Question
A statement is given, followed by two assumptions I and
II. You have to consider the statement and two assumptions and decide which of the assumption(s) is/are implicit. Statement: The government has decided to levy a 5% education cess to fund educational schemes across India. Assumptions: I. The government currently does not have sufficient budget to fund the educational schemes. II. The people of India want to contribute towards setting up these educational schemes.Solution
