    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: "The city council should install solar-powered streetlights in all public parks to reduce electricity costs." Assumptions: I. Public parks currently consume a significant amount of electricity for lighting. II. Solar-powered streetlights are the most efficient alternative to traditional lighting systems.
    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 suggests a change to reduce costs, which implies: Assumption I: If the current electricity consumption for lighting in parks wasn't significant or costly, there would be no reason to propose a change specifically to "reduce electricity costs." → Implicit. Assumption II: The statement suggests solar power as a solution, but it does not claim it is the only or the most efficient way compared to all other possible technologies (like LED or wind-powered lights). It is simply one proposed method. → Not Implicit. Thus, only Assumption I is implicit.
