Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : The host in one of the popular T.V. programmes announced that the channel will contact the viewers between 9.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. on weekdays and the lucky ones will be given fabulous prizes. Assumptions : I. The people may remain indoors to receive the phone call. II. More people may start watching the programme.

[amp_mcq option1=”Only assumption I is implicit” option2=”Only assumption II is implicit” option3=”Either I or II is implicit” option4=”Neither I nor II is implicit E. Both I and II are implicit” correct=”option3″]

The correct answer is: C. Either I or II is implicit

The statement says that the channel will contact the viewers between 9.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. on weekdays and the lucky ones will be given fabulous prizes. This means that the viewers need to be available to receive the phone call. This implies that they may remain indoors to receive the phone call. It also implies that more people may start watching the programme in order to be eligible for the prizes.

However, the statement does not explicitly state that the viewers will remain indoors or that more people will start watching the programme. Therefore, we cannot say for certain that either assumption is true. We can only say that either assumption is possible.
