and III are implicit
Only I and III are implicit
Only II is implicit E. None of these

The correct answer is: Only I and III are implicit.

The statement “A rare opportunity to be a professional while you are at home” is an advertisement for computer literate housewives by a computer company. This implies that there are some housewives who are computer literate and who desire to become professional. It also implies that it is possible to be a professional as well as a housewife. However, the statement does not imply that the computer industry is growing at a fast pace.

Here is a more detailed explanation of each of the assumptions:

  • Assumption I: Some housewives simultaneously desire to become professional.

This assumption is implicit in the statement because the statement is advertising an opportunity for housewives to become professional. The statement would not be relevant to housewives who do not desire to become professional.

  • Assumption II: It is possible to be a professional as well as a housewife.

This assumption is also implicit in the statement because the statement is advertising an opportunity for housewives to become professional while they are at home. The statement would not be relevant to housewives who believe that it is not possible to be a professional as well as a housewife.

  • Assumption III: The computer industry is growing at a fast pace.

This assumption is not implicit in the statement. The statement does not mention the computer industry or its growth rate. Therefore, we cannot conclude that the computer industry is growing at a fast pace.

In conclusion, only assumptions I and III are implicit in the statement.
