    Question

    In each question a statement is given, followed by two

    assumptions, numbered I and II. An assumption is supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. Statement: A leading smartphone company has announced a 20% discount on its latest model to boost sales during the festive season. Assumptions: I. Customers are more likely to buy smartphones when discounts are offered. II. The company’s latest model has not been selling well so far.
    A Only I is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both I and II are implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither I nor II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Offering a discount to boost sales assumes that customers respond positively to price reductions → Assumption I is implicit. The statement does NOT say the model is selling poorly; discounts can also be offered simply because it is a festive season. Hence, poor sales are not necessarily assumed → Assumption II is not implicit. Thus, only Assumption I follows.
