Question

In the question a statement is given, followed by two assumptions, numbered I and
II. An assumption is something 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 : To reduce the growing incidence of high-speed train derailments at sharp rail curves, the Railway Safety Authority has mandated that all passenger locomotives must install an automated "Speed Suppression System." This system will automatically override manual driver throttling and apply emergency braking if it detects entry into a curve exceeding safe operational limits. The goal is to eliminate driver oversight and ensure passenger safety. Assumptions :
I. A substantial proportion of curve-related train derailments is currently caused by driver oversight or human error in speed management.
II. The automated speed suppression system is capable of detecting unsafe speeds and executing braking control more reliably than human drivers in critical curve approaches.

Q: Answer-In the question a statement is given, followed by two assumptions, numbered I and II. An assumption...

Assumption I is implicit The policy statement explicitly cites the goal as eliminating driver oversight to address rising derailments. For this automated mandate to be a logical intervention, the Authority must take for granted that human oversight or driver error in regulating speed is a major root cause of the current derailment issue. If derailments were caused solely by track defects or mechanical brake failures, mandating a system to override driver throttling would not address the problem. Assumption II is implicit The regulation forces railways to deploy an automatic override system. This presupposes that the automated mechanism can judge approach speeds and execute safety protocols more consistently and accurately than human drivers during critical curve entries. If the Authority did not assume the automated system could perform better than human drivers in these high-risk moments, forcing an automatic override would be unjustified. Hence, both assumptions I and II are implicit in the statement.
