Discussion Forum : Statement & Assumptions
Question - Statement:
The government has decided to pay compensation to the tune of Rs 1 lakh to the family members of those who are killed in railway accidents.
Assumptions:
I. The government has enough funds to meet the expenses due to compensation.
II. There may be reduction in incidents of railway accidents in near future.
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 A
Answer: (a)The decision taken by the government implies that the government must be assuming I. Note that no organisation/government/person takes decision to compensate the victim unless it assumes that it has adequate fund to satisfy the expenses. II can’t be correlated. Hence, II is not implicit.
