Question

In the question below is given statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. 

Statement: Unless country ‘X’ achieves total literacy, it cannot achieve its mission of development.   

Assumption I: It is possible to achieve total literacy in  country ‘X’.

Assumption II: No development is possible without a proper mission.

विकल्प

• If only I assumption is implicit   

• If only assumption II is implicit

• If neither I nor II is implicit

• If both I and II are implicit 

Answer 1

If only I assumption is implicit   

Explanation:

The statement talks of the mission of development which will only be possible when country ‘X’ achieves total literacy. Since a mission is a realistic possibility, therefore the condition of total literacy also has to be a realistic possibility. Therefore assumption I is implicit. We do not know if development is possible without a mission or not, so assumption II is not implicit. 'If only I assumption is implicit ' is the correct answer.
