Statement: “The government has announced an increase in the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for wheat ahead of the upcoming rabi season.”Assumptions:
I. Farmers require a guaranteed minimum price to be motivated to grow wheat.
II. The current MSP for wheat is lower than the cost of production.

Both Assumptions I and II are implicit

Only Assumption I is implicit

Only Assumption II is implicit

Neither Assumption I nor II is implicit

Either Assumption I or II is implicit

Solution & Explanation Assumption I: MSP is a price-support mechanism designed to incentivise farmers ⇒ the announcement assumes farmers need such a guarantee to grow wheat. IMPLICIT. Assumption II: The statement does not claim current MSP is below production cost; the hike could be a routine revision or pre-emptive measure. NOT implicit. Answer: A.

Directions: A statement is given followed by two inferences I and II. You have to consider the statement to be true even if it seems to be at variance with commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given inferences, if any, follow from the given statement.
Statements: The main reasons for a poor yield were not only the floods and heavy rains but also the insouciant use of chemicalized disinfectants destroying the plants from within and damaging the fertility of the soil, in turn ruining the chance of further use as well.
Inferences:
I. The soil will not be able to produce a good yield in the future.
II. The floods and rains made the soil infertile and futile.

Solution & Explanation Inference I: The statement says disinfectants damaged soil fertility and ruined 'the chance of further use' → future poor yield is inferable ✓. Inference II: The statement says floods/rains were causes of poor yield but specifically attributes soil infertility to chemical disinfectants — not floods/rains specifically ✗. Only Inference I follows. Answer: A.

Statement: A library decided to extend its working hours during examination season. Assumptions: I. Students require more study time during exams. II. The library has sufficient staff to manage extended hours.

Neither I nor II follows

Both Assumptions I and II follow

Only Assumption I follows

Either I or II follows

Only Assumption II follows

Solution & Explanation The decision is based on the assumption that students need more time to study during exams. Staff sufficiency is an operational detail, not an assumption underlying the decision.

Statement: “Students should avoid using mobile phones during class hours.” — School circularAssumptions:
I. Students use (or are likely to use) mobile phones during class.
II. Mobile phones disrupt the teaching-learning process.

Both Assumptions I and II are implicit

Neither Assumption I nor II is implicit

Only Assumption II is implicit

Either Assumption I or II is implicit

Only Assumption I is implicit

Solution & Explanation I: The directive implies the behaviour exists or is anticipated. Implicit. II: The circular is issued because phones disturb learning. Implicit. Answer: C.

Statement: The government has made it mandatory for food processing units to display nutritional information on packaging. Assumptions: I. Consumers consider nutritional information before purchasing food. II. Food processing units have the technical capability to print such information.

Both Assumptions I and II follow

Either I or II follows

Neither I nor II follows

Only Assumption II follows

Only Assumption I follows

Solution & Explanation The mandate assumes that nutritional information is useful to consumers (Assumption I). It also assumes that food processing units are capable of implementing this requirement, otherwise the mandate would be impractical (Assumption II). Both assumptions are implicit in the statement.
