 STATEMENT AND ASSUMPTIONS PART-2_Analytical Reasoning

1. (1) None of the Assumptions (A), (B) and (C) is implicit in the statement. If police authority has
cordoned off the entire locality, it implies that police will ably control the vehicular movement in
the locality. Any advice is given assuming that people will follow it.

2. (3) Only Assumption (B) is implicit in the statement.

3.(2) Both B and C are implicit. If the Government has decided to auction construction of highways
to private entities, it may be assumed that many private entities in the country are capable of
constructing highways within reasonable time.

Private entities will agree to construct only if they see some profit. Thus, C is also implicit

4. (2) Only Assumption (A) is implicit in the statement. Any appeal/request is issued assuming that
some people will pay heed to it.

5. (5) Neither Assumption I nor II is implicit in the statement. If training facility is available in one’s
own country, he/she would not go to other country for training. It is mentioned in the statement
that the employee XYZ should be sent for a training in United Kingdom to gain more insight into
the project. It does not imply that the employee XYZ is incapable of handling the project with the
present skill. Moreover, a project is assigned to any person assuming that he/she is capable
enough to handle it.

6. (1) Only Assumption I is implicit in the statement. It is mentioned that the presence of nitrate in
fodder B makes it unsuitable for cattle.
