Question

    In each question below a statement is given 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: Scientists, led by an Indian-origin researcher, have developed artificial bone tissues that could provide new bone marrow for patients needing transplants and make the procedure much safer.

    I. The present procedure for bone marrow transplants is quite risky for the patients.

    II. It is the first time that artificial bone tissue have been developed.

    A if only I implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B if only II implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C if either I or II implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D if neither I nor II implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E if both I and II implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Since it is mentioned that this development will make bone marrow transplant ‘much’ safer, we can infer that assumption I is implicit. Assumption II is also implicit because we can assume that such research was not made earlier.
