Discussion Forum : Statement & Assumptions
Question - Statement:
“When Mr X and Mr Y stepped out for toss on the ground it was evident that one of them was in positive frame of mind while the other was tense, fearing defeat and elimination from the tournament.”
—An ex-captain of a cricket team
Assumptions:
I. Panic always sets in when a team is playing after a spate of defeats.
II. There are some days when a player achieves magical heights, when he is unstoppable and when every other player in the arena looks woefully inadequate.
Options:
A .  if only assumption I is implicit.
B .  if only assumption II is implicit.
C .  if either I or II is implicit.
D .  if neither I nor II is implicit.
E .  if both I and II are implicit.
Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)I is not implicit because ‘spate of defeats’ can’t be correlated with the statement. On a similar basis II also can’t be correlated with the statement.
