   Answer & Explanations

 

  1. Option(1). Exp: Obviously assumption I is implicit in the statement. The fact which is  

      highlighted or mentioned in the advertisement is liked or looked for by the people. The use

      of word “only” makes the second assumption invalid.

  2. Option (2). Exp: We know that any advertisement attracts some people. Therefore,

      assumption I is not implicit in the statement. Assumption II seems to be valid as the     

      advertisement mentions about variety of articles.

  3. Option (1). Exp: Obviously assumption I is implicit in the statement. EXIM policy should

      take into account the prevalent market condition. It is not proper to assume that earlier

      Policy is faulty. It may be that it is suitable in the context of prevailing market condition.

 4. Option (4). Exp: Neither of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. It is quite possible

     that the new company gives good salary only to Kumar Sanjeev Ranjan.

 5. Option (4). Exp: Both the assumptions are more or less personal views. Therefore, neither

    of these assumptions is implicit in the statement.
