Question

In the question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and
II. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. Statement:
"To reduce energy consumption, all office lights will automatically switch off after 9 p.m." Assumptions:
I. Some employees may forget to switch off the lights before leaving.
II. Automatically switching off lights can help in reducing energy consumption.

Q: Answer-In the question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have t...

Assumption I is implicit because the rule introduces an automatic system, which suggests that relying on employees to manually switch off lights may not be effective. Assumption II is implicit because the stated purpose is to reduce energy consumption, which presumes that automatic switching-off will indeed achieve that goal. Thus, both assumptions are implicit.
