Logical Reasoning - Statement and Assumption - Discussion
Discussion Forum : Statement and Assumption - Section 5 (Q.No. 32)
Directions to Solve
In each question below is given a statement followed by three assumptions numbered I, II and III. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions, decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement and choose your answer accordingly.
32.
Statement: Everybody loves reading adventure stories.
Assumptions:
- Adventure stories are the only reading material.
- Nobody loves reading any other material.
- All are literate.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The statement mentions that adventure stories are liked by everybody. This does not mean that there is no other reading material or nobody loves reading any other material. So, neither I nor II is implicit. Besides, 'everybody' in the statement stands for 'all literate people' and not for 'all people'. So, III is also not implicit.

Everybody who reads adventure stories are not all literate? How would they even read if they were illiterate in the first place? how strange.

Why can't we assume "everybody" here as all ?

You should use "all literate people", not "everybody", if everybody doesn't mean everybody.
Everybody means full set, so there is no space for anything else like non-literate or people.
