    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.
    A Only I is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both I and Il are implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither I nor II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    If the government had funds, why would it levy education cess in the first place? Thus, Assumption I is implicit in the statement. What the citizens of India want or do not want, cannot in any way be implied from the statement. Thus, Assumption II is not valid. Hence, the correct answer is (A).
