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: Commuters will have the

    benefit of parking spaces at a majority of the stations on the Green Line as six out of the 11 yet-to-be inaugurated stations will have parking lots for two-wheelers. I. All these six stations will have space only for two-wheelers II. With several stations located in congested areas, parking space has been tough to find on this route.
    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

    Solution

    Had the word “only” not written in the Assumption I, it would have been implicit but here it says that stations will have space only for two wheelers. Since the statement does not say anything about the other types of vehicles, Assumption I is not implicit. Assumption II is also not implied as we don’t know about the congestion and parking situation in the area.
