Directions (11-13): In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions
numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to
consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is
implicit in the statement.
Give answer
(a) If only assumption I is implicit
(b) If only assumption II is implicit
(c) If either I or II is implicit
(d) If neither I nor II is implicit
(e) If both I and II are implicit

Q11. Statements: Instead of burning the leaves, bury them in compost pits, by which it gets converted
to natural manure, making it beneficial for the soil. A notice issued in public interest by Department of
Environment
Assumptions:
I. Whenever leaves are burnt in the open, the air gets laden with tiny particulate matter which raises air
pollution to alarming levels, which cause severe respiratory disorders and eye infections to those
exposed to it.
II. Benefits gained from ashes of leaves burnt are not as much as the benefits gained from the natural
manure obtained from leaves by burring it.

Q12. Statements: “A tempting cup of Garma ¼xZe½ Georgia now awaits you at every street
corner. So, no matter whom you are or where you go, a Georgia Vending Machine will hand you the
same clean, delicious cup of tea in Regular, Adrak, Elaichi and Masala and if you’re looking for a
change try the Regular, Mocha and Cappuccino coffee. One sip will make you realize why every other
alternative is a mere compromise!” ____ An advertisement
Assumptions:
I. Most of the people need delicious cup of tea or coffee with a change in taste.
II. Every person is addicted to either tea or coffee.

Q13. Statements: “If you ask me about the daunting challenges that I face, I would say that my
government’s first priority is to improve the existing law and order situation. Then follows the issue of
prices of commodities.” ___ Mr. ROY, a newly appointed PM of country CLINTON

Assumptions:
I. If a citizen of country CLINTON can sleep peacefully, he/she can then think of providing food to
his/her family, ponder over education and move about freely in the country.
II. Prices of the commodities affect the common man greatly.

S11. Ans.(b)
Sol. For I-Although statement I is an environmental fact but assumption, I is not implicit on the basis of
the given statement. Because the given statement is concerned with soil pollution whereas I assumption
is concerned with air pollution which is quite deep and not directly related to the given statement.
For II: But assumption II is implicit as it explains about the benefits of burring leaves over burning it.
S12. Ans.(a)
Sol. Assumption I is implicit.
Dr. Shainu Mathew / Logical Reasoning/ Mock Test / IPER UG Page 10
S13. Ans.(d)
Sol. I is not implicit. II is not implicit because the PM only assumes that law and order affects the
common man more than prices do.
S14. Ans. (c)
Sol. If all the symbols are dropped, we will get:
A5DG2JEGN17LJ516KP24V562S5M6P
Now, if starting thirteen elements are reversed, we will get:
JL71NGEJ2GD5A516KP24V562S5M6P
Now, ‘G’ will be sixth from the left end.
S15. Ans. (b)
Sol. Two symbols are there which are immediately preceded by a digit and immediately followed by a
letter =@ and &
A 5 @ D G # 2 J % $ E G N 1 7 @ & L J 5 1 @ 6 K P & 2 $ 4 V 5 6 @ 2 S 5 & M 6 P
S16. Ans. (c)
Sol. Third element from the left end = @
“E” is 8th to the right of “@”.
“2” is 4th to the left of “E”.
S17. Ans. (d)
Sol. If number 5 is inserted after every fifth element we will get seven letters which are immediately
followed by 5.
A 5 @ D G 5 # 2 J % $ 5 E G N 1 7 5 @ & L J 5 5 1 @ 6 K P5 & 2 $ 4 V5 5 6 @ 2 S 5 5 & M 6 P 5
S18. Ans. (a)
Sol. Now, ‘@’ is the sixth element from the left end of the arrangement. ‘G’ is the ninth element from
the right end of the arrangement.
