Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by three conclusions. Give answer : Statement : During pre-harvest kharif season, the government has decided to release vast quantity of food grains from FCI. Assumptions : I. There may be a shortage of food grains in the market during this season. II. The kharif crop may be able to replenish the stock of FCI. III. There may be a demand from the farmers to procure kharif crop immediately after harvest.

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

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

The statement says that the government has decided to release vast quantity of food grains from FCI during pre-harvest kharif season. This implies that there may be a shortage of food grains in the market during this season. It also implies that the kharif crop may be able to replenish the stock of FCI. However, there is no evidence to suggest that there may be a demand from the farmers to procure kharif crop immediately after harvest.

Here is a detailed explanation of each assumption:

  • Assumption I: There may be a shortage of food grains in the market during this season.

This assumption is implicit in the statement because the government has decided to release vast quantity of food grains from FCI. This suggests that the government is anticipating a shortage of food grains in the market.

  • Assumption II: The kharif crop may be able to replenish the stock of FCI.

This assumption is also implicit in the statement because the government has decided to release food grains from FCI during the pre-harvest kharif season. This suggests that the government is confident that the kharif crop will be able to replenish the stock of FCI.

  • Assumption III: There may be a demand from the farmers to procure kharif crop immediately after harvest.

This assumption is not implicit in the statement. There is no evidence to suggest that the farmers will demand that the government procure their kharif crop immediately after harvest. In fact, it is more likely that the farmers will want to sell their kharif crop at a higher price after the harvest season.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Only I and II are implicit.
