Question

Statement: The government has decided to reduce its subsidy on LPG; however the subsidy on kerosene remains unchanged.
Assumptions:
I. Those people who buy LPG can afford to purchase LPG for a higher price.
II. Many people may stop buying LPG and instead use kerosene.

• A. Only assumption I is implicit
• B. Only assumption II is implicit
• C. Either I or II is implicit
• D. Neither I nor II is implicit
• E. Both I and Ii are implicit

Answer 1

The correct option is A Only assumption I is implicit

Clearly, the decision has been taken keeping in mind that the section of people using LPG can afford to pay a slightly higher price. The government does not want to affect the weakest sections who still use kerosene. So, only I is implicit, while II is not.
