View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

If only assumption I is embedded.

Why this answer is correct

Given Statement: I can take you from Kanpur to Lucknow early from my car, but you have to pay double the fee from normal fee.

Assumptions:

I. It usually takes longer to reach Lucknow from Kanpur. → Embedded

Since the speaker is offering to take someone early, thus it implies that normally it takes longer than what the speaker is promising.

II. People want to reach early, but they will not give additional funds for this. → Not embedded

The statement demands double fee for early arrival, but nowhere does it assume people won't pay. In fact, the speaker expects that some people may pay.

Thus, only assumption I is embedded.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

If only assumption II is embedded.

Why this answer is correct

Given Statement: The taste of the coffee powder of the company 'X' is better than the excessive coffee of the company 'Y'.

Assumptions:

I. If your product is not good, you spend more on advertising. → Not embedded

This assumption suggests a reason why company Y might spend more on advertising — to compensate for the inferior taste. The statement does not directly imply this, but it is a possible underlying reason.

II. Some people are tempted by advertising to buy a product. → Embedded

This assumption is implied directly because the statement mentions that company Y's coffee is much advertised, implying that advertising has an influence on consumer behavior.

Thus, only assumption II is embedded.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.
