  • 3None is implicit
  • 4Only I and III are implicit
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

  • 2Only II is implicit
  • 3Only II and III are implicit
  • 4Only III is implicit
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
The statement mentions only the schedule of the examination. But this doesn't ensure full attendance of students on that day. However, this implies that the college will remain open on the date of examination to hold the same and that the students can study till that date to pass the examination. Hence, only II and III are implicit, while I is not.

  • 2Only I and II are implicit
  • 3Only II is implicit
  • 4Only II and III are implicit
Answer:- 1

  • 1None is implicit
  • 2Only I and III are implicit
  • 3Only II is implicit
  • 4Only II and III are implicit
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
It is mentioned that the apples are so cheap that they cannot be good. This means that the prices of good apples are never too low and that very cheap apples are never good. So, neither I nor III is implicit. Assumption II clearly follows from the statement that apples are of inferior quality because they are cheap. So, it is implicit.

08. Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by three conclusions. Give answer :

  • 2Only II and III are implicit
  • 3Only III is implicit
  • 4All are implicit
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
Nothing about the sources of income of the State Governments is mentioned in the statement. So, I is not implicit. Since the Central Government has directed the State Governments to reduce expenditure, so II is implicit. Further, since the Central Government has refused any further grant to the State Governments for the next six months, it is quite clear that these Governments will abide by the directive. So, III is also implicit.
