Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : The improvement in the quality of T.V. programmes will lead to increase in the sales of T.V. Assumptions : I. T.V. is a good entertainment medium. II. The quality of T.V. programmes has improved recently.

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

The statement “The improvement in the quality of T.V. programmes will lead to increase in the sales of T.V.” does not explicitly state that T.V. is a good entertainment medium or that the quality of T.V. programmes has improved recently. However, both of these assumptions are necessary for the statement to be true.

If T.V. is not a good entertainment medium, then people will not be motivated to buy T.V.s, even if the quality of the programmes has improved. Similarly, if the quality of T.V. programmes has not improved, then people will not be motivated to buy T.V.s, even if T.V. is a good entertainment medium.

Therefore, either assumption I or assumption II must be true in order for the statement to be true.
