Question

In each question below is given a statement/passage followed by two assumptions numbered I and
II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two assumptions together and decide which of them is implicit in the statement. Statement: A city’s public transport department has announced that it will introduce additional buses during peak hours to reduce crowding and improve commuter safety. Assumptions:
I. Excessive crowding in buses during peak hours is a safety concern.
II. Introducing more buses will help distribute passengers more evenly and reduce crowding.

Q: Answer-In each question below is given a statement/passage followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. Y...

The decision to add more buses to reduce crowding and improve safety clearly assumes that crowding currently poses a safety risk. Thus, Assumption I is implicit. It also assumes that running additional buses will actually help reduce the crowding, otherwise the decision would not achieve its intended purpose. Thus, Assumption II is also implicit. Therefore, both assumptions logically follow.
