Question 175

IBPS Clerk 2025• Reasoning Ability• Reasoning Ability

Directions

In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

A recent study found that social media platforms, while connecting people, also amplify the spread of misinformation. Users who lack critical thinking skills are particularly vulnerable, as their initial exposure to false claims often occurs through these platforms. However, the study noted that many users, even those who are digitally native, still struggle to identify and verify information independently, sometimes believing content based on its perceived authority or emotional appeal rather than its factual accuracy. 

Assumptions:

I. Users are more likely to believe false information if it is presented in a way that appears credible, such as by a trusted organization or with strong emotional appeals.

II. The lack of critical thinking skills is a significant factor in the spread of misinformation, as users are more susceptible to accepting information at face value.

  1. AOption (a)

    Only assumption I is implicit

  2. BOption (b)

    Only assumption II is implicit

  3. COption (c)

    Either assumption I or II is implicit

  4. DOption (d)

    Neither assumption I nor II is implicit

  5. EOption (e)

Company X, a fabric manufacturer, has seen a 30% increase in revenue over the past year. This growth coincides with several key initiatives: the launch of a new line of sustainable fabrics, the installation of new high-speed weaving machines, and a heavy investment in its e-commerce platform. A rival company is now questioning if the growth is solely due to the popularity of eco-friendly products.

Conclusions:

I. Company X's success is a result of a multifaceted strategy that includes product innovation (eco-friendly fabrics), operational efficiency (automation), and improved market reach (e-commerce).

II. Company X's revenue growth is entirely due to the popularity of its eco-friendly fabrics, and the investment in new machines and online sales was unnecessary.
