    Question

    In each 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 improve the air quality of the city, the municipal corporation has decided to ban the use of private vehicles in the downtown area on weekends." Assumptions: I. Private vehicles are a significant contributor to the city's air pollution. II. People will be able to manage their commute or find alternative transport on weekends.
    A Only assumption I is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only assumption II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Either I or II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both I and II are implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The statement outlines a specific ban aimed at improving air quality, which implies: Assumption I: The decision to ban private vehicles is based on the belief that they contribute to the problem (air pollution). If they were not a factor, banning them would not improve the air quality. → Implicit. Assumption II: Any administrative ban assumes that the resulting change is feasible for the public. If the corporation believed the city would come to a complete, unmanageable standstill, they would not implement the policy. → Implicit. Hence, both assumptions are implicit.
