Two Assumptions Based
Two Assumptions Based
Critical reasoning involves the ability to actively and skillfully conceptualize, analyze, question and evaluate ideas
Introduction : Assumption is something which is supposed or assumed and are taken for granted. It is based on the hypothesis that when something is said, the complete meaning or idea is not presented. There are many things which remain unsaid. In this situation, when we take something for granted or suppose something that aspect of our supposition is called assumption.
The candidates are required to assess the given statement and decide which of the given assumptions is implicit in the statement. To understand the pattern of these questions, it is very essential to know what the terms statement and assumptions do stand for. Here, an assumption is something that can be supposed or assumed on the basis of a given statement.
Most questions on statement and assumptions consist of a statement and are followed with two or more further statements (assumptions) which have to be tested for, whether they are implied in the original statement or not.
Two Assumptions Based : In this type of questions a statement is given, followed by two assumptions. The candidates is required to assess the given statement and then decide which of the given assumptions is implicit in the statement.
Directions : In each of the illustrations given below a statement is followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. Consider the statement and decide which of the given assumptions is implicit?
Illustration 1 : Statement : The Union Government has decided to withdraw existing tax relief on various small savings schemes in a phased manner to augment its tax collection.
Assumptions:
Solution (d) : The Union Government has decided to withdraw existing tax relief on various small savings schemes in a phased manner to augment its tax collection. This means withdrawing tax reliefs would increase the tax on small savings . This will also lead to increase in tax collection. Therefore, both the assumptions are implicit in the statement.
Illustration 2 : Statement : The Government has decided to levy 2% surcharge on the tax amount payable for funding drought relief programmes.
Assumptions:
Solution (d) : If there were sufficient money to fund drought relief programmes, why this measure should be taken? So, as a surcharge has been levied to fund drought relief programmes, it follows that the Government does not have sufficient money for the same. So, I is implicit.
Besides, the percentage of surcharge must have been decided after studying the expected inflow in relation to amount of funds required. So, II is also implicit.
Therefore, both the assumptions are implicit in the statement.
Directions : In the problem below a statement is given followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. Consider the statement and decided which of the given assumptions is implicit.
